2Use in potentially explosive atmospheres
DANGER
Explosion hazard due to improper installation!
An explosion hazard is present when installing the electronic
unit in potentially explosive atmospheres.
The electronic unit must only be installed and operated
outside of potentially explosive atmospheres.
Before the commissioning of the electronic unit, observe the
following points:
• The electronic unit must not be installed or commissioned in
an Ex area.
• Check whether the actuator is connected to the right
electronic unit, see section Electrical data for inputs and
outputs on page 27.
• Check whether the associated electronic unit has been
configured using the correct actuator parameters. To do this,
check the relevant information on the name plate of the
actuator and the electronic unit with respect to actuator
type, ambient temperature range of actuator, and NL
number, if applicable.
• On delivery, the positioning time-out function of the
electronic unit associated with the actuator is activated.
Deactivating this setting is not permitted.
• Rapid traverse mode is not allowed to be used on Ex
actuators. Therefore, it is not possible to select it via the user
interface.
• Activating the breakaway function is not permitted.
• Activating the ‘Position dependent switch-off’ function with
2 × torque/force is not permitted.
• The Contrac electronic unit must be upstream of the motor
temperature monitoring unit SD241-B or a similar, certified
tripping unit.
Thermal motor monitoring
In Contrac control actuators for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres, additional independent monitoring of motor
temperature is required.
Monitoring can be performed using the ABB SD241-B monitoring
unit or a comparable certified tripping unit for thermistor
temperature sensors.
The motor temperature monitoring unit interrupts the power
supply as soon as the motor temperature up-scales the
permissible limit value.
Cable harness for the connection of the
actuator to the electronic unit
Installation information on the cable harness for actuators in
Ex design
The electrical connection between the Contrac electronic unit
and the Contrac actuator can be established using the cable set
(order code 695). The cable harness is not part of the Ex
prototype test certificate and must therefore be tested for
safety-relevant functionality within the complete installation by
the installer or operator.
If the specified cable harness does not meet all safety-relevant
requirements, the proper installation material must be used.
For the specified motor connection cable, the shielding must be
connected at both ends and connected with protective ground.

… 3 Design and function
Principle of operation
The electronic unit builds the interface between the actuator and
the control system.
During continuous positioning, the electronic unit varies the
motor torque continuously until the actuator force and the
control valve force are balanced. High response sensitivity and
high positioning accuracy with short positioning time ensure an
excellent control quality and a long actuator life.
Electronic units are available for assembly in the field near the
actuator, remotely in a mounting rack or for integrated assembly
(smallest actuator type). In addition to the terminals, the
electronic unit contains the microprocessor, frequency converter
for motor control, analog and binary inputs and outputs,
PROFIBUS® or HART® communication interfaces, the
commissioning and service field and a plug connection to
connect a PC.
No matter what the motor power of the respective actuator is,
all electronic units are supplied single-phase by 230 V or 115 V
mains supply (50 Hz or 60 Hz).
The commissioning and service field enables the end positions
and direction of rotation to be set on the actuator. Moreover,
status information is displayed using LEDs. Push buttons can be
used to operate the actuator and set the operating mode
(Automatic, Out of Service).

Safety instructions
DANGER
Danger to life due to falling or toppling loads.
Risk of death or serious injury due to the device falling down
or toppling over!
• Standing under suspended loads is prohibited.
• Do not detach the hoisting equipment until installation is
complete.
• Only use the dedicated load pick-up devices (eyebolts) for
suspending the components.
Consider the following items during transport:
• Pay attention to the device weight details.
• Do not expose the device to humidity during transport.
Pack the device accordingly.
• Pay attention to the permissible transportation
temperatures for the device.
Returning devices
For the return of devices, follow the instructions in Returning
devices on page 39.
Storing the device
Note
The storage data provided below assumes that the devices are
fully closed and thus comply with the IP rating stated in the
specification.
When devices are supplied, their IP rating is guaranteed. If the
devices have been tested or commissioned, the IP rating needs
to be guaranteed before they are put into storage.
The devices may be stored under moist and corrosive conditions
for a short time. The equipment is protected against external
corrosive influences. However, direct exposure to rain, snow,
etc., must be avoided.
The permissible storage and transport temperatures must be
observed.
Devices equipped with a heater are also protected by desiccant,
which is placed in the following locations where condensation
may be a problem:
Position sensor:
In connection chamber
Electronic unit
In electrical connection chamber
The desiccant guarantees sufficient protection for
approximately 150 days. It can be regenerated at a temperature
of 90 °C (114 °F) within 4 h.
Remove the desiccant prior to commissioning the actuator or
the electronics.
If you intend to store or transport the device for a prolonged
period (> 6 months), we recommend that you wrap it in plastic
film and add desiccant.
Protect uncovered metallic surfaces with an appropriate long-
term corrosion inhibitor.
The relevant long-term storage temperatures must be observed.

observed; otherwise, electric safety and the IP-rating may be
adversely affected.
Safe isolation of electric circuits which are dangerous if touched
is only guaranteed when the connected devices fulfill the
requirements of EN 61140 (basic requirements for secure
separation).
To ensure safe isolation, install supply lines so that they are
separate from electrical circuits which are dangerous if touched,
or implement additional isolation measures for them.
General
Each actuator requires a suited Contrac electronic unit with
installed actuator-specific software. Observe the information in
the operating instruction. The specifications on the name plates
of the electronic unit and actuator must match to guarantee
correct hardware and software allocation.
Please observe the following information when installing the
cable set:
• The specific regulations governing the installation of
electric systems in potentially explosive atmospheres
must be observed during electric installation work. The
provisions in accordance with EN 60079-14 must be
observed, particularly in respect of installing the shield
bonding and potential equalization between the actuator,
electronic unit, and motor protection equipment, see
Connection of cable shielding on page 30.
• The motor and position sensor may only be connected
using IP 66 Ex cable glands in accordance with EN 60079
ff with EU type examination certificate in accordance
with Directive 2014/34/EU.
• Use a cable lug or a solid wire, bended to a ‘U’, to connect
the motor cable
• Make sure that sufficient strain relief measures are in
place for all cable connections.
• Protect all cables in the connection chambers sufficiently
against contact with metal components. Guarantee a gap
of at least 6 mm (0.24 in) between all conductive
components.
• Remove the desiccant in the connection chamber of the
motor and position sensor.
• Do not change the factory-set installation position of the
motor junction box.
• Close off any cable entries that are not required using
ATEX-certified IP 66 sealing plugs.

Selection of suited connection cables
Please observe the following information when selecting cables:
• Use suited cables only for the electric connection
between the Contrac control actuator in potentially
explosive atmospheres and the components outside of
the potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Use shielded cables for the motor / brake cable, the
sensor cable, and the signal cable to the control system /
controller.
• Connect the shielding of the motor / brake cable and the
sensor cable on both sides (to the actuator and to the
Contrac electronic unit).
• For the connection between the motor and motor
temperature monitoring unit and for the power supply,
shielded cables are not required.
Installation information on the cable harness for actuators in
Ex design
The electrical connection between the Contrac electronic unit
and the Contrac actuator can be established using the cable set
(order code 695). The cable harness is not part of the Ex
prototype test certificate and must therefore be tested for
safety-relevant functionality within the complete installation by
the installer or operator.
If the specified cable harness does not meet all safety-relevant
requirements, the proper installation material must be used.
For the specified motor connection cable, the shielding must be
connected at both ends and connected with protective ground.
