That is a pilot operated valve, so you won't see any response until hydraulic pump is running, do you have this?

I have the valves operational now, I wired it just as I suspected and got it to work. I can open and close all the valves I'm just trying to wrap my head around how the switch for changing the chuck clamping direction works. It looks like the switch works by changing which side of the solenoid is energized ie if the switch is to the left terminals 51 and 52 are connected and if its to the right the 51 and 53 are connected allowing a constant power to go to either side of the valve solenoid? I don't know if this is correct. What I need to know is if the chuck requires a constant pressure from the hydraulic unit once its clamped or does it hold pressure once its clamped on the part. Can you explain how the foot pedal works on the original control. Does it only open the chuck and does the control open the valve to close the chuck once the foot pedal is released?
Foot switch was Flip/Flop type circuit.
opens or closes
no. For safety reasons there was a Toggle Switch some where on the Operator's Panel for clamping direction OD or ID to disable Cycle Start.
Hope that helps some,
