2�3�3 Position feedback
FieldQ Series patented, position sensing system
The FieldQ Series actuator (1) has a patented,
contactless position sensing system. This system
consists of a position probe (2) which is rides on a
special curve (4) in the pinion bottom.
The curve is shaped in such a way that the position
probe moves linearly and proportionally to the
rotation of the actuator pinion.
The linear movement of the position probe is used,
inside the control module (3) to operated the limit
switches.
WARNING:
Do not put the Control module in direct contact
with magnetic material. This can cause damage or
malfunction of the position feedback.
Installation of the FieldQ Series modules
For installation instructions of the modules see
chapter 4.

WARNING
FieldQ Series actuators must be isolated
both pneumatically and electrically before
(dis)assembly.
For commissioning, emergency or maintenance
purposes, the FieldQ Series can be supplied with one
or two Manual Control options. These can operate
the pilot valve(s) inside the module and as such
operate the actuator, when there is air pressure
available, but no control signal or power supply.
6�1 Mounting Manual Control
1 To add a Manual Control, remove the plug(s)
in front of the module and turn in the Manual
Control.
- For normal operation the module should be
fitted with one Manual Control.
- For Double Acting with a Fail-in-Last-Position
function, two Manual Control can be fitted.
6�2 Manual Control operation
1 The Manual Control has a “Push & Lock” function:
- To operate the Manual Control, use a screw
driver, push to activate and release to
de-activate the pilot valves.
- If required turn it 45°, to lock it in position and
keep the actuator in its operated state.
2 In case of a Fail in Last Position configuration with
two manual controls:
- The manual control on the right side (default
location) will pressurize the central air chamber
and cause the actuator to rotate counter clock
wise. For reverse acting FieldQ Series actuators
(Assembly code CC) the actuator will rotate
clock wise.
- The manual control on the left side (Location for
2nd Manual Control) will pressurize the end cap
air chambers and cause the actuator to rotate
clock wise. For reverse acting FieldQ Series
actuators (Assembly code CC) the actuator will
rotate counter clock wise.
- In order to operate one of the manual control,
be sure the opposite manual control is
de-activated and unlocked.
3 It is possible to rotate the screw multiple cycles.
The unit will than toggle every 90° between
“locked” (1) and “unlocked” (0).

8 Maintenance
CAUTION:
Actuator must be isolated both pneumatically and electrically before any (dis)assembly is begun.
Before mounting or (dis)assembling the actuator consult the relevant sections of this manual.
IMPORTANT
Under the European Pressure Equipment Directive, conversion of actuators may only be performed
by companies or personnel, authorized by Emerson.
8�1 General
All FieldQ Series actuators are supplied with sufficient lubrication for their normal working life. If required,
recommended lubrication for all standard actuators is a Castrol LMX, FINA Cera WR2 or equivalent. Periodic
checks should be performed to make certain that all fasteners remain tight.
Depending upon the conditions under which the actuator must work such as extended duty, or abnormal
operating conditions, periodic replacement of internal seals is recommended. Repair kits containing all
necessary seals and instructions can be obtained through authorized FieldQ Series distributors.
NOTE:
This product is only intended for use in large-scale fixed installations excluded from the scope of Directive
2011/65/EU on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic
equipment (RoHS 2)
8�2 Single acting / Spring Return actuators
On spring return actuators, the springs can be replaced.
SPRINGS SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPLACED IN COMPLETE SETS.
Spring kits are available through authorized FieldQ Series distributors.
8�3 FieldQ Series recommended spare parts
All soft seals, bearings, and nonreusable parts are included in the FieldQ Series recommended spare parts
kit.
The spare parts kit is identical for both the double acting and the spring return models. For the spring return
models we recommend a set of spare springs for each different model in addition to the recommended spare
parts kit. Keep in mind that, when necessary, springs are to be replaced in complete sets.
The following spare parts kits are available:
1 Repair kit for FieldQ Series actuator and all modules, available per actuator size.
2 Module seals kit, suitable for all module variations.
8�4 Position tracking device kits
The position tracking device takes care of the mechanical part of the feedback signal. In case the position
tracking device malfunctions, spares are available. Position tracking device kits are available per actuators
size and contain all necessary seals and lubricants. They can be obtained through authorized FieldQ Series
distributors.
8�5 Conversion kits
When the action of an actuator needs to be changed from spring return to double acting or visa versa,
conversion kits can be utilized. Two kinds of conversion kits are available:
1 Single acting (spring return) Conversion kits, to make a spring return actuator.
2 Double acting Conversion kits, to make a double acting actuator.
8�6 High Temp and Low Temp Conversion kits
For the FieldQ actuators with the NAMUR plate, special conversion kits are available to make the FieldQ
suitable for High temperature or Low temperature applications. There are no “High temp” or “Low temp”
conversion kits available for FieldQ actuators with modules.
