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.

Decisions, and Actions
In the following application, a temperature switch controls a heating contactor and a flow switch is used to
ensure there is enough air flow. If there is not enough air flow, an alarm is sounded. Complete the required
information.
1. List all the signal devices in the circuit.
2. List all the action devices in the circuit.
3. List the decision part of the circuit that automatically sounds the alarm if there is a problem.
4. When the heating element is on during normal operation, is the flow switch open or closed?

- Refer to Figure 211 to answer the following questions. Referring to switch (RS SW 123), in what position must the switch be set to make connection between terminals 3 and 4?arrow_forwardRefer 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 Figure 21–1 to answer the following questions. In what position must switch SW 123 be set to make connection between terminals 3 and 4?arrow_forward
- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 16-11. Assume that the platform is located on the bottom floor. When the UP push button is pressed the pump motor does not start. Which of the following could not cause this problem? The contacts of limit switch LS1 are open. The contacts of limit switch LS2 are open. Motor starter coil M is open. The overload contact is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 25–5. Assume that timer TR1 is set for a delay of 10 seconds and timer TR2 is set for a delay of 5 seconds. When the START button is pressed, the motor starts. After 10 seconds the S1 contacts open and the motor continues to accelerate, but never reaches full speed. After a delay of about 30 seconds, the motor trips out on overload. Which of the following could cause this problem? TR1 coil is open. S2 coil is open. S1 coil is open. R coil is open.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 3311. You are to construct this circuit on the job. Would it be possible to use an 11 pin control relay for 4CR?arrow_forward
- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 42–21. Assume that a fused jumper is connected across terminals 1 and 3 of TR2 timer. What would happen if the jumper were left in place and the FIRST SPEED push button pressed? The motor would start in its lowest speed and progress to second speed, but never increase to third speed. The motor would start operating immediately in third speed. The motor would not start. The motor would start in second speed and then increase to third speed.arrow_forwardBoxes (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.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 108. In this circuit, the jog button has been connected incorrectly. The normally closed section has been connected in parallel with the run push button and the normally open section has been connected in series with the holding contacts. Explain how this circuit operates.arrow_forward
- Refer 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.
