1. Product description
The type PSF-**0*.*-*-Ex actuator is an industrial, multifunctional modulating actuator with fail-safe function for
the operation of industrial valves of various types across a wide range of applications. The actuator is designed
for assembly with valves and their motor operation.
It is used as an electric valve actuator in hazardous areas of
Ex zone 1, Ex d e, device protection level Gb or
Ex zone 21, device protection level Db installed in a fixed position using mounting columns.
An operating status (LED in Ex d motor assembly housing) can be displayed through an inspection glass in the
hood. The actuator can be operated by 2 push buttons in the cover (the micro switches for this are likewise
located in the Ex d housing).
Programming of the control (DIP switches) is possible in the safe range or in a voltage-free state. For this
purpose, the hood is detached and the fastening screws in the Ex d housing are removed.
To protect against environmental influences, the cover and lower section are powder-coated.
Conduit entries are available in the lower section of the housing for inserting the electrical cables.
The construction, as well as the interaction of the individual components and the housing regarding their
suitability for use in hazardous areas, are tested by PS Automation GmbH and confirmed by the identification
with the type label.
The type PSF-**0*.*-*-Ex actuator essentially consists of:
- the two mounting columns
- the drive shaft and
- the housing section
- the mechanical section (multi-stage spur gear) is located in the lower section of the housing (mounting plate)
- the Ex e/t terminal compartment is located in the upper section of the housing (underneath the cover hood),
this is formed by the hood and the upper side of the lower housing section (mounting plate)
- with conduit entries
- with connection panel for the electrical connections (electrical connection compartment)
- with Ed d motor control housing

4. Symbols used and safety
General dangers in case of non-observance of the safety instructions
The PSF-M-Ex actuators are built according to the latest state of the art and are operationally safe. Nevertheless,
hazards can arise from the actuators if they are not used by trained or at least instructed personnel and/or are used
improperly or for purposes other than those for which they are intended.
This threatens, for example
•Danger to life and limb of the user or third parties,
•Dangers to the user's property,
•Impairment of safety and function of the actuator.
It must be ensured that every person in charge of the installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance and
repair of the actuators has read and understood these operating instructions and this chapter in particular.
Safety-conscious work
•The actuators may only be operated by trained and authorised operating personnel.
•The safety instructions listed in this manual, the existing national regulations for accident prevention, as well as
any internal working, operating and safety instructions of the operator must be observed.
•The isolating procedures specified in the operating instructions must be observed for all work such as
installation, commissioning, set-up, operation, changes in operating conditions and operating methods as well
as maintenance, inspection and repair.
•Before working on potentially live areas, ensure that they are free of voltage.
•Observe IEC 60079-14 when installing the actuators.
•It must be ensured that the actuators are always operated in perfect condition. Externally visible damage and
defects, as well as changes in the operating behaviour which may affect safety, must be reported immediately.

observed.
•When upgrading and operating the actuator with PS accessories, the operating instructions available for them
must be observed.
•Connections for the signal inputs and outputs are separated from the circuits that are dangerous to touch by
double insulation.
5. Intended use
•The type PSF-M-EX actuator is a fixed installed device for use in Ex zone 1, 2, 21 or 22. The type PSF-M-EX
actuator is not suitable for use in Zone 0 and Zone 20.
•The electrical data shown on the type plate as well as the device category for the place of use must be observed.
•The operator of an electrical system in a potentially explosive environment must keep the equipment in proper
condition, operate it properly, monitor it and carry out maintenance and repair work.
See also IEC 60079-17/IEC 60079-19.
•The PSF-M-EX actuators are constructed exclusively for use as electronic valve actuators. They are designed for
assembly with valves and their motorised operation.
•Any use other than this is considered unintended use. The manufacturer is not liable for damage resulting from
this.
•The actuators shall not be used outside the limit values cited in the data sheet, catalogue and/or order
documentation. Infringement negates all liability on the part of the manufacturer for any resultant damages.
•Proper intended use also includes compliance with the operating, maintenance and repair conditions from the
manufacturer.
•Mounting and adjustment of the actuator as well as its maintenance are not considered as intended use.
Enhanced safety precautions must be implemented in such situations!

7
•Assembly/disassembly, operating and maintenance work may only be carried out by suitable skilled personnel
familiar with the work. All generally applicable legal regulations and other binding guidelines for work safety,
accident prevention and environmental protection must be complied with.
•Unauthorised modifications to the actuators negate all liability on the part of the manufacturer for any resultant
damages.

8. Manual override and setting of the DIP switches
8.1 Setting the actuators during commissioning (hood open)
When commissioning the actuators, the hood must be opened. The hood may only be opened in non-hazardous
areas and only in a dry environment (see chapter 10 for instructions).
To actuate the actuator during setting work (valve assembly and end position setting), an electrical manual override
by means of a push button is available (for operation, see chapter 12.2).
Programming of the control (DIP switch) is possible in voltage-free state (see chapter 12.1). To do this, first loosen 4
fastening screws of the upper cover of the Ex d control housing, then the upper cover can be removed from the Ex d
control housing. The upper cover of the Ex d control housing must not be damaged in the area of the joint gap when
removing it.
The top cover of the Ex d control housing must be installed considering the position of the push button and the light
guide (see figure 3). The tightening torque for the Ex d cover screws is 6 Nm, minimum quality of the screws 8.8.
(corrosion resistant).
The operating status (status display LED in the Ex d control housing) is indicated by a light guide in the Ex housing
(see chapter 12.3).
The electrical connection of the actuators is made via the terminal strip. The wiring diagram must be observed (see
chapter 11.2).

11. Electric supply
11.1 Safety instructions
During the connection of the mains voltage, this must be disconnected and secured against
unintended reactivation.
The actuator hood must be opened for the electrical connection (see chapter 10).
The mains connection cables must be designed for the nominal current of the actuator.
Yellow-green coloured wiring shall be used only for connecting the protective earth connections.
The cable entry options (cable glands) on the actuator side are located on the lower part of the housing.
For this purpose
- 2x M20 x 1.5
- 1x M16 x 1.5
are available for feeding through the cables from the outside to the inside (see chapter 10).
When guiding the cables through the cable glands, take the maximum bending radius of the cables into account.
Unused entries must be closed by suitable blanking elements.
As the PSF-M-Ex electrical actuators do not have an internal electrical disconnect device available, a switch or circuit
breaker must be provided in the building installation. This must be located in the vicinity of the device, easily
accessible to the operator and must be identified as a disconnect device for the device.
Furthermore, the building installation must provide over-current protection devices according to IEC 60364-4-41 for
the connection of actuators of protection class I or protection class III at 24 VAC / 24 VDC.
All mains connection lines and control lines must be mechanically
secured ahead of the terminals with suitable measures to prevent
unintentional loosening.
Mains connection lines and control lines shall not be routed
together in one line but rather two separated lines shall be used in
all situations!
Opening:
First loosen all screws with a suitable screwdriver, then
unscrew them completely from the gearbox housing. The
screws are loss-proof. Remove the hood carefully so as not
to damage the seal.
Closing:
Place the cover on the gearbox housing and press lightly.
Lightly tighten all the screws, then tighten them crosswise.
It must be ensured that all screws are firmly tightened to
guarantee protection against ingress of water and dust in
accordance with EN 60529 to IP65. The tightening torque
for the Ex e/t hood is 3 Nm.

12.4 Automatic commissioning (see also chapter 12.2)
•Check secure connection between valve and actuator.
•To start automatic commissioning, press button B2 for at least 7 seconds.
-Option 1: “Opening with force - Closing with force”: The actuator moves to the open-end position by force
and back again to the closed end position.
-Option 2: “Open with calibrated stroke” (20/30/40 mm) or (20/30/50 mm for PSF-M405-EX): The closed
end position is saved and the stroke is calculated based on the setting. If the possible travel path is less than
the preset stroke, the stroke for operation is automatically reduced to the resulting maximum possible
value.
•After successful commissioning, the green LED flashes seven times.
•Then press button B1 to return to normal operation.
•After successful commissioning, check the determined or adjusted stroke by setting the set value and the valve
position.
•Unsuccessful commissioning is signalled by the green LED flashing rapidly. Check valve installation.
•For commissioning, it is necessary that a residual stroke of at least 1 mm is available in "Closing direction with
force" before the actuator has reached its mechanical stop. Furthermore, the actuator must be able to perform
a stroke of at least 5 mm.
12.5 Manual commissioning (see also chapter 12.2)
•Check that the gland between the valve and the actuator is secure.
•To activate the individual calibration, press button B1 > at least 7 seconds.

17
•The actuator can be moved manually with buttons B1 and B2 until the desired open-end position of the valve is
reached.
•The calibration of the two end positions is started and saved by pressing B1 and B2 simultaneously for at least 3
seconds.
•After successful calibration, the green LED flashes seven times.
•Then press button B1 to return to normal operation.
•Check the adjusted stroke by setting the set value and measuring the actual value.
•Unsuccessful calibration is signalled by the green LED flashing rapidly.
•For commissioning, it is necessary that a residual stroke of at least 1 mm is available in "Closing direction with
force" before the actuator has reached its mechanical stop. Furthermore, the actuator must be able to perform
a stroke of at least 5 mm.
12.6 Manual operation (see also chapter 12.2)
•Press and hold buttons B1 and B2 simultaneously for at least 3 seconds to activate manual operation.
•Press button B1 to retract the valve stem.
•Press button B2 to extend the valve stem.
•Press and hold buttons B1 and B2 simultaneously for at least 3 seconds to exit manual operation.
12.7 Handwheel
•Press the handwheel towards the housing: the motor is deactivated.
•Keep the handwheel pressed and turn it:
oto the left: the valve spindle moves downwards.
oto the right: the valve spindle moves upwards.
•Release the handwheel: the handwheel is inoperative, after 5 seconds the motor is reactivated.
13. Operation
The operator of an electrical system in a potentially explosive environment must keep the equipment in proper
condition, operate it properly, monitor it and carry out maintenance and repair work.
See also IEC 60079-17/IEC 60079-19.
During operation, all internal parameters, such as the required motor torque and the current position, as well as the
operating states of the actuator are continuously monitored. This ensures that the actuator is positioned with
optimal accuracy and that the valve is always closed correctly.
End position operating behaviour
Depending on the setting of DIP switch S2.1, the end position switch-off takes place in operation in one end position
at the found/selected position, and in the other end position by force (see chapter 12.2).
14. Commissioning
•Before the equipment is initially commissioned, it must be checked for its suitability in the
relevant zone on the basis of its marking. The values specified on the type plate and in the
applicable documents must not be exceeded.
•Commissioning and use may only take place when the operating equipment is correctly
arranged within the system and is undamaged and clean.
•Opening the hood (see chapter 10), placing the actuator on the valve (see chapter 9),
making the electrical connection (see chapter 11).
•Carry out automatic (see chapter 12.4) or manual commissioning (see chapter 12.5).
•Close the hood (see chapter 10).

18
15. Maintenance and servicing
The actuators are maintenance-free under the operating conditions specified in the data sheet. The gearboxes are
lubricated for life and do not require relubrication.
Attention!
During maintenance and servicing, the actuator must not be operated electrically.
Personnel carrying out work and maintenance and servicing must be skilled and familiar with the work.
15.1 Cleaning
Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Please do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents, as these can make the inscription on the safety stickers
and the type plate illegible. The actuator must not be moved during the cleaning process.
15.2 Servicing
The actuators are pre-tensioned by a return spring, the gearbox housing
must not be opened.
Defective actuators must be returned to our main factory in Bad Dürkheim, Germany, for repair
