1. Symbols and safety Dangers of non-compliance with safety regulations PSQx03 actuators are built to state-of-the-art technology and are safe to operate. Despite this, the actuators may be hazardous if operated by personnel that has not been sufficiently trained or at least instructed, and if the actuators are handled improperly, or not used as per specification.
Other notes The motor surface may have elevated temperature when servicing, inspecting or repairing it immediately after operation. Danger of burning the skin! Always observe the relevant operating instructions when fitting PS accessories or operating the actuator with PS accessories.

5. Function The electric quarter-turn actuators series PSQx03 are designed to operate valves with 90° motion. The PSQ actuators are provided with a mechanical interface according to ISO 5211 for valve mounting. The motor torque is transmitted via a spur gear onto the sun wheel of a „Wolfrom“-gear. The rotating output wheel of the „Wolfrom“-gear holds a removable drive bush to connect the actuator with the valve stem.
7. Valve mounting 7.1. Valve mounting PSQ103-1503 The PSQx03 actuators are provided with flanges according to ISO 5211 for valve mounting. Connection to the valve shaft is made with an exchangeable drive bush. Starting position: drive bush is already pre-installed in the actuator ...
8. Setting the mechanical stops There are two adjustable screws installed at the actuator / gearbox for setting the mechanical limit of the 90° motion. When setting the mechanical end positions, only the handwheel may be used. Do not operate the actuator electrically.
8.3 Adjustment of the position indicator PSQ103-1503 The position indicator is a two-coloured half ball turning under a transparent dome with blackened quarter segments. Take off the cover and turn the half ball as appropriate to adjust the position indicator. Figure 9: Adjustment of the position indicator PSQ103-1503 PSQ2003/2803 The position indicator is installed on the...

z11. Electric supply Before connecting to mains, ensure that the mains supply is isolated and secured against an accidental switching-on. The mains connecting cables must be suitably dimensioned to accept the maximum current requirement of the actuator, and correspond to IEC 227 and IEC 245. The yellow-green coloured cables may only be used for connecting to earth.

Figure 18: Electrical connection PE Two adjustable position switches are installed to limit the stroke of the actuator, and cut-off the motor current in the relative direction. Most motors have a thermal switch, depending on the actuator type, to cut off the current in both directions when a maximum temperature is reached (only at standard single phase power supply).
13.2 Spare parts PSQx03 actuators are very robust functional units. In case of malfunction or damage of any component, spare parts are available as per a separate spares price list. Please contact PS Automation GmbH or the appropriate representative. Damaged actuators can be returned to our plant in Bad Dürkheim, Germany, or to our representatives, for evaluation of failures and repair.
16. Appendix 16.1 Accessories Various accessories are available in order to adapt the actuator to the various installation conditions. The following shows a short selection. Please see the actuator data sheets for technical data. Operating and installation instructions are available separately for each accessory.
