INSTRUCTION /INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR EA-21
These actuators are low cost actuators, primarily meant for use on Ball Valves upto 1.1/2" (40 mm) size and Plastic Ball Valves upto 2" (50 mm) size, Butterfly Valves Rubberlined upto 2” (50mm) size and Low Leakage Type Butterfly Valves upto 6" (150 mm) size. Maximum operating temperature is limited to (-)10°C to (+)55°C and maximum torque of this actuator is 20 NM. The actuator is fitted with Electrical circuit incorporating Two fuses, which are just suitable for motor rating. Incase of blown off fuses, use 1 ampere glass fuses. The actuator is suitable for 220/240V AC 50 Hz supply and actuator is intermittent rated for 50% duty cycles only. Two Plastic Weatherproof cable glands have been provided: One is to be used for Electric supply and also for output of limit switches. The Other cable gland is to be used for output of Electronic Circuit, if provided. Motor can be supplied with 2-Nos. additional limit switches as optional.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For this Actuator Angle of rotation is pre-set to 91.1/2°. Limit switches are pre-set to 90° rotation. For 180° rotation, special order is required to be placed. 90° rotation actuator cannot be converted to 1800 rotation or 180° rotational actuator cannot be convered to 90° rotation.

The Potentiometer,(only in “E” model ) is non- polarised and suitable for use on Electronic Digital Circuit only, which has 0.5% linearity error.

INSTALLATION : While installing this actuator on the valve, special care is required to be taken to check, valve operation should coincide with actuator operation. Normally Ball Valve or Butterfly Valve is placed at “Closed” position. Actuator should be turned electrically in such a way that, the actuator position indicator is horizontal and indicating valve closed position. Fix the Actuator in the Ball Valve or Butterfly Valve, with the help of suitable bracket and adapter (Avcon has many options to offer, ready made brackets and adapters). After connecting the actuator, mechanically put the actuator in manual mode, by turning clutch to manual mode and forcing indicator knob turning clockwise. See by hand Ball Valve or Butterfly Valve should rotate. Now manual override clutch should be put to Auto mode and connect electrical wiring to connecting point no. (2) and point no.(3), to close the valve. When the valve has closed fully and if hear still motor running noise, immediately remove electrical connection. Now adjust limit switch cams, so that limit switches contact is broken fully. Once again connect the actuator electrically and check the contact is broken stopping the movement of motor. Failure to recognize cracking of close limit switches, will results in burning 'out of motor. Now, open the valve fully by connecting point no.(1)and point no.(3), indicator should come in parallel with pipeline and once again, if required, adjust the limit switch. Now, setting of this actuator is over. In case where additional limit switches are provided, adjust the limit switch cams by using external circlip nose plyer and moving the cams in the required direction. Point no.(4) and point no.(5) are provided for connecting into Control Panel lines or other ancilliary equipment power supply. Point no.(7),Point no.(8)and point no.(9) are provided for Potentiometer Connecting point no.(7) and point no.(8), when the valve is inclosed position, will indicated “0".Connecting point no.(7) and point no.(8), when the valve is open, will indicate full value of potentiometer.
  FAULT FINDING: The Valve and actuator should be aligned very properly using adaptor which has practically no back-lash.If after giving power to the actuator, actuator does not move, first of all, check up the power supply, neutral and earth connection properly. Connecting lamp between point no. (3) and point no. (2 & 1) if glows fully, power supply is alright.

Check up for blown fuses from the PCB board. Motor is intermittent rated, for 50% duty. If motor is heated extensively (temperature above 80°C cannot be touched by finger), this means the actuator is being energised too frequently, reduce the number of pulses given to the actuator.

Perhaps actuator is experiencing higher torque then designed for Check up the size of the valve. Also remove the actuator and move the valve by hand lever. If cannot be moved by hand lever, then clean the valve by disassembling, re-fit the valve and actuator.

Valve is leaking - Valve leakage may attribute to: Worn out packing or loose fitting or damaged plug portion. Change the appropriate parts with new parts. If the valve travel is inadequate, readjust the limit switch. It is rarely experienced that, this actuator is required to be removed, disassembled and assembled, but if such case arises, Contact AVCON for instructions. In case Potentiometer does not show “0" (zero) and full value, at the close and open position respectively, re-adjust the potentiometer, with the help of multi-meter, using resistance measurement only.

In case where Interface type MA512AN is supplied and actuator operation is found problematic, please refer to the appropriate Instruction Manual.

Overload can happen due to following few reasons : The easiest and most simple way to check up wether torque of the valve is suitable for the actuator or not, is to put the actuator in Manual mode, rotate the valve holding position indicator and turning it by hand. Do not use any lever or spanner. If the valve is in a position to rotate easily, this indicates the valve torque is appropriate for the actuator torque. The other reason could be extensive valve load reduce the size of the valve. Valve packing glands too tight: check the proper torque is adjusted while assembling the valve. Improperly lubricated valve, use proper lubrication. Motor capacitor is burnt out, replace motor capacitor. If temperature is 50OC, motor will stop perating or malfunction. Motor is heating and valve cycling is to often, reduce cycles. Correct working voltage: Voltage should be 230V +/- 10%, 50 Hz AC Incorrect Wiring: Use proper size of wires. If Ball Valve or Butterfly Valve or Plug Valve does not close properly, check up if there is obstacle entrapped between the valve body and plug; remove obstacle. Even after checking everything, actuator does not run, this indicates the gears are worn out of broken; replace the gear train. If the actuator is used in extreme humid atmosphere, use space heater with thermostat is recommended. Contact AVCON for information.
