MC89 ELECTRIC SERIES Instruction manual modec 0 kit guarantees ease, speed and safety when handling underground valves in the water industry. This kit includes accessories thought, designed and produced for operations on your water system. The MC89 battery-powered portable valve actuator contained in this kit is extremely compact and lightweight, with a torque of up to more than 850 Nm.
Updates will be available on our website www. modec.fr. It is important to refer to the website before setting up or using the actuator, and before carrying out maintenance. Any modifications made to the actuators or their accessories must be approved in writing by modec.
Have the tool serviced by a qualified repairer using only modec products when changing • parts. Only use valve accessories recommended and approved by modec. Think to consult the • accessory list provided and/or seek advice from modec for specific uses.
Please also follow any additional regulations that may apply. Storing the actuator modec actuators must be stored in a dry and correctly ventilated environment to ensure there is no corrosion of the internal mechanic parts.
2- Fixation ring to fix a strap for handling and carrying: Not for torque management. 3- Flange: enables the attachment of all modec heads, adaptors and torque systems. 4- Left/right switch – to choose rotational direction of the actuator.

Start charging: Before use, the cable must be completely unwound from the recess (1-5). Insert the charger mains plug in the socket. Push the battery pack (1-2) into the charging station (1-1) Meaning of the LEDs: Then, the charge status display (1-4) on the charger initially changes to the yellow LED (« self- check») and then indicates the operating condition of the charger: ...
Charge the battery pack before any further use. Do not continue until complete discharge. After the portable actuator has switched off automatically, do not press the on/off button, this could damage the battery pack.

Setting up and use the water kit General info The actuator must be kept stable while turning the valve or handwheel. modec Portable Valve Actuators can be used in any position. However, to ensure the operator is working safely and in the best conditions, it is imperative that the actuator is used in the axis of the handwheel being activated.

5. Attach the torque management system to the front of the portable valve actuator using the two spring loaded pullers. Note: The BA012 torque management system is only valid up to a maximum torque of 350 N.m. It varies according to the nature of the soil (loose earth or bitumen) and the weight of the operator.
Check again the direction of the torque retention. In case of resistance resulting from deposits on the stem, turn the valve in both directions several times to ‘clean’ it. modec revolution counter (optional) enables you to always know which position the valve is in.
Revolution counter (option) PRESENTATION The digital Revolution counter adds up the revolutions in one direction and subtracts them in the other direction in such a way that the operator always knows where he is in relation to the initial set-up. The tool also measures and shows the rotational speed.
400 hours or at least once a month. Maintenance operation Weekly Yearly or as needed Check and service the actuator by a registered modec distributor Replace the Revolution counter battery (option) Check the torque limiter by a registered modec distributor...
