Duty cycle rating according IEC60034-1 S4. See table in paragraph 3.1.2 for rating figures.
Exceeding the actuator’s rated duty cycle may cause thermal overload.
Intermittent duty S4
The duty is a sequence of identical cycles which consist of starting time, operation time with constant
load and rest period. The rest period allows the machine to cool down so that thermal equilibrium is
not reached. The relative on-time at S4-25% or S4-50% is limited to 25% and 50% respectively.
3.1.5 Space Heater
Condensation in the actuator is possible due to wide fluctuation of the ambient temperature. The
heater integrated in the control unit prevents this in general.

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 Pre-installation
•Please check if the electric power supply corresponds with your specification and the information on
the actuator type plate.
•Make sure the power supply has been switched off before you start wiring the actuator.
4.1.1 Use in General Service
Verify the actuator’s nameplate to ensure that model number, torque output, operating speed, voltage
and enclosure type are correct before installation or use.
It is important to verify that the torque output of the actuator is appropriate for the torque requirements
of the valve and that the duty cycle of the actuator is appropriate for the intended application.
Make sure the power supply has been switched off before the actuator is being wired.
4.1.2 Use in Potentially Explosive Atmosphere
Model: ELA80 ~ ELA3000
Type of Enclosure : IECEx: Ex db IIB T4 Gb and Ex tb IIIC T135°C Db
ATEX: II 2 G Ex db IIB T4 Gb and II 2 D Ex tb IIIC T135°C Db
Ambient Temperature: -20°C (-4°F) up to +60°C (140°F)
WARNING:
Read this installation, operation and maintenance manual carefully
and completely before attempting to install, operate, or troubleshoot
the ELA actuator.
CAUTION:
Installation, commissioning, maintenance, repairs and modification work
may only be performed by qualified personnel with extensive knowledge on
how to work on explosion-proof electrical equipment.
4.2 Actuator Mounting
Note: Prior to mounting, the part-turn actuator must be checked for any damage.
Damaged parts must be replaced by original spare parts
Mounting is most easily done with the valve shaft pointing vertically upwards. But mounting is also
possible in any other position.
The ELA-series electric actuators are supplied with a female double square drive output. The
ISO5211 bolt patterns are provided for actuator mounting. The actuator drive bush can be replaced or
removed for machining easily.
It is mandatory for the actuator to be firmly secured to a robust mounting bracket or to be mounted
directly to the valves’ISO mounting pad. High tensile bolts or studs with spring locking washers must be
used.
The valve stem must be in line with the actuator output drive to avoid side loads to the shaft. To avoid
backlash play between the actuator, mounting bracket and valve is not allowed.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to work on your ECON actuator without first shutting off the power supply
Do not attach ropes or hooks to the hand wheel for lifting purposes

4.4 Torque Switch Setting
The torque spring, which detects the variation of torque during the operation, is installed to prevent
damaging the valve and actuator under overload conditions. If an overload of the actuator occurs, the
torque switch will be activated and the actuator stops immediately.
The torque switches are set by manufacturer on the production site. If re-setting is necessary, please
contact the ECON actuator distributer before setting the torque switch.
CAUTION:
Do not reset the torque switch to a setting higher than the maximum setting
stated by the manufacturer.
4.5 Counter-Clockwise to Close Setting
Standard actuators are normally set to clockwise rotation to close. However, the rotation can be
reversed to counter-clockwise to close by simply reconfiguring the wiring as follows:
•Reverse wiring on the main terminal block: 9 & 10 as well as 11 & 12.
•Adjust the visual indicator to suit the counter-clockwise rotation.
If a PCU card is installed:
•Reverse P1 (orange) and P3 (grey) on the PCU board.
•Move the actuator manually to the half-open position and push the auto-reset button once.
4.6 Mechanical Travel Stop Adjustment
•Loosen both (open and close) travel stopper bolt nuts.
•Operate the actuator manually by turning the hand wheel (the clutch lever must be
switched to “manual” first) to the closed position until the “close” open limit switch is being
activated.
•Tighten the close travel stopper bolt until resistance is felt. (In this position the close travel
stopper bolt should not be able to travel any further).
•Loosen back the close travel stopper bolt by only one turn and tighten the close travel stopper
bolt nut.
•Repeat the same operation for setting of the open travel stopper bolt.

follows:
•Manually rotate the hand wheel of the actuator to the fully closed position.
•While measuring the resistance between P1 (black) and P2 (blue), gently rotate the
Potentiometer Gear until it reaches between 80 - 120 Ω(100 Ω preferred), by using a flat head
screw driver.
•Engage the Potentiometer Gear into the Point Shaft Gear and use an Allen key to fasten the
locking bolt of the Potentiometer Gear.
4.8 Current Position Transmitter –CPT (Optional)
The potentiometer is used for the actuator signal fe e db ac k . It reads a resistance value w h i c h
corresponds with t he current position of the actuator and transfers i t to the CPT c ar d . The CPT
indicates the current position of t he actuator throughout the complete stroke by a 4 –20mA output
si gna l .

4.8.2 Calibration of Zero and Span - CPT
The settings of Zero and Span have been calibrated at the factory. However, if re-calibration is required,
proceed as follows:
•Apply power (or use the manual override) to move the actuator to its fully closed position
(clockwise rotation).
•When the actuator is in the fully closed position, adjust the ZERO close setting on the CPT board
until an output value of 4mA is achieved.
•Apply power (or use the manual override) to move the actuator to its fully open position
(counter- clockwise rotation).
•When the actuator is in the fully open position, adjust the SPAN open setting on the CPT board until
an output value of 20mA is achieved.

4.9 Proportional Control Unit –PCU (Optional)
The actuators can be equipped with an additional PCU-PCB (Printed Circuit Board). This circuit board
includes a mounting kit and can be installed in any standard open-close actuator. The PCU converts an
open-close actuator into a modulating actuator.
Note: Please be aware that since the year 2020 a second version PCU (VAC) became available. This PCU can
be recognized by the “PCU-EB” marking on the PCB. This PCB has a slightly different setting
instruction, which can be found in paragraph 4.9.5..

Note 2: If the ELA150~3000, 115/230VAC actuators only will be operated by open and close
commands on terminal 11 and 12, the following procedure must be followed in order to select
the desired feedback signal:
•Select the output signal by adjusting the DIP switches as mentioned in this paragraph.
•Connect the power supply; Neutral on terminal 5 and Live on terminal 13.
•Make a link between terminal 13 and 14 and connect a multi-meter to terminal 17 and 18.
•Push “auto adjust” (red button on the circuit board) for 2 seconds.
•The actuator will now “auto adjust” itself.
•After the adjusting cycle has stopped, remove the link between 13 and 14.
•Now the actuator van be operated by giving the open and close commands on terminal 11
and 12. The feedback signal will be given on terminal 17 and 18.
•The feedback signal however still needs to be checked and if necessary adjusted. Therefor
measure the voltage or current on terminal 17 and 18, while opening and closing the
actuator. If necessary adjust the potentiometers “zero” and “span” on the bottom of the
circuit board until the output values are correct.
