Portable Valve Actuators
MC89E/S Electric series
Instruction manual
Light, powerful and fast, modec PVAs (Portable Valve Actuators) offer improved safety and comfort for operators
and protect equipment from damage. They can be adapted to all types of handwheels, keys and valves, and have
a torque that can reach up to 1000Nm.
They come with a large number of options, adaptors and accessories so they can be assembled to best meet the
particularities of different maneuvering systems and their environment.
Although it is super light and compact, the MC89 Portable Valves Actuators is the one that offers the highest
torque (900 Nm). This makes it the perfect tool for any valve type, indoor or outdoor, with a great autonomy. Its
two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries allow to use it continuously during up to one hour. For an even more intensive
usage, use the main power connection kit that plugs on the actuator just like a battery and provides an unlimited
autonomy.
Designed for any type of operation, the MC89 comes with 2 models only that cover a 0 to 320 rpm speed range
and a 900 Nm maximum torque. No need to say that even the most stubborn valves can be operated! No worry
though, the integrated electronic torque limiter will easily prevent any damages for your valve or the tool itself.
The integrated electronic torque limiter prevents from any risk of damaging the valve or the actuator irself.
CAREFULLY READ THE OPERATING HANDBOOK BEFORE USE

Use with a Banjo head
Banjo heads enable to use the actuator on a handwheel with a rising stem. They also add a gear ratio to the
system by reducing the speed and increasing the torque by 4 for the BJH01 and by 3 for the BJH02. However,
the BJH01 cannot withstand an output torque higher than 600 Nm (440 lb.ft). As a consequence, the input
torque should not exceed 150 Nm (110 lb.ft). The BJH02 cannot withstand an output torque higher than 1000 Nm (740
lb.ft). As a consequence, the input torque should not exceed 330 Nm (240 lb.ft).
When using a Banjo head, it is essential to set the electronic torque limiter so that the input torque will not exceed 150 Nm
(110 lb.ft) for the BJH01 and 1000 Nm (740 lb.ft) for the BJH02.
Failure to observe these precautions can lead to premature aging of the banjo head and even breakage.

Instructions for use :
The battery pack is delivered partially charged. To guarantee that the battery pack provides full power, charge it completely
in the charger before using it for the first time. It can be charged at any time without reducing the battery life. Interrupting
the charging process does not damage it. The battery pack is fitted with a temperature sensor, which only permits charging
at temperatures of between 0 °C to 55 °C. This ensures a longer battery life.
The battery pack should ideally be stored in a cool (5°C to 25°C) and dry location (air humidity < 80 %). Significantly
shorter operating times after each charge indicate that the battery pack is worn and should be replaced with a new one.
Observe instructions regarding disposal.
Capacity display

6. Setting up the Portable Valve Actuator
a. General info
The actuator must be kept stable while turning the valve or handwheel.
modec Portable Valve Actuators can be used in any position.
However, to ensure the operator is working safely and in the best conditions, it is imperative that the actuator is used in
the axis of the handwheel being activated.
NB: These diagrams are made with one of the modec actuators. However, the head (flange and output shaft) being identical
on all actuators, they apply in the same way to all the actuators of the range.
b. Fixing the actuator on to the torque management device and/or on an adaptor
To ensure the operator is working safely and in optimum conditions, it is imperative to use a torque retention system.
Our actuators are delivered with:
A BR001 torque management reaction bar
A strap or a chain
2 carabiners.
In addition to this basic pack, modec also has a
wide range of torque management accessories
(see the catalogue and the following presentation
for more details).
As well as these standard accessories, modec
develops specific systems. If you would like to
check your installation or if you have a specific
solution request, contact a registered modec
distributor.
Besides this torque retention rod, it is also
possible using the “modec standard” flange and
shaft to fix the system to RA30 right-angled
models, to BJH hollow heads and all modec
torque management accessories (see
catalogue).
If the standard equipment does not provide a
torque retention that offers sufficient safety for
both operators and equipment, modec can
develop and/or adapt special torque
management systems.
Never use a portable actuator with a torque management system that is under-sized, unstable or badly
positioned.

c. Fixing the BR001 torque management arm and anchoring strap
Pull each fixation spring with the ring and rotate for a quarter turn so that they stay in the pulled position.
Place the black ring of the torque management bar on the flange so that the 6 pins enter the corresponding holes.
Make a quarter turn with the fixation springs rings and release the springs making sure they come back.
Check that the torque management bar is properly secured to the flange.

angle greater than ± 30 ° to
the perpendicular of the bar.
Except if otherwise engraved on the
torque reaction system, the maximum torque
is 1000 Nm

Original instruction notice

7. Using the actuator
a. Preliminary checks
1 –Check the equipment is in good condition and use accessories that are the most suitable for the actuator.
Make sure the torque management system and the handwheel adapter are compatible with the action about to be
carried out.
2 –Insert the battery. Set the torque limiter to minimum.
3 –Check the rotational direction required for the valve or the handwheel. Set the defined rotation direction using the
actuator’s left/right switch.
4 –Position the adaptor on the valve and set up the torque retention system. Consult the instructions for adaptors.
5 –Check the operator is correctly positioned in relation to both the actuator and the torque retention rod. When used, the
actuator (or the torque retention rod) is designed to have a tendency to move away from the operator. This way, if there is a
malfunction, the operator drops the tool safely and it will then move away from him and immediately stop.

Handwheel direction D2
6 –When starting up, always start up slowly in order to VERIFY the rotational direction, and to put tension on the torque
retention strap or chain.

b. Potential problems when actuating a valve
1 –If the actuator sounds a “beep” it means that the required torque is higher than the torque limit set. Increase
progressively the torque limit and try again.
Make sure that the torque limit set doesn’t exceed the valve maximum allowed torque
2 –If the actuator is still unable to start even with a high (or maximum) torque limit, the valve may be fully open or closed
and the selected direction of rotation may not be correct. In this case, repeat the procedure from the beginning by changing
the direction of rotation of the actuator.
Check again the direction of the torque retention.
3 –In case of resistance resulting from deposits on the stem, turn the valve in both directions several times to ‘clean’ it.
modec revolution counter (optional) enables you to always know which position the valve is in.
4 –When the closed position is reached, make sure the torque does not exceed the valve maximum allowed torque. Unless
the procedure indicates otherwise, reopen the valve with a few turns so that the accelerated fluid “cleans” any potential
impurities from the valve, then close it again at the desired torque.
5 –When the maximum open position is reached, reclose with a few turns to avoid the valve getting stuck in future. Doing
this also means that the valve is still able to turn when next actuated even if the operator turns it the wrong way, which again
helps prevent the valve being stuck.
With the MC89, for any torque setting, the closing torque (D1) will always be lower than the maximum opening torque (D2),
in order to guarantee the reopening of the valve. Use the torque limiter to keep values consistent with the effort required
and not oversized.
8. Revolution counter (option)
PRESENTATION
The digital Revolution counter adds up the
revolutions in one direction and subtracts
them in the other direction in such a way that
the operator always knows where he is in
relation to the initial set-up. The tool also
measures and shows the rotational speed.
Nota 1 : The instant speed indicator needs several revolutions before it can give a stable and regular speed. In light of this,
you have to wait several seconds to get a reliable reading.
Nota 2 : The screen turns itself off after 5 minutes.

REVOLUTION COUNTER PARAMETERS
The revolution counter is set by default for a straight or right angle head (RA30) standard output shaft (STD), without Banjo
head.
When used with a BJH banjo head (see chapter 8), the number of turns and the
output speed of the actuator will be different, so you need to select “BJH01” for a
standard duty Banjo head (speed is divided by 4) or “BJH02” for a heavy duty
Banjo head (speed is divided by 3).
If you want to set a specific ratio for
speed and count, select “SP”, then
indicate of you want to multiply (“M”)
or divide (“d”) the speed and number
of turn, and set the ratio “I=” from 1.0 to 20.0.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
Use a AA 3,6V Li-SOCL2 battery
Reposition the wires correctly before tightening the 4 screws
Use a 3mm hexagonal

General recommendations
Take note of all the work health and safety regulatory provisions that apply and any local workplace safety instructions including
conditions relating to the work environment, clothing and the operator’s individual protective equipment as required by all the
applicable regulations.
It is advisable to keep a maintenance log for all maintenance tasks carried out on the actuator.
Prevent foreign bodies from entering the system by using a clean work surface in order to protect the delicate moving parts from
being contaminated by dirt or foreign materials when assembling and dissembling, as this could cause a deterioration of the
mechanical parts.
Maintenance of the Portable Valve Actuators should be carried out by people who have been trained by modec.
Our “After Sales Service” department are ready to help in this respect.
Systematically disconnect the actuator from the power feed (battery pack or mains) before carrying out any procedure that
involves replacing, adjusting, servicing or dissembling the actuator or any of its parts.
Every time maintenance is carried out, test the actuator afterwards to check it is working correctly.
Only use approved replacement parts and follow the manufacturer’s advice with regard to lubrication and water-proofing.
