Shown below are the most commonly used Stop Solenoids used on Perkins Engines. Note the different mountings
Please call us with the numbers found on your solenoid and use the reference number shown below for the style mounting you require. You can also request information by e-mail by clicking on the "Request Purchasing Info" buttons for each item.
If the solenoid is not installed correctly and a failure is encountered the manufacturer’s warranty will not cover a replacement unit. It is very important to ensure that the plunger is fully bottomed when final linkage is connected. If the solenoid is restricted from bottoming out in the retract/energized mode then it will burn out in approximately 30 seconds. Insufficient current will also result in failure.
TEST PROCEDURE TO DETERMINE PLUNGER HAS BOTTOMED
On units with an auxiliary third terminal, connect a voltmeter or appropriate light (voltage rating) between auxiliary and "+" terminals. When the solenoid is energized and the plunger bottoms, the voltmeter will indicate the battery voltage or the light is energized.
VISUAL METHOD
Push the plunger to the full bottomed position and measure the plunger extension length from the solenoid body before the linkage is connected. Connect linkage and energize the solenoid. If the plunger has fully bottomed, the plunger extension lengths should be the same.
The Electric Shut Offs shown in the photo are three commonly used E.S.O. solenoids for CAV or BOSH Rotary Injection Pumps. These are not polarity sensitive but are voltage sensitive.
~~ TECH MINDER ~~
You can not bleed the injector pump without energizing this solenoid. It stops the flow of fuel to the pump.
