J4C SERIES ‐ MODEL 20, 35 , 55, 85, 140 & 300 5.‐ EMERGENCY MANUAL OVERRIDE FACILITY: The J4C has 2 operating modes, automatic and manual , the required mode is selected by using a lever on the lower half of the actuator housing (Fig 7). The 2 positions are marked: AUTO = Automatic operation MAN = Manual operation Warning: Do not remove the selector lever securing screw, as this will allow its internal mechanism to become loose and will cause irreparable damage to the actuator’s gearbox. Removing this screw will invalidate the warranty. When “AUTO” position is selected: The hand wheel, of models 20,35,55, and 85 rotates automatically, it is very important not to block it, otherwise the actuator could suffer unrepairable damages. ...

Adjustment of the cams Under normal conditions, the actuator may only be operated with the closed cover. If work is performed on the actuator with the removed cover, the supply and control voltage must first be disconnected. Adjustments, which need to be done in the energized state, should be carried out with special insulated tools. How to do it: Tolling: One special plastic wrench (is supplied together with the actuator). The wrench is tied together with the motor by using one plastic clamp. To move the cams, introduce the special plastic wrench in the hole of the cam and turn it round (see both options on the enclosed pictures). ...

GUARANTEE J+J actuators are warranted against defects of workmanship or assembly as follows: J4C S/B Series: up to 60.000 working cycles or 3 years from their shipment date. Working conditions of a 75% of duty. Max number of 50 limiter function activations, within 3 years of the warranty period. OUR WARRANTY INCLUDES SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS IN OUR WORKSHOP OR IN THE PLACEMENT OF THE INSTALLATION, AND DOES NOT COVER INDEMNIFICATIONS OR OTHER EXPENSES. The warranty will be void if the device has been open, if the defects are the result of the misuse or if our products have been handled, repaired or modified outside our workshop or have been installed with materials or by methods not in accordance with our STANDARDS. The party alleging the existence of a defect of workmanship shall accredit the suitable ...

General advise: Transportation: The transport 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. Entry 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: Store the actuators in well ventilated, dry rooms. They must be protected 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 department. ...

Safety notes: 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. 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. Mounting: ‐Switch off all equipment, machinery, equipment which is affected by the installation or repair and ...
Installation: Environment: 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 ...

Installation: Mounting of the valve The valves shall be designed according to interface DIN3337/IS05211. All 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 of the actuator wave socket The insertion depth of the valves square socket to be assembled to the actuators double square socket should be always less than or equal to the insertion depth d actuator. As a rule of thumb for planners of octagon and adaption is at least: lnsertion depth = size of the specified double squares Should this not be considered, it may cause a malfunction or even damage of the actuator. Recommendatlon: lf possible, use headless screws with nuts and washers for the construction of the valve, so raising the ...

FAQ: The actuator moves and then stops. The operating LED flashes red or green (see status LED). »» High torque on the valve due to not removed end stops or solids in the valve. Valve must be checked! »» Model size of the actuator is too small. The actuator is in position „open“ but the valve is closed or half opened. »» Actuator is mounted on the valve with a wrong angle. Dismount, turn the actuator in manual mode to correct angle, mount it. The limit switches for end position feedback do not work. »» Check the wiring. Check the adjustment of the cams so that they trigger shortly before reaching the end position. »» In load‐free interrogation of the limit switch, soot is formed inside. Actuator with gold contact switches are to be used. The actuator moves, but the valve does not. »» The connection between actuator and valve is damaged or incorrectly dimensioned. For other malfunctions, please contact our technical service department. ...
