General advise

Transportation
The transportation to the installation location should always take place in a fixed packaging. Do not
carry the actuator on the hand wheel and do not attach any hoists to the hand wheel.
Receiving control
Check directly after delivery the actuator for possible damages in transit and faults.
Don´t leave any parts in the packaging. Check on the bases of the delivery note and the type label at
the actuator whether the delivered goods correspond to your order.
Storage
Camp down actuators in well ventilated, dry rooms. They must be protect against humidity, dust,
dirt, temperature change and solar radiation.
If a storage is not possible under the described conditions, the built-in control room heater has to be
wired actively. For this purpose, the actuator must be connected to the mains voltage
corresponding to the voltage indicated on the nameplate.
Damages in transit
Claims for damages related to shipping damage are immediately reported to the delivering
transport company. The transport packaging should be kept. Customize a damage report for return
(due to damage / repairs). Damage claims can be made only as asserted.
Return the delivery, after agreement, back to us, if possible with their original packaging und and
completed return form.

Send us the document via fax or mail. After our approval send you the goods together with the return
document and return material authorization number to our service departmant.

Safety advise

Generally
These safety instructions are to be considered by any person concerned with the operation,
maintenance or repair of the actuators. The proper and safe operation requires proper transport,
proper storage, mounting and careful operation
Maintenance and repair work may only be performed by qualified personnel. When wiring electrical
equipment the applicable VDE and EVU regulations are observed. Electrical protection measures
(grounding resistance, etc.) are to be checked. When working on the actuator or connected to these
devices and system components, the supply voltage must be switched off. Perform the installation,
repair work in compliance with the applicable statutory and professional safety and accident
prevention regulations!
The safety aspects are always depending on the circumstances and the timing of the assembly,
disassembly, adjustment, commissioning and are therefore always to adapt to the application
Example: The actuator is operated in an operational chemical plant. The hazards of commissioning
are in a different dimension than when it is operated only for testing purposes in a dry part of the
system
Since we do not know the circumstances at the time of installation / removal / dismissal /
commissioning, refer to the following descriptions may be hazards that are not relevant to you. Note
which apply to your situation!

Mounting
Switch off all equipment, machinery, equipment which is affected by the installation or repair and
disconnect the equipment, machinery, plant, where appropriate, from the net!
Check whether the plant shut-down causes potential danger ! Inform the shift foreman, safety
engineer or the conductor immediately to prevent a fault in the actuator, by run out or spilling of
liquids or leakage of gases, with suitable measures!
Check the correct functioning of the safety devices (e.g. Emergency-Stop-Switch/Safety valves
etc.) !
Provide for adequate vibration isolation! Vibrations can cause damage depending on the type or
resonance with the actuator components. Be particularly sensitive to wearing parts such as
potentiometers, motors or electronic components. The use in vibration-prone environments has to
be coordinated with the actuator manufacturer.
When installed in wet environments and in areas with significant temperature changes in each case
the built-in control room heater has to be kept actively after the actuator is stopping in the end
position.
Fireplaces, stoves, direct sunlight and other heat sources can emit large amounts of energy. This
heat radiation should be avoided by appropriate shielding of the actuator.

Safety advise

Settings and Commissioning

Make sure that the starting or the test settings on the actuator, no potential hazards to personnel or
the environment. If necessary, set to warning signs, so that unintentional operation is prevented!
During commissioning of the electric part turn actuator manually or electrically, the position of an
attached valve is changed. This allows the flow of gases, vapours, liquids, etc. are enabled or
interrupted.
Check that the valve is actually closed 100 percent when the controller signals the corresponding
position!
Av o i d b e i n g t r a p p e d b y s u i ta b l e m e a s u r e s t h a t b y m o v i n g pa r ts l i m b s !
Check the correct function of all safety devices ( e.g. emergency stop buttons, safety valves ... )
We assume that you have a sound mechanical and electrical skills.
First, check the following circumstances :
- Does the actuator the required version ( torque, protection, voltage, swivel angle, etc.).
- Does the wiring acc. to the voltage (see diagram/type label).
- Is it possible to adjust the valve on the manual override.
Switch from AUTO to MAN, move the handwheel / handlever to synchronize the
transmission then exit the adjustment path manually and turn back to the starting
position. Then switch from MAN to AUTO and move the handlever / hand wheel
onesmore.
The actuator may be used only for the purpose it was designed. Open the electric rotary actuator
only so far as it is described in this documentation.
Before mounting the actuator is the ease of movement of the actuator to consider. All cables that are
to be connected to the supply, before the electrical installation.
Upon completion of maintenance or repair, check the correct function and possibly adhering to the
target angular position of the actuator and the function of the adjusted to the angular positions
switch. To clean the housing, do not use abrasive, corrosive or flammable cleaners or high-pressure
cleaning equipment.

Device description

Emergency manual override

All J2 and J3/J3C models have a manual override for the operation in case of power failure. The
lever for this purpose located on the side of the actuator.

The drives have two operating modes: - Automatic mode = AUTO

- Manual operation mode = MAN
Position switch MAN
The motor is mechanically disconnected from the transmission.
The actuator can be instantly adjusted manually with the hand wheel / lever. The motor current
is interrupted after about four times the driving period.

Position switch to AUTO Manual Operation - MAN

The switching from the position MAN to AUTO gets done with slight rotation of the hand wheel/lever,
so that the transmission is synchronized with the motor and the gear engages.

Automatic Operation - AUTO

There are two ways of switching from "MAN" to "AUTO" to activate the motor again:
1. It is in MAN position an end position manually approached (Open or Closed). Upon actuation of
the limit switch the motor is activated again. If the motor is running, you can switch the lever from
MAN to AUTO and the actuator is ready for operation.
2. The actuator is switched from MAN to AUTO. The supply voltage is briefly turned off and turned on
again. This will reset the actuator and is ready for operation. For model 20 to 85, the hand lever/
hand wheel rotates with the electrical travel.
For model 20 to 85, the hand lever/hand wheel rotates with the electrical travel.
The hand lever / hand wheel must not be blocked!
Never remove the screw of the switch/lever, since defects in this transmission may result. If the
screw gets removed, the warranty expires.

Assembly

Environmental conditions
The actuator must be protected against outdoor heating by solar radiation, freezing, UV radiation
(e.g. shelter / roof).
To avoid condensation, the control room heater must be active, i.e. the supply voltage must be
applied continuously. Cabling and connector seals should be checked for proper fit and tightness.
In cold or hot liquids above or below the temperature range (-20°C to 70°C), a temperature
derivative should be provided.
In applications where vibrations are expected, e.g. compressors, motors, line strokes, in the
pipeline pipe compensators have to be provided.
Mounting
According to the use- and safety- requirements, the part of the plant design or operator has to
require inspection- and maintenance- cycles as well as instructions and documentations on the
operating characteristics of the actuators.
It should be noted that the manual override is accessible and the position indicator is visible.
Depending on the version the actuator is pre-adjusted according to the imprint. You may adjust the
swivel angle (see “position adjustment”).
The assembly of the actuator is limited to the mechanical assembly in that equipment / machinery /
plant part, which contains the actuating device and to the terminal of the actuator to the motor
actuator- and control lines.
To the following description we assume that you have read the previous chapter carefully. Pay
attention to the assembly and disassembly instructions and warning notes written in the chapter on
safety advise.

Actuators must not be installed headlong. (flange / fitting above)

not permissible installation

Maintenance
The actuators require no maintenance.
A control test to function according to the security requirements of the plant system is
recommended, especially for seldom-used actuators.
After commissioning, the connection of the actuator with the valve should be checked after some
time. Here also the ease of the assembled valve is to be tested. Generally attention must be paid to
tight fit of the lid and the tightness of the cable gland. Unused connectors must be covered
accordingly.
After long plant shut-downs valves can be extremely stiff. A manual actuation (without any actuator)
might be necessary before restarting (notice instructions of the valve suppliers).

Assembly

Mounting of the valve

The valves shall be designed according to interface DIN3337/ISO5211. An

alignment of actuator and valve shaft must be ensured.
The technical requirements must comply with the performance of the actuators.
Blocking the output shaft or the hand controls may result in damage to the
actuator. Insertion depth

Insertion depth of the actuator drive adapter

The insertion depth of the valve´s square socket to be assembled to the actuator´s double square socket
should be always less than or equal to the insertion depth of actuator.
As a rule of thumb for planners is at least:
Insertion depth = size of the specified double squares
Should this not be considered, it may cause a malfunction or even damage of the actuator!

Insertion depth in detail:

Thread engagement of fastening material

It is to ensure a sufficient depth. In models 10, 20 and 35, the screw / the threaded pin must not be
screwed lower than the thread of the multi flange plate to prevent a lifting of this flange plate.

Recommendation:
If possible, use headless screws with nuts and washers for the construction of the valve, thus raising the
flange is prevented.
The use of threaded pins depends on the valve flange. Details can be found in the valve data sheet.
Advantages of using threaded pins: - fast centring of the valve and actuator
- easier removal of the valve and actuator in the place of assembly,
e.g. during maintenance, replacement of components

Position Adjustment

Safety
All work in the actuator must be carried out only by qualified personnel and disconnected power source.
Touching live components can have a dangerous electrical shock and damage the electronics!
Purpose
The actuators are pre-adjusted. Depending on the envisaged use, clearance or lack of alignment of valve
connections or adapters it may be necessary to adjust the actuator in his travels to the particular valve or to
adjust feedback different due to the circuit. After prolonged use or under strong vibrations, readjustment
may be required.
Note
All bolts and gaskets are to set to its original position for the assembly. Please note the instructions of the
valve manufacturers and system operators.
preparatory measures
1. Pull the connector after loosening the screws (note seals) .
2. Loosen the screws on the hand wheel and remove it, respectively remove the T-handle gently pull
upwards with a wide-edge screwdriver.
3. Loosen and remove the housing screws.
4. Carefully pull cover straight up and do not twist, possibly for type 140 and 300 push the upper part
with both hands up (levering with a screwdriver can lead to leaks). Put the cover to one side (cables
can stay connected to the board). Note, however, the cable lead that needs to be restored for the
assembly.

Setting the limit switches

Procedure:
Switch actuator from automatic to manual mode and approach to changing position of the manual override.

Engine shut-down for Models 10 to 85

Now you can plug a 2 mm allen wrench or a small screwdriver into the gap of the cam and twist it until a clicking
sound of the switch is heard. Turn the cam always from the direction in which the main shaft will rotate to the
position of the switch.

The adjustment tool may not be supported on actuator components when adjusting the end positions!

The cams are secured by a snap ring on the shaft and can be
adjusted with a 2mm Allen wrench.

End position
The adjustment of the end positions is accomplished in the same manner, with the aid of a resistance
meter . The resistance meter is connected to pin 1 and 2 (closed position) or to pin 1 and 3 (open position)
of the limit plugs (see wiring diagram). The signal switches must be set so that they are triggered just
before reaching the engine shut-down. Of course, they can also be adjusted to any point in the pivot range
of the actuator, such as intermediate positions to display.

To avoid problems, you should adjust the cams 3 and 4 always about 3 degrees before the engine shut-
down.

Assembly
After calibration, the lid has to be replaced carefully.
Be sure to route the cables around the shafts and the engine as in the origin situation, so it can
not cause malfunction by pinching. The lid must now lie close to the base. If this is not the case,
a cable is located between the motor and the cover, or may be clamped between lower part and
lid. When the lid rests tight, you can replace the screws and tighten them crosswise. Then put
on and fixed the handlever or the hand whee. Once the electrical connections have been made
and the actuator has been switched from AUTO to MAN by rotating the hand wheel / lever, you
can check the electrical function. If the function is incorrect, the procedure must be repeated
carefully.

FA Q ` s

If you have difficulties, please consult this list first. If you find no solution to the problem
in this information, please contact your dealer.

Nothing happens, the actuator does not move.

Power light does not function.
- Check the wiring.
- Is the plug connected?
- Is there power at the plug?
- Is the actuator suitable for the applied voltage? - Check type label

The actuator runs and then stops.

The power light flashes:
The limiter is activated – the valve e.g. is sluggish, blocked or unsuitable for operation
by the type of actuator. Eliminate cause of overload or select next strongest actuator.
Power light is not flashing:
Check external fuse and replace if necessary, check the wiring and supply voltage.

The actuator is set to "OPEN" position, the valve is closed, however, and does not open or close
completely.
Actuator is twisted mounted or the end position adjustment is wrong with the valve
match. The release cams have to be readjusted, and/or the actuator is to set up
correctly.

The limit switches for position feedback does not respond.

Check the wiring.
Check the adjustment of the release cams and adjust it so that the switches are
activated just before reaching the travel limit (about 3 °).

The actuator moves, but the valve does not.

The interface between the valve and actuator is faulty or damaged, forgotten
assembling accessories - consult the valve assembling company and check the
complete documentation of the actuator for clues.

The end position is reached, but the limiter is activated (power light flashes).
Mark the position of the position indicator, switch to MAN, manually turn the actuator
back slightly from the end position and back again.
If you come up against some increased resistance while manual rotation, the
valve must be tested.
Are there travel stops that were not removed? - Remove travel stops
Are there foreign substances in the valve (e.g. swaps)? - Remove foreign substances
Is the seal damaged? - Repair the valve or consult with valve supplier.
The integrated limiter acts as a protective device to prevent damage to such problems.
A constant use (e.g. driving on travel stops) may cause damage to the valve, adapters
and actuator.
Such errors therefore must be eliminated as soon as possible!

Actuators with Battery Spring Return

These options are not available for the series J2 10

The BSR Safety Kit includes a battery pack and a charging electronic,
which ensures a safety positon (open or closed) of the valve in case of
power failure. The battery pack is integrated in the housing at all models.
Continuous operation during power failure is not possible with the built-in
BSR kit, otherwise the actuator can be operated like a standard actuator.
J3/J3C BSR Kit built-in
When reaching the end position "open" or "closed", the voltage must be
applied to charge the battery. If the asdctuator is opposite to the reference safety position, and
there is a power failure, the actuator moves to its reference position (fail safe). Again energized,
the actuator moves to the position selected by the switch position of the system (wiring
diagram). The batteries have a long lifetime, but it depends on the operating conditions. A
standard test of the actuators, as measured by the security requirements, is to be provided.
Before commissioning, the battery pack is to be charged for at least 36 hours at the power
supply (connector 1).
The desired reference position during a power failure, "valve OPEN" (NO) or "valve CLOSED
(NC)", is to be specified when ordering the actuator. If you have incorrectly ordered the safety
position, the reference position can be reconfigured.

J3/J3C Series - Changing the safety position in case of power failure ( NC / NO)
The reference position can be changed by using jumpers on the motherboard.
The configuration is as follows:
If the jumper is plugged, during a power failure the actuator moves in the “close” position (NC).
If the jumper is removed, during power failure the actuator moves to the “open” position (NO).

At the adjustment of the DPS positioner system the system indicate the adjusted positions of the
motorcams. For this the actuator drives in both positions, indicate the border micro switch and set it
in the system. You have to make these adjustment always after you have adjust the cams for motor
stop.

Electric adjustment at J3/J3C series actuators with open cover:

For the adjustment drive you have to wire and switch on the power supply at plug 1.

Note: At actuators with DPS and BSR you have to unplug the BSR Accupack from the
circuit board before you start the adjustment drive!

- switch off the power supply and open the cover

- Make a short circuit at the two "SETUP" Pins on the DPS board
(exampel with a little screw driver)
- switch on the power supply
- release the short circuit at “Setup” Pin`s
- now the actuator drives in both end positions Jumper (JP6)

After the adjustment drive the actuator drives to the position according to your input signal.
The adjustment is finished. If the actuator don't work fine you have to look at the LED “OPEN”
und “CLOSE” are they blinking, please read chapter "FAQ" below.

Actuators with DPS Positioner

Electric adjustment with closed cover (J3/J3C series):

- switch of the power supply 3

- relaese the plug 3 from the termial 3 (Positioning signal) 2 1

- make a short circuit at terminal 3 betwen Pin 1 and Ground

(see wiring diagram/right side)
- switch on the power supply
- release the short cicuit
- now the actuator drives in both end positions
After the adjustment drive the actuator drives to the position according to your input signal. The adjustment is
finished.
If the actuator does not work correctly it will be necessary to open the cover to control the LED „ OPEN“ and
“Close”.
The actuators are designed without travel end stops. With the selectable manual override in
“Manual” mode it is possible to turn the actuator by handwheel/lever. Please take care to move the
actuator between the adjusted angel positions (standard = 0°/90°). Should you have turned the actuator
manual wise more than 300° or to a position less than 0° the actuator will be dis-adjusted in case of
automatic mode movement. Then the actuator drives, via the internal motor, 270° onto close direction
and stops at the motor stop micro- switch. The DPS System then is out of the adjusted strokeway as the
internal potentiometer has a death part.

Manuell adjustment without readjust the actuator

To readjust the factory postioning please follow the next steps:
- Switch the selectable manual override in “’Manual” Mode
- Turn by handwheel /lever the actuator indicator one 360° turn
- Switch the selectable manual override in “’Automatic” Mode
- Switch the Power on and check via the positioner signal (0-10V/4-20mA) the positions
If the input signal not acc. to the factory adjusted postions (exampel: 5V/12mA = 45°)repeat the
procedure in the same direction ones more. After maximum six turnarounds the system is adjusted.

Function feedback by internal LED on DPS board:

- POWER LED on = power supply of the positioning system is ok
- OPEN LED on = input signal is not acc. to the position - actuator drives to “OPEN” direction
- CLOSE LED on = input signal is not acc. to the position - actuator drives to “CLOSE” direction

Actuators with DPS Positioner

Error message shown y LED on the positione circuit board:

If both LED´s, “OPEN” und “CLOSE”, blinking , and the actuator doesn't drive , is the death point of the
potentiometer arrive and the system is adjusted. To solve the problem turn the potentiometer for this loose
the screw on DPS board. After the turn you have to be readjust the system, for this see chapter adjust the
DPS system.
FAQ - DPS Position
-The actuator positions is not acc. to the input signal .
reason: drive over the adjusted angel by hand
help: see chapter “adjust the DPS positioner systems“
-The actuator doesn't drive but the LED in the cover is on.
reason: death point of the potentiometer is arrived
help: see chapter “adjust the DPS positioner systems“
-The actuator drives in the wrong direction at positioner signal (e.g. 0 V = valve is opened)
reason : valve is wrong mounted or the rotating direction is changed
help: mount the valve correctly or see chapter "Change the direction of rotation of the input signal"
-The motor cams are adjusted by the user but the actuator drives in the same position like before.
reason : after the adjustment of the cams you have to adjust the DPS system too
help: see chapter “adjust the DPS positioner systems“
-The angel positions are not according to the signal. The actuator stopps earlier
reason : the motor stop cam is adjusted in the adjustment area of the DPS Systemr
help : see chapter “Working angel adjust” after it chapter “adjust the DPS positioner systems“
The volt free contacts have no function after arrive to the end position
reason: the cam doesn't arrive the position or is adjusted
help: adjust the cam see in the main manual

Actuators with Potentiometer

This option is not available for model series J2 type 10

The potentiometer output signal shows the actual position of the valve shafts. The signal is
shown in an ohmic value. This can be evaluated by an appropriate control and then processed.
The following three potentiometer values are available:
1 KOhm
5 KOhm
10 Kohm
The potentiometer must be specified in the order, as subsequent conversion is not possible.
The electric quarter turn actuator has two adjustable, potential- / volt- free signals for the position
confirmation.
Example: The standard actuator with the settings 0 ° and 90 °
Mounting
The electric actuator must not be operated in manual mode with the hand wheel moving out of its
factory setting/swivel range. It is used a rotating potentiometer. By the gear ratio the zero point will
shift when turning over the working angel. If you have deadjusted the zero point, as long as the
actuator is to twist in the manual mode with 360 ° turns, until the measured value is the same as the
origin value.
The potentiometer output signal is an ohmic value which varies in a range between 0 K Ohm
and the specified maximum value. The minimum and maximum value can not be shown,
caused by the design. It is simply a sector. The ohmic values can vary from actuator to actuator,
for the same position. Each actuator is individually to calibrate during installation and put into
operation. For the corresponding positions you can either tap the ascending or descending
value of the potentiometer.
Reference
If it is desired that the actuator stops in intermediate positions without major effort, the model with
positioner DPS is to choose. The model is available in versions 0 - 10 V, 4 - 20 mA or 0 - 20 mA /
Input and output signal.

Actuators with 2 control phases

This option is not available for J2 10

This option can be ordered with continuous phase NO or NC.

This on/off actuator travels in the ordered phase direction (NO or NC). If the second phase contact
the actuator travels to the opposite direction.
This actuator is connected very well suited for the exchange of solenoid valves. You can use the of
the solenoid valve in the control panel and must remain stuck to the actuator only a permanent
phase.
Advantages: No programming required, less wiring!
