Feedback output 0÷2 kΩ - Fig. A
The factory setting is 50 Ω - 100 Ω when the stem
is fully retracted.
To change the setting, the feedback signal is
adjusted with the plastic knurled knob shown in
figure A below.
▪ Move the valve stem to the fully extended
position and adjust potentiometer until 20-40 Ω
can be read on ohmmeter (terminal 22 and 21
in the wiring diagram).
▪ Move the valve stem to the fully retracted
position and read the potentiometer value.
▪ Calculate the average resistance value.
▪ Move the valve stem to centre stroke position
and adjust the potentiometer to the calculated
average resistance value.
Auxiliary Switch settings
The auxiliary switches can be set by adjusting the
cams seen in figure B.

(see paragraph "DIP switch settings" on page 5).
The actuator control signal has a buffer zone, at
each end of the span, of 0.3 V (0.6 mA). This
ensures definite valve close-off.

Control signal failure pre-set position
(not functional with 0…20 mA control selected)
A control-signal failure on proportional models will
cause the actuator to automatically move the stem
to a (via DIP-switch) pre-selected position
(100% extended or 100% retracted).
Auto Calibration - Preset Signal Ranges
(DIP SWITCH 3 = OFF)
To change the Factory Default parameters the
control input signal parameters can be selected by
means of a DIP switch (see “DIP switch setting” on
page 5). The standard control signals are selected
by setting DIP switches 2, 3 and 4 (see “DIP
switch settings” on page 5).
It is recommended that the desired actuator control
signal and action be set before fitting to the valve.
Power must be connected before the auto-
calibration cycle can be started. The LED is
illuminated green when the power is ON.
Procedure:
Condition: Actuator already mounted on valve.
To start the auto calibration cycle push and hold
the button for at least 3 seconds (see figure C).
The LED flashes rapidly during the entire
procedure. The actuator will make one full cycle to
detect the stem extended and retracted limits. The
end stroke indicators are automatically placed at
the stroke limits. When the procedure ends, the
actuator switches back to its operating mode and
reaches the position corresponding to the input
signal value. The LED shows steady green when
the position is reached.
If the control-signal changes the actuator stem will
move to the new position. During stem movement
the LED flashes green.

Auto Calibration - Custom Signal Ranges
(DIP SWITCH 3 = ON)
(Max range limits 0…10 V DC or 0…20 mA)
Procedure:
Condition: Actuator already mounted on valve.
To start the auto calibration cycle push and hold
the button for at least 3 seconds (see figure C).
The LED flashes rapidly during the entire
procedure. The actuator will make one full cycle to
detect the stem extended and retracted limits. The
end stroke indicators are automatically placed at
the stroke limits. The actuator will make a full cycle
to detect the stem extended and retracted limits
and the end stroke indicators automatically pushed
to the stroke limits. Enter the desired signal range
while the actuator performs the auto calibration.
Enter the desired parameters as follows:
 Set the Minimum input signal (start-point),
which can be from 0…6 V DC (0…12 mA) and
confirm by pressing the button (see figure C).
 LED illuminates a steady green for 2 sec.
indicating correct entry.
 If the LED illuminates a steady yellow for 2 sec.,
an incorrect setting is indicated and must be re-
entered.
 Set the Maximum input signal, which can be
from 3…10 V DC (6…20 mA) and confirm by
pressing the button (span min. = 3 V DC or
6 mA).
 LED illuminates a steady green for 2 sec.
indicating correct entry.
 If the LED illuminates a steady yellow for 2 sec.,
an incorrect setting is indicated and must be re-
entered.
The Maximum input signal is the control span plus
the minimum input signal (start-point).
It is only possible to make one correction after
which the actuator will leave the calibration
cycle.
After making the correcting entry and confirming,
the LED will illuminate green steadily for 2 sec. to
indicate correct setting. If the LED illuminates a
steady yellow for 2 sec. this indicates that the
second entry is also erroneous and the calibration
cycle will automatically abort. To restart the auto
calibration cycle, push and hold the button for at
least 3 seconds and repeat the procedure from the
beginning.
When the procedure is finished the actuator
returns to its operating mode, reaching the position
corresponding to the input signal value, the LED
will illuminate a steady green.
If the control-signal changes the actuator stem will
move to the new position. During the stem
movement the LED flashes green.
Position feedback
The position feedback signal is 0…10 V DC or
2…10 V DC signal and could feed an external
supervisory system.

Manual override
When the crank is pushed into the hexagonal
opening power is interrupted and manual operation
is engaged. Turning the hand crank clockwise
extends the stem and counter-clockwise retracts
the stem. Pushing the hand crank down again
disengages the manual operation and reconnects
the power.

Normal operating mode
The actuator position is shown by the end stroke
indicators on the yoke.
The LED flashes green while the actuator is
moving.
The LED illuminates a steady green when the
actuator is at rest.
Actuator status indication
The actuator microprocessor carries out a failure
diagnosis when a failure has been detected. The
actuator status is indicated by the LED. When the
microprocessor detects that the stem has come to
an unexpected stop it initiates a retry cycle, this is
repeated three times and if unsuccessful the
actuator status switches to fault mode, the LED
flashes yellow and the feedback signal is no longer
reliable. If the problem is cleared actuator
continues normal function.

Actuators without built-in positioner for
controllers with PAT (Positioning Adjusting
Time) output in parallel operation
All actuators have the same nominal running
speed (rate of travel), see specifications.
The number of actuators that can be linked to a
single controller depends on the controller’s active
power in relation to the actuators power
consumption.
Actuators with built-in positioner for
controllers with 0…10V output in parallel
operation
Actuator 1 Actuator 2 Actuator 3
The controller 0…10 V output can operate several
actuators with built-in electronic positioner.
The number of actuators that can be linked to a
single controller depends on the controller’s active
power in relation to the actuators power
consumption.
Each positioner has its own adjustment for the
starting point. Each actuator can have a different
input. Each positioner can be switched for direct or
reverse action (see DIP switch on page 5)
Mounting instructions
When mounting the actuator on a valve, please
follow the instructions below:
 It is recommended that the valves be mounted
upright or at angles not greater than 90° in an
easily accessible location.
 Do not cover with insulating material.
 Sufficient clearance must be allowed for
actuator wiring and commissioning (refer to the
dimension drawings on page 10).
 The valve must be installed so that the plug
seats against the flow, as indicated by the
arrows on the valve.
Wiring instructions
 All wiring must be in accordance with local
regulations and national electrical codes and
should be carried out by authorised personnel
only.
 Make sure that the line power supply is in
accordance with the power supply specified on
the device.
 See also the instructions in paragraph
“Application”.
WARNING
Shock Hazard
 Disconnect the power supply before wiring
connections are made to prevent personal
injury.
Equipment Damage Hazard
 Make and check all wiring connections before
applying power to the system. Short circuited
or improperly connected wires may result in
permanent damage to the unit.
Note: These actuators are intended to control equipment under normal operating conditions. Where
failure or malfunction of the actuator could lead to an abnormal operating condition that could cause
personal injury or damage to the equipment or other property, other devices (limit or safety controls) or
systems (alarm or supervisory systems) intended to warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of the
actuator must be incorporated into and maintained as part of the control system.
