5 Installation Fig. 3: Installation position depending on actuator type Actuator type EA-B 12 Actuator types EA-C 20 to EA-C 140 and EA-C 3-point Install the actuator with sufficient clearance for removal. (ð Section 5.2, Page 15) 5.4 Manual override A handwheel (actuator type EA-C) or hexagon socket (actuator type EA-B) is provided for operating the actuator in the event of a power failure or for making settings when mounting the actuator on the valve.
5 Installation CAUTION Manual operation of actuator Damage to the actuator and the valve! ▷ Do not operate the actuator manually when the motor is in the electric actuation mode. The actuator will try to compensate for the deviation in position, depending on the actuation mode.
5 Installation 6. Slide the locking device (10) down again until it will not go any further, locking the connection between the coupling (7) and the valve stem (9). 7. Position the tabs of the position indicator (8) such that they abut the coupling (7).
5 Installation 5.6 Mounting actuator type EA-C 20 to 140 5.6.1 Fitting the actuator ü The actuator has been de-energised. ü The actuator is in the middle position. 1. Unscrew the four hexagon head bolts (7) from the actuator coupling. 2. Slide the coupling disc (5) over the end of the stem (6). 3.
5 Installation 5.6.2 Electrical connection DANGER Electrical connection work by unqualified personnel Danger of death from electric shock! ▷ Always have the electrical connections installed by a trained and qualified electrician. ▷ Observe regulations IEC 60364. DANGER Work performed on an energised terminal box Danger of death from electric shock! ▷...

5 Installation 6. Mechanically secure the power cable and control cable before the terminals to prevent loosening. 7. Tighten the cable gland. 8. Mount the terminal box cover and fasten it with screws. ð Only tighten the screws until resistance can be felt. Terminal box under the actuator cover (handwheel on top - on 230 V and 400 V 3- point actuators) ü...
5 Installation 5.6.3 Mains connection DANGER Unintentional contact with live parts Danger of death from electric shock! ▷ De-energise the mains connection. ▷ Take steps to ensure that the mains connection cannot be re-energised unintentionally. CAUTION Improper electrical connection Damage to the actuator! ▷...
5 Installation Actual process value for process controller (optional) Terminals 15 to 17 serve to connect the parameterisable actual process value via 4-20 mA 15 16 17 or 0/2-10 V signals supplied by the process sensor, if the optional process controller in the actuator is used.
5 Installation The heating resistor inside the actuator is powered by the actuator's power supply, i.e. separate mains connection is not required. When retrofitting the heating resistor, connect it to the terminals on the mainboard as shown. Mount the heating resistor on the mounting plate in the position shown, using the screws supplied.
5 Installation ① Stem nut retracting (Open) ② Stem nut extending (Close) Locking screw Gear screw ③ ④ 5.6.7 Operation Operation status indication/ Status LEDs inside the terminal box Operating elements Inside the terminal box, a red (1) and a green (2) LED indicate the operation and fault status, respectively.
6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown 6 Commissioning/Start-up/Shutdown 6.1 Prerequisites for commissioning/start-up NOTE Never operate the actuator electrically or pneumatically before it has been mounted onto a valve. Before commissioning/starting up the drive, make sure the following conditions are met: ▪ The actuator has been properly mounted and aligned. ▪...
