Mounting and supported as shown in the image to the Bracket right. The mounting bracket is not supplied by Hanbay. Cable Entry Exceptionally, the actuator may be suspended on the tubing itself but ONLY if the application is vibration free and the tubing is minimum ¼” dia.
The potential of the external GND after the sensing resistor may not be more than +6 VDC / -2 VDC away from the power GND of the actuator. This feedback signal output is only available in HANBAY MCx-xxxAF model actuators. Page 3 of 13 www.hanbayinc.com | 1 800 315 4461...
User Manual MCx-xxxAx-8.09 OPERATION DIP switches The DIP switches allow you to change the settings on your actuator. To flip a switch, gently use a small flat-head screwdriver. See the table below for DIP switch functionality. In this example DIPs 1, 2, 5 and 12 are on. Function Speed: Choose how quickly the actuator will turn the drive wheel.
User Manual MCx-xxxAx-8.09 Changing the number of turns With the DIP switch settings, you can adjust anything between 1 and 31 turns to represent the full signal range of 4-20 mA. Check in the table below. (1 = “On”, 0 = “Off”) Total Turns For more turns, set DIP 4 to the ON position.
User Manual MCx-xxxAx-8.09 Torque Settings Seating power settings: To accommodate different valves and other applications with (when operating at 24 VDC) different torque requirements, the actuator can be set to apply different torque on the valve stem when in the seating mode.

User Manual MCx-xxxAx-8.09 Signal Loss and Calibration 1. For actuators that are not connected to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), the loss of signal will be simultaneous with power loss. Consequently, the actuator will not be able to move anywhere. In the shutdown process, the actual position is automatically saved to the internal EEPROM.
A sticking valve may be the problem. Remove the valve from the actuator, and re-test the actuator. Remove power. Re-check the wiring and the power/signal apparatus. Power actuator and re-calibrate. If the problem persists, please call Hanbay for technical support. Page 9 of 13 www.hanbayinc.com | 1 800 315 4461...
