1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Figure 1-3. ECS Control Box Models Showing Front Panel Differences
The Control Box is the heart of the ECS. It contains the Temperature Controller, an Over­Temperature Switch and, when required, Inlet/Outlet Temperature Indicators for Water-to-Water applications. The Temperature Controller is the “brain” of the ECS which processes data received from the temperature and flow sensors. Using PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) algorithms, the Temperature Controller provides a 4-to-20 mA control signal to the Control Valve Actuator which precisely modulates the Control Valve for optimum outlet temperature control.

OMM-0003_0D AC-105
Electronic Control System (ECS) and Type CXT-E Valve
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
An Over-Temperature Switch is also included in the Control Box to constantly monitor the Water Heater outlet temperature to ensure the Heater does not exceed the preset high temperature limit. Typically, the over-temperature limit is set 20°F above the desired Heater setpoint temperature. If an over-temperature condition occurs, this Switch sounds an audible alarm, activates the Over-Temperature Solenoid and cuts off power to the Control Valve Actuator. This closes the Control Valve and shuts off the heating fluid (steam or hot boiler water) to the Heat er. In addition, activation of the Over-Temperature Solenoid allows over-temperature water to be dumped from the Heater shell.
The Control Box also contains a DC Power Supply and Voltage Regulator to provide the voltag e levels required by the ECS Control Box circuitry, flow sensor and safety devices. It also provides 24 VDC power to the Control Valve CXT-E Actuator.
The Control Box components are housed in a steel enclosure with a hinged front door. This door contains a clear polycarbonate window which permits maintenance personnel to view the controls and displays of the Temperature Controller, and other display devices mounted on a recessed panel behind the door. All sensor and control signal connections are made via cable connections at the bottom of the Control Box. External AC power (120 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) is supplied via a cutout on the right side of the Control Box.
1.2.2 Feed-Forward Flow Sensor
The Feed-Forward Flow Sensor is installed between the cold water inlet and the drain valve on the Water Heater as shown in Figure 1-1. The Flow Sensor monitors a portion of the inlet flow to the Heater and provides a feed-forward signal to the Temperature Controller which is proportional to the change in flow through the Heater.
1.2.3 Outlet Temperature Sensors
The Control System includes a Dual Temperature Sensor which is installed in the hot water outlet of the Water Heater. This sensor contains two identical Type J thermocouples. The first thermocouple connects directly to the Temperature Controller in the Control Box to provide the outlet water temperature. The second thermocouple connects to the Over-Temperature Switch in the Control Box.
1.2.4 Heating Fluid Inlet/Outlet Temperature Sensors
When the Heater utilizes hot (boiler) water as the heating fluid, two additional Temperature Sensors (Type J thermocouples) are provided with the Control System. One temperature Sensor is installed at the heating fluid inlet and t he other is installed at the heating fluid outlet. These two Sensors are connected to two identical Temperature Display Indicators in the Control Box to provide real-time indications of the inlet and outlet heating fluid temperatures. These Temperature Indicators are physically identical to the Over-Temperature Switch, however they are “Indicator-Only” devices and do not provide any switching functions.
1.2.5 Over-Temperature Solenoid Valve
As previously mentioned, the Over-Temperature Solenoid Valve operates in conjunction with the Over-Temperature Switch in the Control Box. An over-temperature alarm is activated when the preset high temperature limit is exceeded, thereby energizing and opening the Solenoid Valve. This allows over-heated water and pressure build-up to be expelled from the Heater Shell and relieve pressure build-up.

2. INSTALLATION

2.1 INTRODUCTION

Normally, the Electronic Control System (ECS) is shipped already installed on the Packaged Water Heater. However, the Control Valve, Type CXT-E is packed separately. For smaller size Valves (1” to 2”), the packaged Valve is attached to the base of the shipping crate. For larger size Valves (2 ½” to 4”), the packaged Valve may be shipped separately due to space limitations within the Heater shipping crate. Therefore, the installation procedures consist basically of:
Installing the Electronic Control Valve, Type CXT-E and associated steam or hot (boiler) water piping and components.
Connecting external power to the ECS Control Box
Connecting and checking electrical connections to the CXT-E Actuator and other ECS
components
IMPORTANT NOTE!
For Water-to-Wat er Doub le -Wall (WWDW) heaters equipped with the ECS, the following minimum recirculation flow must be provided to achieve ±4°F temperature control under normal diversified domestic load conditions:
Double-Wall Model Minimum System Recirculation
WWDW24 10 gpm WWDW45 15 gpm WWDW68 20 gpm

2.2 ELECTRONIC CONTROL VALVE TYPE CX T-E INSTALLATION

The following procedures apply to all sizes of AERCO Electronic Control Valves Type CXT-E ranging from 1 inch to 4 inches. In addition, the following steps can be us ed for both st eam and hot (boiler) water flow systems. Proceed as follows:
1) Refer to Figure 1-3 for dimensions of the Control Valve furnished with the Packaged W ater Heater.
2) Next, refer to the recommended installation drawing in Figure 2-1 for steam flow, or Figure 2-2 for hot (boiler) water flow.
3) Install the Control Valve with the Actuator Linkage in the vertical, upright position as shown in Figure 2-1 or 2-2.
4) For maintenance purposes, unions are required with threaded ends to simplify removal from the steam or hot boiler water line.
5) Blow out all pipe lines to clear them of dirt chips, scale or other foreign matter which could adversely affect Valve operation when in service.
6) Install an in-line strainer upstream of the Valve as shown in Figure 2-1 (steam) or Figure 2­2 (hot boiler water). This will protect against foreign matter reaching the Valve during service operation.

7) If the Valve is controlling steam, ensure that the steam line is pr operly trapped to prevent accumulation of condensate ahead of the Valve.
8) Install Shutoff Valves (metal-seated, g ate-type) upstream and downstream of the Control Valve to permit removal from the line for maintenance.
9) Pressure gauges should be installed on both sides of the Control Valve as shown in Figure 2-1 (steam) or Figure 2-2 (hot water).
10) The gauge on the high pressure side of the Valve is for adjustment and maintenance purposes. The gauge on the low pressure side is to ensure that the correct pressure is being introduced to the Control Valve. For either steam or water flow, the low side gauge denotes the pressure of the fluid in the line which may create a hazardous condition.
11) A temperature gauge should be installed in the high pressure side of a hot (boiler) water line as shown in Figure 2-2.
12) Install the Control Valve with the arrow on the Valve Body pointing in the direction of flow.
13) After the Control Valve has been installed in the steam or hot water line, ensure that all piping connections are secure and leak tight.
14) This completes the installation procedures for the Control Valve. Proceed to the next paragraph titled ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM INSTALLATION.

2.3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS ) INSTALLATION

As previously mentioned, the Control Box and all other Electronic Control System (ECS) components are installed on the Packaged Water Heater prior to shipment from the factory. Therefore, ECS installation basically consists of connecting external AC power to the System and providing the necessary power and control signal connections to the Control Valve Type CXT-E. However, if your ECS was ordered with the Modbus Communication option, several additional signal lead connections will need to be made inside the Control Box. These signal leads will permit the ECS to be controlled by an external Energy Management System (EMS), Building Automation System (BAS), or Computer.
NOTE:
Following installation, a lock (Not Supplied) can be installed on the front door of the Control Box, if desired, to prevent unauthorized access to ECS settings.

3. ADJUSTMENT

3.1 INTRODUCTION

This Section provides adjustment procedures for both the Control Valve, Type CXT-E and t he Electronic Control System (ECS).
Prior to shipment, from AERCO, all CXT-E Control Valve Actuators are adjusted (auto-stroked) to ensure that they properly position the Control Valve from the fully-open to the fully-closed positions. In addition, the ECS is adjusted to the Setpoint Temperature specified on the Sales Order. If no setting was specified, the default is 140°F.
It is recommended that the following procedures be performed to the extent necessar y, prior to placing the system into operation. Also, the applicable procedures MUST be performed following replacement of the CXT-E Control Valve or other ECS components. In addition, the following procedure must be performed following maintenance or adjustment of linkage, actuator or packing nut.
CAUTION
As a precaution, ensure that all heating fluid (steam or hot (boiler) water) shutoff valves are fully closed prior to performing any of the following adjustment procedures.

3.2 CONTROL VALVE TYPE CXT-E ADJUSTMENT

All CXT-E Actuators are powered by 24 VDC and are contr olled by a linear 4-to-20 mA control signal. A 4 mA control signal input places the Control Valve in the fully-closed position(Valve shaft down); while a 20 mA signal strokes the Valve to the fully-open position (Valve shaft up).
The Control Valve Actuators are self-calibrating for all Valve sizes. Therefore, simply proceed as follows to automatically adjust the Actuator:
NOTE:
The following adjustment procedure must be performed any time that the CXT-E Actuator is replaced or a mechanical adjustme nt is ma de to the Linkage Assembly or Valve.
1) Refer to Figure 3-1 and loosen the Actuator cover set screw.
2) Remove the Actuator cover to access the PC Board containing the terminal connections,
DIP switches, Auto-Stroke (Reset) button and LED shown in Figure 3-1.
NOTE:
When properly connected to the ECS, +24 VDC power is supplied to the Control Valve Actuator when the Control Box POWER switch is set to the ON position. This switch is located on the right side of the Control Box.
3) Set the ECS Control Box POWER switch to the ON position to apply 24 VDC power to the
Actuator (pin 2 = +24 VDC, pin 1 = Common). The LED will light indicat ing that power is applied.
4) Wait approximately 10 seconds while the unit performs a self-test. The LED will blink fr om
one to four times depending on the size of the valve as follows:

3.3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS ) ADJUSTMENT

The Electronic Control System (ECS) is preset at the setpoint temperature specified on the Sales Order. The over-temperature alarm limit is normally set 20°F above the specified setpoint. If no setpoint or over-temperature alarm limit is specified, the ECS will be set to the Factory Default values of 140°F (setpoint) and 160°F (over-temperature alarm limit). If changes are required, the setpoint and over-temperature alarm limits can be easily changed. This is accomplished using the controls provided on the Temperature Controller and the Over­Temperature Switch contained in the Control Box shown in Figure 3-2. These items can be viewed through the window on the front door of the Control Box. To access thes e controls and adjust the setpoint or over-temperature alarm limit, open the hinged Control Box door. Pr oceed as follows to adjust the required parameters:
NOTE:
For “Water-to-Water” Heater applications, two additional Temperature Display Indicators are mounted below the Over Temp Switch. Although these Indicators are identical to the Over Temp Switch, they are “Indicator-Only” devices which cannot be adjusted.

4. OPERATION

4.1 INTRODUCTION

This Section provides the pre-operational checks, initial start-up procedures for the AERCO Water Heater, Electronic Control System (ECS) and CXT-E Control Valve. In addition, procedures are included to check the hot water outlet flow through the heater.

4.2 PRE-OPERATIONAL CHECKS

1) Verify that the ECS Temperature Controller setpoint and Over-Temperature Switch alarm
limit have been properly set using the procedures in Section 3 – ADJUSTMENTS.
2) Refer to Figure 2-1 (Steam Flow) or Figure 2-2 (Hot Water Flow). To place the Control Valve
and Heater System into operation, proceed as follows: a) Ensure that the AERCO Heater is ready for operation in accordanc e with the instructions
provided in the Heater Operation & Maintenance Manual included with the equipment.
b) First, slowly open the upstream and the downstream shutoff valves until they are fully
open. Check to insure that the CXT Valve is not allowing the flow of steam or hot water.
c) Ensure t hat electrical power is properly connected to the ECS Control System and the
Electronic Control Valve, Type CXT-E.
4.3 INITIAL START-UP
In order to prevent a possible over-temperature condition during initial start-up, aerco recommends that the following steps be performed in the order specified:
1) With the ECS Control Box door open, set the POWER switch on the right side of the box to
the ON position. This will provide power to the complete ECS and CXT-E Control Valve. When power is initially applied, the ECS Temperature Controller automatically performs a self-test sequence for approximately three seconds. Proceed immediately to the next step.
2) Upon completion of the self-test, the Temperature Controller will show the present water
heater outlet temperature in the upper display and the setpoint temperature in the lower display.
3) Press the AUTO/MAN button on the front panel of the Controller (Figure 3-3) and toggle the
display to the MAN (Manual) mode. The MAN indicator will light when the Manual mode is selected.
4) When in the Manual mode, the upper display will continue to show the current outlet water
temperature of the heater. The lower display will show the position of the CXT-E Control Valve Actuator in %. When the Manual mode is initially selected, the lower display will show 0%, indicating that the Control Valve is fully closed.
5) Using the ▲ arrow button, set the CXT-E Control Valve to the 10% position and monitor the
outlet water temperature of the heater.
6) Next, continue to increase the valve “open” position in 5% increments until the water
temperature starts to increase at a moderate rate.
7) When the outlet water temperature has increased to within 20°F of the desired setpoint,
press the AUTO/MAN button and toggle the Temperature Controller to the AUTO mode. The AUTO indicator will light and the MAN indicator will go off. When in the AUTO mode the upper display will continue to show the outlet water temperature of the heater. The lower display will show the selected setpoint temperature.

5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.1 INTRODUCTION

The AERCO Electronic Control System (ECS) and Electronic Control Valve Type CXT-E provide a highly responsive control system which provides virtually constant hot water flow at the selected setpoint temperature. A simplified functional block diagram for the ECS and CXT-E is shown in Figure 5-1. The following paragraphs provide a top-level functional overview of system operation.

5.2 FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW

The primary control mechanism for the ECS is an Electronic Process Controller which is installed in the Control Box. The Controller utilizes PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) algorithms to provide precise control of the Water Heater outlet temperature. Outlet temperature control is accomplished by modulating the open/closed position of the CXT-E Control Valve Actuator.
The Controller continuously monitors the Water Heater outlet temperature via a thermocouple located in the outlet port. The Controller also receives a feed-forward signal from the flow sensor mounted in the cold water inlet as shown in Figure 5-1. The f low sensor monitors flow changes through the Water Heater and provides a feed-forward signal (0 to 5 VDC) to the Controller proportional to the change in flow.
Using PID algorithms, the Controller provides a 4-to-20 mA output signal to the CXT-E Control Valve Actuator. This 4-to-20 mA signal proportionally modulates the Control Valve position from fully closed (4 mA) to fully open (20 mA). The control signal varies as necessary to maintain the setpoint temperature programmed into the Controller. Under normal conditions, the Water Heater outlet temperature is maintained within ±4°F of the desired setpoint based on a load change of 50% or less.

5.3 OVER-TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND SAFETY FEATURES

The Control Box also contains an Over-Temperature Switch which continuously monitors and displays the outlet water temperature of the Heater via the input received from the thermocouple installed in the hot water outlet port. Normally, the Over-Temperature Switch is set 20°F above the setpoint temperature for the Water Heater. If the configurable over-temperature limit is exceeded, the Over-Temperature Switch alarm is triggered, which sounds an audible alarm, disconnects power from the Control Valve Actuator and energizes the Solenoid Valve located in the Water Heater top head, expelling over-heated water from the Heater.
The Solenoid Valve in the top head remains open until the water tem perature drops below the over-temperature limit setting. Once the water temperature drops below the limit, the Over­Temperature Switch resets automatically, silencing the audible alarm, de-energizing and closing the Solenoid Valve, and reapplying power to the Control Valve Actuator.
It should be noted that the Over-Temperature Switch has a slightly slower response to temperature changes than the Temperature Controller. Therefore, slightly differ ent temperature readings may appear momentarily in their respective displays, particularly during system start­up.
The Control Valve Actuator also incorporates a “Fail-Safe” feature which automatically closes the Valve if there is a loss of the 4-to-20 mA control signal or loss of input power.

6.3 ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM (ECS ) RO UTINE MAINTENANCE

6.3.1 Quarterly Maintenance:
Every three months, check the operation of the Over-Temperature Switch as follows:
WARNING
THIS PROCEDURE WILL RELE ASE HOT WATER. TAKE APPRO PRIATE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID BURNS.
1) Refer to Section 3 (ADJUSTMENTS) and lower the Over Temperature setting to
approximately 5°F below the present Setpoint shown in the lower display of the Temperature Controller.
2) Verify that an Over-Temperature Alarm is generated and the following events occur:
The CXT -E Control Valve closes.
The Over-Temperature Solenoid (located at top of Heater) opens and expels water from
the system.
The Over-Temperature Switch generates an audible alarm.
3) Following successful completion of the Over-Temperature Alarm check, return the Over-
Temperature Switch setting to its original Over-Temper ature setting.
6.3.2 Annually:
Once each year, AERCO recommends that the Temperature Sensor(s) and Flow Sensor be checked to ensure there is no scale build-up or clogging that may degrade system operation. Proceed as follows:
1) Close the upstream and downstream water supply valves to the Heater.
2) For W ater-to-Water Heaters ( E-Plus or Double-Wall) where hot boiler water is the heating
fluid, turn off the inlet and outlet valves in the fluid lines.
3) Check the Temperature Sensors and Flow Sensor as described in the following paragraphs
and steps. Upon completion of the Annual checks, restore the Heater to operation by opening all valves which were closed in steps 1 and 2 above.
6.3.3 Temperature Sensors:
The Heater contains a Dual Temperature Sensor in the Heater outlet port. In addition, Water to Water Heaters (E-Plus or Double-Wall) using hot (boiler) water as the heating fluid also contain single-Element Sensors in the heating fluid inlet a nd outlet lines. Check and, if necessary, clean these items by performing the following step:
1) Disconnect and remove the Dual Temperature Sensor (Thermocouple) at the Heater out let
and inspect for evidence of scale buildup on the stainless steel sleeve. If necessary, clean the sensor using a wire brush.
2) For W ater-to-Water Systems, repeat step 1 for the Single-Element Sensors in the heating
fluid inlet and outlet lines.
3) After cleaning, reinstall the sensor(s) and ensure they are securely tightened.

6) After the Flow Sensor has been reassembled, reinstall the Sensor. Tighten the strain relief and connect the electrical connector.

6.4 HEAT EXCHANGER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CLEANING

AERCO recommends that the heat exchanger of the unit be cleaned annually using a solution of Hydroskrub and water. Hydroskrub is distributed by AERCO International, Inc. and is designed to dissolve the toughest water scale, lime, mud and rust deposits from virtually any type of water-based equipment.
NOTE:
The following cleaning procedure applies to all sizes WWDW and SWDW Heaters. For Helical Coil Type Water Heaters, refer to the applicable manuals listed in Section 1, page 1-8 of this document for cleaning/descaling procedures.
CAUTION
Please review MSDS, specifications, and our website www.aerco.com for additional information, or call technical service at (800) 526-0288.
CAUTION
Do not drain the unit without venting the shell! A vacuum in the unit may displace the liner causing serious damage not covered by warranty.
6.4.1 Pumpi ng System Set-Up Instructions:
Refer to the sample pumping set-up diagram shown in Figure 6-3 for a Double-Wall Heat Exchanger. For Helical Coil Heaters, refer to the applicable manuals listed in Section 1, paragraph 1.4.
1) Turn off the water heater and close the inlet and outlet isolation valves.
2) Drain at least half of the water-side volume from the heat exchanger. The amount of water drained will depend on the size of the heater.
3) Prepare a 50% solution of Hydroskrub and clean water. The amount of the solut ion should be approximately equal to the full volume of water that the heat exchanger holds.
4) Close the drain valve and connect a suitable size bucket and pump to the unit drain as shown in Figure 6-3.

Figure 6-3. Sample HydroSkrub Pumping System Set-Up for Double-Wall Heater
6.4.2 Cleaning Procedure:
1) Slowly add the prescribe amount of the Hydroskrub solution to the circulating bucket.
2) Open the drain and outlet hose connection valves and turn on t he pump. Periodically check for leaks and maintain the liquid level in the bucket. A lowering volume level is an indication that there is an open drain in the system.
3) Check the cleaning circuit to ensure that the HydroSkrub solution is flowing from the circulation bucket, through the pump and the heater and back to the top of the top of the bucket.
4) Return discharge foaming indicates an active HydroSkrub solution and the presence of mineral deposits in the equipment.
5) Additional HydroSkrub and/or water may be required to maintain circulation and to prevent the pump from cavitating.
6) Circulate through the Heat Exchanger and piping for 1 to 3 hours. Estimate the circulation period based on the time in service and water hardness. If the heating equipment is more than 40 gallons, the circulation time may need to be extended to complet e cleaning. When foaming action stops, HydroSkrub strength is depleted (two pounds of deposits removed per gallon used) or the equipment is free from calcium and other water-formed mineral deposits.

7) Periodically test the solution for effectiveness to determine if more HydroSkrub is needed. Refer to “Testing hydroSkrob Effectiveness” in the next paragraph for details. If t he cleaning solution is expended before circulation time is up, additional HydroSkrub will be needed and circulation time may be extended to complete the cleaning.
8) Upon completion of t he cleaning process, begin flushing the solution by adding clean water to the circulation bucket, then disconnect the return valve and hose connection from the top of the circulating bucket and thoroughly flush. Continue water flushing the equipment for a minimum of 10 minutes or until discharge runs clear.
9) HydroSkrub is biodegradable, and in most instances may be purged down sewers. Check with local authorities before disposing of any complex compositions
10) Turn off water, shut off the pump and immediately close discharge valves to prevent backflow.
11) Completely drain pump bucket. Disconnect hoses from equipment and thoroughly rinse the bucket, pump, and associated hoses used.
6.4.3 Testing HydroSkrub Effectiveness
There are two methods of testing the effectiveness of HydroSkrub during cleaning: the calcium carbonate spot test of the circulating solution and the charting of a trend in the pH of the cleaning solution.
6.4.4 Calcium Carbonate Spot Test:
A calcium carbonate spot test is performed by exposing a form of calcium carbonate to the HydroSkrub solution. Samples of the deposit, a Tums or Rolaids tablet, or bare concrete can be used. Observe the reaction of the HydroSkrub solution on the calcium carbonate. Foaming and bubbling indicates the solution is still active. Little or no reaction indicates that the solution is expended. This test should be performed near the end of the circulat ing time. If the solution has been expended, more HydroSkrub will be required to complete the job. If the solution is still active at the end of the time, all the scale has been dissolved.
6.4.5 pH Trend Charting:
The initial pH of the cleaning solution will measure between 1-3 (See pH sheet on HydroSkrub packaging). To test the effectiveness of the circulating solution as a function of pH, take readings at regular intervals and chart as a trend. Note that the deposits can cause a premature jump in the pH. After circulating for approximately 75% of the cycle time, begin testing the pH at 10-15 minute intervals. Once the solution’s pH reads 6.0-7.0 on three or more consecutive readings, the solution is expended. If the pH reads below 6.0 after the circulating time, the application is clean.

8. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

8. CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

8.1 INTRODUCTION

The Corrective Maintenance procedures are divided into two Parts. Par t 1 provides corrective maintenance for all sizes of Electronic Control Valves Type CXT-E. Part 2 provides corrective maintenance for the Electronic Control System (ECS).

8.2 PART 1 - CXT-E CONTROL VALVE CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

The corrective maintenance procedures for the Electronic Control Valve are divided into the following major areas:
Valve Shaft Seal Retainer Replacement
Valve Disassembly
Valve Reassembly
Actuator Replacement
Linkage Replacement
Refer to the applicable paragraphs which follow and perform the Corrective Maintenance steps indicated.
8.2.1 Valve Shaft Seal Retainer Replacement:
Refer to Figure 8-1 or Figure 8-2 and proceed as follows:
WARNING
Ensure that the Control Valve has been isolated from the st eam or hot (boiler) water supply. Live steam or hot water can cause serious burns to personnel.
WARNING!
Ensure that all electrical power to the Control System and Actuator have been disconnected. Serious personal injury may result if this Warning is not observed.
1) Loosen the Hex Nuts (17) under the Indicator Plate (Figure 8-1 or 8-2) approximately a half turn clockwise.
2) Disconnect the Linkage Adapter from the Valve Shaft (16) by turning the Shaft clockwise (as viewed from above). If the Valve Shaft cannot be turned by hand, use an open-end wrench to turn the “double-nuts” on the Shaft until it disengages the Linkage Adapter threads.
3) Remove the Indicator Plate from the Valve Shaft (16).
4) Remove the two Cap Screws (19) securing the Linkage Assembly (26) to the Valve Top (21).
5) Remove the complete Linkage Assembly (26), with the Actuator Assembly (27) still attached, from the Valve Top. Also, remove the Gasket (29).
6) If the Packing Nut (18) is faulty (leaking or binding the Valve Shaft), it must be replaced.

8.2.4 Actuator Replacement
There are no repairable parts contained in the Actuator. Therefore, if the Troubleshooting procedures in this Instruction Manual isolate the cause of the fault to the Actuator, it must be replaced as described in the following steps:
1) Disconnect and lock-out/tag-out AC power going to the Control Box. Use a voltmeter to ensure that all voltages are zero before continuing.
2) Disconnect the Control Box cable connected to the Actuator.
3) Using an 8 mm wrench, loosen the hex nuts securing the Actuator to the Linkage Shaft.
4) Completely remove the defective Actuator from the shaft.
5) To install the replacement Actuator, depress and hold the Clutch button (Figure 8 -5) and rotate the pointer to approximately 80° on the dial. Release the Clutch.
CAUTION
The clutch must NEVER be engaged with power applied or damage will result.
6) Next, slide the Actuator onto the Linkage Shaft.
7) Ensure that the pin on the Linkage Assembly is inserted in the cent er slot on the bottom of the Actuator (Figure 8-5).
8) Verify that the indicator plate on the Linkage Assembly is aligned with the 0 (zero) marking on the Linkage scale. Also, ensure that the Actuator Dial is approximately at the 80° position.
9) Ensure that the Pin on the Linkage is inserted in the center slot on the Actuator.
10) Using an 8 mm wrench, tighten the hex nuts on the U-bolt to secure the Actuator t o the shaft. Torque nuts to 60 in-lbs.

Figure 8-5. Actuator Replacement
8.2.5 Linkage Assembly Replacement
As Figure 8-6 shows, the Linkage Assembly Part No. will vary, depending on valve size. CXT-E valve sizes from 1.00 to 3.00 inches utilize Linkage Assembly Part No. 24038-1. However, 4.00 inch CXT-E Valves utilize Linkage Assembly Part No. 24038-2. The primary difference between the 24038-1 and 24038-2 Linkage Assemblies is the Adapter shown in Figure 8-6. In addition, the Linkage Pin location for the 24038-1 ass embly will vary for 1.00 to 2.00 inch valves and for
2.50 to 3.00 inch valves. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CORRECT ADAPTER AND PIN LOCATION BE USED FOR THE VALVE SIZE BEING REPAIRED. The Linkage Assembly is attached to the Control Valve Top with two Cap Screws. The Linkage Gasket (Part No. 81046) should also be replaced when installing a new Linkage Assembly.
