Dampner

DESCRIPTION
The damper contains a solenoid valve that is controlled by the sensing module. The solenoid provides two levels of damping, firm and soft. The soft mode is accomplished by switching the solenoid to the ON state, causing the damper oil to bypass the main damper valving. The firm mode is accomplished by switching the solenoid to the OFF state causing the damper oil to flow through the main damper valving. Each mode is much softer/firmer than a passive damper would be. The solenoid is an integral part of the damper and cannot be serviced separately.
