Promation Engineering P1 A P Series User manual

Field Manual
P1.A..P Series
Proportional Control
ISO5211 F07 8P17
The following procedure is to be followed for set-up, calibration, testing and use of the P1 Series Proportional Control
quarter-turn electric actuators. Each unit is shipped from the factory with initial calibration of cams and switches completed.
However, these are general settings and serve as a starting point for proper calibration of the actuator in its’ real-world
application. Note: The P1.A actuator out put shaft drives CW to close (as viewed from above). However, the indicator shaft
turns CW to open (as viewed from above). This design utilizes NO MECHANICAL stops.
Determine if any adjustments are required BEFORE making any changes to cams or controller settings. Make the power
and control connections per the wiring diagram on page 2. Apply power to the actuator and wait 20 seconds for the
controller to power up.
The proportional control card has been calibrated and tested at the factory to provide full scale response between
0 degrees and 90 degrees operating range. Typically all that is required is a power supply and a control signal to
initialize and put the actuator into service with no need for any adjustments.
Important Note:
THIS ACTUATOR MUST HAVE THE EMT FITTINGS WATER TIGHT WITH CONDUIT DRAINAGE INSTALLED A N D
POWER SUPPLIED TO UNIT TO KEEP THE HEATER WARM AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION .
lThis unit should NOT be stored outside unless it is powered up.
l When this unit is NOT powered up, it should be stored in a clean, dry environment at all times.
Conventions used in this manual:
1. All references to rotation are as viewed from ABOVE the actuator.
The default settings in the controller are as follows:
1. Input/Output Signal: 4-20mA (unless otherwise specified at time of Factory order)
2. Signal Response: Direct Acting (max signal = OPEN)
3. Loss of Signal: Fail in Position

3. Make the electrical connections as shown below. Connect HOT and NEUTRAL to terminals 5 & 4 respectively.
Connect a pair of control wires to the control card terminals marked 6 (COM) and 7 (+IN). The positive wire MUST
connect to terminal 7, otherwise the controller will not function. Optionally, a pair of wires may be connected to terminals
11 (COM) and 12 (+OUT) for remote position indication. Terminals A-F are for the (adjustable) aux switches.
Do NOT apply power at this time.
Connections and Settings-
This actuator has been factory calibrated to operate between 00and 900. Most quarter-turn products will not require
recalibration of these settings. Actuator is shipped in the fully CW position. Driving OPEN will rotate the actuator
CCW (as viewed from above). If no adjustments are necessary, proceed to page 5 “Application Notes”. Otherwise,
proceed to step 5 for the recalibration procedure.

2. Remove the four screws from the BOTTOM
of the enclosure casting to facilitate the
removal of the cover and spacer casting. This
will allow easier access to the control wiring
and cam adjustments as needed.
1. The actuator is shipped from the factory in
its fully CLOSED position. This can be verified
by viewing the indicator on the TOP of the
actuator. Red is CLOSED, Yellow is OPEN.

6. Place hex wrench in the top #4 cam set screw, loosen and move
cam back counterclockwise and then clockwise into the switch until the
switch “clicks”. Then move 1 degree further into the switch and snug
up on the set screw. This will assure the aux switch will “trip” before
the actuator reaches it’s end of travel.
7. Apply Power to the actuator and generate a MAXIMUM position
control signal (as set with the DIP switch selection above). The actuator
will drive to its full CCW position and stop. If the STOP position is not
calibrated properly (valve/damper not fully OPEN or CLOSED), the
stop cam will need to be adjusted as follows:
Remove power from the actuator. Insert a 2.5mm hex key
into the #1 cam and loosen the setscrew. Rotate the cam clockwise
to make the actuator drive further OPEN (later), or rotate the cam
counterclockwise to have the actuator stop sooner. Make only SMALL
adjustments each move. Reapply power and check the new setting.
Snug up on the set screw when adjustment is correct.
5. Apply Power to the actuator and generate a MINIMUM position
control signal (as set with the DIP switch selection above). The
actuator will drive to its full CW position and stop. If the STOP position
is not calibrated properly (valve/damper not fully OPEN or CLOSED),
the stop cam will need to be adjusted as follows:
Remove power from the actuator. Insert a 2.5mm hex key into
the #2 cam and loosen the setscrew. Rotate the cam counterclockwise
to make the actuator drive further CLOSED (later), or rotate the
cam clockwise to have the actuator stop sooner. Make only SMALL
adjustments each move. Reapply power and check the new setting.
Snug up on the set screw when adjustment is correct.

4. With the power OFF, set the 8 position DIP switch for proper
operation.
For 4-20mA Input, 1 is ON, 2 is OFF (default)

For 2-10vdc INput, 1 is OFF, 2 is ON
For 4-20mA Feedback, 3 is OFF, 4 is ON, 5 is OFF (default)
For 2-10vdc Feedback, 3 is ON, 4 is OFF, 5 is ON
For Direct Acting (5v/10v/20mA = OPEN) 6 is OFF (default)
For Reverse Arcing (5v/10v/20mA = CLOSED) 6 is ON

10. Now generate a MAXIMUM position control signal to drive the
actuator to the fully OPEN position (direct acting mode). Attach a DMM
to terminals 11 (-), and 12 (+) and set to match the DIP switch setting in
step 4 (above). Adjust trimmer VR51 to achieve 20.0mA or 10.0vdc.
11. Generate a MINIMUM position control signal to drive the actuator
to the fully CLOSED position (direct acting mode). Adjust trimmer VR2
first clockwise 3~ 6 turns or 3 ~ 6 turns counterclockwise until the RED
LED just comes on and stays on.
12. Now generate a MAXIMUM position control signal to drive the
actuator to the fully OPEN position (direct acting mode). Adjust trimmer
VR1 first counterclockwise 3~ 6 turns or 3 ~ 6 turns clockwise until the
GREEN LED just comes on and stays on.
Calibration is now complete. Reattach mid position spacer ring, 4
bottom screws and finally the top cover.
9. Apply power to the actuator and generate a MINIMUM position
control signal to drive the actuator to the fully CLOSED position (direct
acting mode). Attach a DMM to terminals 11 (-), and 12 (+) and set to
match the DIP switch setting in step 4 (above). Adjust trimmer VR52
to achieve 4.0mA or 2.0vdc.

8. Place hex wrench in the #3 cam set screw, loosen and move cam
back clockwise and then counterclockwise into the switch until the
switch “clicks”. Then move 1 degree further into the switch and snug
up on the set screw. This will assure the aux switch will “trip” before
the actuator reaches it’s end of travel.

Application Notes:
1. These actuators are designed to be used in either a horizontal or upright position.
Do NOT mount the actuator with the top below a horizontal position.
2. When installing conduit, use proper techniques for entry into the actuator. Use drip loops to prevent conduit condensate from entering the
actuator.
3. Both NPT conduit ports MUST use proper equipment to protect the NEMA 4x integrity of the housing.
4. The internal heater is to be used in ALL applications.
5. Do NOT install the actuator outdoors or in humid environments unless it is powered up and the heater is functioning.
6. Use proper wire size to prevent actuator failure (see chart below for proper wire sizing).
Wire sizing data is provided in the table below to assist in the selection
of the proper wire size for ProMation P1.A series 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.

at the factory and should NOT be changed. The INCLUDED auxiliary
switches SW3 & SW4 are for terminals A thru F and those setpoints may
be modified if need be.
