SF-PB & SF-PC QUICK SETUP GUIDE

SERIES 1000-X CONTROL PACK

SERIES 1000-X CONTROL PACK

DOC-00000326(D) - 2

MANUAL OVERRIDE PUSH BUTTON

The Series 1000-X units are equipped with a manual override power button which disconnects the power 

internally to the motor - Figure C above. This enables manual operation of the actuator using the provided 

hand crank or the optional hand wheel.  The alarm LED’s on the SF-PB and SF-PC will still be illuminated 

in manual mode. To clear alarm manually move to mid travel then return to auto.

SWITCH SETTINGS

SA is used for setting the “direct acting” (2V/4mA=closed and 10V/20mA=open) or “reverse acting” 

(2V/4mA=open and 10V/20mA=closed) rotation of the actuator.  Direct acting is setting (1) and reverse 

acting is setting (3).  SA is also used for placing the actuator in “set mode” – setting (2).  Set mode is used 

to manually stroke the actuator by pressing the “open” or “shut” button and for setting the stroke limit 

position of the actuator (see below).  SB is used for setting the fail position of the actuator in case of a 

control signal loss only, 

not

 power loss. Figure D above shows the side of the control pack with settings 

for SA and SB.  

The SF-PB and SF-PC units are factory set to SA-1 and SB-2 “direct acting” and fail 

“in place”.

  The SC switch is used for selecting the input control signal (2-10V or 4-20mA).  DB is used 

for setting the sensitivity on the “dead band” – rotate clockwise for less sensitive, rotate CCW for more 

sensitive.  Units are factory set to mid-range sensitivity.

SETTING THE POSITION LIMITS

Refer to FIG B for button/switch details.  If the SF-PB or SF-PC is shipped inside of an actuator the 

position limits are preset and need no adjustment.

If the SF-PB or SF-PC is purchase as a replacement 

you MUST perform the following sequence to set the limits.

  

All position limits should be set prior to 

the point the actuator reaches the mechanical limit, failure to adhere to this requirement may cause 

permanent damage

. To re-set the position limits of the unit, 

SA should be placed in “set mode” by 

switching to position “2”.

  At this point, the “open” or “shut” buttons can be pressed to stroke the 

actuator.  When setting the closed limit, push the “shut” button or manually rotate actuator to desired 

position and make sure the control signal is applied with the proper V or mA required for close, e.g. 2V or 

4mA.  While holding the white “set button”, depress the “shut” button and hold until LED illuminates, then 

release both buttons.  The closed limit is now set. When setting the open limit, push the “open” button or 

manually rotate actuator to desired position and make sure the control signal is applied with the proper 

V or mA required for open, e.g. 10V or 20mA.  While holding the white “set button”, depress the “open” 

button and hold until LED 2 illuminates, then release both buttons.  The open limit is now set.  SA can now 

be set back to (1) direct acting or (3) reverse acting.  Increase/Decrease control signal to confirm proper 

operation.

NOTE: ACTUATOR IS EQUIPPED WITH MECHANICAL STOPS.  THESE ARE FOR MANUAL OPERATION 

ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO SET THE POSITION LIMITS ON THE ACTUATOR.
