Product Description
EEA-PAM-525-A-30 is a proportional valve amplifier that belongs to the Vickers brand. The brand has been a part of the Eaton, company, which is a reputable name throughout hydraulics and other markets.The unit is a part of the so-called Vickers 30 series of amplifiers. The idea of the manufacturer was to deliver a solution that will serve efficiently across various industries. The crucial thing to keep in mind is that you can use this amplifier with K*G4V-3/5 non-feedback valves made by the same manufacturer.The good news is that the amplifier comes ready to use out of the box, but you will need to ensure to set everything up properly. That shouldn’t be difficult as long as you have a bit of understanding of how these products work.
Keep in mind that the amplifier has multiple LED’s on the front panel. Those are indicating lights that show when the power of 24V is switched on, as well as whether the command control voltage is in function. Some other indicator lights include the red one for overload protection, which will detect overload and automatically reset once you deal with the fault. The most common cause of an overload is improper wiring, so you may want to focus on that area to detect an error. You make all the adjustments on the front face of the card, which is also where you do all the monitoring. Apart from the things already mentioned, you can also change gain and deadband compensation. The amplifier will turn off if the nominal input voltage is not at least 18V. Overall, it is a reliable unit that can do the job expected from it.
