3.1.4. Duty Cycle 1)
Duty cycle rated IEC60034 – S4 40% / S2 30 min
Exceeding the actuator’s rated duty cycle may cause thermal overload.
Note:
1) Type of duty according to VDE 0530 / IEC 60034-1
Short – time duty S2 Intermittent duty S4
The operation time at a constant load is
short, so that thermal equilibrium is not
reached. The pause is long enough for the
machine to cool down to ambient
temperature. Example, the duration of the
short –time operation is limited to 15min.
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.
Example, the relative on-time at S4-25% or S4-
50% is limited to 25% and 50% respectively.

3.1.5. 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.
3.1.6. Manual Override
HQ-006 actuators are provided with a manual system. The standard HQ-006 actuators come with a manual
override nob. This nob is located on the bottom of the unit and can be easily operated with a 5M wrench.
Turn the hand wheel until the valve reaches the required position (turn clockwise to fully open and counter-
clockwise to fully close).
3.1.7. Lubrication
HQ-006 electric actuator is a totally enclosed unit with permanent lubricated gear train (Moly EP Grease).
Once installed, further lubrication should not be required. However, periodic preventative maintenance will
extend the operating life of the actuator.

③ Adjustable setting range : (16 steps available)
Step 0~4 : increase 0.1% increment per step
(0.3 ~ 0.7 % for PCU-EB-V1.5D ac)
(0.4 ~ 0.8 % for PCU-DC-V2.1C dc)
Step 5~9 : increase 0.2% increment per step (1.0% ~ 1.8%)
Step A~F : increase 0.5% increment per step (5.0% ~ 7.5%)
Initial setting is “4”
④ If the setting value is too low, the actuator may not be found the target point and it may be
repeatedly operated in forward or reverse direction. This is called “Hunting” and the user must
appropriately adjust the deadband to avoid from the hunting.
⑤ Continuous hunting causes a failure of the actuator parts such as motor, PCU board, potentiometer
and etc.
4.6.6. Deadtime setting
① This is necessary to apply the command signal.
② It is the minimum time for maintaining the state of the input signal satisfying the deadband.
③ Actuator only accepts input signal satisfying the setting value of the deadtime as normal and
operates. It is for preventing from abnormal operation of the actuator by external disturbance such
as noise.
④ Adjustable setting range : 0.2~7.5 sec (16 steps available)
Step 0 : 0.2 sec (minimum value)
Step 1~4 : increase 0.25 sec increment per step (0.25~1 sec)
Step 5~F : increase 0.50 sec increment per step (2.5~7.5 sec)
Initial setting is “4”
4.6.7. Auto setting
① Check connection status of the input power and input/output signal after actuator and valve are
correctly assembled.
② If there is no problem with the wiring, push the auto setting button once (ASCAN).
③ Then the LED lights on the PCU board will be flickering and perform the auto setting function.
④ Auto setting details
② Blue LED will be continuously flickering.
③ Green LED will be flickering while closing and it will be ‘ON’ after fully closed.
If the actuator is already in closed position, the closing operation will be skipped.
④ Red LED will be flickering while opening and it will be ‘ON’ after fully opened.
⑤ Green LED will be flickering while closing and it will be ‘ON’ after fully closed.
