microswitches switch off the actuator precisely when the Fig. 1. Jumper plugs W2,W3

specified stem force is reached. W3 W2

Manual Operation
10V
2...10V 0...10V

The actuators are equipped with an emergency operator 10V

used in case of power failure. Manual operation is only

possible after the power supply is switched off or
disconnected. It must be used only to check the valve
operation.
To operate push the manual operator knob down and turn
clockwise to move the stem downward and counter-clockwise
to move the stem upward. If the actuator returns to automatic
control, the manual operator knob unlocks automatically.
Electrical Installation
The actuators are delivered with a pre-installed cable gland
PG13.5. and two additional knock outs for PG11 and PG13.5.
Cable length and diameter for field mounting:
· 200m / 1.5mm2
NOTE
CAUTION
24V ~ and 24V^ (see Fig. 3.) must be applied in all
operating conditions because the stepper motor can only
be controlled via the processor electronic.
Input Signal Range
The range of the analog input signal Y (0 to 10 Vdc or 2 to
10Vdc) can be changed by changing the position of jumper
plug W2 (see Fig. 1.). The factory set is at 0 to 10 Vdc.
Direction of Action
The direction of action (direct or reverse) can be changed by
repositioning the jumper plug W3 (see Fig. 1.). It is set by the
factory such that the stem extends at increasing signal and
retracts at decreasing signal (direct action).
Y-Signal Override
To override the Y-signal and force the actuator in 0%
or 100% stroke position, inputs 1 and 2 (see Fig. 3.) has to
be connected as follows
· 0% stroke position (stem fully retracted):
input 1 not connected; 24V^ at input 2
· 100% stroke position (stem fully extended):
input 2 not connected; 24V^ at input 1
· Stroke position according to Y-signal:
input 1 and 2 not connected
Power Up
After each power up the actuator extends or retracts the stem
according to the input 1,2 connection.
If both inputs 1,2 are not connected, the actuator associates
the actual stroke position with the actual Y-signal and moves
the stem according to the Y-signal change.
Y-Signal break
In case of wire break at Y-signal input the actuator is moved
into the 0V signal position (security position).
Accessories
Auxiliary switches
The actuators can be equipped on site with an auxiliary
switch unit (250Vac/10A) with two switches. Their switching
points are adjustable over the full length of the actuator
stroke. The switches can be used to switch pumps or to
provide remote indications of any stroke position.
