POINTS OF CAUTION
■POWER INPUT RATING & OPERATIONAL RANGE
• Locate the power input rating marked on the product and
confirm its operational range as indicated below:
24V DC: 24V rating ±10%, approx. 1 A
■HUNTING
• Hunting is a condition in which the output stem is os-
cillated repeatedly and persistently without settling at a
single position.
• The actuator unit must operate at an average duty cycle
of 50% (approx. 13 strokes per minute) or less.
■GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
• Remove the power supply to the actuator before wiring
the unit.
• DO NOT install signal wires and power supply wires to-
gether in one duct because it may cause a malfunction
due to induction noises. Alternatively, use shielded cables
for the input signal wires to prevent interference from
such noises.
• If input signals are to be turned on/off with power sup-
plied to the actuator, be sure to specify the output stem
operation for when abnormally low input is detected.
• DO NOT loosen the screws fixing the potentiometer in-
side the unit.
■INSTALLATION
• Indoor, or outdoor where the unit is NOT exposed to di-
rect sunlight.
• Operating temperature -15 to +66°C (5 to 150.8°F)
• Operating humidity 30 to 90% RH (non-condensing)
• The unit is not designed to withstand all vibrations.
M-System does not guarantee long-term use of the unit
even with small vibrations. Please use the unit only after
evaluating in an actual installation environment. Par-
ticularly, avoid using under the condition where valve
cavitation or water hammer is likely to occur.
• Install the unit where it can be reached for maintenance
and inspection. Be sure to allow at least 20 cm (7.9 inch-
es) clearance above the unit and around the terminal box.
• Keep away from hazardous atmosphere such as explosive
or corrosive gases.

■PID CONTROL SIGNAL
• Choose PID parameters carefully so that the MV remains
as stable as possible to prevent hunting. Unstable control
shortens the life of actuator and valve.
■TRANSPARENT COVER FOR TERMINAL BOX
• When reattaching the transparent cover after wiring,
make sure that the packing and O ring are securely in
place.
■SCREW TORQUE
• The torque for tightening screws for the transparent cov-
er is between 1.2 – 2 N·m (0.89 – 1.5 ft·lbf). The screws
must be tightened evenly and crosswise in several steps
to prevent uneven clamping.
■YOKE DESIGN
• When a foreign object is caught in the valve, an excessive
torque may be applied to the yoke. Taking it into account,
design the yoke and joint so as to have sufficient margin
in strength.
• When this unit is used in an application such as temper-
ature control of a steam line, the temperature can rise
higher than the ambient temperature due to heat con-
ducted through or radiated from the piping. Use a longer
yoke for effective heat dissipation and apply insulation
material.
■HEATER FUNCTION AT LOW TEMPERATURE
• Apply power voltage when the temperature is 0°C or un-
der. Sensor inside the unit is activated at 0°C or under,
and stepping motor starts heater function.
• A heater is incorporated to use under cold areas.
• Thermostat is incorporated to automatically heat when
27°C (±5°C) (80.6°F (±9°F) or lower, and automatically
stop heating when 39°C (±4°C) (102.2°F (±7.2°F)) or high-
er.
• Be sure to apply power voltage even when the MSP is
unused.
Note. Storage temperature (-29 to 70°C (-20.2 to +158°F))
is for before piping. Once the MSP is piped, the temper-
ature must be in the range of operation temperature.
When using the MSP at the first time in -15°C (5°F), ap-
ply the power voltage and take 30 minutes of hold time
before using the MSP.
■COVER
• No need to remove the cover. All wiring, adjustments,
indicator LEDs are in the terminal BOX. Remove the
transparent cover to work.
• The quality inside the mechanism is stabilized by not re-
moving the cover.

COMBINATION WITH VALVE
■OPERATION DISTANCE WHEN COMBINED WITH VALVE
When setting the upper-stop position and the lower-stop position, it is preferable that the operation distance becomes 80%
or less with respect to the maximum stroke of the actuator.
That is, when the valve is closed at the lower-end side of the actuator, if the maximum stroke is 20 mm and the lower-stop
position is set at the 20.0 mm position, there will be no margin for the actuator to further go down to close the valve when
valve leakage occurs. In such a case, Auto-setup may not be successfully completed.
In order to avoid such a situation, select an appropriate combination of an actuator and a valve to secure an enough opera-
tion distance. In the example below, the maximum stroke is 20 mm and thus the preferable operation distance is 16.0 mm.
Set so that the distance between the upper-stop position and the lower-stop position are within the operation distance of
16.0 mm.
■EXAMPLE OF PROPER OPERATION DISTANCE
When connecting the output stem of the actuator with the valve stem, determine their mounting position so that a proper
operation distance can be secured.

AUTO-SETUP MODE
Auto-setup is the function for automatically detecting the valve seat surface on the lower-end side and/or the upper-end side
and determining the lower-stop position and the upper-stop position of the actuator.
Alternatively, by specifying the stroke length, the upper-stop or lower-stop position can be set to, for example, 13.00 mm up-
ward/downward from the seated position.
The contraction of the seal spring in length on the lower-end side or the upper-end side is configured within the range of 0.1
mm to 1.2 mm in 0.1 mm increments.
Note that the ex-factory settings (e.g. Auto-setup type=0; Seal spring contraction= 0.1 mm; if not specified when ordering) can
be changed on PU-2x or via Modbus.
Refer to 13.9 Setting/executing Auto-setup on page 17 for parameter items to configure.
■HOW TO EXECUTE AUTO-SETUP
1) Turn ON SW1-8 to switch from Automatic Operation mode to Manual Operation mode.
2) Manipulate Manual operation buttons to move the actuator to an intermediate position.
Specifically, press [DOWN/CW] or [UP/CCW] button to move the output stem about 2 mm (allowable if 1 to 4 mm) down-
ward or upward toward the middle position from the upper-end or the lower-end.
Note that the stem moves differently depending on whether SW1-4 is ON or OFF (factory-set to OFF).
Refer to the table in the section “1.9. Setting/executing Auto-setup” for details.
3) Start Auto-setup by following operation.
- Turn SW1-7 ON to OFF
- Click start button of auto-setup on the PC configurator software.
- Enter a start command to the unit on PU-2x (ITEM=54, DATA=1, Enter)
4) Auto-setup is performed.
AUTO-SETUP LED blinks at 1 Hz while Auto-setup is in process.
Specific steps according to the Auto-setup type are as described in the table below.
5) Confirm that Auto-setup has been successfully completed (AUTO SETUP LED blinks at 5 Hz for 3 seconds).
Turn OFF SW1-8 to end Auto-setup mode and switch back to Automatic Operation mode.
Note that the actuator immediately starts to operate in accordance with a value of input signal.
DO NOT touch the output stem and its vicinity, as it may cause serious injury to your hand or finger.
6) When Auto-setup has failed (ALARM LED blinks at 5 Hz), clear error by any of the following methods, then revise the
settings.
• Turn ON and OFF SW1-7
• Enter a clear error command on PU-2x (ITEM=54, DATA=2, Enter) or via Modbus.
• Turn OFF and ON the power supply to the actuator unit.
■PROCESS STEPS OF AUTO-SETUP ACCORDING TO AUTO-SETUP TYPE
• The Auto-setup type can be selected on PU-2x or via Modbus communication.
AUTO-SETUP TYPE STEPS OF AUTO-SETUP
0: Lower seal spring 1) The stem goes up until the valve contacts the seat surface or reaches the upper-end.
2) The output stem goes down until the valve contacts the seat surface.
(Auto-setup is interrupted if the valve reaches the lower-end before it contacts the seat surface.)
3) The stem further compresses the seal spring downward from the seated position by the set
amount.
If no error occurs, the positions reached in step 2) and step 4) are saved as the upper-stop posi-
tion and the lower-stop position, respectively.

■AUTO-SETUP OPERATION DESCRIPTION
• Turn SW-8 to ON to switch from Automatic Operation mode to Manual Operation mode.
(If SW-8 is kept OFF, control by input signal takes priority over Manual operation.
Turn ON to enable the Auto-setup by Manual operation.)
• Press UP/CCW / DOWN/CW button slightly to move the output stem upward/downward.
Stop pressing the button to stop the output stem at the position.
Press the button to move the output stem approx. 2 mm in the middle direction from upper/lower-end side (The moving
distance is no problem with approximate).
• Turn SW-7 ON and OFF to move to Auto-setup mode. The MSP starts determining the stop position with following proce-
dure automatically.
Check the output stem visually as well.
E.g. The valve closes on downward.
1) The output stem automatically moves downward and stops on the valve seat surface.
2) The output stem automatically moves upward and stops at the position of initial setting.
3) Contracts 0.1 mm from seat surface of valve seal surface (contraction can be changed by the PC configurator software).
4) Recognizes the total distance of downward seat position (include contraction) and initial position of upper-end as 100%,
and completes Auto-setup.
5) Turn SW-8 to OFF to switch to Automatic Operation mode. The output stem moves to the position of the signal, if the
input signal is applied. DO NOT touch the output stem and around to not to stuff your fingers and hands.
• Contraction is set to “0.1 mm” for initial.
This can be changed by the PC configurator software or PU-2x with the range of 0.1 to 1.2 mm by 0.1 mm.
• Full-closed position can be adjusted by the UP/CCW / DOWN/CW button (operation distance fine adjustment).
Use to re-adjust the closing position by moving the output stem downward from Auto- setup position to stop leaking.
Turn SW-8 from OFF to ON to enable manual operation (If SW-8 is kept OFF, control by input signal takes priority over
Manual operation).
Adjust the position of the output stem by UP/CCW / DOWN/CW button.
Perform the following procedure after position adjustment.
<After completion of lower-end position adjustment>
Turn SW1-5 OFF -> ON -> OFF to set lower-end position newly.
<After completion of upper-end position adjustment>
Turn SW1-6 OFF -> ON -> OFF to set upper-end position newly.

■MODBUS COMMANDS
FUNCTION COMMAND DESCRIPTION
03 Read Holding Registers Reads the value(s) of a single or multiple holding registers.
04 Read Input Registers Reads the value(s) of a single or multiple input registers.
06 Preset Single Register Presets a value in a single holding register.
16 Preset Multiple Registers Presets values in respective multiple holding registers.
It is recommended to set timeout for response to 0.5 sec. or longer.
‘0’ is returned when an address to which no register is assigned is read.
An exception response is returned when attempting to write to an address which is not writable.
Even if the address is writable, make sure to set [Modbus Operation mode (address 111)] in advance to enable writing.
■ADDRESS MAP
Refer to “PARAMETER ITEMS COMMON TO MODBUS, CONFIGURATOR SOFTWARE AND PU-2x” for Modbus address
map.
■DATA VALUE
When [Value Range] of the data is specified as numbers with one digit after the decimal point, the data is multiplied by 10
and handled as an integer. That is, ‘25.8’ is handled as ‘258’, for example.
When the Data type is ‘I16’, data is an integer between -32768 to 32767, and when the Data type is ‘I32’, data is a long 32-bit
integer between -2147483648 to 214783647.
Long data is in little endian format.
■POSITION SETPOINT INPUT VIA MODBUS
The position setpoint can be input via Modbus communication by the following procedure.
1) Set [Input mode (Modbus=address 124, PU-2x= ITEM 63)] as ‘Modbus input’.
2) Write a position setpoint value (e.g. ‘700’ for 70.0 %) to Address 101.
3) Write ‘1’ to Address 111 to enable Modbus input, thereby moving the output stem toward the setpoint.
Note)
• When a motor deadlock error occurs, ‘1’ or ‘2’ is set in Address 48.
Write ‘1’ to Address 57 to clear the error.
• When [Modbus disconnection detection time (Modbus=address 125, PU-2x= ITEM 64)] is set, a Modbus disconnection error
is detected when a Modbus command is not issued for the set time period, thereby causing the output stem to stop, extend
(move downward), or retract (move upward) according to the settings of DIP switches 1-1 and 1-2 of the unit.
• Refer also to “COMBINATION OF OPERATION MODE AND SPECIFICATIONS”.

■Description about basic setting
• Uppoe/lower-stop position
Set the output stem position at 100%/0% input.
• Deadband
Set the deadband width with the stroke at the set upper/lower-stop position as 100%.
• Restart limiting timer
To prevent the overheat of the motor, set an interval to restart when the motor stops on the deadband.
Using in a high-temperature atmosphere, set a longer restart limiting timer.
• Retract/UP / Extend/DOWN signal position
Set the threshold at which the retract/UP / extend/DOWN signal is turned ON with the stroke at the set upper/lower-stop
position as 100%.
• Operation speed
Set the operation speed on a scale of 1 to 10. The higher the number, the faster the speed.
Operation speed at the shipment is set as following by the code.
Even operation speed is the same, the actual operation time is different when the hardware division is different.
