• Steel and bronze materials provide good anti-seizure properties

Electrical connection

• Connection by means of 1 m cable end or Ex “e” rated terminal box with tension clamp terminals of the cable entry port
• Customer-side wiring outside of the flameproof housing
• Electric anti-condensate heater
• Manual reset temperature switch 80 °C

Controls

• Open/closed signal
• Options:
  – Additional potential-free contacts
  – Electronic position controller ESR-N with Profibus and USB interfaces for synchronous motors
  – Potentiometer 200 Ω … 10 kΩ
  – Blocking protection by monitoring changes to the actual value of the potentiometer (only in conjunction with position controller ESR-N)

Ambient temperature

• -20 °C to +60 °C

Angle of rotation limited by snap-action position off switch

• CO switches with silver-plated contacts
• Switch connections routed to terminals
• Max. switching capacity: 6 A, 250 V AC
• Options:
  – Switches with gold-plated contacts
  – Switches with positive-break contacts

Angle of rotation limited by snap-action position off switch

• With potentiometer
  – Conductive plastic potentiometer (standard) or wire-wound potentiometer (including TUV approval)
  – Multiturn potentiometer up to 10 turns
  – Gearing facilitates adapting the electrical angle of rotation of the potentiometer to the desired linear regulating distance of the actuator.
• With 4 … 20 mA transmitter
  – Gearing facilitates adapting the electrical angle of rotation of the transmitter to the desired linear regulating distance of the actuator.
• With Hall sensor
  – The wear-free absolute encoder that makes use of the Hall effect is particularly suitable for continuous operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.

Manual operation (optional)

• Using a handwheel it is possible to manually adjust the position of the output shaft and valves.
• Position switch-off settings are retained during manual operation.
• Handwheel remains motionless during electrically powered operation.

Options

• Other voltage/frequency
• Handwheel
• Additional auxiliary position switches
• Custom control cams
• Electronic position controller ESR-N (in conjunction with synchronous motor)
• Position sensor
• Relay to switch several actuators in parallel
• Potentiometer
• Components to UL standard
• Connecting rod protected by bellows
• Encapsulated stroke unit

Installation

• Easily mounted thanks to stable cast angle bracket attached to housing
• Connecting pin supplied to connect connecting rod with valve
• No fuss coupling to valve stem by means of:
  – Lever arm, clamping lever, ball-and-socket joint, connecting rods, sprung connecting rods

Safety instructions

Ensure the device is isolated from the power supply before the hood of the flameproof encapsulated housing is opened by a skilled tradesperson in a hazardous area. It is imperative to observe the wait time stated on the rating plate!
