Any device modification requires prior written consent of the manufacturer. 1.2 Range of application AUMA PF-M part-turn actuators are designed for the operation of industrial valves, e.g. butterfly valves and ball valves. Other applications require explicit (written) confirmation by the manufacturer.

Transport and storage 4 Transport and storage 4.1 Transport Suspended load! DANGER Death or serious injury. à Do NOT stand below suspended load. à Attach ropes or hooks for the purpose of lifting by hoist only to housing and NOT to handwheel.
Assembly 5 Assembly 5.1 Mounting position The described product can be operated without restriction in any mounting position. 5.2 Ball handle to handwheel: fit To avoid transport damage, the ball handle is mounted upside down at the handwheel. Prior to commissioning, mount the ball handle in the correct position. 1.
Assembly 5.3.2 Actuator (with coupling): mount Unbored couplings or couplings with pilot bore must be machined to match the valve shaft prior to mounting the actuator to the valve (e.g. with bore and keyway, two-flat or square bore). Threads may neither be modified nor damaged. NOTICE Loss of tensile strength of screws when reworking the threads! Mount valve and actuator in same end position.

Commissioning Exposed, rotating parts (discs/balls) at the valve! CAUTION Pinching and damage by valve or actuator. à End stops should be set by suitably qualified personnel only. à Never completely remove the setting screws [2] and [4] to avoid grease leakage. à...
Commissioning 3. If the valve end position is not reached: Slightly turn setting screw counterclock- wise until valve end position CLOSED can be correctly set. ð Turning the setting screw [4] clockwise decreases the swing angle. ð Turning the setting screw [4] counterclockwise increases the swing angle. Figure 20: Setting screws 4.
Commissioning The end positions may also be set using the AUMA Assistant App or the AUMA CDT software. When setting the end positions, the actuator acts in accordance with the selected type of seating: Limit seating The final position of the end position is set to the exact current position. Once the final position is reached, the actuator switches off.

Operation 8 Operation 8.1 Manual operation The following description applies for clockwise closing standard version. Separate instructions are available for counterclockwise special version. The handwheel allows actuator operation even in case of power failure. Handwheel operation is only provided for occasional manual valve operation. The handwheel does not rotate during motor operation.
Functions Alternatively, actuator operation is possible using the “AUMA Assistant App” smart- phone application or via the AUMA CDT software. The following table shows an over- view of the menus of the AUMA Assistant App and the AUMA CDT software.

Operation Default setting: Operation mode = REMOTE The actuator only reacts to the currently selected command source. However, the command source can be changed during running operation. The OPEN/CLOSE operation is performed via the digital inputs. Setpoint control (e.g. for modulating duty) can be made via the analogue inputs or the fieldbus.
