Mounting the Actuator CMQ - QuARTeR-TuRn unIT - MounTIng CAuTIon It is essential that mounting procedure is carried out when the valve is not under working process conditions, as full valve movement may occur. IMpoRTAnT It is essential that the actuator is mounted correctly to the valve, damper or other device.
Page 19
Mounting the Actuator securing Actuator to valve Before fitting actuator to the valve ensure that the actuator and valve are in the same position. The position of the actuator can be confirmed by using the hand wheel A suitable mounting flange conforming to ISO 5211 or USA standard MSS SP-101 depending on the actuator supplied must be provided to mount the unit to the valve top works assembly.
Page 20
Mounting the Actuator stop bolt Adjustment It is recommended that stop bolt adjustment be carried out by the valvemaker/supplier before the valve is fitted in to the pipework. Once installed the valvemaker/supplier should be consulted before stop bolt re-adjustment is carried out. After setting or adjustment of stop bolts the actuator limits must be reset.

Installation & setup electrical Installation Cable entries The cable entries are tapped either ¾” NPT or M25. Remove any transit plugs. Make off cable entries appropriate to the cable type and size. Ensure that threaded adaptors, cable glands or conduit are tight and fully waterproof. Seal unused cable entries with steel or brass threaded plugs.
Page 24
Installation & setup electrical Installation wARnIng ensure all power supplies are isolated before removing actuator covers. Check that the supply voltage agrees with that stamped on the actuator nameplate. A fused switch or circuit breaker must be included in the wiring installation of the actuator. The switch or circuit breaker must be installed as close as possible to the actuator and shall be marked to indicate that it is the disconnecting device for that particular actuator.
