1. Ensure that the pneumac module is completely depressurized by venng it into the atmosphere and discon-
necng all power sources from the accessories.
2. Make sure that the valve and the actuator are aligned in the same posion (i.e. valve closed - actuator in the
closed posion or both open). In the case of actuators with spring return, align the valve to the safe posion of
the actuator. If a manual override is used, it must also be ensured that it corresponds to the valve and actuator
posion.
3. Posion the valve, aach the mounng bracket and then mount the coupling sha on the valve sha (when
using a mounng kit). Check the posion of the actuator and valve, align the valve sha (or sha coupling)
with the actuator sha and slide the actuator onto the mounng surface of the mounng bracket (or onto the
ISO ange of the valve if no mounng bracket is used).
4. When using an emergency manual gearbox between actuator and valve, the gearbox must rst be aached
and fastened to the valve according to the prescribed procedure. Then turn back the stop screws on the gear-
box. Mount the actuator with the coupling sha on the gearbox and x the actuator on the gearbox ange.
5. To align the screw holes, the valve mounng screws on the mounng bracket may need to be loosened slightly.
The actuator xing screws should be easy to screw into the threaded holes of the actuator interface without
the mounng bracket (or the ISO ange of the valve) being loaded by transverse forces. If necessary, turn the
drive a lile and/or adjust the adjusng screws of the drive. Fasten the actuator to the mounng bracket/on
the gearbox ange/on the head ange of the valve.
6. Before operang the actuator, the manual override (if available) must be disengaged.
7. Adjust the adjusng screws of the quarter turn actuator correctly for open and closed valve posions according
to the recommendaons of the valve manufacturer. The adjusng screws of the quarter turn actuator should
dene the end stops, not that of the gearbox.
8. Tighten the lock nuts on the stop screws aer adjusng the stop screws. Make sure that the screws on the
gearbox (if present) are now set and locked so that they are slightly behind the end posion of the drive.
9. Make sure that the manual actuaon modules are unlocked before you start up the actuator.
10.Pneumacally operate the actuator several mes to check that it is operang correctly and smoothly. If the
actuator is equipped with a switch box or other accessories, set it now.
