8.3 Manual mode
Manually changing the stem position
The manual adjuster can be used to move the actuator stem to the required position when the
actuator is in the de-energized state. A manual adjustment of the stem position only makes
sense when the power supply is switched off as the stem position is determined by the
actuator in closed-loop operation, meaning any manual adjustment would be automatically
corrected by the actuator.
The stem position is changed at the manual adjuster (see Fig. 8-1):
Î Switch off the supply voltage.
Î Turn clockwise
The actuator stem extends (approx. four turns for 1 mm travel).
Î Turn counterclockwise
The actuator stem retracts (approx. four turns for 1 mm travel).
