4.9 Proportional Control Unit – PCU (Optional)
The actuators can be equipped with an additional PCU-PCB (Printed Circuit Board). This circuit board
includes a mounting kit and can be installed in any standard open-close actuator. The PCU converts an
open-close actuator into a modulating actuator.
Note: Please be aware that since the year 2020 a second version PCU (VAC) became available. This PCU can
be recognized by the “PCU-EB” marking on the PCB. This PCB has a slightly different setting
instruction, which can be found in paragraph 4.9.5..

The factory settings of the PCU card are normally set according to the customer requirements at the
time of order. However, we strongly recommend that input power, signal input selection and DIP switches
are to be verified prior to the actuator start up.
Settings the PCU functions are shown in paragraph 4.9.3 and 4.9.4.
