Safety Note

To avoid injury of persons and 
damages to the device, it is absolutely 
necessary to read and observe these 

instructions carefully.

Necessary assembly, start-up, and maintenance 
work must be performed by qualified and 
authorized personnel only.

Please comply with the instructions of the 
system manufacturer or system operator.

Do not remove the cover before the 
power supply is fully switched off.

Disposal instruction

 This product should be dismantled 
and its components sorted, if possible, 
in various groups before recycling or 
disposal. 

Always follow the local disposal regulations.

Mounting and installation 

Wiring 

Do not touch anything on the 
PCB!

Switch off the power line before wiring the 
actuator! Lethal voltage!
Wire the actuator according to the wiring 
diagram.

Functions accessible from cover

STAND BY MODE 

Pressing the STAND BY/RESET/LOCK button 
for 3-6 sec. and releasing it after 1x green LED 
blink causes the actuator to activate STAND 
BY MODE. The actuator will not react on any 
change of the control signal until it is switched 
back again to NORMAL MODE by pressing the 
button as mentioned before. During STAND BY 
MODE, the actuator can be moved manually 
or can be switched to RESET MODE or LOCK 
MODE by pressing the button as described in the 
according operating modes.

LOCK MODE

Pressing the STAND BY/RESET/LOCK button for 
9-12 sec. and releasing it after 3x red LED blinks 
causes the actuator to activate LOCK MODE. The 
actuator can not be brought to STAND BY MODE 
or RESET MODE until it was switched back again 

to NORMAL MODE by pressing the button as 
mentioned before (releasing the button now 
after 3× green LED blinks). During LOCK MODE, 
the actuator works just as described in normal 
or positioning mode, but with partly locked 
button-functions (shown with 1x or 2× red LED 
blinks).

Self stroking mode = RESET MODE 

Pressing the STAND BY / RESET / LOCK button 
for 6-9 sec. and releasing it after 2× green LED 
blinks causes the actuator to start 

self stroking 

procedure

:

The bi-colour LED flashes green at 1 sec. intervals 
during calibration procedure, which begins by 
extracting the stem. When the maximum force is 
detected (at the valve end position), the actuator 
then retracts the stem, until the maximum force 
is once again detected (on the other valve end 
position). The actuator will then automatically 
enter to NORMAL MODE and respond to the 
control signal.

Positioning mode

The bi-colour LED is green and stays on during 
positioning of the actuator according to the 
control signal 

Normal mode

When the positioning of the actuator is finished 
the LED flashes green every 6 seconds.

REMARK

Pressing the STAND BY/RESET/LOCK button for 
more than 12 sec., no activation/deactivation 
occures.

Manual override 

NOTE: 

If manual override has been used then 

control and return signal are not correct  
until the actuator reaches its end position.

LED function indicator 

Green – initialization (RESET), set-point position, 
transition indicator
Red - indicates STAND BY and Failure mode.

Green

:

•  Flashing light (once every 6 sec.) 

-  actuator reached set-point acc. to Y signal

•  No light

-  no operation or no power supply

•  Flashing light (~ 1Hz) 

-  self adjusting mode.

Red

:

•  No light

-  no operation or no power supply

•  Constant light 

-  fault condition occurred

•  Flashing light (2 Hz) 

-  STAND BY
-  power supply too low
-  initial self-adjusting time too short due to 

too short valve strokes

-  failure during self calibration.

Dismounting 

 

Jumper / DIP switch settings 

Jumper 

: U/I - Input signal type selector 

DIP switches

Factory settings:

ALL switches are in OFF position. The jumper is set 
to “U”. 

NOTE: 

All combinations of DIP switches are 

allowed. All functions that are selected are added 
consecutively. 

SW 1: Not used

SW 2: 0/10 - Input signal range selector 

SW 3: D/I - Direct or inverse acting selector 

 

SW 4: Not used

SW 5: Not used

SW 6: Not used

SW 7:  LIN/LOG - Linear or logarithmic flow 

characteristic 

SW 8: Smart function selector

If set on ON position the actuator enables 
special anti oscillations algorithm. 
If set on OFF position the actuator does not try to 
detect any oscillations in the system.
