The following table shows the pneumatic connection versions for different actuator types,
regulating action and safety position after an auxiliary power supply failure.

5.4 Restrictors
● Reduce the air output to achieve travel times of T > 1.5 s for small actuators. Use restrictors
Y1 ① and Y2 ② for this purpose.
● When turned clockwise, they reduce the air output and finally shut it off.
● In order to set the restrictors, we recommend closing them and then opening slowly.
● In case of double-acting valves, ensure that both restrictors have approximately the same
setting.
① Restrictor Y1
② Restrictor Y2, only in the version for double-acting actuators *)
③ Hexagon socket-head screw 2.5 mm
