The technical data are not binding and not expressly  
warranted characteristics of the goods. They are  
subject to change. Our General Conditions of Sale apply. 
Using the monitoring, the instruction manual of the electric  
actuator type EA 25-250 must be observed. 

 

Intended use 

Accessory board Fail-safe return unit 

The monitoring can be used with the electric actuators type EA25, EA45, EA120 
and EA250, both with the 24V AC/DC as well as the 100-230V AC version. The 
board is to be plugged into the housing of the actuator in the provided slots. 
The fail-safe return unit already includes the required battery; no external 
wiring is necessary. (If required, the board is available without battery for 
connecting an emergency external power source with 24 V DC.)

Function 

In case of a failure of the supply voltage, the battery is electronically switched 
on automatically after 5 s. With the selector switch on the board, the functions 
"Move to CLOSE position" or "Move to OPEN position" can be selected.

Switch position 

Function 

Switch left 

Actuator moves to OPEN (counterclockwise) 

Switch right (standard) 

Actuator moves to CLOSE (clockwise) 

 

The batteries are always stored charged. If the battery charge level drops 
below 50 %, the actuator LED flashes yellow and the charge cycle starts. Once 
U

Batt

 rises above 50 %, the flashing stops. 

During the charge cycle, the actuator can be operated normally. When 
charging the internal Error LED displays “L”. The ready to operate signal stays.

Assembly of the fail-safe return unit board 

The push button on the right side of the PCB is used to check the charge status 
of the batteries. If status is “ok” the LED on the PCB will light up green after 
pressing this button. If no green light occurs do not use this PCB. 

 

 CAUTION! 

The board must not be plugged into the actuator while the green LED is 
activated on the.PCB. 

LED turns off after 30s, then the board is ready to be installed. 

 

 

 CAUTION! 

Disconnect the actuator from the supply voltage. 

 

 

1.

 

Remove housing cover of the electric actuator (loosen the 4 screws, open 

cover). 

2.

 

Take the fail-safe return unit board out of the packaging and check for 

damages. 

 

 

 CAUTION! 

Do not touch the board itself. Electrostatic discharge can damage the 
components. 

 

3.

 

Insert board vertical on the backside of the main board onto the red plug. 
 

 

 CAUTION! 

Ensure that the board sits in the lateral guides and snaps.
