1. Unscrew the hold-down knob and remove handle from valve
shaft. Set aside the knob and handle for later use.
2. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws from the
valve body as shown in Figure 1.
3. Turn the actuator over and observe the teeth as shown in
Figure 2.
4. Place the actuator over the valve shaft so the small tooth
engages with the small slot in the valve shaft. See Figure 2.
5. Rotate the actuator until the actuator posts line up with the four
holes so it matches one of the mounting positions shown in
Figure 3. See table below for descriptions of mounting options.
Mounting Options
The actuator can also be mounted on top of a valve in four different
positions as shown in Figure 3. Depending on the plumbing of the
valve and mounting position of the actuator, the cams inside the
actuator may have to be reset. (See next section.)
6. Use the supplied four long stainless steel screws to attach the
actuator to the valve.
7. Use the hold-down knob set aside in step 1 to connect the
handle to the valve shaft.
8. Connect power supply cord to a CLASS 2 CIRCUIT ONLY,
rated 24V nominal, 4A or 100VA maximum.
Place actuator on valve so small tooth aligns
with small slot.
