User Manual RCx-B-xxxAx-8.09 INSTALLATION Mounting The holes indicated in the image are intended for a mounting bracket. They are threaded for ¼-20 and are 0.4” deep. The other two visible holes are threaded 10-32, 0.50” deep, and are intended to be used to lock the lid in position with screws. For detailed dimensions see p.13.

User Manual RCx-B-xxxAx-8.09 The voltage transformer holder (white plastic part, see image below) will have to be unscrewed to access the terminal block on the circuit board for wiring. It is easiest to remove the central screw and loosen the other, then rotate the holder out of the way.
User Manual RCx-B-xxxAx-8.09 Wiring for Non-Explosion Proof actuators The actuator comes standard with a pre-installed cable gland and a 10’ cable. Cut the cable to the length required, then connect according to the following wire color schematic: Wire color schematic for cable Colour Function Red (1)
RCx-B-xxxAx RCx-AC-B-xxxAB basic models. External If your signal Gnd. is different from Internal 4-20 mA Power Gnd. use HANBAY RCx-B-xxxAI or RCx-B-xxxAF model Sensing actuators. resistor NOTE 3: DO NOT CONNECT pin 4 directly or through a multimeter only to ground.
User Manual RCx-B-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 valve.
User Manual RCx-B-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 RCx-B-xxxAx-8.09 Torque Settings To accommodate different valves and other applications Seating power settings: with different torque requirements, the actuator can be set DIP 10 DIP 11 Power to apply different torque on the valve stem when in the seating mode.

User Manual RCx-B-xxxAx-8.09 Signal Loss and Calibration 1. In the event of a power loss, the battery fail-safe model will move to its designated fail-position. This position is programmed at the factory (based on user request) and cannot be changed in the field. IF YOU HAVE TO turn the actuator manually when its power is turned off, it will lose its position, and it will need to be re-zeroed (as described in sub-section 3).
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 11 of 18 www.hanbayinc.com | 1 800 315 4461...
User Manual RCx-B-xxxAx-8.09 Battery Fail Safe Function 1. In the event of a loss of power or signal, the battery will maintain power to the P1 processor and trigger the actuator to move the valve to its designated fail-safe position, using power from the battery.
