Despite all of Flowserve’s efforts to provide comprehensive information and instructions in this document on how to determine the various actuator levels, questions will arise. Contact Flowserve for further information before placing orders when unsure of the level of control required.
2.2 Intended use The product/system must not be operated beyond the parameters specified for the application. If there is any doubt as to the suitability of the product/system for the application intended, contact Flowserve for advice, quoting the serial number.
If the conditions of service on the purchase order change (e.g. pumping fluid, temperature, or duty conditions, etc.), it is imperative that the user seeks written agreement from Flowserve before start- Observe equipment labels, such as arrows designating the direction of rotation, warning signs, etc., and keep them in a legible condition.

LTQ008 – LTQ230 Series 3-Phase Products User Instructions – AIIOM000165 EN 3 Product Description 3.1 General Product Description a) LTQ008 – LTQ230 The LTQ008 – LTQ230 Series are quarter-turn, electric industrial service actuators delivering up to 20,350 in-lb of torque with voltages ranging from 230V to 575V 3-phase with on/off or proportional control modes. These NEMA 4X and IP67 compliant units are equipped with two volt-free Form A auxiliary switches rated at, up to, 10A 250VAC, torque switches, and a standard clutch-free, manual-override handwheel.
LTQ008 – LTQ230 Series 3-Phase Products User Instructions – AIIOM000165 EN 3.2 Shipping and Handling This actuator arrives in the fully CW (0°) position. The red/green position indicator should show all red to denote this. The actuator has a red and green position indicator on the top of the unit. The red color in the indicator window means the actuator is fully CW (0°), while the green color means the actuator is fully CCW (90°).

LTQ008 – LTQ230 Series 3-Phase Products User Instructions – AIIOM000165 EN 5.6 Torque Switches - Torque switches are factory set and are not adjustable. Changing these settings will void the actuator warranty. Torque switch operation The LTQ 008-230 Series actuators have torque switches to protect the actuator, and any attached equipment, from possible damage that could occur in a high torque event.
LTQ008 – LTQ230 Series 3-Phase Products User Instructions – AIIOM000165 EN 5.7 LTQ LL Series LCS Operation Operating the Local Control Station 1. The mode switch (right hand side) has three positions: i. STOP (center position) On/Off actuators: This position removes any ability to reposition the actuator electrically.
LTQ008 – LTQ230 Series 3-Phase Products User Instructions – AIIOM000165 EN 5.8 Adjustments This actuator arrives calibrated and tested by the factory to stop at 0° for the CW position and 90° for the CCW position. The auxiliary switch settings are based on the CW and CCW stops. Ideally, the auxiliary switches are set a few degrees in advance of the respective stop switches.
