separate compensator valves for flow (load sensing)

That results in a steeper pressure compensation
curve, which can be beneficial in certain applications.
The flow control stage has no integrated pilot valve,
because this would eliminate the effect of the two
spool control. The pressure stage has no integrated
pilot valve, because during flow control the T port of
the pressure compensator is under control pressure.
This would prevent the pilot valve from opening.

9. Horse power compensator, codes compensator valve pilot cartridge

...*L*, ...*C*
Depending on its type, the horse power compensator
consists of a remote pressure com­pen­sator or a load
sensing compensator in combination with the horse
power pilot cartridge. The opening pressure of this
pilot cartridge depends on the actual displacement
of the pump. At large displacements the opening
pressure is low. As the displacement is reduced
the opening pressure is increased according to the
form of the contour sleeve in the pump. That leads
to the desired control characteristic (constant input
horse power).
That is achieved by having the pilot cartridge seat
being guided by the contour sleeve. This contour
sleeve is firmly connected to the servo piston. The
contour represents the desired input horse power.
The horse power pilot cartridge is internally con-
nected to the compensator valve. Compensator

Constant horse power curve with adjustment

Horse power pilot cartridge

At the adjustment screw of the horse power pilot valve
a basic adjustment of the horse power compensator
can be made. After loosening the lock nut (self sealing
nut) the compensator control curve can be moved
by turning the adjustment screw (adjustment A in
the diagram left). This adjustment, done to meet the
required constant input horse power curve, is already
made during the factory test and should be modified
only in exceptional cases.
To adjust the correct constant horse power curve
a measuring device is required. An output power
measurement requires pressure and flow metering.
An input power measurement requires torque and
speed measurement or a measurement of the electric
motor current.

valve switches between low pressure setting and
high pressure setting. During low pressure both pilot
cartridges are connected to the compensator, in the p2 p2
high pressure setting (solenoid energized) only the
A-side cartridge is connected. Therefore the B-side
pilot needs to be set for lower pressure. The direc- A B A B A B

11. Trouble shooting guide

Pump delivers no output flow.
Drive motor does not turn.
Reason Motor is not connected correctly or one of the three phases has failed. Motor
does not turn smoothly when pump is disconnected from pump.
Solution Check motor connections, check electrical power supply.
Reason Pump mechanically blocked. Motor turns smoothly when disconnected from
pump.
Solution Send pump to factory for service.
Drive motor only turns at slow speed.
Reason Motor is not selected properly. In star circuit not enough torque.
Solution Start pump at unloaded system. Use motor with more horse power.
Reason Pump is hydraulically blocked. No function of compensator, no pressure relief
valve. Pump stops after e few turns.
Solution Check function of pump compensator (see below). Start pump at unloaded
system.
Drive motor turns, pump does not turn.
Reason Coupling is not or not correctly mounted.
Solution Check coupling assembly and correct it.
Drive motor turns and pump turns.
Reason Wrong direction of rotation.
Solution Change direction of motor rotation.
Reason Fluid reservoir empty or not filled to level, suction line ends above fluid level.
Solution Fill reservoir to required level, if necessary increase suction pipe length.
Reason Suction line is blocked. E. g. by plugs, cleaning tissues, plastic-plugs. Ball valve in
the s­ uction line closed. Suction filter blocked.
Solution Check suction line for free flow. Open valves in suction line. Valves should be
equipped with electrical indicator. Check suction filter.
Reason Suction line not gas tight, pump gets air into suction port.
Solution Seal suction line against air ingression.
Reason Pressure line / system is not able to bleed air out.
Solution Unload pressure port, unload system before start, bleed air from pressure line.
Pump does not build up pressure, but delivers full flow at low pressure.
Reason Standard pressure compensator is set to minimum pressure.
Solution Adjust compensator setting to desired pressure.
Reason Orifice in remote pressure compensator blocked.
Solution Make sure orifice Ø 0.8 mm in control spool is free and open.
Reason No pressure pilot valve connected to port PR.
Solution Install suitable pressure pilot valve and adjust it to the desired setting.
Reason Multiple pressure pilot selector valve is not energized. Pump works in stand-by.
Solution Energize selector valve solenoid.
Reason No load sensing line connected.
Solution Connect system load sensing port to compensator.
Reason Load sensing valve is closed or too small.
Solution Open load sensing valve, use larger valve size.
Reason Too much pressure drop between pump and load sensing valve.
Solution Make sure connection is wide enough and has not too much pressure drop.
Reason Differential pressure at compensator is adjusted improperly (too low).
Solution Check differential pressure adjustment and correct it as described above.

Reason Horse power compensator setting changed.

Solution Check setting of horse power compensator and correct it, if required.
Reason Proportional displacement control is not connected as required.
Solution Check wiring; connect according to installation manual for electronic module.
Reason Displacement transducer (LVDT) adjustement changed.
Solution Correct zero setting at displacement transducer.
Reason Electronic module has no supply power.
Solution Make sure module is powered with 22 - 36 V DC.
Reason Plug instead of orifice Ø 0.8 mm in the load sensing line to pump.
Solution Install orifice as required.
Reason Cylinder block lifts from valve plate due to excessive wear.
Solution Send pump to factory for service.
Pump does not compensate.
Reason No orifice is in load sensing line to compensator code FFC.
Solution Install orifice Ø 0.8 mm as shown in circuit diagram (page 8).
Reason No pressure pilot valve connected to compensator or valve is blocked.
Solution Connect pressure pilot valve to compensator, make sure valve opens as
required.
Reason Load sensing line connected incorrectly (e. g. upstream of load sensing valve)
Solution Connect load sensing line downstream (actuator side) of load sensing valve..
Reason No or too low pressure at pump outlet port.
Solution Pump outlet pressure must be at least 15 bar, because otherwise the bias spring
in the pump cannot be compressed.
Pump does not upstroke, sticks at zero displacement.
Reason Compensator is blocked due to contamination.
Solution Clean hydraulic fluid, clean compensator valve.
Reason Cable to LVDT or proportional solenoid is interrupted.
Solution Check wiring and make sure cable is ok. Replace if necessary.
Compensator is unstable.
Reason Compenstor spool sticks, due to contamination of hydraulic fluid.
Solution Clean hydraulic system, clean compensator valve.
Reason Compensator differential pressure changed (too low or too high).
Solution Adjust compensator differential pressure to required setting.
Reason Wrong pilot orifice or pressure pilot valve improperly selected.
Solution Select pilot orifice and pressure pilot valve as recommended.
Reason Dynamic critical system, e. g.: pressure compensator combined with pressure re-
ducing valve, load sensing (flow) compensator combined with flow control valve.
Solution Use remote pressure compensator instead of standard pressure compensator,
install orifice in load sensing line remote from compensator (as close as possible
to load sensing valve).
