The ASCO solenoid operators are designed for use on the ASCO 327 direct operated solenoid valves.
ASCO valves are available in aluminium or stainless steel - ASCO solenoid valves are certified to ATEX, Category 1G/2D and Equipment Protection Level (EPL) Ga/Db.
Both operators are IECEx approved and certified to IEC 61508 Functional Safety (SIL 3 capable).
The ASCO 327 series solenoid valves feature a brass, stainless steel or aluminium (NAMUR) body.
These solenoid valves have a large flow rate (Kv 0.45 m³/h), operate from 0 to 10 bar and require no minimum operating pressure.

ASCO 327 Series Solenoid Valves – The Full Range
The polarity insensitive solenoid operators have a power consumption of only 0.5W at 24V DC and feature a newly developed electronic booster coil and stainless steel core for optimum performance.
The operator can be rotated 360° and locked into position to select the best position for cable entry. Electrical connection is via a cable gland (M20x1.5) or cable connection 1/2” NPT and easy access screw terminals.
The ASCO solenoid valves are suitable for use in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +60°C, and are rated to ll 1/2G Ex ia IIC T6 Ga / II 2D Ex tb lllC T85°C IP66/67 Db, Certification: ATEX and IECEx EN 60079-0, EN 60079-11, 60079-31, EN 61241-0 and EN 61241-11.
The introduction of the new solenoid valve means that ASCO can now offer a universal intrinsically safe valve for 3/2 and 2/2 normally open and normally closed applications in aggressive environments across the process industry.
