Stroke Calibration
To determine the stroke positions 0% and 100% in the valve, calibration is required when the
valve/actuator are commissioned for the first time. The actuator must be mechanically
connected to a valve and must have a supply voltage of 24 Vac. Repeat the calibration
procedure as often as necessary
CAUTION:
Before starting calibration, be sure that the manual adjuster is set to Automatic for
the actual values to register.
There is a slot on the printed circuit boards for the actuators. To
initiate the calibration procedure, the contacts inside this slot must
be short-circuited (possibly with a screwdriver). See Figure 8.
Automatic calibration proceeds as follows (see Figure 9):
• Actuator runs to the 0% stroke position (1), green LED
flashes.
• Actuator then runs to the 100% stroke position (2), green
LED flashes.
• Measured values are stored in the EPROM.
• The actuator now moves to the position defined by control
signal Y or Z (3), and the green LED now glows steady
(normal operation).
• Throughout this procedure, output U is inactive, meaning
the values only represent actual positions when the green
LED stops flashing and remains on continuously.
