Introduction
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes installation, operation, and maintenance information for the Fisher 1078
declutchable manual actuator (figure 1). Refer to separate instruction manuals for instructions covering the power
actuator and control valve.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a 1078 declutchable manual actuator without being fully trained and qualified in
valve, actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage,
it is important to carefully read, understand, and follow all the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions
and warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson sales office
Partner before proceeding.

Table 1. Specifications
Instruction Manual
D101329X012
Available Configurations
Direct and reverse acting; see Handwheel Rotation in
this specification table
Actuator Sizes
See tables 2, 3, and 4
Acceptable Coupling Shaft Diameters
See tables 2, 3, and 4
Power Actuator Compatibility

Wheel‐Rim Force
See tables 2, 3, and 4
Handwheel Turns Required For Full Rotation
See tables 2, 3, and 4
Handwheel Rotation
Direct Acting Construction: Clockwise handwheel
rotation closes the valve (produces clockwise valve
shaft rotation)
Reverse Acting Construction: Clockwise handwheel
rotation closes the valve (produces counterclockwise
valve shaft rotation)
Decide whether Direct or Reverse Action is required
by referring to the appropriate valve or power
actuator instruction manual and determining valve
rotation.
Maximum Output Rotation
90 degrees; limited by travel stops in the power
actuator

Description
The 1078 manual actuator, shown in figures 1 and 2, is a declutchable unit for manual operation of control valves and
equipment that use power actuators. The 1078 manual actuator mounts directly to Fisher 1052 size 70; 1061 sizes 30,
40, 60, 68, 80, and 100; and to all sizes of 2052 actuators. The 1078 manual actuator can be engaged to allow manual
operation of the valve when the power actuator is not in use. It can be disengaged to allow automatic operation of the
valve by the power actuator. The mechanism used allows manual actuator engagement at any point of power actuator
rotation.

1. Field conversion of actuators for F and G mounting adaptations requires installation of new parts.
2. Compare table value with torque requirements of the valve plus the torque required to compress the power actuator spring (from Fisher Catalog 14). Note that dynamic torque of the valve
may have a positive or negative effect on total torque required.
