2.4 Manual Operation
To be used in case of power supply failure or during actuator setting. The manual operating
device is completely independent of the motor drive and can be operated at any time,
whether or not the motor is running, without danger to the operator. The handwheel
does not rotate during power operation. To close the valve turn the handwheel clockwise.
To open the valve, turn the handwheel counter clockwise. If the handwheel is turned during
electric operator, an error will occur and the actuator will stop. After few seconds the
actuator will restart its operation and move the valve to the requested position.

The Keystone EPI2 actuator consists of ve main parts:
• Base ange: for coupling the actuator to the valve
• Terminals enclosure: for power and signal cable connection through four
available cable entries
• Mehanical gearing: internal epicyclical gear reduction, which increases the torque
of the electric motor
• Control unit: integral control unit inclusive of electric motor with the relevant
driver, power and logic electronic card. By way of the mechanical gearing,
the electric motor operates the valve in normal working conditions
• Manual override: for actuator manual operation in case of power supply failure or
during actuator setting
