Limit Switch Settings

The end of travel limit switches have been factory set
for approximately 90° of valve travel. They will however
coincide with the exact end of valve travel positions.
The switches and their operating cams are located
under the limit switch bracket which is fixed to the top
of the motor.

Important

* Set mechanical stops before setting limit

switches.

* The switches should be adjusted after the

actuator is installed on the valve and after the

mechanical stops have been set.

* The motor is de-energized once the flatted side

of the cam is in contact with the limit switch

actuator arm, and the switch is no longer

depressed.

* Capacitor may be removed from the limit switch

bracket for better access.

* For more precise setting you can leave the allen

wrench in the cam during setting procedure.
