CAUTION:
For highly geared actuators, one turn of the handwheel may not be sufficient to allow for coast of moving parts. Refer to
valve manufacturer setting requirements in these cases.
6. Push in Clutch Screw and turn CW
one quarter turn to latch in a depressed position.
7. Limit Switch Rotor Cams
A. If your Limit Switch Rotor Cams did not trip at the full OPEN position point, turn the Intermediate Open Shaft in a CW
direction until the Open Limit Rotor Cam rotates 90° to make an OPEN contact (OPEN limit trip point = Rotor Cam in a vertical
orientation to make an OPEN contact); see figure 10 for orientation. Once you have reached the full OPEN position point, use the
Handwheel to rotate the Intermediate Shaft slowly in the CCW
direction until the Rotor just trips again.
B. If your Limit Switch Rotor Cams did trip before reaching the full OPEN position point, leave the valve at the full OPEN position
point and turn the Intermediate Open Shaft in a CCW
direction until the Rotor Cam rotates 90° to make an OPEN contact
(OPEN limit trip point = Rotor Cam in a vertical orientation to make an OPEN contact). Once you have reached the full OPEN
position point, rotate the Intermediate Shaft slowly in the CW
direction until the Rotor just trips again.

8. Before operating the actuator, depress and turn the Clutch Screw CCW
one-quarter turn to the spring release position. Insert
a screwdriver into each of the Intermediate Shafts and “rock” them CW
and CCW
a few times to ensure all the gearing is
seated well.
4.3.4 Setting the CLOSE Limit Switch
1. De-engerize the electrical circuit to the actuator.
2. Open the Electrical Compartment Cover (piece 200-1).
3. Put the actuator into MANUAL operation by moving the Declutch Lever in the direction of the arrow on the lever until the Declutch
Lever locks in place.
4. Turn the Handwheel CW
to move the valve to the full CLOSED position. While turning the Handwheel, note the direction of the
Intermediate Shaft that corresponds to the Closed Rotor Group.
