INSTRUCTIONS AND SECURITY
DESCRIPTION
These electric actuators have been designed to perform the control of a valve with 90° rotation. Please consult us
for any different application. We cannot be held responsible if the mentioned actuators are used in contradiction to
this advice.
TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
x The forwarding agents being held as responsible for damages and delays of the delivered goods, the consign-
ees are obliged to express if applicable their reserves, prior to accept the goods. The goods delivered directly
ex works are subject to the same conditions.
x The transport to the place of destination is carried out by using rigid packing material.
x The products must be stored in clean, dry, and ventilated places, preferably on appropriate palettes or shelves.
MAINTENANCE
x Maintenance is ensured by our factory. If the supplied unit does not work, please check the wiring according to
the electric diagram as well as the power supply of the concerned electric actuator.
x For any question, please contact our after-sales service.
x To clean the outside of the actuator, use a lint and soapy water. DO NOT USE CLEANING PRODUCT WITH SOL-
VENT OR ALCOHOL.
WARRANTY
x 100% of the actuators are fully tested and set in our factory.
x These products have a 3-year warranty from the delivery date or 50,000 operating cycles against all types of
manufacturing and material faults (operating time and model class according to standard CEI34).
x This warranty will only be valid if the unit has not been disassembled or self-repaired during its service life. The
warranty neither applies for wear or damages caused by chocks or faulty operations nor by the use of the unit
following conditions not in accordance or with its nominal characteristics. The warranty is strictly limited to the
replacement of original parts found defective when checked by our member staff. The cost of shipping to our
premises, the return of devices to the customer as well as the repair cost will be chargeable. We will not assume
the responsibility for any direct or indirect accidents/risks originated by a failure of our products. The warranty
does not cover the consequences of breakdown and excludes any payments for indemnities. The accessories
and adaptations are excluded from the guarantee. In the event that a customer has not proceeded to payments
within the agreed period, our warranty will be suspended until the delayed payments have been received and
with the consequences that this suspension will not prolong the warranty period in any case.
RETURN OF GOODS
x The customer is obliged to check the conformity of the goods with regard to their definition at the time of deliv-
ery.
x The acceptance of the goods by the purchaser disclaims the supplier of all responsibility if the purchaser dis-
covers any non-conformity after the date of acceptance. In such case, the repair cost will be borne by the pur-
chaser who will also exclusively bear all financial consequences of any resulting damage. Returned goods will
only be accepted if our prior agreement has been given to this procedure : the goods must be sent free of all
cost and being shipped solely and in their original packing. The returned goods will be credited to the purchaser
with a reduction of 20% on the unit’s price charged in accordance with the original invoice of the returned goods.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (To be read prior to the installation of the product)
x The electric power supply must be switched-off before any intervention on the electric actuator (i.e. prior de-
mounting its cover or manipulating the manual override knob).
x Any intervention must only be carried out by a qualified electrician or persons instructed in accordance with the
regulations of electric engineering, safety, and all other applicable directives.
x Strictly observe the wiring and set-up instructions as described in the manual: otherwise, the proper working of
the actuator can not be guaranteed anymore. Verify that the indications given on the identification label of the
actuator fully correspond to the characteristics of the electric supply.
x Any other use than that described by the manufacturer jeopardizes the protection provided by this apparatus.
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS (To be read prior to the installation of the product)
x Do not mount the actuator less than 30 cm from an electromagnetic disturbance source.
x Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the disconnecting device.
x Respect all safety rules during fitting, dismantling and porting of this apparatus.

As stipulated in the applicable regulation, the connection to earth
contact is compulsory for devices with working voltages exceeding
42 V.
The actuator is always powered, so it must be connected to a dis-
connection system (switch, circuit breaker) to ensure the actuator
power cut, correctly located, easily reached and marked as being
the disconnecting device for the equipment.
The terminal temperature can reach 90°C.
For a use with a long power supply wiring, the induction current
generated by the wires mustn't be higher than 1mA.
To optimize the installation security, please connect the failure
feedback signal.
The actuator can tolerate temporary overvoltage of the electrical
grid up to ± 10 % of its nominal system operating voltage.
It is necessary to connect all actuators to an electrical cabinet. The
power supply cables must have the RATED diameter for the maxi-
mum current supported by the actuator and comply with CEI 60227
or CEI 60245 standards.
Our cable glands are designed for cables with a diameter between
7mm and 12mm. The white caps delivered with the actuator ensure
a maximum 1m deep correct sealing. For a deeper immersion, the
three cable glands must be wired. Operate a 360° rotation of the
cable gland after the contact between the rubber cylinder and the
outside locknut.
The auxiliary limit switches must be connected with rigid wires. If
the applied voltage is higher than 42V, the user must foresee a fuse
in the power supply line.
The feedback switches must be powered with the same voltages.
The reinforced insulation of the motor control allows voltages up to
250V AC/DC.

To wire the actuator, unscrew the 4 CHC M6x30
screws, and the 4 M3x10 screws. The wiring can be
realized without tool, just raising the strips in front of
each pin.
For the reassembly, make sure that the seal is correct-
ly replaced in its groove to ensure a good sealing.
x The earth (TP/PE) and the pins 1, 2, 3, 4 must be wired through the same cable.

Description
x Local control (Bluetooth®) : allows the use of the actuator from 20m maximum (in open field). This mode
requires a smartphone or a tablet with the AXMART®software.
x Weekly scheduler (Bluetooth®) : thanks to AXMART®, you may assign up to 20 repeatable tasks to each ac-
tuator. This mode requires a smartphone or a tablet with the AXMART®software.
x Wired : electric control - permanent (on-off or 3-modulating point) or pulse.
x Positioning (learning mode) : this mode is needed for storing limit positions of the actuator.
x Positioning : allows the control of the actuator with a 0-10V or 4-20mA set point signal.
Keyboard local control (available soon)

Learning phase
x Put the power on
x With the « Next Mode » and « Ok Mode » buttons, select the learning mode (the APPR led is on)
x Press « APPR Close » button to drive the valve up to its closed position and keep both « APPR Close » and
« APPR Mem » buttons pressed during 2 seconds.
x The APPR1 led blinks and lights up. The closed position is correctly recorded
x Press « APPR Open » button to drive the valve up to its open position and keep both « APPR Open » and
« APPR Mem » buttons pressed during 2 seconds.
x The APPR2 led blinks and lights up. The open position is correctly recorded
Both open and closed positions are recorded. Select positioning (POSI) mode and press « OK Mode » to con-
firm.
Set point signal
The actuator positions itself according the set point signal. Two signal types are available, a 0-10V range voltage
signal or a 4-20mA range current signal. It’s possible to change this signal using the AXMART® software without
modifying the electric wiring.
Feedback
According to its position, the actuator will provide a voltage scale signal (0-10V) or a current scale signal (4-
20mA). It’s possible to change this feedback signal using the AXMART® software, but it requires changing the wir-
ing.
