# ANSI/IEEE Solenoid valve actuator form Canonical URL: https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/ansi-solenoid-valve-actuator Publisher: Elora Grid Updated: 2026-10-28 Lookup label: HSV1 Drawing use: Schematic Reference families: IEEE / ANSI, Manufacturer ## Symbol convention Convention: IEEE / ANSI Form: Standard Solenoid Valve Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Solenoids, block HSV1. Matching functional counterpart linked separately. Independently drawn educational geometry; not a certified IEEE glyph or database identifier. Related representation: [Solenoid valve actuator](https://eloragrid.ai/symbols/iec-solenoid-valve-actuator) IEEE-library form of solenoid valve actuator: this representation identifies the electrical actuator associated with a solenoid-operated valve. ## In plain English ### What does ANSI/IEEE Solenoid valve actuator form mean? This reference locates solenoid valve operating mechanism in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented solenoids family. This representation identifies the electrical operating mechanism associated with a solenoid-operated valve. The public library uses HSV1 for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number. ### A simple example Read the operating mechanism and the contact reference state together. Cross-reference every associated contact to the same device and show which movement, signal or reset changes its condition; the symbol alone does not establish the complete switching sequence. ### What the drawings help you do Cross-reference the process valve tag and the operating mechanism's electrical terminals. A solenoid operating mechanism symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram. Cross-reference the process valve tag and the operating mechanism's electrical terminals. A solenoid operating mechanism symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram. The linked functional counterpart explains the same operating role in its own drawing context; agreement of every detailed convention mark is not asserted. ### This particular reference IEEE-library form of solenoid valve operating mechanism: this representation identifies the electrical operating mechanism associated with a solenoid-operated valve. A solenoid operating mechanism symbol is not a complete fluid-flow valve diagram. ### Terms - Normally open / normally closed: The contact state in the normal condition defined for the drawing. - Coil: A wound conductor that can produce a magnetic field when energised. - Terminal: An identified point where a conductor connects. Concept diagram: Identify the device and form → Read the connections and state → Check the equipment reference A guide to reading this reference.
