1. Symbols and safety General dangers of non-compliance with safety regulations PS-AMS PSL 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.
PS-AMS PSL208-214 PS-AMS PSL208-214 PS-AMS PSL320-325 PS-AMS PSL202-204 (Stroke 1.97 in.) (Stroke 2.56 in.) Figure 1: Dimensional data 4.1 Installation position Outdoor usage: When using the actuators in environments with high temperature fluctuations or high humidity, we recommend using a heating resistor as well as a higher enclosure rating (optional accessories).
6. Manual operation The actuators are supplied with a loosely enclosed handwheel in order to operate the actuator in case of power loss or during installation work such as mounting onto a valve or setting the limit positions. Mount the handwheel according to Figure 3.
7. Valve mounting 7.1 PS-AMS PSL202-214 Note: The pictures below show the mounting of a PS-AMS PSL204. The steps are identical for all types. When mounting the actuator onto the valve, use the handwheel and do not drive the actuator electrically. If these instructions are not observed, it may result in personal injury or damage to the actuator and/or valve.

7.3 Force/Stroke-Dependent Limit Switch Cut-Off Figure 6: Standard disc spring coupling The different methods of arranging the discs are dependent on the type of valve. Three different methods are possible: A: Arrangement for a through-valve with "Valve stem retracting" as direction of closing (Figure 6). B: Arrangement for a 3-way valve (Figure 6).
8. Cover removal Please observe the label on the cover of the actuator. Attention! Observe precautions for handling. Ground the actuator. Before opening the cover, touch grounded housing parts. PS-AMS PSL202 – PS-AMS PSL210 (IP65) Remove the handwheel by loosening it. Pull the cover upwards.
Yellow-and-green coded cords may only be used for connection to protective earth. When leading wires through the conduit entries on the actuator, their minimum bending radius has to be considered. The electric actuators PS-AMS PSL are not fitted with an internal electric isolator, hence a switching device or circuit breaker must be integrated in the facility.
9.3 Mains supply 9.3.1 Mains supply 1-phase AC/DC Electrical connection work may only be carried out by an authorised professional. Isolate the power supply. Safeguard the line against unauthorized and unintended restarting. Open the terminal box. The terminal box provides terminals to accommodate rigid and flexible cables of wire widths of 0.00022 in.²...
9.3.2 Mains supply PS-AMS PSL320/325 with integrated local control station PSC.2 Isolate the power supply. Safeguard the line against unauthorized and unintended restarting. Open the cover of the local control station PSC.2. Figure 9: Opening the cover Feed the cable trough the conduit entries in the inner room of the cover.
Figure 12: Wiring diagram with local control PSC.2 or terminal box for 3-phase AC 9.4 Interfaces The actuator PS-AMS PSL has several interfaces inside the terminal box which can be configured by the parameterizing software PSCS or by the local control station PSC.2 (see relevant manuals). 9.4.1 Communication interface For communication and parameterization with a PC or a hand-held device, connect the communication cable to the RJ45-connector.
9.4.2.2 Sensor feedback for process controller (optional) Terminals 15 to 17 are used to receive a process sensor‘s feedback to the - optional - process controller, in the parameterisable range 15 16 17 of 0-20 mA or 0-10 V. Caution! The following binary inputs (9.4.2.3 und 9.4.2.4) have priority over the modulating set-value.
9.4.3.2 Additional signal switches (optional) The activation points of the optionally available signal switches are freely adjustable via cams. Terminals 18/19 and 20/21 provide 18 19 20 21 potential-free opening or closing contacts. The standard switches are rated to 230 VAC/10 A (6 A inductively). Special switches with gold plated contacts are available for low power (up to 100 mA and 30 V).
In actuators PS-AMS PSL the heating resistor is powered via the power supply of the actuator, so it does not have to be fed separately. For retro-fitting the heating resistor, wiring of the two cables has to be made to the terminals on the main board as per the figure on the left.
10. Status display / Calibration elements A red and a green LED on top of each other inside the terminal box indicate the status of the actuator. Another single red LED (optional) signals the status of the optional fieldbus interface. -> See special operating manual for PS-AMS fieldbus.
12.1 Cut-off in end positions Cut-offs of the PS-AMS PSL actuators can be adjusted to meet the valve function in an optimum way by using the communication software PSCS (using a special interface cable, or optionally bluetooth connection). This will result in different behavior of the actuator. In case a position is surpassed or not reached, this can be read out via the fault indication relay or via the communication software PSCS.
13.1 Auto-calibration of the cut- (Only available if at least one offs is set to be “by force/torque” or “by position automatically”.) ② ① Press the commissioning button for 3 sec Calibration in progress (Green LED is flashing, (For position of commissioning button please actuator drives in both positions).
14. Status messages 14.1 Fault indicator relay Fault messages can be transmitted to the control room with a maximum load of 24 VDC/100 mA via a closing contact at terminals 7 and 8. The messages can be parameterized via software PSCS. The contact between terminals 7 and 8 is closed when there is no fault and the drive is supplied with power.
18. Accessories Various options are available in order to adapt the actuators to the various service conditions. A list of accessories for each actuator type is shown on the actuator data sheet. Potential-free additional signal switches with silver contacts Add. Signal Switches (0.1 A - 5 A switching current) Potential-free additional signal switches with gold contacts Add.
