Remove Valve Gearing if so If valve is equipped with stops, remove valve stem extension housing. Examine the valve stops to insure that no foreign material is present between the stops that would restrict normal travel of the valve. Some valves are equipped with inspection ports in the valve housing for ease in examining the Check alignment of stem key slot to the position of the valve. Normally with the valve in the open position, the key slot is in line with the run of the pipeline. With the valve in the closed position, the key slot should be 90 to the run of the Generously grease the valve stem and mounting The Rotary vane actuator may be mounted to the valve at any time regardless of whether or not the valve is under 1 Installation, Operation and Maintenance ManualRVSM-0709 Rev.

3 B July 20092 Section 1: Actuator Preparation1. All accessory parts, bolts, etc. are packaged inside of the control box or inside the actuator rotor bore, on small actuators these parts are wired to the unit or to the shipping The actuator rotor is bored and key-wayed to match the particular valve stem or is supplied with adapter sleeve and step-key. Measure valve stem , actuator bore and keys to insure proper mating of actuator to Make certain that the actuator and valve are in the same relative position, both open or closed. Actuators are normally shipped in the open position. If the valve is in the closed position, remove the plugs from the exhaust ports of the control and hand pump the actuator closed observing the position indicator marks on top of the The Rotary actuator is fitted with externally adjustable stops.

4 These must be adjusted so that the valve can attain its full rotation. The actuators are factory preset to allow 90 rotation and for valves without stops, the actuator will most likely not require any adjustment at this time. However, for valves with mechanical stops, loosen the actuator s locking retainer nuts 1/4 turn only and turn the adjusting squares clockwise until they stop to obtain the maximum actuator Actuator Installation1. Insert the key (from accessory parts bag) into the keyway of the valve stem exten-sion. The key can be held in place with tape, or two prick-punch marks at its lower end. Lubricate and install the stem adapter sleeve onto the valve stem, if it was not inserted into the rotor before shipping. Generously lubricate the bore of the actuator and keyways.

5 The stem adapter should not protrude past the bottom of the rotor. Carefully lower the actuator onto the stem extension making sure that the key is not pushed down and out of the keyway, causing binding. The actuator should slide freely down onto the supporting valve flange without having to be pulled If the mounting holes of the actuator and valve flange do not line up, pump the hand pump to rotate the actuator until proper alignment is attained. When properly installed the actuator control should be parallel to the run of the Bolt the actuator tightly to the flange of the valve using the bolts and lockwashers Customer Connections1. If limit switches exist, a conduit seal shall be placed as close as is practicable, and in no case more than eighteen inches from the limit switch assembly.

6 There shall be no junction box or similar enclosure between the seal and the limit switch housing. Certified wiring diagrams are provided in the job All control tubing connections are pointed out on the certified drawings found in the job Refer to next page for the final actuator travel adjustment.

B3 Section 2: Actuator Rotation Travel AdjustmentActuator Rotation Travel AdjustmentSection: 2 Actuator Rotation Travel Adjustment of Stops1. If the valve is equipped with mechanical stops, proceed with (a), if not proceed with (b).a. Hand pump the actuator and valve closed against the mechanical valve stops. Adjust the two closing actuator stops by turning the adjusting screw counter-clockwise, until they snug-up (by feel) against the actuator vane.

7 Hand pump the actuator and valve open against the valve stops, and adjust the two opening actuator stops in the same The Rotary actuator is factory preset for a full 90 rotation travel. If any adjustment is needed, hand pump the actuator and valve closed against the actuator s stops. Make an index mark across the position indicator and head of the actuator. Hand pump the actuator open slightly (1 to 2 ) freeing the actuator stops so adjustment can be made. After adjusting stops, hand pump actuator back closed against stops and check index marks to determine the amount of adjustment made. The opening stops are adjusted in the same manner. CAUTION: If the valve is equipped with its own mechanical stops, the actuator s stops must be adjusted so that the torque load is applied to them, and not the valve stops.
