SUPPORT INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
Cover No need to remove cover, doing so can invalidate your warranty
Heater The heater opon is prewired. When the actuator is powered, the heater is working
Orientaon Install vercally or horizontally upright, not to be installed underslung/upside down
Explosion Proof All series are suitable for SAFE AREA use only. Series 20 available as EX Rated
IP Rang IP67 weather proof, we advise against jeng/pressure washing actuators
Connector If your actuator is received with the white connector, you can remove it and terminate cable
Warranty Basic Series is 12 months 20,000 operaons. Smart Series is 24 months 60,000 operaons
End of Travel All actuators have end of travel limit switches except Modulang actuators, see below
4-20mA Output Smart Modulang actuators have posion feedback only, they don’t have end of travel feedback
Wiring Box Series 80-400Nm ulise a wiring box at the rear of the actuator. Remove to wire actuator
Maintenance All series of the actuators maintenance free. We recommend actuators are operated daily.
Keep Powered Yes, we recommend the actuators are powered at all mes to ensure the heater and feedback operate
SUPPORT FREQUENLTY ASKED QUESTIONS AND COMMON FAULT DIAGNOSIS
Capacitor Charge When inially using Failsafe actuators, allow short period of me for the actuator to charge capacitor.
Alert on Screen Smart actuators show ALERT when actuator has ‘Excessive Valve Torque’ or Motor Failure
No Control If your Modulang Actuator shows ‘NoCtrl’ check wiring, your actuator cannot see the modulang input
Feedback Error Ensure you are using resistors for Modulang actuators as per wiring diagram.
3rd Posion To put actuator into B33 or 3rd posion, apply power to both Red and Black at same me.
Adjust Angle Basic You can adjust the working angle of the actuator through adjusng the cams in the Basic series
Adjust Angle
Smart
You can use the rmware to set the working angle and this will also set the end of travel limit switches
LED Modulang Series 20-110 where LED ed will only show the LED on alarm. 200-400 series will also show open/close
Actuator Spins
360
If a Basic actuator and actuator rotates 360 degrees, internal micro switches are likely damaged
Screen isn't on For Smart actuators, check wiring and ensure excess voltage not applied. If ok, contact our support team
