To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is the manual override on my HKC Controller hard to turn?
If the HKC Controller's manual override is hard to turn, it could be due to an improperly lubricated valve stem or a valve packing gland that is too tight. In the first case, you should clean out the old grease and replace it with the recommended lubricant. In the second case, loosen the packing gland nuts as necessary.
What to do if the motor runs but will not operate valve in HKC HQ-005 Controller?
If the motor of your HKC Controller runs but the valve won't operate, the gearing might be stripped. If this is the case, replace the gears as necessary.
How to fix a HKC Controller valve that only opens or closes partially?
If the HKC Controller valve only opens or closes partially with the motor, the limit switch might be improperly set. Check the setting and reset it if necessary.
Why won't the motor run on my HKC HQ-005?
If the HKC Controller motor will not run, there could be an open in the control circuit or insulation resistance breakdown in the motor. In the first case, refer to the appropriate wiring diagram and check for continuity. In the second case, perform a megger test.
What to do if manual override nut will not operate valve in HKC Controller?
If the manual override nut on your HKC Controller will not operate the valve, it could be due to stripped gearing, a broken hand wheel shaft, or a broken valve stem. Replace the gearing or hand wheel shaft as necessary. Repair or replace the valve stem as necessary.
What to do if there is no power available to actuator in HKC Controller?
If there is no power available to the HKC Controller actuator, a circuit breaker may have tripped. Reset the circuit breaker.

The HKC HQ Series Quarter-turn Electric Actuator is designed for the operation of industrial valves, such as butterfly and ball valves. This manual provides comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, and maintenance.
The HQ Series electric actuators provide precise control for quarter-turn valves. They are equipped with a declutchable manual override system, allowing for manual operation in case of power failure or for initial setup. The actuators can be configured for clockwise (standard) or counter-clockwise rotation to close, by adjusting the wiring and PCU board settings.
The actuators feature limit switches to define the fully open and fully closed positions, and torque switches to prevent damage from overload conditions. An optional Current Position Transmitter (CPT) provides a 4-20mA output signal, indicating the current valve position. For more advanced control, a Proportional Control Unit (PCU) is available, offering various input and output signal types, dead time, and dead band settings. Communication protocols like ProfiBus and ModBus are also supported as optional features, enabling remote control and monitoring.
