1 Before you start
1.1 Scope
This repair manual is intended to give instructions to replace the switch adjustment screws and/or the
feedback mechanism of the Q-Seires Control modules.
1. Repair of the switch adjustment screws may be neccesary in case too much force was applied on the screw
heads and the screw heads were damaged as such.
2. Repair of the feedback mechanism may be neccesary in case too much force was applied on the threads of
the mechanism and threads were damaged as such.

1.2 General safety messages
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before performing any maintenance procedures on the QC range of Control Modules:
- Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eye wear when performing any maintenance procedures to
avoid personal injury or property damage.
- Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
- Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator.
Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
- Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the control valve from process pressure.
Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve.
- Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
- Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect
against process media.
- Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring pre-compression so the
actuator is not applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
