ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.To avoid serious personal injury,
property damage, turn off ALL power to the actuator before remov-
ing the cover.
Before installation or use, verify the nameplate information infor-
mation to insure the correct model number, torque, voltage and
enclosure type.
Be sure to completly review the actuator manual prior to operation.
Final limit switch adjustment MUST be done after mounting the ac-
tuator to the valve. Incorrect adjustment may cause actuator failure.
Over torque switches are factory set, tampering with the over
torque switch settings may damage the actuator and void the war-
ranty.
The actuator must be properly grounded. Use the grounding lugs
provided on the inside and outside of the actuator body.
To minimize the possible damage caused by condensation, be sure
to energize the heater.
Care should be taken when wiring 3 phase actuators.
Conrm proper rotation and limit switch shutoff function during the
initial operation. If the actuator rotates in the reverse direction, then
the phasing needs to be corrected by switching two of the 3 phase
wires on the terminal block.

1. Fail Close When there is no input signal, the actuator automatically turns to a full close position.
2. Fail Open When there is no input signal, the actuator automatically turns to a full open position.
3. AF If the input signal is at 3.8 ~ 4.3mA, the actuator turns to a full close position.
If the input signal is at 19.7 ~ 20.2mA, the actuator turns to a full open position.
4. CH1 Optional modulation
It is used when the user voluntarily changes the input signal.
ex) When setting to 6 ~ 18mA Input
●CH1 ON →Input 6mA and press ZERO button →Input 18mA and press SPAN button.
→CH1 OFF →Input and check if the device operates normally.
5. CH2 Optional modulation using manual handle.
Ii is used when the user controls the actuator using the manual handle.
ex) When controlling using the manual handle.
●CH2 ON →Put the actuator at Full Close. →Press the ZERO Button →Put the actuator at
Full Open →Press the SPAN Button →CH2 OFF →Input and check if the device operates
normally.
6. REV It is used when the actuator operates in the inverse direction.
When REV is on and at 4mA, the actuator turns to a full open position, and to a full close position
when at 20mA.
7. Full Close
Output Control
If the output is 3.7mA (not 4mA), put no.7 switch up and put SPAN button.
Whenever the button is put, the output increase. When it reaches at 4mA, put ASCN button for a
second to save it.
(If the output is higher than 4mA, (4.2mA), put ZERO button to decrease.)

Name Spec.
DEAD BAND Mechanical Steps at least 0.2mA
What is DEAD BAND ?
It’s an area/band where no action occurs due to the actuator input.
If the user inputs 12mA (50%), the actuator is supposed to stop exactly at 50% poaition. The actuator repeats from open
to close in order to stop at 50% position at this point.
This is what we call hunting, and if the hunting effect repeatedly occurs the motor can be damage. Therefor a dead band
is set to have some area in order to prevent this from happening.
It’s set to have 0.05mA per gradation. If it is at 1PH when shipped from the factory, it is set to have a 0.2mA dead band. If
it is at 3PH, on the other hand, it is set to have a 0.3mA dead band.
ex) If it is set to have a 0.2mA dead band, the actuator is positioned between 11.8mA to 12.2mA.
In case the actuator stops at the position of 12.1mA, the second least movement area will be at
12.3mA. At this position no action occurs even when there is the input signal.

3. After manual operation, leave the lever as it is. It will
automatically return to the previous stage of manual op-
eration by the internal Hand / auto Decluting System when
the actuator is powered on.
4.If the lever does not stand straight even if you pull it in
trying to manually operate the actuator due to some prob-
lems during the actuator operation, you have to check the
possibillity of Jamming.
What is Jamming effect?
It is when worm gear is pressed by the stopper bolt and
gear does not move. The lever and the handles will not
move at this point.
Manual Mode
1. When you pull the lever located on the side of actuator
handle toward the handle, the lever stands straight. If you
turn the handle in that condition, the actuator moves.
2.If the lever does not stand straight when you pull the
lever toward the handle, turn the handle halfway while
pulling the lever toward the handle.
●Turn the handle clockwise for CLOSE
●Turn the handle counter clockwise for OPEN
Limit Setting
1. Pull the lever located on the side of the handle toward
the handle to make it stand straight and the turn the
handle clockwise to fully close the actuator

Electrical wiring
Inside & Outside earth terminal
1. Conrm that the wiring diagram located in the actuator
and Wiring No. on the name plate match with each other.
2. Conrm that the main power and power supply
described on the name plate of the actuator match with
each other.
3. Insert a small athead screwdriver to open the terminal
point, then insert the wire.
4. Be sure to properly ground the actuator wiring to the
grounding terminals provided on the inside and outside of
the actuator body.
The internal grounding wire size shall be at least the same
with the conductor used and the external grounding wire
size shall be 4.5 ~ 5.0mm2at least.
5. Be sure to wire and energize the heaer that is provided.
6. Each actuator must be powered by their own individual
relays to prevent voltage feedback and actuator damage.
7. After the wiring is completed in the actuator, use wire
ties to clean up the actuator and group wires togheter,
and be certain that the wires are secured away from any
moving parts, remove any loose debris.
8. When all the work is completed, replace the top cover
and secure it using the six cover screws.
9. Apply the power and do a nal check to conrm proper
operation.
Main Power must only be applied when the top
cover is re-installed on the actuator body. If the
main power is on while wiring the actuator stop
work immediately and turn the power off. Only
then it is safe to proceed.
Potentiometer Setting
Change the potentiometer
value by altering the gear.
Potentiometer Check
● Actuator delivered full close at 85 ~ 120Ω
● After limit setting it should check at closed 85 ~ 120Ω
● Make actuator full closed and power off by moving
of gear.
Warning when setting the POTENTIOMETER:
When setting the resistance value on the
potentiometer, always operate when the actuator
power is OFF.
If the power is on, the resistance value on the
calibrator will not show accurately.
● When nished setting device, x the stop screw so that
the gear will not move.
