Shipping and Handling

1. This actuator is shipped in the FULLY CW (position indicator shows "CLOSE")
position.
2. THIS ACTUATOR MUST HAVE WATER TIGHT HAZARDOUD LOCATION EMT
FITTINGS WITH CONDUIT DRAINAGE INSTALLED AND POWER SUPPLIED
TO UNIT TO KEEP THE HEATER WARM AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION.
3. Storage: This unit should NOT be stored outside unless it is powered up
and has proper conduit terminations. When NOT powered up, it should be
stored in a clean, dry environment at all times.
4. This actuator has been factory calibrated to operate between 0 degrees and
90 degrees. Most quarter-turn products will not require recalibration of
these settings. If any travel adjustment is necessary, please refer to pages 5
& 6 for instructions.

Product Mounting and Setup

1. Note: This design utilizes NO MECHANICAL stops. It is recommended that you do NOT use the manual override
until the actuator is mounted to a valve or damper that has 90 degree limited travel.
2. Fully CLOSE the valve or damper to which the actuator is to be mounted.
Keep in mind this actuator rotates CW (as viewed from above the unit) when driving CLOSED.
3. Assemble necessary linkage components and attach the actuator to the driven device.
4. Tighten mounting bolts, making sure actuator is centered on the device drive shaft.
5. Utilize the manual override (8mm hex output drive on bottom of actuator) to check for unobstructed manual operation
from fully CW to fully CCW positions BEFORE applying power to the unit.
Warning: DO NOT operate manual override when power is present. Geartrain damage
and personal injury may occur.
Do not use powered tools to turn the manual override -- it will DAMAGE the gear train or
motor and VOID the warranty.
6. Make the electrical connections per wiring diagram on page 6.
For operation only four connections are needed. The balance of the connections are used for options and features.
Terminals A, B & C are an aux switch for the open position (adjustable).
Terminals A, E & F are an aux switch for the closed position (adjustable).
Both Switches above share a common terminal "A". Terminals A-F on the switch card are for the (adjustable) aux
switches. They are dry type Form C rated 3A @ 250vac MAX.
7. Do NOT apply power at this time.

Installation Notes

There are no mechanical stops on this model.
These actuators are designed to be used in either a horizontal or upright position. Do NOT mount the assembly with
the actuator top below a horizontal position.
When installing conduit, use proper techniques for entry into the actuator. Use drip loops to prevent conduit condensate
from entering the actuator.
Both NPT conduit ports MUST use proper equipment to protect the NEMA 4X integrity of the housing.
The internal heater is to be used in ALL applications.
Do NOT install the actuator outdoors or in humid environments unless it is powered up and the heater is functioning.
Use proper wire size to prevent actuator failure (see chart on page 4 for proper wire sizing).
All terminals accept 14-18AWG solid/stranded wire.
Do NOT parallel wire multiple actuators together without utilizing isolation relays! If this is your intention,
please contact ProMation Engineering for a multiple actuator parallel wiring diagram.
