To set Close (CW) position, rotate the actuator to the
closed position with the manual handwheel. Loosen
CLS cam and rotate clockwise until switch trips.
Retighten cam.
To set Open (CCW) position, rotate the actuator to the
open position with the manual handwheel. Loosen OLS
cam and rotate counterclockwise until switch trips.
Retighten cam.
Verify limit switch setting by operating the actuator to
each position, making sure the limit switches cams press
in the limit switch lever.

Torque Switch Setting

Torque switches are installed to prevent damaging the
valve and actuator under overload conditions. When the
actuator is under overload, an integrated torque spring
mechanism trips the torque switches to stop the actuator
immediately.
CAUTION:
o Torque switch cams and spring
mechanism are set by the factory based
on the rated actuator output torque and
should not be adjusted by the user.
Adjustment can cause damage to the
motor and gearing and will void the
warranty.
o Size -690 actuators do not contain
torque switches.

Mechanical Travel Stop Adjustment

Loosen jam nuts for both the clockwise and
counterclockwise travel stop bolts.
To set the close mechanical stop bolt, operate the
actuator clockwise to the Close (CW) position until the
CLS limit switch trips. Tighten the close travel stop bolt
until it stops on the secondary worm wheel gear, then
loosen the stop bolt back out by 3 turns. Retighten the
jam nut.

To set the open mechanical stop bolt, operate the
actuator counterclockwise to the Open (CCW) position
until the OLS limit switch trips. Tighten the open travel
stop bolt until it stops on the secondary worm wheel
gear, then loosen the stop bolt back out by 3 turns.
Retighten the jam nut.
CAUTION:
If the actuator stops by the mechanical travel
stops instead of the limit switches, the motor
may overheat and go into thermal overload.
Electrical operation will not be possible until
overload resets. Motor failure may occur if
repeatedly overheated.

Control Options

There are many control options available. Please refer to
specific control option manual or wiring diagram for
details on each specific option.
