Answer:
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.

- Refer to the circuit shown in Figure 5-29. In this circuit, the HR contactor is equipped with five contacts. Three are load contacts and two are auxiliary contacts. From looking at the schematic diagram, how is it possible to identify which contacts are the load contacts and which are the auxiliary contacts? Figure 5-29 The contactor contains both load and auxiliary contacts.arrow_forwardRefer to the schematic in Figure 7-10. Assume that when the START button is pressed, the control transformer fuse blows. What is the most likely cause of this trouble? Figure 7-10 Numbers are placed beside all components.arrow_forwardRefer to the circuit shown in Figure 7-10. If wire number 11 were disconnected at the normally open auxiliary M contact, how would the circuit operate? Figure 7-10 Numbers are placed beside all components.arrow_forward
- Refer 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 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 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_forward
