Safety Notes

To avoid injury of persons and damages to the device, it is absolutely necessary to read and observe these instructions carefully. Necessary assembly, start-up, and maintenance work must be performed by qualified and authorized personnel only. Please comply with the instructions of the system manufacturer or system operator.

Disposal instruction

This product should be dismantled and its components sorted, if possible, in various groups before recycling or disposal.
Always follow the local disposal regulations.

Mounting

Fix the actuator on the valve.

Wiring

Control signal

Control signal from the controller must be connected to terminals Y (input signal) and SN (common) on the AME printed board.

Output signal

Output signal from the terminal X can be used for indication of the current position. Range depends on the DIP switch settings.

Supply voltage

Supply voltage (24 V~ −15 to +10 %, 50/60 Hz) must be connected to the terminals SN and SP.

DIP switch settings

Factory settings:

ALL switches are on OFF position! ①

Note: All combinations of DIP switches are allowed. All functions that are selected are added consecutively. There is only one logic override of functionalities i.e. the switch No.6 Proportional / 3 point, which sets actuator to ignore control signal and works as a “simple” 3-point actuator.

SW1: U/I ②

The actuator can responde to a voltage or current control signal. With switch No.1: U/I actuator can be set either to operate with a voltage control signal (actuator responds to signal between 0-10 V), or current control signal (actuator responds to signal between 0-20 mA).
Factory setting: voltage control signal (0-10 V).

SW2: 2 V-10 / 0 V-10 ③

The actuator can be set to respond on a control signal from 2 V, or 0 V. If the actuator is set current signal then it responds to a control signal from 4 mA or 0 mA.
Factory setting is: 2-10 V.

SW3: Direct/Inverse ④

The actuator can be set for spindle to travel downwards on rising control signal (DIRECT), OR for the spindle to travel upwards on rising control signal (INVERSE).

Factory setting is: DIRECT

SW4: —/Sequential ⑤

Two actuators can be set to work parallel withone control signal. If the SEQUENTIAL is set then an actuator responds to split control signal (see 0(2)-5(6) V/ 6(6)-10 V).

Note: This combination works in combination with switch No.5: 0(2)-5(6) V/ 6(6)-10 V

SW5: 0(2)-5(6) V/6(6)-10 V ⑥

Note: This function is available if switch No.4:

— / Sequential is set.

SW6: Proportional/3 point ⑦

Actuator needs to perform Self stroking prior to changing DIP 6 to ON. Output signal depends on DIP 2, and 3&5 setting. Actuator can operate in modulating (DIP 6 to OFF) or in “simple” 3-point mode, if the 3-point function is selected (DIP 6 to ON).Connect power supply on terminals SN and SP terminals. Factory set DIP 6 to OFF for operating actuator in Modulating mode. Actuator’s stem will run to its totally extended or retracted position by bridging SN signal to terminals 1 or 3 and will remain in this positron as long as potential is present. Set DIP 6 to ON for operating the actuator in 3-point mode. Look carefully wiring diagram as wiring is different for controllers with triac output (ECL) in comparison to controllers with relay output. Return signal X indicates the correct position. Note: If the 3-point function is selected actuator does not respond to any control signal on port Y. It only rises and lowers spindle if power is supplied on port 1 or 3.

SW7: LOG/LIN – Not in use.

SW8: 100 % kVS/Reduced kVS – Not in use.

SW9: Reset ⑧

After the actuator has been connected to the power supply, the actuator will start the self-adjustment procedure. The indicator LED flashes until self-adjustment is finished. The duration depends on the spindle travel and will normally last a few minutes. The stroke lengthof the valve is stored in the memory after self-adjustment has been completed. To restart self-adjustment, change the position of RESET switch (switch No. 9). If the supply voltage is switched off or falls below 80 % in more than 0.1 s, the current valve position will be stored in the memory and all data remain saved in thememory also after a power supply cut-out.

Function test

The indicator light shows whether the positioner is in operation or not. Moreover, the indicator shows the control status and faults.

Constant light

normal operation

No light

no operation or no power supply

Intermittent light (1 Hz)

self adjusting-mode

Intermittent light (3 Hz):

power supply too low
insufficient valve stroke (<20 s)
end-position cannot be reached.
