OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
SETTING OF INTERNAL TRAVEL STOPS
Figure 79U & 79E - 065/090/180 are fitted with
integral end of travel stops to enable setting of
exact travel for the valve being operated.
These stops give adjustment of 5° overtravel to
7° undertravel at each end of stroke. The range
of the actuator travel is, therefore :-
at closed (0°) position - 5° to +7°
at open (90°) position 83° to 95°
TO SET THE STOPS (DOUBLE ACTING UNITS)
1. Operate valve/actuator assembly to the
closed position.
2. Remove air supply.
3. Slacken locknut on the close travel stop.
4. Turn the stop clockwise to reduce travel or
anticlockwise to increase travel.
5. Re-Tighten locknut.
6. Reconnect air supply and check that the
position is correct. If not repeat from
instruction 2.
7. Apply air to operate to the open position.
8. Remove air supply.
9. Adjust open travel stop screw as per
instructions 3 to 6.
TO SET THE STOPS (SINGLE ACTING UNITS)
AIR FAIL CLOSE
1. Remove air supply so that actuator drives to
closed position. Note actual position.
2. Apply air to open the actuator. Note actual
position.
3. Whilst the air supply is maintained slacken
the locknut on the close stop and adjust
the stop screw by an amount estimated to
give correct position. (clockwise adjustment
decreases travel).
4. Re-tighten lock nut.
5. Remove air so that actuator closes. If
correct closed position is not achieved
repeat from instruction 2.
6. Slacken locknut on the open stop and adjust
the travel by an amount estimated to give
correct position. (clockwise adjustment
decreases travel).
7. Re-tighten locknut.
8. Apply air and check open position. If correct
open position is not achieved.
Repeat from instruction 5.
TO SET THE STOPS (SINGLE ACTING UNITS)
AIR FAIL OPEN
1. Remove air supply so that actuator drives to
open position. Note actual position.
2. Apply air to close the actuator. Note actual
position.
3. Whilst the air supply is maintained slacken
the locknut on the open stop and adjust the
stop screw by an amount estimated to give
correct position. (clockwise adjustment
decreases travel).
4. Re-tighten lock nut.
5. Remove air so that actuator opens. If correct
open position is not achieved repeat from
instruction 2.
6. Slacken locknut on the close stop and adjust
the travel by an amount estimated to give
correct position. (clockwise adjustment
decreases travel).
7. Re-tighten locknut.
8. Apply air and check close position. If correct
close position is not achieved.
Repeat from instruction 5.
WARNINGS
Under no circumstances must the travel stop
bolts be totally withdrawn from the actuator whilst
compressed air is being applied.
Internal travel stops must not be used for manual
override
Accessories mounted to the top of Actuators must
be re-adjusted accordingly after setting the travel
stops.
