8.2 Setting of switch/sensor cams
The colour of the cams corresponds with the visual position indicator. Cams can be easily set without using any tools.
ECON cams have a spline connection and can be set by lifting or pushing down the cams over the shaft . The cams
are spring loaded and therefore self-locking.
Note : Cams are pre-set by the factory for most standard applications. This setting however must always be
checked before commissioning.
Loosen the switch box cover bolts.
Remove the cover carefully.
Setting of the open-cam setting:
- Put the actuator in the fully open position.
- Lift the yellow (lower) cam and rotate it until the switch is activated.
- Release the cam and it will lock itself to the shaft.
Close cam setting
- Put the actuator in the fully closed position.
- Push the red (upper) cam down and rotate it until the switch is activated.
- Release the cam and it will lock itself to the shaft.

8.5 Setting of the Current Position Transmitter unit –CPT (Optional)
A potentiometer reads the current position of the actuator (valve) and transmits a resistance value to the
position transmitter PCB. The transmitter indicates the actuator (valve) position throughout the complete stroke and
converts resistance value it into a 4 to 20mA output signal.
Technical features
Power supply range: 12.5 to 37VDC (25V typical)
Current signal output: 4 to 20mA
Max. load resistance: Max. resistance (Ohm) = (Supply voltage –12.5) / 0.02
Potentiometer: 0 to 500Ω/ 10kΩ
Operation temperature: -20 to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)
Dimension: 40 x 60 x 15mm
DC power supply
8.5.1 Calibration of the potentiometer
Operate the actuator into the closed position.
Connect an Ohm-meter to the P1 and P3 resistor. The value shall be approximately 1kΩ.
Loosen the potentiometer gear wheel from the shaft and connect the Ohm-meter to P1 and P3
and rotate the gear wheel gently until a value between 80 to 120Ωis achieved (100Ωpreferred!).
While maintaining the value, tighten and lock the gear wheel to shaft.
8.5.2 Calibration of the zero span
The zero span setting has been calibrated by manufacturer. However, if re-calibration is required, please
follow the hereunder mentioned instruction:
Operate the actuator to the middle position and thereafter to the fully closed position.
As soon as the actuator reaches the fully closed position, adjust the “zero” rotary switch on the
PCB until a value of 20mA is achieved.
