I am thinking to use this electric triple selector valve to control three different cylinders with one SCV valve.
I want to make sure I am understanding the operation of it correctly and get any opinions on its selection for my uses.
This is the description of the Surplus Center valve 9-6865:
"Allows one directional control valve to control three separate circuits. First circuit is prioritized so first solenoid must be powered to turn first circuit off. Second or third solenoids must be powered to select their circuits after first circuit is turned off. Check valve in "A" port in the third circuit. Restrictor fitting (0.045" orifice) installed in the P1 inlet port can easily be removed, restricts flow to all three "A" ports."
I was planning to connect port one to a grapple, then two and three to Top-N-Tilt. This would allow my single fender mounted SCV to control all three.
Switches mounted on the top of the stick would engage and disengage the selector.
As I see it two switches/relays would be needed, both of them double pole.
In normal mode Port one (grapple) would always be active.
Activating the first switch energizes the solenoid for port one and port two. Port one solenoid must be activated to turn it off and allow port two to function.
Activating the second switch also activates solenoid for port one and then the solenoid for port three.
Does all that sound right?
Thanks in advance. James
