Operation
Depending on the type of connection (see the wiring diagram), the actuator maybe used as a continuous
(0...10 V and/or 4...20 mA), 2-point (OPEN/CLOSED) or 3-point (OPEN/STOP/CLOSED) device with an
intermediate position.
The actuator's running time can be set according to the specific requirements, using switches S1 and S2.
Switches S3 and S4 are used to set the characteristic (equal percentage, linear or quadratic).
The external lever allows you to adjust the position manually. When the leveris folded out, the motor cuts
out. When the lever is folded back into place, the setpoint position is adopted again (without initialisation).
If the lever is folded out again, the actuator stays in this position.
Initialisation and feedback signal
When used as a continuous actuator, the device initialises itself automatically. As soon as power is ap-
plied to the actuator for the first time, it moves to the valve's lower limit, thus enabling automatic connec-
tion with the valve spindle. Then it moves to the upper limit and the value is recorded and saved by a
travel measurement system. The control signal and the feedback signal are adjusted to this actual stroke.
There is no re-initialisation in the event of a power failure. The values are saved.
To re-initialise, the actuator must be connected to the power supply and there must be a continuous input
signal at 3u or 3i. To trigger an initialisation, fold the lever out and back in again twice within 4 s. Both of
the LEDs will then flash red.
During initialisation, the feedback signal is inactive, or it corresponds to a value of 0. Initialisation uses the
shortest running time. The re-initialisation is not valid until the entire procedure has been completed.
Folding the lever out again will interrupt the procedure.
If the valve actuator detects a blockage, it will report this by setting the feedback signal to 0 V after ap-
prox. 90s. However, the actuator will try to overcome the blockage during this time. If the blockage can
be rectified, the normal control function is activated again and the feedback signal is restored.
No initialisation is performed with 2-point or 3-point control. The feedback signal is inactive.

Connected as a 2-point valve actuator (24 V)
This type of activation (OPEN/CLOSED) can be achieved by two wires. Power is applied to terminals 1
and 2a. By applying power (24 V) at terminal 2b, the shaft extends. When the power is switched off, the
actuator moves to the opposite end position. The motor's electronic cut-out responds in the end positions
(valve limit, or when maximum stroke is reached) or in the event of an overload (no limit switches).
The coding switch can be used to set the run times. The characteristic cannot be selected in this case
(resulting in the characteristic forthe valve). Terminals 3i, 3u and 44 must not be connected.
Connected as a 3-point valve actuator (24 V)
Applying power at terminal 2a (or 2b) makes it possible to move the valve to any desired position. If pow-
er is applied at terminals 1 and 2b, the shaft extends. It retracts if power is applied at terminals 1 and 2a.
In the end positions (at the valve stop, or when the maximum stroke is reached), or in the event of an
overload, the motor's electronic cut-out is activated (no limit switches). The direction of the stroke can be
changed bytransposing the connections.
The coding switch is used to set the running times. In this case, the characteristic cannot be selected
(resulting in the characteristic forthe valve). Terminals 3i, 3u and 44 must not be connected.
Connected (with 230 V) as a 2-/3-point or with continuous control (accessory 0372332)
The accessory module is slotted into place in the terminal compartment and then connected accordingly.
The coding switch on the board is used to select the running times. The characteristic can be selected
only in the case of continuous activation; the characteristic for the valve is applicable. On this actuator
(which has no spring return action), the switching lever is in the lower position.
Connected to a control voltage (0...10 V and/or 4...20 mA)
The in-built positioner controls the actuator in accordance with the controller output signal y.
The control signal used is a voltage signal (0...10 V–) at terminal 3u, or a current signal at terminal 3i. If a
control signal is present at both terminals (3u (0...10 V) and 3i (4...20 mA)) simultaneously, the input with
the higher value takes priority.
Mode of action 1 (mains voltage to internal connection 2a): as the output signal increases, the shaft ex-
tends.
Mode of action 2 (mains voltage to internal connection 2b): as the output signal increases, the shaft re-
tracts.
The starting point and the control span are fixed. To set partial ranges, a split-range unit (for voltage input
3 u only) is available as an accessory (see the description below); this unit can be fitted in the actuator.
When the power supply is applied and initialisation has been carried out, the actuator moves to every
valve stroke between 0% and 100%, depending on the control signal. The electronics and the travel
measurement system ensure that no stroke is lost, and the actuator does not require re-initialisation at
intervals. When the end positions are reached, the position is checked, adjusted as necessary and
stored again. This ensures parallel running of several drives of the same SUT type. Feedback signal y
0
=
0...10 V corresponds to the effective valve stroke of 0 to 100%.
If the 0...10 V control signal is interrupted in direction of action 1, the spindle retracts completely. So that
the shaft can extend (direction of action 1), a voltage of 10 V must be applied at terminals 1 and 3u, or it
is necessary to switch over to direction of action 2.
The coding switch can be used to set the characteristic for the valve. Equal-percentage and square char-
acteristics can be produced only if the actuator is used as a continuous actuator.Furtherswitches can be
used to select the running times (can be used for 2-point, 3-pointor continuous functions).
Continuous activation can also be used with 230 V or 110 V. Note that the controller's neutral conductor
should be connected to the control voltage. The neutral conductor of the power supply should be used
only for the module.
LED indicators (dual-colour, red and green)
Both LEDs flashing red: initialisation procedure
Upper LED lit red: upper limit or "CLOSED" position reached
Lower LED lit red: lower limit or "OPEN" position reached
Upper LED flashing green: actuator running, moving towards "CLOSED" position
Upper LED lit green: actuator stationary, last direction of running "CLOSED"
Lower LED flashing green: actuator running, moving towards "OPEN" position
Lower LED lit green: actuator stationary, last direction of running "OPEN"
No LED lit: no power supply (terminal 2a or 2b)
Both LEDs flashing red and green: actuator is in manual mode

Split-range unit (accessory 0313529)
This accessory can be fitted either in the actuator itself or externally in an electrical distribution box. The
starting point U
0
and the control span ∆U can be set with the help of a potentiometer. This makes it pos-
sible to operate several regulating units in sequence or in a cascade with the control signal from the
controller. The input signal (partial range) is converted into an output signal of 0...10 V.
Engineering and installation notes
The ingress of condensate or water droplets etc. along the valve spindle and into the actuator should be
prevented.
The valve is slotted straight onto the actuator and fixed with screws (no further action is required). The
actuator is automatically connected to the valve spindle. The actuator spindle is supplied exworks in the
middle position.
The housing has three pre-scored cable inlets which are broken open automatically when the cable inlet
grommet is screwed in.
The combination of stepping motor and electronics unit enables several actuators of the same type to be
run in parallel. The cross-section of the power cable's wires should be selected according to the cable
length and the number of drives. With five drives connected in parallel and a cable length of 50 m, we
recommend a cross-section of 1.5 mm
2
(power consumption of the actuator × 5).
The actuator can be fitted with a maximum of one 230 V module, one additional accessory (auxiliary
contacts or potentiometer)and the split-range unit.
Fitting outdoors. If the devices are fitted outdoors, additional measures must be taken in order to protect
them from the weather.
Additional technical information
The yellow housing (consisting of the front and back sections and the connecting lid) serves merely as a
cover. The DC motor, the electronics control unit, the load-bearing parts and the maintenance-free gear
unit are accommodated in the housing. The actuator shaft and column are made of rust-proof materials.
The interior plates and the gear unit are made of steel. The valve spindle guide and the valve collar cou-
pling are made of die-cast aluminium.
Note on ambient temperatures: if the temperature ofthe medium in the valve is up to 110 °C, the ambient
temperature may be up to 60 °C. If the temperature of the medium is above 110 °C, the ambient temper-
ature must not exceed 55 °C; alternativelyuse accessory0372336 180 (adaptor).
Auxiliary change-over contacts
0372333 001 Switching capacity max. 250 V~, min. current 250 mA at 12 V (or 20 mA at 20 V)
Switching capacity max. 12...30 V=, max. current 100 mA
0372333 002 Switching capacity max. 250 V~, min. current 1 mA at 5 V
Switching capacity max. 0.1...30 V=, current 1...100 mA
Even if used only once above 10 mA or up to 50 V, the gold coating will be
destroyed. The switch can then be used only for higher switching outputs.
Warnings
•If the temperature of the medium in the valve is high, the actuator columns and the shaft
may also reach high temperatures.
•Additional protective precautions must be taken if a failure of the final control element
would cause serious damage.
