Mechanical Default Settings, Preparation (Only For Design Potentiometer For Travel) - SCHIEBEL AB3 Operating Instructions Manual

5 Commisioning
• Only switch to manual operation when the motor is idle!
• Hand lever has a slewing angle of approximately 15°, therefore release the hand lever immediately upon
activation!
Special approach to switching to manual mode for actuator types AB100, AB200 and AB500 is necessary. In
case of such an actuator, follow the steps listed below.
1. Push the hand lever away from the handwheel and simultaneously move the handwheel in any direction
to engage the clutch. The clutch is enganged when the hand lever don't move back automatically and
the handwheel is stronger to move.
2. After the clutch is engaged, the hand lever must be pulled back to the handwheel one single time to fix
the position of the clutch.
3. The actuator is now in manual operation mode. Switch back to normal operation mode happens auto-
matically by starting the motor. Switching back to the normal operation mode is not possible with
the hand lever!

5.3 Mechanical default settings, preparation (only for design potentiometer for travel)

Instructions:
• Switch with the hand lever to manual operation (see section 5.2, page 15) and turn the actuator with the
handwheel to the next end position
• Remove cover of the signalling unit
• Switch with the control switch (black switch) to the status menu S4 (see Operating Instructions for SMART-
CON Control Units)
• For units without mechanical position indicator turn the slotted shaft (see Figure 20) with a screwdriver
carefully until the below value is reached (see Figure 23)
– when the actuator in in the closed position: Pos: 10.0
– when the actuator is in the open position: Pos: 90.0
• For units with mechanical position indicator turn the wheel (see Figure 21 and Figure 22) until the below
value is reached (see Figure 23)
– when the actuator in in the closed position: Pos: 10.0
– when the actuator is in the open position: Pos: 90.0
• Close cover of the signalling unit. Take special care upon reassembly so that seals are not damaged and
remain properly fastened
