Duty cycles are calculated as a percentage of “on time” vs. the “off time”. A typical calculation is as follows: [(30 seconds on) /(30 seconds on + 90 seconds off)] x 100% = 25% Duty Cycle
Continuous Duty is typically defined as 100% duty cycle
Intermittant Duty is typically defined as 25% duty cycle for D-Frame Solenoids, and 10% for cylindrical solenoids
Pulse Duty is typically defined as 10% duty cycle (max on-time does not exceed 100ms
