HQ 006 INTRODUCTION
This installation and operating manual explains how to install, operate and maintain HQ-006 electric actuators.
Safety notices in this manual detail precautions the user must take to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the
equipment. User must read these instructions before installation, operating, or maintenance.
DANGER: Refers to personal safety. Alerts the user to potential danger or harm. The hazard or unsafe practice will result
in severe injury or death.
WARNING: Refers to personal safety. Alerts the user to potential danger. Failure to follow warning notices could result in
personal injury or death.
CAUTION: Directs the user’s attention to general precautions that, if not followed could result in personal injury and/or equipment
damage.
Note: Highlights information critical to the user’s understanding of the actuators’ installation and operation.
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
The actuator name plate is located on the top cover of the actuator.
The name plate contains the following:
HQ logo (trade mark)
Electrical power supply
Model
Type
Rated current
Operating time (seconds)
Serial No.

Initial Inspection
Upon receipt of the actuator, inspect the condition of the product and ensure the name plate matches the order sheet or your
requirements, also check for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. If the wrong product has been shipped
immediately or is damaged report to the coordinator.
Storage
Actuators must be stored in a clean, cool and dry area. The unit shall be stored with the cover fastened and the conduit ope nings
sealed. Storage must be off the floor, covered with a seal dust protector.
When actuators are stored outdoors, they must be stored off the ground, high enough to prevent being immersed in water or
buried in snow.

Short - time duty S2 Intermittent duty S4
The operation time at a constant load is short, so that thermal equilibrium is not reached. The pause is long enough
for the machine to cool down to ambient temperature. The
duration of the short - time operation is limited to 15 min
(10 min, 30 min).
The duty is a sequence of identical cycles which consist of starting
time, operation time with constant load and rest period. The rest
period allows the machine to cool down so that so that thermal
equilibrium is not reached. The relative on-time at S4-25% or S450% is limited to 25% and 50% respectively

Heater
Condensation in the actuator is possible due to wide fluctuation of the ambient temperature. The heater integrated in the co ntrol
unit prevents this in general.
Manual Hand Wheel and Lever
HQ actuators are provided with a manual operation system.
The HQ006 actuator comes standard with a manual override nut.
This is located on the bottom of the unit, and can be easily operated with a 5M wrench.
Turn the hand wheel until the valve reaches the required position
Turn clockwise to open and counter clockwise to close
When nut becomes tight DO NOT FORCE further as this will cause serious damage to the gearing.
CAUTION: The manual nut is to facilitate the setting up of the actuator drive to the valve shaft at time of assembly or to drive the
valve to a fail safe position in the event of power failure. It is NOT designed to free up a jammed valve. Using the manual nut
when the valve is tight or jammed will damage the gears and void any warranty.
To free up a tight or jammed valve you must remove the actuator from the valve, using a spanner directly on the valve shaft, rotate
until it turns freely.
If the torque required to move the valve is greater than the rated output torque of the actuator the unit will not operate.

Note: The override engagement lever returns automatically to auto position when the actuator is operated electrically.
Lubrication
HQ is a totally enclosed unit with a permanently lubricated gear train (Moly EP Grease). Once installed lubrication should n ot be
required. However, periodic preventative maintenance will extend the operating life of the actuator.
