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.

Symbols used and safety General dangers in case of non-observance of the safety instructions The PSF-M-Ex actuators are built according to the latest state of the art and are operationally safe. Nevertheless, hazards can arise from the actuators if they are not used by trained or at least instructed personnel and/or are used improperly or for purposes other than those for which they are intended.
Notice of hazards The following hazard symbols are used in these instructions: Attention! There are general hazards that can lead to property and/or personal injury. Caution! Life threatening electrical voltages may be present! There is a risk of material damage and/or personal injury with danger to life.
• Assembly/disassembly, operating and maintenance work may only be carried out by suitable skilled personnel familiar with the work. All generally applicable legal regulations and other binding guidelines for work safety, accident prevention and environmental protection must be complied with. •...

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 12.2).
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 12.2). To reach the manual override, the screw plugs must be opened.
9.1 Valve mounting for cut-off by force at extended actuator stem Initial position: Valve stem is retracted, actuator stem is extended 1. Put actuator onto the bracket. 2. Remove the coupling pin and screw the coupling 13 mm on the valve stem. There must be a 1 mm gap between the pillars and the bracket.
Opening: Hexagon socket screw First loosen all screws with a suitable screwdriver, then unscrew them completely from the gearbox housing. The screws are loss-proof. Remove the hood carefully so as not to damage the seal. Closing: Place the cover on the gearbox housing and press lightly. Lightly tighten all the screws, then tighten them crosswise.
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 The protective earth line is connected at the point marked PE on the actuator.

• The actuator can be moved manually with buttons B1 and B2 until the desired open-end position of the valve is reached. • The calibration of the two end positions is started and saved by pressing B1 and B2 simultaneously for at least 3 seconds.
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.
