When shipped from the factory, the actuator has the flow adjuster set at the maximum flow rate position for the given
port size.
1. Ensure the valve plug is in the seated position.
2. To change the valve flow rate, loosen the flow adjuster socket head cap screws (key 15) with a 5/32 inch Allen key,
3. Retighten the socket head screws (key 15) to 3 N

4. Follow instructions for recalibration on page 10.
Maintenance
Valve parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection
and maintenance depends on the severity of the service conditions.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing any maintenance
operations:
D
Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D
Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any maintenance operations to avoid personal
injury.
D
Disconnect any operating lines providing electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot
suddenly open or close the valve.
D
Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
on both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve.
D
Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D
The valve packing box may contain process fluids that are pressurized,
even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline.
Process fluids may spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings.
D
Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
WARNING
For explosionproof applications, ensure the actuator cover is properly bolted before applying power to the actuator.
Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if power is applied to the actuator with the cover
removed in a hazardous area.
Do not remove the actuator cover for 10 minutes after power is disconnected if the UPS option is installed.
For explosion‐proof applications, install rigid metal conduit and a conduit seal no more than 457 mm (18 inches) from the
transducer. Personal injury or property damage may result from explosion if the seal is not installed.
Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous area, ingress protection, and
temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval.
Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or
explosion.
