To protect the valve, an overload protection is available as option for manual opera-
tion. If the torque applied at the handwheel exceeds a certain value (refer to order-re-
lated technical data sheet), the shear pins will rupture and thus protect the valve from
damage. The handwheel can no longer transmit the torque (= handwheel is spinning).
Motor operation is still possible. In case of shear pin rupture due to overload, imperat-
ively replace the safety hub.

(standard)
Valve damage due to incorrect setting!
à Perform all commissioning settings and the test run prior to motor operation.
Actuator controls are required to operate an actuator during motor operation. An addi-
tional local control unit must be provided if local actuator operation is required.
2. To close the valve, switch on motor operation in direction CLOSE.
ð Valve shaft turns counterclockwise in direction CLOSE.
