Conduit entries are available in the lower section of the housing for inserting the electrical cables. The construction, as well as the interaction of the individual components and the housing regarding their suitability for use in hazardous areas, are tested by PS Automation GmbH and confirmed by the identification with the type label.

Installation The conductor must be connected carefully at the terminal points so that the individual wires are not damaged. The maximum connection data on the type plate and the applicable documents must be taken into consideration. The device must be integrated into a suitable earthing or equipotential bonding system before commissioning, a connection part (4 mm²) is available for this purpose on the underside of the actuator.
8. Manual override and setting of the DIP switches 8.1 Setting the actuators during commissioning (hood open) When commissioning the actuators, the hood must be opened. The hood may only be opened in non-hazardous areas and only in a dry environment (see chapter 10 for instructions). To actuate the actuator during setting work (valve assembly and end position setting), an electrical manual override by means of a push button is available (for operation, see chapter 12.3).
8.2 Setting the actuators during operation (hood closed) To actuate the actuator during setting work in potentially explosive atmospheres (end position setting), an electrical manual override by means of a push button is provided in the hood (for conditions see chapter 12.3). To reach the manual override, the screw plugs must be opened.
10. Opening and closing the hood The hood may only be opened in non-hazardous areas and only in a dry environment. Take appropriate ESD handling precautions before opening the housing: Earth the actuator. Touch earthed housing parts before opening the hood. Opening: Hexagon socket screw...
11. Electric supply 11.1 Safety instructions During the connection of the mains voltage, this must be disconnected and secured against unintended reactivation. The actuator hood must be opened for the electrical connection (see chapter 10). The mains connection cables must be designed for the nominal current of the actuator. Yellow-green coloured wiring shall be used only for connecting the protective earth connections.
11.2 Connection diagram Figure 7 shows the electrical connection for standard drives. The wiring diagram in the actuator is binding for the connection. For the connection of optional accessories, please refer to the respective operating instructions. Figure 7: Electrical connection Figure 8: Connection for potential equalisation PE earth connection has to be connected to gear casing at The connection for equipotential bonding is made at the external equipotential bonding connection...

12.6 Manual commissioning (see also chapter 12.3) Check that the gland between the valve and the actuator is secure. To activate the individual calibration, press button B1 > at least 7 seconds. The actuator can be moved manually with buttons B1 and B2 until the desired open-end position of the valve is reached.
13. Operation The operator of an electrical system in a potentially explosive environment must keep the equipment in proper condition, operate it properly, monitor it and carry out maintenance and repair work. See also IEC 60079-17/IEC 60079-19. During operation, all internal parameters, such as the required motor torque and the current position, as well as the operating states of the actuator are continuously monitored.
13.2 Valve curve Switch position S2-10 can be used to select the relationship between the set value and the actuator position. Two curves are available. With the linear valve curve, the actuator position in % corresponds to the set value in %. The "Quick Opening Curve"...
15. Maintenance and servicing The actuators are maintenance-free under the operating conditions specified in the data sheet. The gearboxes are lubricated for life and do not require relubrication. Attention! During maintenance and servicing, the actuator must not be operated electrically. Personnel carrying out work and maintenance and servicing must be skilled and familiar with the work.
16. Decommissioning and disposal Disconnect the mains connection and secure it against accidental reactivation. Open the hood. Remove external connections. Remove the actuator from the valve. Disposal The actuator is considered waste from electrical and electronic equipment and shall not be disposed of as household waste.
