Manual Adjustment 
Press (a) and turn the hand wheel (b): 
clockwise (CW). Control path A → AB can be 
mechanically opened to between 80% and 90%, 
or  
counterclockwise (CCW). The actuator will be 
switched off and the valve closed. 
As soon as the hand wheel is pressed and turned, 
neither the forced control signal Z, the input signal 
Y, nor the phase-cut signal acts on the actuator. 
The green LED will flash. 
For automatic control, the hand wheel must be set 
to the Auto position. The green LED will be lit.

Calibration 
If the electronics module is replaced or the actuator turned 
through 180°, the valve’s electronics must be recalibrated. To 
recalibrate, the hand wheel must be set to Auto. 
The printed circuit board has a slot (see 
Figure 3). Calibrate by 
bridging the contacts located behind the slot on the printed 
circuit board, using a screwdriver. The valve will then travel 
across the full stroke to store the end positions. 
While calibration is in progress, the green LED will flash for 
about 10 seconds (see Indication of Operating State).
