1. Symbols and safety General dangers of non-compliance with safety regulations PS-AMS PSQ actuators are built at state-of the art technology and are safe to operate. Despite of 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 temperature may rise when maintaining, inspecting and repairing the actuator immediately after the operation. There is a danger of burning the skin! Always consult the relevant operating instructions when mounting PS accessories or operating the actuator with PS accessories.

5. Operating Principle The quarter-turn actuators PS-AMS PSQ are designed for the use as electric valve actuators. Mounting to the valve is done by a mounting flange as per ISO5211, plus an exchangeable drive bushing with an inside contour as per the valve shaft.
Caution! The handwheel should not be used in ongoing motor operation, as the actuator tries to compensate the deviation in position, depending on the operating mode selected. If a fail-safe unit type PSCP (option) is installed, the handwheel can’t be used, as the actuator drives back to the failsafe position.
7.3 Valve Mounting PSQ2003/2803AMS The PS-AMS PSQ actuators are provided with flange F16 according to ISO 5211 for valve mounting. Connection to the valve shaft is made with a 55 mm double square. Delivery of the actuator includes two components: the gearbox and the actuator itself (already pre-mounted).
8.2 Wiring Arrangements Depending on order specification, the PS-AMS PSQ are supplied with two different wiring arrangements. Wiring to the Main Board: Electric wiring is made to terminals on the main board inside the actuator. Accordingly, the cover has to be opened for wiring. Wiring to Terminal Box: Electric wiring is made inside a separate box mounted to the actuator.

Caution: Close cover and cable glands properly to ensure enclosure as per the specified rating (IP67 or IP68). 8.3.2 Input Terminals 8.3.2.1 Set-Value Terminals 1 through 3 are used to receive a parameterisable modulating set-value for control operation within the range of 0-20 mA or 0-10V.
8.3.3.4 Fault Indication Relay This potential-free relay contact allows to display adjustable fault indication to the control room with a maximum load of 24 VDC/100 mA. See instruction manual for software PSCS. Main board: terminals 7 + 8 Terminal box: terminals 20 + 21 8.3.4 Fieldbus interface (optional) Optionally a fieldbus interface can be fitted to the AMS-actuator, with wiring to a terminal block or an external socket.
8.4.2 Adjusting Additional Position Switches (optional) For PS-AMS PSQ two switches for position feedback are available as factory-mounted option. They are available with silver contacts (for currents between 10 mA and 5 A at maximum 230 V). Special switches with gold plated contacts for low power (up to 100 mA and 30V) are available on request.
9.3 Communication Port Communication and parameterising via computer is done using a special communication cable to a RJ45 port socket. All actuator parameters are adjustable using the communication software PSCS. -> See operating instruction PSCS. Figure 21: Communication port 10. Operation All internal parameters, like required motor torque, actual position, functional status, etc., are being permanently monitored during operation of the actuator PS-AMS.
11. Commissioning The actuator is shipped in the „not commissioned“ condition with the green LED flashing slowly. There will be no response to any input (set value or open/close signal). To make the actuator operational, it has to be commissioned to a valve.
11.1.1 Adjusting the Mechanical Stops PSQ103-1503AMS Shown is the adjustment of a mechanical stop in closing direction for a valve closing clockwise. When adjusting a mechanical stop, drive the actuator only by handwheel, not electrically! Remove the protection cap (Figure 22, item 3) from either stop screw. ...
11.1.3 Commissioning Procedure Ensure that all mechanical and electrical Commissioning button connections have been made properly. Switch on power supply. Unscrew the side cap for the actuator’s main cover and press the commissioning button with an insulating pin for about 3 seconds. Figure 24: Commissioning button Caution! The actuator will now travel through the full valve...
11.1.4 Unscrewing the Mechanical Stop Only at valves without mechanical stop in closed position: In normal operation, the actuators PS-AMS PSQ Allen key should not stop repeatedly by hitting a mechanical stop inside the actuator. In case a mechanical stop inside the actuator has been adjusted for “Cut-off by Position automatically”, after finishing the commissioning this stop screw has to be unscrewed by one full...
11.2 Manual Commissioning If both cut-offs are selected to be „by position“, the actuator must be commissioned manually using the software PSCS or the control box PSC. Mount the actuator to a valve, wire it and switch the power on, according to these instructions. Permanently apply the set-value for the closed position, or the input signal „close“.
14. Safety on Transportation For transportation and storage all cable glands and connection flanges have to be closed to prevent ingress of moisture and dirt. A suitable method of packaging is required for transporting to avoid damage of coating and any external parts of the actuator.
