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 clothes can help prevent serious accidents -- 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 should 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).

Operation of Relay to Close
(-RC ) Actuator
This unit is designed to drive FULLY
CLOSED (CW) when power is applied
to switchcard terminal 4. When power
is removed from terminal 4, the unit will
drive FULLY OPEN (CCW). The unit will
not stop in midtravel unless power is
removed from terminals 1 & 2.

FM_P213 HV N4-RC-RO_Ver C 053117
1. This actuator is shipped in the FULLY CW position (2 color position indicator shows
“CLOSE” and the Reference Dimple aligns with “0”). (The “1” mark is the FULLY
CCW position).
2. CONDUIT DEVICES MUST COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL
CODES FOR HAZARDOUS LOCATIONS.
LES DISPOSITIFS DE CONDUIT DOIVENT ÊTRE CONFORMÉS
DE TOUS LES CODES ÉLECTRIQUES APPLICABLES POUR
LOCATIONS DANGEREUSES.
3. Storage: This unit should NOT be stored outside unless it is powered up and
has proper conduit terminations. When NOT powered up, it should be stored
in a clean, dry environment at all times.
4. This actuator has been factory calibrated to operate between 0 degrees and
90 degrees. Most quarter-turn products will not require recalibration of these
settings. Check alignment of actuator and driven device. If any travel adjustment is necessary, please refer to pages
7-9 for instructions.
1. Fully CLOSE the valve or damper to which the actuator is to be mounted.
• Keep in mind this actuator rotates CW (as viewed from above the unit) when driving CLOSED.
2. Assemble necessary linkage components and attach the actuator to the driven device.
3. Tighten mounting bolts, making sure actuator is centered on the device drive shaft.
4. Utilize the handwheel to check for unobstructed manual operation from fully CCW to fully CW positions BEFORE
applying power to the unit.
5. Torque Switches (2), if so equipped, are factory set and are NOT adjustable.
6. Make the electrical connections per wiring diagram on page 5 or 6 depending on your model.
• Connect POWER AND CONTROL to terminals marked 1, 2, 4, and 6.
• Terminals 7-12 on the switch card (430-10100) are for the (adjustable) aux switches. They are dry type Form C
rated 10A @ 250vac MAX.
7. Follow all rules and regulations for installing electrical equipment per applicable electrical code.
8. Do NOT apply power at this time.
• 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 rated 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 5 or 6 for proper wire sizing for your model).
• All terminals accept 12-16AWG solid/stranded wire.
• Do NOT parallel wire multiple actuators together without utilizing isolation relays! Contact ProMation
Engineering for a multiple actuator parallel wiring diagram.

CW Mechanical Stop
Loosen Mechanical Stop
1. BEFORE power is applied, use a 17mm wrench and a 5mm hex key
to loosen the RIGHT SIDE mechanical stop. This is the CW stop limit
adjustment. Turn the stop screw 5-6 turns CCW to allow electrical cam
stop adjustment without running into the mechanical stop screw.
2. Use the manual hand wheel to position the actuator to your required
CW position. This must be within +/- 3 degrees of the factory setting.
Adjust Cam 1
3. The lower cam is Cam 1, the CW end-of-travel adjustment. Once
the actuator is at its required CW position, with POWER OFF, 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.
4. Apply power to the actuator and drive CCW at least 15-20 degrees.
Then drive the actuator CW until the cam stops the electrical travel.
Check to be sure this is the correct CW position you require. Repeat
step 3 if further adjustment is needed.
Tighten Mechanical Stop
5. While holding the 17mm wrench on the RIGHT SIDE jam nut to prevent
the jam nut from locking, turn the 5mm hex key CW until the end of
the stop screw bottoms out against the internal stop boss. Then turn
the hex key ONE FULL TURN CCW before locking that adjustment
with the jam nut. This procedure assures that the actuator reaches
its end of travel electrically before there is any interference from the
mechanical stop.
6. This completes the CW position calibration.
The mechanical stop screw limits handwheel operation ONLY and is NOT to be used as
an electrical travel limiting device.

3. The second cam is Cam 2, the CCW end-of-travel adjustment. Once
the actuator is at its required CCW position, with POWER OFF, 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

Adjust Cam 3
1. The THIRD cam is Cam 3, the CW auxiliary switch adjustment.
Drive the actuator to its CW position. Then 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
1. The FOURTH cam is Cam 4, the CCW auxiliary switch adjustment.
Drive the actuator to its CCW position. Then 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
