INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
HANDLING & STORAGE
HANDLING
Proper care in handling the valve should be taken to
prevent damage. Do not drop or throw it.
STORAGE
Store the valve in the protected area from dust,
moisture, and direct sunlight. If possible, should be
kept in the original packaging.
CHECKING
• Check the product code, power supply, and voltage
before installation.
• Make sure that the bolts are not loose.
• The DIP switch should be set up before the power is
turned on. Do not touch unnecessary switches.
INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
• Flush the pipeline carefully before installing the
valve. Foreign particles, such as sand or pieces of
welding electrode, will damage the ball and seats.
• For valves with specified flow direction (V), check the
arrows on the product before piping.
• When the flow path is subjected to a high pressure
from arrow, it may leak slightly to the low pressure
port. (L2)
PIPING FLANGES
• Gasket should be selected appropriately to suit the
fluid, pressure and temperature.
Use spring washer to prevent from decreasing
surface pressure gasket when the temperature
change happens frequently.
• Tighten all bolts using crossover method to load the
joint evenly.
ENVIRONMENT
• Do not install in place where corrosive gas is present
or where vibration is heavy (0.5 G or more).
• When radiant heat causes the surface temperature
of the control unit to exceed 55 °C, provide an
appropriate shielding plate.
• If there is a possibility that the fluid and drive part
freeze, please take measures to prevent freezing.
POSITIONING
Should be positioned through 90° upward from
horizontal. Provide space around the product to
allow manual operation, inspection and replacement
work.
Maintenance space for upper part of actuator.
AEX (120 / 360 / 700) More than 105 mm
AEX (02K / 06K) More than 120 mm
OTHER NOTES
Until the wiring is completed there must be no
condensation or flooding in the interior of the
actuator, after piping. Protective caps on the cable
gland are not waterproof.
TIGHTEN THE GLAND NUTS
• Check that there is no leakage from the gland
packing.
• If it leakage, tighten gland nuts by alternately.
Do not over-tighten the gland nuts.

WIRING
PRECAUTIONS
• Remove the actuator cover before wiring.
• Two G1/2 electrical connections are provided with a
cable gland and plug. Usable cable size is 6 to 12
mm.
• When using a flexible tube, dew condensation may
occur inside the actuator due to respiration from the
inside of the tube and malfunction may result. Seal
the flexible tube connector part with a sealant.
• Sealants that affect the electrical contacts should not
be used inside the electric actuator.
• If long distance wiring or low voltage operation,
check that terminal voltage is in the proper range.
• Input signal circuit is non-isolated.
Do not connect DC (minus) wire to other DC (minus)
common.
CONNECTION
• Do not wiring outdoors on a rainy day.
• Check the power supply and voltage.
Connect the signal as shown in the wiring diagram.
Do not connect unnecessarily terminal.
• Check whether the MODE change DIP SW on a
circuit board substrate is set up correctly.
• When wiring, if wiring of a signal is mistaken, it will
not operate correctly. Contact us when you use two
valve or more by one controller or indicator.
• Actuator should be electrically grounded.
Use the terminal marked ( ) inside the actuator.

INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
PREVENT DEW CONDENSATION
• When installing the cover after wiring, perform the
bolt by the temporary tightening procedure and the
permanent tightening procedure to tightly and
securely tighten the rubber packing so that water
does not enter from the outside.
• Tighten the cable gland nut so that there is no
leakage from the wire entrance.
CONTROL
INPUT SIGNAL
• Use shielded wire for signal wiring where high level
noise is generated or when the wiring distance is
long.
• Control with a 1 to 5 V input signal becomes an input
resistance 250 . Provide a voltage that can safely
20mA or more than.
INPUT SIGNAL AND OPERATION MODE
The input signal and operation mode are set as
follows. (Factory shipped)
Input signal 4 to 20 mA or 1 to 5 V
Operation mode Mode A
Operation SHUT by decreased signal.
OPEN by increased signal.
OPERATION
TESTING
• Make sure that power supply voltage is correct. Also
check operating position, wiring, speed and signals.
• During trial operation, check that valve movement
and output signal are correct.
CONFIRM THE OPERATING CONDITION
• Adjust fluid condition, controller setting, sensor etc.
so that stable control is achieved.
• When used in an unstable control state, the life of
the actuator and the valve will be shortened.
• The desired control state is stable at the target value.
Adjust the PID setting value of the controller when
overshooting the target value greatly, when not
converging for a long time or hunting operation. Also,
when the time delay is large, please consider the
sensor position.
ATTENTION
• Do not change an unnecessary dip switch.
• Keep power supplied for built-in space heater to
prevent condensation inside actuator.
• Do not touch the moving parts of actuator in
operation.
• Never put anything on the actuator or make it into a
foothold.
MANUAL OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
• Be sure to turn off the power before manual
operation.
• Operate manually with reference to the opening
degree label. Do not turn beyond the fully open / fully
closed position. Operation failure may occur during
automatic operation.
THE WAY OF OPERATION
AEX AEX (06K)
Turn manual shaft slowly
with an adjustable
wrench.
Remove the cap.
Turn manual shaft
solely with M8 hexagon
socket screw keys.
Before automatic operation, be sure to remove the
wrench.
MAINTENANCE
• To prevent electric shock, be sure to turn off the
power when removing the actuator cover.
• Do the routine maintenance at least once in half a
year.
Inspection items
• Confirm operation of opening and closing.
• Confirm that an actuator is not hot excessively.
• Confirm existence of abnormal noise and
vibration during operation.
• Confirm whether screws are loose or not.
• Confirm that water or condensation no remains
in the actuator.
• Confirm the fluid temperature or pressure.
• Confirm the leak from valve stem.
• Confirm the bolt tightening torque.
