Safety Notes

To avoid personal injury and damage to 

the device or other property, it is 

necessary to read and follow these 

instructions carefully.
Assembly, start-up, and maintenance work 

must be performed by qualified and authorized 

personnel.
Comply with the instructions of the system 

manufacturer or system operator.

Do not remove the cover before the 

power supply is switched off.

Mounting Position 

The actuator should be mounted with the valve 

stem in either a horizontal position or pointing 

upwards.

Wiring 

AC 24 V

Connect via Class 2 (North America) 

or Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) 

(Europe). Failure to comply can lead to 

equipment damage or personal injury.

Switch off power before wiring the 

actuator!

1.   Make all wiring connections in accordance 

with local, national, or regional regulations.

2.   For applications requiring conduit, a field 

supplied 1/2” trade size electrician’s fitting 

and lock nut can be mounted in the actuator 

enclosure. Use flexible metallic tubing or its 

equivalent with the field supplied fitting.

3.   Insert wiring material through the removable 

plug or conduit fitting, and connect to the 

terminal block using the applicable wiring 

diagram 

.

4.   Optionally, end position feedback is 

available on terminal 4 and terminal 5, which 

indicates actuator’s end position travel. Both 

contacts are normally open.

Jumper position setting

Do not remove the cover before the 

power supply is fully switched off.

· The Jumper is factory set in position “A”

With the jumper in position “A”, an “ON” 

command at position 1 of the terminal block 

will cause the actuator spindle to extend (valve 

closes). An “OFF” command will cause the 

spindle to retract (valve opens)

· Moving the jumper to position “B” will 

reverse the actuator’s action

With the jumper in position “B”, an “ON” 

command at position 1 of the terminal block 

will cause the actuator spindle to retract (valve 

opens). An “OFF” command will cause the 

spindle to extend (valve closes).

Installation 

1.  Check the valve neck. The actuator should 

be in the full up position 

 (factory setting). 

If it is not, refer to the manual override 

instructions and reposition the actuator to 

its full up position 

❸①

.

2.  The actuator is fixed to the valve body by 

means of a ribbed nut which requires no 
tools for mounting. The ribbed nut should 
be hand tightened only.

Manual override 

(for service purposes only)

Do not use the manual override if 

power is connected!

-  Remove cover 

-  Press and hold the button (on the bottom 

side of the actuator) 

 during manual 

override 

-  Replace cover 

-  Install actuator on valve 

 

Remark:

A ‘click’ sound after energizing the actuator 

indicates that the gear wheel has jumped into 

normal position.

 Don’t dismount the actuator from 

the valve when it is in a stem down 

position!

If dismounted in a stem down position, there is a 

high risk that the actuator gets stuck.
