Actuator Identification Outside the Actuator 5.1.1 Local Controls & External LCD Display Actuators are supplied with local controls and an external backlit display. Selecting Local/Stop/Remote Operation The red and black selector determines operating mode as LOCAL, STOP or REMOTE. This can be locked in place with a 6.5mm hasp padlock.
Actuator Identification Inside the Actuator 5.2.1 User Interface Configuration of setting parameters is performed via the internal user interface. The user interface comprises LCD display and push buttons. Fig 5.4 Internal interface 5.2.2 Terminal Block Connections for the power, control and indication wiring are provided by terminal blocks fitted to the top side of the electrical chassis.

Installation Mounting the Actuator CAUTION It is essential that the actuator 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.
Page 15
Installation Move Valve stem to the closed position To enable the actuator to be installed correctly the valve must be in the closed (down) position to allow fitting of the valve stem/actuator coupling. Fig 6.2 Valve shaft Actuator Output Shaft The actuator is supplied with the output shaft in the fully retracted position.
Page 16
Installation Extend the actuator output shaft to bring the end of the shaft and the coupling together. Rotate the coupling as required to get a good firm contact between the valve stem and the output shaft. Fig 6.5 Mounting flange Adjust and tighten locking nut(s) if fitted on valve stem side of the coupling.
Installation Electrical Installation 6.3.1 Cable Entries The 4 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 18
Installation 6.3.4 Earth Ground Connections A lug is cast adjacent to the conduit entries for attachment of an external protective Earth (Ground) cable. An internal earth terminal is also provided. Consult local and certifying agency codes to determine which earth connections must be used. Refer to Fig 6.10.
