In relation to the circuit presented below, mark the alternative(s) that you consider correct.
1 To enable actuator A2 to advance, it is necessary to switch valve V2 to the leftmost position and ensure that valve V1 is in its initial (intermediate) position.
2 Switching valve V2 to the leftmost position allows actuator A2 to advance, but for this to happen, valve V1 must also be switched to the leftmost position.
3 When activating valve V1, using the locking lever installed on the left side of it, the two actuators (A1 and A2) are allowed to advance.
4 Hydraulic pump B1 is a simple variable displacement type.
5 Valves V1 and V2 have a TANDEM center.

Boxes (or certain production parts) are moved by a double-acting cylinder away from a gravity-feed magazine towards an assembly device. A push button and a pedal switch are to be incorporated in the circuit. The cylinder is to move out when either of these is actuated. The return stroke is actuated by the cylinder rod after it reaches the end of the forward stroke.
Draw the pneumatic circuit diagram using ISO symbols and connecting the ports with solid lines.

- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the lower floor. When the UP push button is pressed, the platform rises. When the platform reaches the upper floor, however, the pump does not turn off but continues to run until the overload relay opens the overload contacts. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. The solenoid valve opened when limit switch LS1 opened. b. The UP push button is shorted. c. Limit switch LS1 did not open its contacts. d. Limit switch LS2 contacts did not reclose when the platform began to rise.arrow_forwardRefer to the schematic diagram in Figure 318. Assume that the motor is not running. When the third speed push button is pressed, the motor starts in its lowest speed. After a delay of 3 seconds, the motor accelerates to second speed and 3 seconds later to third speed. After a period of about 1 minute, the fourth speed push button is pressed, but the motor does not accelerate to fourth speed. Which of the following could cause this problem? a. Control relay CR2 coil is open. b. S2 contactor coil is open. c. CR3 coil is shorted. d. S3 contactor coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 310. When would the amber pilot light be turned on? a. When the manual/automatic switch is set in themanual position. b. When the float switch contacts are closed. c.

- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 97. Assume that when the forward push button is pressed the motor does not start, but when the reverse push button is pressed the motor will start in the reverse direction. When the stop button is pressed the motor stops running. Which of the following could NOT cause this problem? a. The forward push button is defective. b. The F starter coil is open. c. The overload auxiliary contact is open. d. The normally closed R contact is open.arrow_forwardTo answer the following questions refer to the circuit in Figure 416.
