Introduction
This document provides necessary information for set-up, calibration, testing and use of the P Series quarter-turn
electric actuators stated on the cover page. Each unit is shipped from the factory with initial calibration of mechanical
stops, cams and switches completed for 0-90 degree operation. However, these are general settings and serve as
a starting point for proper calibration of the actuator in its real-world application.
Safety
Safety is a basic factor any time you maintain and operate mechanical equipment. Appropriate handling
methods and proper use of tools and personal protective equiptment (PPE) can help prevent serious accidents
which can cause injuries to you or a fellow worker. This manual was created to enable a trained user to install,
adjust and troubleshoot your ProMation actuator.
Only competent and trained personnel should install, maintain and operate ProMation actuators. Any work
related to this actuator must be carried out in accordance with this manual and related codes and regulations.
Local workplace health and safety rules must always be followed.
Duty cycle
Duty cycle is the percent of time that an actuator spends running as a fraction of the total time. Duty Cycle is
directly related to heat; excessively repositioning an actuator typically results in motor overheating which can
cause permanent damage and/or reduced service life.
Duty cycle can be calculated as follows:
(example P2 series actuator running 3 seconds ON and 30 seconds OFF)
Runtime = 3s, Total time = 3s + 30s = 33s, therefore this duty cycle would be 9% (3/33)
Additionally, ProMation P series actuators are designed for a maximum of 1200 starts per hour (one start every
3 seconds maximum).
These may be equipped with internal
torque switches (-TS) which protect
the gear train, motor and controlled
equipment from damage when high
torque conditions exist.
These protective devices are NOT
adjustable. More information on this
techology is found throughout this
manual.

• These actuators are designed to be used between a horizontal and upright
position. Do NOT mount the assembly with the actuator top below a horizontal
position.
• When installing conduit, use proper techniques for entry into the actuator. Use
drip loops to prevent conduit condensate from entering the actuator.
• Mechanical travel stops are factory calibrated for 90 degree operation. These
stops are NOT designed to adjust mechanical rotation by more than +/- 3
degrees, they are for positioning the handwheel only.
• Both NPT conduit ports MUST use proper equipment to protect the NEMA 4X
integrity of the housing.
• The internal heater is to be used in ALL applications.
• Do NOT install the actuator outdoors or in humid environments unless it is
powered up and the heater is functioning.
• Use proper wire size to prevent actuator failure (see chart on page 4 for proper
wire sizing).
• All terminals accept 12-16AWG solid/stranded wire.
Identifying Torque Switch Units:
• -TS in Product Name on label.
• Units with Torque Switches have
additional switches mounted on
the motor plate (see photo).

Torque Switches (if equipped)
For units equipped with torque switches:
Torque switches provide mechanical
overload protection for both the actuated
device and the geartrain.
These are factory set and are not
adjustable without proper equipment.
Torque switches are set to limit actuator
torque to approximately 105% of the
actuator rated output.
The wiring diagram above shows the
internal wiring connections between
the control board, the torque switches
and the motor. The upper torque switch
controls loading in the CW direction,
while the lower switch controls loading in
the CCW direction.
Wire sizing data is provided in the table to
assist in the selection of the proper wire size for
ProMation actuators using various wire sizes
over distance.
Please make sure to reference the correct
voltage and do not exceed the indicated length
of the wire run for each model.
WARNING! Do NOT adjust the
torque switch cam settings.
This will VOID the warranty.
Optional torque switch wiring (-TS) is interposed
between motor end of travel wiring and controler

Loosen Mechanical Stops
1. BEFORE power is applied, use a 17mm wrench and a 5mm hex key to
loosen the LEFT and RIGHT SIDE mechanical stops.
2. Turn the stop screws 5-6 turns CCW to allow electrical cam stop adjustment
to keep the internal stops from running into the mechanical stop screws.
3. Leave the stop screws out until controller calibration is complete.
Understanding Cam Operation
4. The lowest cam, Cam 1 controls SW1, a CW limit switch secondary to the
controller board. It will interrupt power to the board and motor if it changes
state and shows as a fault on the controller board.
5. The second cam, Cam 2 controls SW2, a CCW limit switch secondary
to the controller board. It will interrupt power to the board and motor if it
changes state and shows as a fault on the controller board.
6. The third cam, Cam 3 controls SW3, a CW (CLOSED) auxilary switch
connected to the optional outputs 7-9 of the 430-10100 Switch Card.
7. The uppermost cam, Cam 4 controls SW4, a CCW (OPEN) auxilary switch
connected to the optional outputs 10-12 of the 430-10100 Switch Card.

Adjustment Positions
This actuator has been factory calibrated to operate between 0 degrees and 90 degrees. Proportional
Controllerpositioningchangesdi󰀨erentfrom0and90degreeswilllikelyinvolvealsochangingcam
settings. If cam adjustments cause the controller board to show faults, you will need to reposition
the cam further outside your range of travel. Back out the mechanical stops before making any cam
setting change so the gear train does not strike a mechanical travel stop.
Serious Damage to the actuator will result if the motor is allowed to drive the gear train into
the mechanical stop!! Be sure the mechanical stops are out before making adjustments.

Practical Cam Considerations
8. SW1 and SW2 can be used as electrical limit switches. For
proper function their cams must be set outside (or beyond) the
CLOSE and OPEN positions of the proportional controller.
9. SW1 and SW2 do not impact initial controller calibration unless
their cams are set within controller travel limits.
10. After changing any cam settings, test the actuator limits for
proper functionality.

Cam 1
Adjust Cam 3 (SW3 -- CW auxiliary switch)
1. The THIRD cam is Cam 3, the CW auxiliary switch (SW3) cam. When the
actuator is in its CW position set this cam. Use a 2.5mm hex key to free up the
cam set screw. Once it is free, rotate the hex key to the RIGHT 10-15 degrees
to reset the switch roller arm. Then snug the set screw up against the camshaft
(CW) until slight pressure is felt. Then SLOWLY rotate the hex key and cam to
the LEFT until you hear the “click” on the third switch. Continue to rotate the
cam between 3 and 5 degrees to the LEFT to make sure the auxiliary cam
switch changes state before the actuator reaches its end of travel electrically.
Tighten the cam set screw.
Adjust Cam 4 (SW4 -- CCW auxiliary switch)
1. The FOURTH cam is Cam 4, the CCW auxiliary switch (SW4) cam. When the
actuator is in its CCW position set this cam. Use a 2.5mm hex key to free up
the cam set screw. Once it is free, rotate the hex key to the LEFT 10-15 degrees
to reset the switch roller arm. Then snug the set screw up against the camshaft
(CW) until slight pressure is felt. Then SLOWLY rotate the hex key to the RIGHT
until you hear the “click” on the fourth switch. Continue to rotate the cam between
3 and 5 degrees to the RIGHT to make sure the auxiliary cam switch changes
state before the actuator reaches its end of travel electrically. Tighten the cam set
screw.

Adjust Cam 1 (SW1 -- CW limit switch)
1. The lowest cam is Cam 1, the CW limit switch (SW1) cam. Once the actuator is
at its required CW position turn POWER OFF. Use the handwheel to drive more
CW by 1-2°. Use a 2.5mm hex key to free up the cam set screw. Once it is free,
rotate the hex key to the RIGHT 10-15 degrees to reset the switch roller arm.
Then snug the set screw up against the camshaft (CW) until slight pressure is
felt. Then SLOWLY rotate the hex key pushing the cam to the LEFT until you
hear the “click” on the bottom switch indicating that correct adjustment has been
achieved. Tighten the set screw.
2. Use the handwheel to check to be sure this is the correct CW position you require
(refer to Page 6). Repeat step 1 if further adjustment is needed.
Adjust Cam 2 (SW2 -- CCW limit switch)
1. The second cam is Cam 2, the CCW limit switch (SW2) cam. Once the actuator
is at its required CCW position turn POWER OFF. Use the handwheel to drive
more CCW by 1-2°. Use a 2.5mm hex key to free up the cam set screw. Once
it is free, rotate the hex key to the LEFT 10-15 degrees to reset the switch roller
arm. Then snug the set screw up against the camshaft (CW) until slight pressure
is felt. Then SLOWLY rotate the hex key pushing the cam to the RIGHT until you
hear the “click” on the second switch indicating that correct adjustment has been
achieved. Tighten the set screw.
2. Use the handwheel to check to be sure this is the correct CCW position you
require (refer to Page 6). Repeat step 1 if further adjustment is needed.
Listed here for reference. Mechanical stops must be out before
changing cam settings. Proceed ONLY if adjustments are required.

This procedure will assume that the actuator is installed correctly both mechanically and electrically with correct
POWER and SIGNAL, the cams are factory set 1-2° beyond 0° and 90°, and the mechanical stop screws are out.
This proportional control card has been
calibrated and tested at the factory to operate
between 0 degrees and 90 degrees operating
range.
END OF TRAVEL
• Test the travel of the actuator with the handwheel
by rotating from 0° to 90° and listen/feel for the
change of state of the limit switches. If Cams 1
and 2 are outside the desired range of travel,
skip step 2.
• Set cams per the Setting Limit Switches and
Auxiliary Switches (Cams) section:
• Cam 1 for approximately -1°.
• Cam 3 for approximately 3°.
• Cam 2 for approximately 91°.
• Cam 4 cam for approximately 87°.
The open and close end of travel cams (Cam
1 and Cam 2) must be set outside the desired
range of travel of the proportional card. If they
trip, the proportional card stops the motor and
reports a stall condition.
Connect Signal, Feedback and Power per wiring
diagram:
• Signal - (Optional) 4-20mA in uses Terminal 5
(+) and 4 (-) and 0-10V in uses Terminals 7
(+) and 5(-) on J2
• Feedback - The HR feedback option for 24AC,
120AC and 230AC is self powered. 4-20mA
out uses Terminal 6 (+) and 5 (-). 0-10V out
uses Terminals 7 (+0 and 5(-). Use a known
accurate meter to calibrate.
• Feedback - The HR-ISO option and feedback
for all 12 and 24VDC controllers utilizes loop
(external) power. THe power can come from
the board via terminal 8 or from an external
power source.
• Apply line power.
• The AUTO green LED will light.
• The Red AUX POSITION OUT LED will blink
if there is no control signal.

When the actuator is at CW position, the potentiometer
pinion gear and the camshaft sector gear should
not be past the point of engagement. If the sector
gear should have at least 2 full teeth contacting
the potentiometer pinion gear. If not, contact your
distributor for mechanical recalibration instructions.

The DC controllers are equipped with adjustable amperage limiting that
is set by the rotational potentiometer adjacent to the J7 connector. The
amperage draw on the motor is limited by the aperage setting as shown
in the inset. TThe setting should be adjusted to a reasonalb elevel above
the running current expected for the actuator and its load. When the motor
currentexceedsthetripsetting,themotoristurnedo󰀨andaCurrentTrip
fault condition is indicated.
The amperage limiter setting essentially performs the same function as
torque switches. The limiter is for the actuator motor, so other components
in the system (gears, couplings, packing, seats, etc.) also place a load on
themotor.Thee󰀨ectofthesecomponentswillvarywithtemperatureand
age. Therefore the amperage draw on the motor may vary accordingly.
The J7 Connector is used in conjuction with local control stations (LCS) or
motor control stations (MCC) for local control of the actuator. Both AC and
DC controllers contain the J7 connector

Commissioning
WARNING! Do NOT
adjust the torque
switch cam settings.
This will VOID the
warranty.
After completing all mounting and wiring procedures and main power is available, it is now possible to commission
the actuator.
1. Utilize the handwheel to rotate the actuator and damper, valve or other connected device through its full travel from
full CW to full CCW and back again to check for any possible interference. Do NOT utilize any mechanical advantage
devices to rotate the handwheel (pipes, wrenches, extension bars, etc.).
2. Manually position the actuator to its mid-stroke position.
3. Make certain the 3 wire orange plug is fully seated on the 3-pin receptacle on the switch board.
4. Apply correct power to the unit.
5. Measure correct power on terminals 1 and 2 on the switch board.
6. Measure correct power on the two heater terminals on the switch board.
7. CommandtheelddevicetogenerateaCCWsignal.TheactuatorrotatesinaCCWdirection(asviewedfromabove).
8. Actuator will stop when it reaches it’s full CCW position.
9. CommandtheelddevicetogenerateaCWsignal.TheactuatorrotatesinaCWdirection(asviewedfromabove).
10. Actuator will stop when it reaches it’s full CW position.
11. Generateamid-positionsignalattheelddevicetomovetheactuatoro󰀨itsfullCWtripposition.
12. Actuators with no -TS options are now commissioned and operational. See below for additional -TS steps.
Test Torque Switch functions
1. Generate a 4mA or 20mA control signal and let the actuator
drive towards that CW or CCW position.
2. As the motor is running, simulate a torque switch event: Depress
the top or bottom torque switch and hold it (one will immediately
stop the motor).
3. Release the torque switch.
4. Test recovery from the torque switch event.
• Move the handwheel 2° in either direction
• Signal the motor to drive.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 in the opposite direction (20mA or
4mA) to test the opposing direction torque switch functionality.

Test Torque Switch CCW Mechanical Operation
1. Rotate the manual override handwheel in a CCW direction to continue to drive the output drive in a CCW direction until
the drive system reaches the end of its MECHANICAL travel either by coming into contact with the mechanical stop
screw OR it reaches the end of the valve (or damper) travel. This is indicative of an increasing force required to rotate
the handwheel.
2. At this point the torque switch cam shaft starts to rotate in a CW direction. (There is no need to continue to rotate the
handwheel further in the CCW direction, the torque switch cam shaft would continue to rotate in the CW direction until
the LOWER cam trips the LOWER high torque switch).
3. At this point, stop rotating the handwheel as you’ve simulated reaching the electrical drive limit of the actuator under
excessively high torque situations in the CCW output drive direction.

1. Rotate the manual override handwheel in a CW direction to continue to drive the output drive in a CW direction until
the drive system reaches the end of its MECHANICAL travel either by coming into contact with the mechanical stop
screw OR it reaches the end of the valve (or damper) travel. This is indicative of an increasing force required to rotate
the handwheel.
2. At this point the torque switch cam shaft starts to rotate in a CCW direction. (There is no need to continue to rotate the
handwheel further in the CW direction, the torque switch cam shaft would continue to rotate in the CCW direction until
the UPPER cam trips the UPPER high torque switch).
3. At this point, stop rotating the handwheel as you’ve simulated reaching the electrical drive limit of the actuator under
excessively high torque situations in the CW output drive direction.
