For shorter air supply times:
• Check the permissibility of an external pressure sensor according to the criteria
in Fig. 15:
The pressure sensor must exhibit the same pressure range and the same signal
variant as the MPPE-... (current and voltage variant).

Fig. 15 Permissible use of a pressure sensor
• Use the external pressure sensor directly on
the cylinder.
Because differences in pressure can occur
between the valve and cylinder which the in-
ternal pressure sensor of the valve does not
detect.

• Wire the actual output value of the external pressure sensor to Pin 1 on the
MPPE-... (input X). The external pressure sensor is then queried automatically
instead of the internal pressure sensor.
For visual inspection of the control process:
• Wire the MPPE-... with the following measuring device according to Fig. 17:

The actual electrical value can be tracked on the display of the measuring device.
This changes proportional to the pressure curve at air supply port

Operation
Hinweis
• When switching off the power supply make sure that the compressed air is
switched off as well. Otherwise pressure can build up at the valve outlet.
• Make sure the supply pressure P
E
, the output pressure P
A
and the proportional
actual value w always exhibit the following relationship:
0 bar
< P
A
(
≅ w) < P
E
If not, the MPPE-... will wear prematurely through continuous/normal operation.
• Listen for operating noises from the valve (
Fig. 18).

If the same output pressure is still evident despite a modified setpoint value
specification:
• Look for defective cables.
In the event of fractured setpoint cables (MPPE-...-420B only) or power supply
cables, the last specified output pressure is maintained but
not regulated. Leak-
age produces a change in output pressure over the long term. The pressure may
rise or fall.

Maintenance and care
• Clean the MPPE-... with soap suds only (max. +60 °C).

Troubleshooting
Malfunc-
tion

Remedy
MPPE-… does
not respond
Supply voltage not present
Check the 24 V DC supply
voltage connection
No set value voltage
Check control unit; check
connection
Supply pressure P
E
not present
Increase the supply pressure
above the desired setpoint
pressure. The supply pres-
sure must be lower than the
maximum permissible value
(
Technical data).
MPPE-… defective
Return the MPPE-... to Festo
Flow too low
Restriction of the flow cross section due to
connection technology (swivel fittings, silencer
too small)
Use an alternative connection
Pressure in-
crease too
slow
Large cylinder volume (

Safety setting
If the power supply cable or the setpoint cable (current) breaks
(MPPE-...-420B only), the output pressure is maintained unregulated. In
the long-term, a leak will cause a reduction in pressure.
In case of a setpoint cable break (voltage) the output pressure is set to 0
bar.

The valve is intended for use in an industrial environment. Outside of industrial environ-
ments, e.g. in commercial and mixed-residential areas, actions to suppress interference may
have to be taken.
