3.2 Functional description
The electromotive actuator Aktor M 24V for Cocon QTR/
QFC is used for the finely graduated stroke adjustment of
Cocon QTR/QFC valves in nominal sizes DN40 to DN100
with a positioning force of 1000N.
The actuator can be controlled with a modulating signal as
well as with floating and on/off signals.
The actuator has self-adjusting position markers for stroke
indication.The position indication is realised by a sliding
bridge within the position markers.
For valve monitoring, an automatic valve blocking
monitoring with elimination programme is integrated.
The operating mode selector switch can be used to switch
the actuator to manual mode.
3.2.1 Automatic blocking logarithm with fault
message
If a blockage occurs within the valve stroke due to foreign
bodies in the pipeline, the actuator signals this fault by
means of a feedback signal.
Setting Feedback signal
V (DIP B = ON) The actuator signals the fault
with a feedback signal of .V
mA (DIP B = OFF) The actuator signals the fault
with a feedback signal of mA.
By means of an automatic elimination logarithm, the
actuator then tries to eliminate the blockage several times
on its own by lifting the valve plug for a short time.
3.2.2 Switchable end position hysteresis
The end position hysteresis is the point at which the
actuator moves to the end position.
For the hysteresis, the values 0.5V (1mA) or 0.2V
(0.4mA) are set via DIP switch A1.
Example: With hysteresis 0.5 V, the end position is moved
at Yin <0.5V and >9.5V. In this case, the feedback is a
signal of 0V or 10V.
3.2.3 Feedback
The feedback can be inverted separately from the Yin via
DIP switch B4.The output of the feedback can be
switched between absolute and relative position via DIP
switch A2.The signal is output in 2..10V or 4..20mA when
DIP switch B5 is in ON position.
3.2.4 Actuator heating
The actuator heating is used to prevent condensation at
low temperatures.
The function is activated via DIP switch A3.
3.2.5 Priority switch
The priority switch is a direct control and superimposes
the modulating Y input signal for a valve position Open or
Closed on terminals 2 or 3 (e.g. frost protection or
limitation).
3.2.6 Valve blocking protection
If the system conditions permit, the valve blocking
protection can be activated during commissioning.
The valve blocking protection prevents the plug from
getting stuck when the valve is at a standstill for a longer
period of time during summer break in heating systems.
When the valve blocking function is activated, the valve
plug is lifted for a few seconds if there has been no stroke
movement within 21 days.
This functionality can be activated via DIP switch B1.

Technical description
3.2.7 Safety end position / resynchronisation
of the end position
Operating mode Behaviour
Modulating control /
Automatic mode
After a voltage reset, after the
end of manual mode (Stop) or
after the end of manual
adjustment via the magnetic
contact, the end position is
resynchronised by moving to
the safety end position.
On/off or floating
control / Automatic
mode
After finishing the manual
adjustment via the magnetic
contact, the end position is
resynchronised by moving to
the current end position again.
Manual mode (Open/
Closed) or priority
switch (Open/Closed)
After termination of the manual
adjustment via the magnetic
contact or after a voltage reset,
the end position is
resynchronised by moving to
the current end position again.
The direction of the safety end position can be set via DIP
switch B6.
In addition, the safety end position is approached in case
of a detected wire breakage (see wire breakage detection).
In this case, the feedback via Yout is a signal of approx.
12.5V or 0mA, depending on the position of DIP switch
B2.
3.2.8 Dynamic Yin damping / Balancing
external disturbances
To prevent the actuator from oscillating when external
disturbances are coupled to the control line Y, the input
hysteresis band is automatically increased.
If the fault no longer occurs, the hysteresis is reset to
minimum values.This function largely prevents external
disturbances and avoids unnecessary temperature
fluctuations and wear on the actuator and valve.
3.2.9 Wire breakage detection
To use this function, the setting range must be set to
2..10V or 4..20mA (DIP switch B5).
With in input signal in modulating mode of <2V or 4mA,
the actuator moves to the safety position.
In this case, the feedback via Yout takes place with a signal
of approx. 12.5V or 0mA.

6.2 Functional test
In the standard setting, the actuator switches to manual
mode when the cover is removed.
 Set DIP switch A4 to ON to be able to perform a
functional test without cover.
 Establish the power supply.
ZThe LED (position
3 in Fig. 3 on page 9) flashes
green.
ZThe actuator performs an initialisation run to adapt to
the valve stroke.
The valve is fully opened and closed once. In this case,
the feedback via Yout takes place with a signal of
approx. 12.5V or 0mA.
ZThe completed initialisation is indicated by a steady
light.
 Set DIP switch A4 to OFF to reactivate the function of
the cover's magnetic switch.
 Put the cover on and tighten the screws.
ZThe actuator is ready for operation.

6.3 Initialisation run
After remounting or after changing the setting of the
maximum flow rate on the valve, a new valve adaptation
must be carried out by reinitialisation.
fSwitch DIP switch A5 back and forth (change switch
position).
ZThe actuator performs a re-initialisation.

Troubleshooting
8. Troubleshooting
CAUTION
Risk of burns on hot surfaces or danger of
hypothermia on cold surfaces!
If there is a hardware or software error, an
unexpected positioning movement and opening of
the valve may occur. Severe burns or hypothermia
are possible when coming into contact with hot or
cold surfaces on valves and pipelines.
!
Before starting work,wait until the valve
has approximately reached the ambient
temperature.
!
Wear suitable protective clothing to avoid
unprotected contact with hot fittings or system
components.

FAULT CAUSE REMEDY
The actuator does not move, the
LED is off
Mains failure Restore the power supply.
The actuator is connected incorrectly Check and correct the cabling.
Short circuit due to incorrect
connection
Check and correct the cabling.
The main board is defective Contact your specialist dealer.
The actuator does not move, the
LED lights up green + the LED
flashes red
The actuator is in manual mode Trigger an initialisation or set the jumper
between  and M
The actuator moves unstably Voltage failure due to too long
electrical connection cable and/or too
small a cross-section
Measure the operating voltage. Recalculate
and replace electrical connection cables.
The mains fluctuations are greater
than the permissible tolerance
Improve the grid conditions.
The actuator temporarily stops The supply cable has a loose contact Check and tighten the connections on the
terminal strip.
The actuator does not move or
does not move correctly to the
valve position specified by the
input signal, the valve does not
close or open
The valve is stuck Ensure a smooth-running valve or replace
the valve.
The valve is stuck Ensure a smooth-running valve or replace

CAUTION
Risk of burns on hot components!
Touching hot components can cause burns.
!
Make sure that there is no differential pressure
in the valve body. If necessary, close the gate
valves and switch off the pumps.
!
Allow the valve to cool down before working on
it.
