(2004/108/EC), provided that the cables and connectors are properly connected.
Intended Use
The AG-5-actuator can be applied to rotary type valves that require quarter-turn operation, such as 2-way or 3-
way ball valves and butterfly valves. Common applications include ventilation, heating systems, solar water
heaters, irrigation systems and industrial equipment.
Duty Cycle
The AG-5-series can be used for continuously for 30 minutes (S2 30 min according to IEC 60034-1), after this
period the actuator must cool down to ambient temperature. High loads and long operating times may reduce
the lifespan of the actuator.

Identification
The following figure shows an example of the type plate of the actuator. Observe the specifications and the
connection diagram before using the product.
Components
Figure 2: Components of the AG-5-Series Actuator.
Working conditions
It is recommended to install the actuator in a dry and ventilated environment to prevent overheating and entry
of moisture. Moreover, the ambient temperature should lie in the operating temperature range of -10 °C up to
50 °C. The actuator may only be used to control valves that require a maximum torque of 50Nm. Please note
that the operating torque strongly depends on medium type, pressure, temperature and period of standstill.
Break away torque can increase the maximum torque requirement!

Electrical wiring
Figure 5: Wiring diagram (3 point connection) for the AG-550 models. The minimally required wiring for operation is
shown in the green box.
6
AG –550 –A (100-240VAC): Connect terminal 2 to the power supply, connecting terminal 4 to the
power supply closes the actuator, connecting terminal 5 to the power supply opens the actuator.
AG –550 –B (24V AC/DC): Connect terminal 2 to the positive terminal of the power supply.
Connecting terminal 4 to the negative terminal of the power supply closes the actuator, connecting
terminal 5 to the negative terminal of the power supply opens the actuator.
Never use the piping to ground the electrical equipment.
Always connect the ground, which is provided with a residual current device at voltages above 50 volts.
7
Connect the ground to terminal 1 (Figure 5a & b).

Feedback (optional)
Always apply a load (max. 5A) in the feedback circuit to prevent permanent damage. Always apply
the correct polarity/phasing. The limit switches share a common source, do not use different power
supplies on both limit switches at the same time. Terminal 7, 8, 9 & 10 must have the exact same
polarity, voltage & frequency when both are being used.
8
AG-550-A/B: The position of the limit switches can be measured by the terminal pairs 8&10 (closed) and/or
9&10 (open).
Limit switch closed position (pair 7&10): Connect terminal 7 to a signal indicator that is connected to a
load and connect terminal 10 to the same load.
Limit switch open position (pair 9&10): Connect terminal 9 to a signal indicator that is connected to a
load and connect terminal 10 to the same load
Mounting
In order for the mechanical indicator the show the correct position of the valve, the actuator
and the valve have to be aligned. Hence, both should be either in the open or in the closed
position.
10
Align the position of the valve and the actuator. That is, open or close both the actuator and the valve
The actuator may be installed in any position, but it is recommended to install the actuator in a
vertical position, with the position indicator facing upwards. This reduces the probability of moisture
entering the actuator. When the electric ball valve is mounted at an angle, it is recommended to
deviate maximally 90° from the vertical position. Ensure that drops cannot slip along the cable and
enter the actuator. See figure 8 for a visual explanation.
The actuator can be mounted to valves with a flange according to ISO 5211 type F03, F05 or F07.
For valves with a shaft of 9x9mm or 11x11mm, an enclosed adapter can be used. The valve must be
fixed to the actuator by four bolts of M5 (type F03), M6 (type F05) or M8 (type F07).
11
Mount the actuator to the valves with the appropriate flange.
Play between actuator and valve may damage the valve or the actuator and/or reduce its
performance.
12
Remount the Terminal Block chamber cover and the housing cover with the Captive Bolts (figure 3).

Actuator Setting and Configuration
Manual override
Always disconnect the power supply before using the manual override. Do not use excessive
force when shifting the lever and lever wheel to prevent damage.
1
Shift the lever on the bottom of the actuator from “auto” to “manual” to set the actuator to manual
override, a small “wiggle” of the lever wheel might be necessary to shift the lever (Figure 9).
2
Fold the gripping rod from the lever wheel (Figure 9).
Figure 9: Manual Operation.
3
Rotate the lever wheel until the actuator has reached the desired position.
Make sure the lever wheel is disconnected from the gears when electrically operating the
actuator (lever at “auto” position).
4
When finished, shift the bottom lever back to the original position and wiggle the lever wheel
until a click is heard, this is to couple the gears to the motor. Test to see if the gear is re-coupled
to the motor by turning the lever wheel and inspecting the valve position. If the valve does not move
the gears are re-connected to the motor. Fold the gripping rod back in the lever wheel.

Limit Switch Adjustment
The limit switch cams can be adjusted to the desired angle. The standard setting is such that ball valves are
fully closed or fully opened. For special applications the cam position may be altered by loosen the locking bolt
(6), adjusting the cam to the right angle and locking the locking bolt again.
The angle may be altered only for a few (<10) degrees since the actuator has a limited range.
Disposal
The removal of the product should be performed in accordance with the applicable laws. Keep in mind the
media that are still present in the valve.
