the order documents!
4.1 Fitting position
Whenttingwiththeconnectingrodinhorizontalposition,tthelinearactuatorsuchthatthe
sides of the yoke are positioned one above the other in the vertical plane.
●Allow for about 140 mm space above the cover at the site of installation.
● Checktheworkenvironmentbeforettingtheactuatorandputtingitintooperation:
●Make sure that the valve is correctly installed. For detailed information, refer to the
valve's installation instructions.
●Determine the mounting position of the linear actuator. Do not mount linear actuators

4.2 Assembly with the valve
Prior to assembly, check that:
● theoperatingconditionscomplytothespecicationsofthelinearactuator.
●the valve is complete (yoke on actuator or on valve).
●the connections on valve and actuator match.
The linear actuator is supplied with the spindle retracted.

Fig. 3: Assembly with the valve
Ensure that the connecting rod of the actuator and the valve spindle are correctly aligned.
Misalignment can lead to power loss and premature wear.
When supplied with integrated potentiometer assembly, adjustment of the assembly may be
necessary.

4.3 Principle of operation
Motorizedlinearactuatorstooperatecontrolvalvesforowregulationapplicationsincontrol
and process technology. The self-locking threaded spindle/spindle nut is driven by an electric
motor via a gearbox. This converts the rotary movement into a linear movement. Load-
dependent limit switches dictate the end positions
4.3.1 Manual adjustment
Manual adjustment may only be carried out when the motor is not in motion. To adjust, press
and hold the yellow release button and turn the manual adjuster until the desired position is
reached. As soon as the yellow release button is no longer depressed, the actuator follow the
signal from a control system or a built-in positioner.
Tip: If the manually set position is to be maintained, ensure that the input signal
from the control system or positioner is deactivated.

4.4 Electrical connection
Risk of electric shock!
Danger
Use an appropriate power supply to ensure that no hazardous voltage can enter the
device during normal operation or in the event of a system failure or defective system
components.
Failure to heed this warning may result in death, serious injury or substantial material
damage.
For short-circuit protection and disconnection of the actuator from the power supply, fuses and
switch disconnectors must be provided on site. The current values for the rating depend on the
operating current of the motor (refer to the nameplate).
Theelectricalconnectionshouldonlybecarriedoutbytrained,qualiedpersonnel.
●Prior to connection, observe the instructions in this chapter.
●After connection, but before applying voltage, observe the instructions in the chapter
"Commissioning"(page14).
●When making the electrical connection, be sure that the power supply is turned OFF!
Ensure protection against unintentional reconnection to the power supply!
●For wiring and connection, observe the regulations for the construction of electric power
installations and the regulations of the local energy supplier!
● Checkcomplianceofthesupplyvoltageandfrequencywiththespecicationsonthe
nameplate of the actuator and on the nameplate of the actuator motor.
●Always select the cable cross section so as to match the actuator's power consumption
andtherequiredcablelength.Minimumcrosssectionofthecableforthislinear

5. COMMISSIONING
Actuators which are supplied tted with a valve are set to the appropriate
valve stroke length. When an actuator with a 7020 digital positioner is tted
to a valve, an initialization run must be carried out to set up the actuator
according to the valve type.
Attention
5.1 Test run
5.1.1 Checking the direction of rotation
●Adjust the actuator manually to roughly the middle position.
●In direction of travel CLOSE, switch the actuator on and watch the direction of rotation.
● Ifthedirectionofrotationiswrong,switchoimmediately.
●Check wiring (jumpers).
●Repeat the test run.
Risk of electric shock!
Danger
Iftheswitchesintheactuatorarenotfactory-wired,checkproperswitchingoinendpositions:
With the cover removed, the linear actuator may only be operated briey for test runs or
when performing absolutely essential adjustments on electrical components, such as
potentiometer, limit switches or positioning electronics.
While performing this activity, there is unobstructed access to hazardous, live, exposed,
moving and rotating parts. Adjustments performed incorrectly or without exercising the
necessary caution may result in death, serious injury or substantial material damage.
Any operation of the linear actuator with the cover removed for a purpose other than
that described above is prohibited.
Pay attention to moving parts during tting and adjustment. Risk of injury
and substantial material damage.
