Installation Operation& Maintenance Manual 
Doc No. : HumG-CPT-20 Rev0  Page  3 / 6  Valve Automation Leader, HKC 
1.  Introduction 
1.1. Purpose 
The purpose of  this manual is to  introduce and explain the installation, operation and maintenance of 
CPT (Current Position Transmitter) for electric actuators. Before you start work, please read this manual 
carefully  and  this  manual  contains  important  information  regarding  the  installation,  operation, 
maintenance for HQ series electric quarter turn actuator. This manual can be changed without notice for 
quality improvement. 
1.2. Safety Notices 
Safety notices in this manual outline precaution the user must take to reduce the risk of personal injury 
and damage to the equipment. The user(s) must read these instructions before the installation, operation 
or maintenance of HQ-series electric actuators. 
 
DANGER: 
Refers to personal safety and alerts the user to danger or harm. 
The hazard or unsafe practice will result in severe injury or death. 
 
WARNING: 
Refers to personal safety. Alerts the user to potential danger. 
Failure to follow warning notices could result in personal injury or death. 
 
CAUTION: 
Directs  the  user’s  attention  to  general  precautions  that,  if  not  followed,  could 
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage
. 
Notes:  Highlighted  information  is  critical  to  the  user’s  understanding  of  the  actuator’s 
installation and operation.
 
2.  Pre-check points before operation 
2.1. Check point 
2.1.1. User should confirm if actuator and valve are assembled correctly and firmly. 
2.1.2. And check limit switches, stopper bolts, indicator setting. 
2.1.3. Please check electric power, input and output signal, and wiring and etc. 
2.1.4. In case electric power is 3 phases, you must check Rotating direction of actuator. 
2.1.5. How to check rotating direction  
① Place actuator at the position 50% by manual first, and supply electric power for about 5 seconds 
toward “Close” from panel.  
② Then, you will understand actuator is operating in correct or opposite direction. If it turns to 
“Open” direction, cut the power, and change two wires of the three of 3 phases. 
 
3.   General concept 
3.1. General information 
As a potentiometer reads actuator’s current position and transfers resistance value to CPT card. 
And it indicates actuator position throughout the stroke by 4~20 mA output signal. 
3.2. Standard specification 
Position conversion accuracy
It could be different based on installation and/or operation 
condition. 
minute (input and output power to ground)
Frequency : 0.2~34 Hz, within 30 minutes
