5.3 Principle of operation
The actuator runs by switching the voltage from the OPEN position to the CLOSE position.
By switching the voltage to the other input, the actuator runs from the CLOSE position
to the OPEN position.
The end positions are factory set to 0 and 90°. Additionally, any 3rd position (MIDDLE position)
can be adjusted, which is located between the OPEN position and the CLOSE position.
This position is not assigned at the factory.
End positions and Middle position can later be changed via the end position buttons, see
Chapter 9.2 “Adjusting end positions”, Page 61.

5.3.4 Overload protection
The supply unit of the EA 25/45/120/250 has an overload protection that protects the DC motor
and the power supply from overheating. The overload protection is activated as soon as the
load exceeds the torque range. The actuator motor resumes as soon as the load is in the
torque range and the temperature/current has gone down.
5.3.5 Safety position
During a power outage, the actuator remains in its current position. If the actuator is fitted
with the “fail-safe return unit” accessory, it can automatically move to a predefined safety
position (OPEN or CLOSE), in case of a power outage.
5.3.6 Heating element
The integrated heating element prevents condensation or icing inside the housing. It starts
heating from a preset value. The value depends on the ambient temperature, at which the
actuator is operated, and can be set manually. The default setting is <0 °C / <32 °F. When
the heating element is active, the dot on the 7 segment display is illuminated.
5.3.7 Emergency manual override
The integrated emergency manual override is used to run the actuator manually into another
position. The integrated emergency manual override allows the operation of the actuator to be
maintained for a short time if there is no current applied, e. g. during putting into operation or
during a power outage.
50
Page 14
Operating manual Design and function
Ex factory, the position feedback is wired as a normally closed contact (NC). On site,
this might also be implemented as a normally open contact (NO), subsequently.
Standard delivery is with a unit plug for position feedback OPEN/CLOSE. A unit plug
with additional pin for MIDDLE feedback can be ordered as an accessory or special
configuration. Each actuator is provided with this functionality. Connection via cable
gland is also possible.
