LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 3 Product Description 3.1 General Product Description 3.1.1 LTQ008 – LTQ230 The LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series are quarter-turn, electric industrial service actuators delivering up to 440 in-lb of torque with voltages ranging from 12VAC/DC to 230V single-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, 3A 24V, and a standard clutch-free, manual-override handwheel.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 3.2 Rotation of Components Output drive rotation: All LTQ0x3 Series actuators rotate CW to move from 90° to 0°. So, when viewed from above, the output shaft (out the bottom of the actuator) will drive CW to 0º when performing the command.
All terminals accept 14 – 18 AWG solid / stranded wire. - Do not parallel wire multiple on / off actuators together without utilizing isolation relays. If this is the plan, contact Flowserve for a multiple actuator parallel wiring diagram. Page 11 of 46...
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 5 Theory of Operation 5.1 NCU On/Off Control 1. Starting with the most basic design are the NCU Series actuators. These models are designed for use with existing single-phase installations where motor control centers are already established. a.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 5.2 NCU Proportional Control 1. These models are designed to be used where there are no existing MCCs. Typically, these are used in new facilities, or where additions to existing switch gears have available space limitations or is otherwise just not feasible.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 5.3 Control Station On/Off Controls LTQ advanced stand-alone actuators are designed to be installed in new construction sites or existing sites where there are NO existing local control capabilities. These single phase and low voltage actuators have several versions that continue to add more features and options than the standard actuator range.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 5.4 Control Station Proportional Controls LTQ LB advanced stand-alone actuators are designed to be installed in new construction sites or existing sites where there are NO existing local control capabilities. These single phase and low voltage actuators have several versions that continue to add more features and options than the standard actuator range.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 5.5 LK series LCS Operation This round NEMA 4X & IP65 enclosure houses two rotary control switches that provide the user with the ability to operate the actuator in a normal (REMOTE) mode where the actuator responds to control signals from a building automation system or a PLC or other control device (by others).
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 5.6 LB series LCS Operation This round NEMA 4X & IP67 enclosure houses two rotary control knobs that provide the user with the ability to operate the actuator in a normal (REMOTE) mode where the actuator responds to control signals from a building automation system or a PLC or other control device (by others).
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 6 Battery Backup 6.1 Battery Identification The LTQ003-004 Series Battery Backup units are fitted with a battery storage enclosure mounted directly onto the actuator as shown. All wiring for the battery pack is complete and an internal disconnect for the battery system is provided. - Do NOT install battery backup units in direct sunlight.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 6.2 120/230V Transformer Mounting and Setup Power Supply: The LTQ0x3 & 0x4 Series Battery Backup units require a 100VA 24vac / 5A 24vdc power supply directly into the actuator terminal block. To facilitate various site power availability, an optional enclosure is offered which houses an appropriately sized toroidal transformer to supply the 24V power to the actuator.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 7 Adjustments This actuator arrives calibrated and tested by the factory to stop at 0° for the CW position and 90° for the CCW position. Most installations onto valves or dampers will likely not require recalibration of these settings. Mount the valve or damper.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN Adjusting End-of-Travel Cams , and 7.1.3, Adjusting Auxiliary Switch Cams. Otherwise, proceed without adjusting the cams. For most actuators, the stop positions are independent of one another – e.g., the CW position is accurate while the CCW position may need adjustment.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 7.2 Adjusting End-of-Travel Cams - Allowing the motor to drive the gear train beyond its 0 – 90° travel arc will result in severe damage to the actuator! Remove power from this device before making any travel adjustments.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 7.3 Adjusting Auxiliary Switch Cams - Allowing the motor to drive the gear train beyond its 0 – 90° travel arc will result in severe damage to the actuator! Remove power from this device before making any travel adjustments.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN 7.4 Proportional Control Setup During the initial setup, before changing the actuator rotation, ensure that the sector gear set screws (qty 2) are loose enough to allow the sector gear / potentiometer pinion gear to rotate freely by hand.
LTQ0x3 – LTQ0x4 Series User Instructions – AIIOM000166 EN With the sector gear set screws loosened as described, lift the sector gear so it is not meshed with the pinion gear. Place the actuator gear train in the fully CW (0°) position. ...
