3.2 Description
The GEMÜ LSC limit switch box is suitable for installation on manually and pneumatically operated quarter turn valves. It is also
fitted with an optical position indication for visual confirmation of position.
3.3 Function
Limit switch boxes are used to feed back and verify the position of valves, whether manual or pneumatically actuated quarter
turn actuators. Depending on the version, the limit switch box GEMÜ LSC is equipped with 1 to 4 sensors or microswitches. The
shaft of the limit switch box is positively connected to the shaft of the quarter turn actuator and is turned with the rotary move-
ment of the quarter turn actuator. The trip cams fastened to the shaft then actuate the integrated sensors, which are used for
electronic signal transmission.

9 Assembly and installation
9.1 Installation on manually operated valves
The products with F05 connection in the bottom of the housing can also be installed with our mounting kit "LSC S01 Z" on
manually operated valves. It is important that the manual valve has a top flange in accordance with ISO 5211 and a thread bolt
hole in the shaft.
Install the mounting kit as follows:
1. Assemble the base of the mounting kit on the manual valve.
2. Mount the lock nut supplied with the product on the actuator.
3. Screw the actuator into the central threaded hole of the manual valve.
4. Position the upper section of the mounting kit on the previously assembled base.
ðThe bolt holes allow a rough height alignment to the valve used. The mounting bracket can be set to the following
heights:
– F03-F07: 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 mm
– F10-F12: 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 mm
5. Fasten the cover to the base.
ðUse the enclosed bolts and perforated washers for this.
6. Assemble the limit switch box on the cover.
7. Adjust the height of the actuator so that the shaft of the limit switch box engages in the actuator.
8. Fix in position with the lock nut.
9. Carry out a visual inspection of the complete subassembly and a functional test of the position feedback.

9.2 Installation on pneumatic actuators
9.2.1 Preparations for installation of the actuator
1. Unscrew the bolt from the trigger cam.
2. Pull off the trigger cam.
9.2.2 Installation of the limit switch box
The modules can be mounted quickly and easily on the intended actuator using the supplied fastening fixtures in accordance
with VDI/VDE 3845.
1. Place the actuator in the end position in which the groove of the actuator shaft is parallel to the actuator housing.
2. Place the box on the actuator using the appropriate mounting kit.
3. Mount the mounting kit with the supplied locking screws (x4) on the actuator.
4. Loosen the cover screws (x4) and open the housing.
ðDo not unscrew the bolts too far; leave them connected to the cover.
5. Guide the disconnected system cable through the cable gland into the housing and connect the wires to the terminal block.
ðObserve the wiring diagram on the corresponding datasheet or in the housing cover and connect the housing to the po-
tential equalisation.
6. Close off the housing with the cover.
ðWhen fitting the cover, make sure that the gasket is in the correct position.
7. Tighten the cover screws.
9.3 Adjusting the switch/travel range
The actuators are set by GEMÜ to a travel range of 0-90°. If another travel range is required for the application, please follow the
following steps:
1. Place the actuator in the desired end position 1 and adjust the lower actuator.
ðPress down the actuator on the outer ring and turn into the position in which the switch is actuated.
2. Allow the actuator to engage in the teeth above.
3. Place the actuator in the desired end position 2 and adjust the upper actuator.
ðPress down the actuator on the outer ring and turn into the position in which the switch is actuated.
4. Allow the actuator to engage in the teeth above.
5. Check the presetting by repeatedly switching the quarter turn actuator.
