3.1.4 Duty Cycle * Duty cycle rated IEC60034 – S4 50% / S2 30min Exceeding the actuator’s rated duty cycle may cause thermal overload. Note *1 Type of duty according to VDE 0530 / IEC 60034-1 Short – time duty S2 Intermittent duty S4 The operation time at a constant load is short, The duty is a sequence of identical cycles...
HL is a totally enclosed unit with a permanently lubricated gear train (Moly EP Grease). Once installed lubrication should not be required. However, periodic preventative maintenance will extend the operating life of the actuator.

The actuator Union joint is removable for ease of machining. Caution ; Do not attempt to work on your HKC actuator without first shutting off incoming power. Do not attach ropes or hooks to the hand wheel for the purpose of lifting by hoist.
4.2.1 Actuator Mounting Details If the linear actuator and the valve are supplied separately you will have to mount the linear actuator on the valve. Union nut Joint ring Guide rod nut(2ea) C 13...
4.2.2 Preparing assembly Warning : A non-attached valve causes damage! If you operate the linear actuator without valve, the spindle nut may fall off due to the missing stop. ATTENTION • Always operate the linear actuator with a valve attached. Allow for about 200 mm space above the cover at the site of installation.
Limit Switch Setting Rotate the actuator hand wheel manually to closed position Using a hex wrench, loosen the set screw in the CLOSE limit switch cam Rotate the CLOSE cam towards CW limit switch lever until the switch ‘clicks’ (Fig 1) ...
Once actuator is under overload, force switch is tripped and actuator stoped immediately. The force switches are set by manufacturer on the production site basically. Re-setting be necessary, please contact the HKC service or representative before setting. Caution ;...

Proportional Control Unit – PCU (option) *Thanks for purchasing our Hl series electric actuator. Before installing or operating actuator, please read to this manual to know thoroughly how to install or operator. The contents in this manual is subject to change due to the quality improvement without individual notice.
4.6.2 General performance PCU is the local actuator controller, using 12bit A/D converter and 8 bits Microprocessor, which operate actuator to open and close according to the input signal from main controller. After operating actuator, detect the current position of actuator and transmit feedback output signal about current position to the main controller.
4.6.4 Function of PCU and how to set and to use it 1) Selecting of input signal User can select suitable input signal by adjusting DIP switches as follows. 2) Setting of fail position In order to prevent big trouble when input signal is failed, user can set the fail Position of actuator by setting of DIP switch as follows.

Resolution Adjustmet This is set allowance between input signal and position of actuator and if turn this to clockwise, it is getting wider. Vice versa. Please be careful when turn this to counter-clockwise because if it us too Narrow, it could be the reason of “HUNTING”. HUNTING is that actuator dosen’t stop at a position and repeat to move to Manual operation by PCU card, In order to operate actuator by card, press ZERO and SPAN buttons together...

Current Position Transmitter The potentiometer used for the actuator signal feedback The potentiometer reads the actuator’s current position and transfers a resistance value to a current position transmitter card. The CPT indicates the actuator position throughout the stroke by a 4~20mA output signal. 4.7.1 Standard Features Model Power...
Operation Instruction Electrical Connections and Preliminary Test Warning ; When working in potentially explosive areas, observe the European Standards EN 60079-14 “Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas” and EN 60079-17 “Inspection and Maintenance of Electrical Installations in Hazardous Areas”. Work on the electrical system or equipment must only be carried out by a skilled electrician himself or by specially instructed personnel under the control and supervision of such an electrician and in accordance with the applicable electrical engineering rules.
Danger ; HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. No electrical power should be connected until all wiring and limit switch adjustments have been completely. Once power is supplied to unit, exercise caution if cover is not installed. NOTE: More information, refers to the Appendix Ⅱ. Maintenance Maintenance Caution :...
