Lever forces
All lever forces stated are applicable at a control pressure of 15
bar (valve not fitted with an extra centring spring). Pedal forces are
applicable when the C2 centring spring is used
(see page 9).

(applies to switch in E- and N-type levers)
The data given below is what is needed to obtain the maximum
service life. The values can be exceeded with retained function,
but will result in a reduction in service life.
In the event of inductive loading, a protective diode must be fitted.

Connections
Three different types of connection thread are available:
G1/4 for flat seal (type Tredo) according to ISO 228/1 (G version)
9/16-18 UNF-2B (for O-ring) according to SAE J1926/1 (U version)
M14 x 1.5 (metric ISO thread) for flat seal (M version)
Weight
The weight of the unit varies with its configuration. A few
