4.3 Principle of operation
4.3.1 Manual adjustment
By turning the crank wheel the position of the actuator can be adjusted. This also turns the
motor.
Only carry out manual adjustment when the motor is not in motion. If a positioner is used, the
actuator will automatically move back to the original position. Therefore only carry out manual
adjustment when the actuator is disconnected from the power supply.
It is not necessary to use an extension for a greater mechanical advantage during manual
operation. Use of excessive force can damage the equipment.
4.3.2 Removing the cover
Disconnect the device from the power supply before starting any maintenance or adjustment
work.
●Loosen the four socket-head screws at the corners of the cover

7.2.4 Normal and safety modes
In normal mode the position of the valve is controlled by the set
valueatanalogueinputAI2.TheN↔Sswitchshowninthepicture
ontherightissettonormalmode(N).Innormalmode,noexternal
control systems can be connected to terminals 12 and 14.
7.2.5 Safety mode: freeze protection and excessive temperature
Insafetymodetheactuatorcanbesenttoasafeposition(extended/retracted,dependingon
thedirectionofactionofthevalve)incaseoffailureormalfunctioningofthemicrocontroller.
To operate the Baelz 7020 in connection with an external freeze protection and/or excessive
temperaturethermostat,settheN↔Sswitchtosafetymode(S).
Connect the freeze protection and/or excessive temperature thermostat according to desired
function and priority. Be sure to take the direction of action into account! See wiring diagrams
in the baelz 7020 operating instructions.
7.2.6 3-point control with a continuous output signal
1. Set the positioner up and wire to power supply as described
previously and initialize as described in section 7.5.2.
2. To deactivate the error signal, if desired, set the DIP-switch 11 to 1
("ON")andchangethefollowingvaluesinthemenuitem"CA"using
WinBasTools(onPC,seebaelz7020operatinginstructions):
●AD to 0
●EFP to 0.0%
●LA to 1
