1. Introduction
This instruction manual contains all the information regarding design, installation and start-up
procedure for the electrical actuator unit type
EA 30.
Warnings:
쐌 Do not work on this unit before disconnecting it
from the mains!
쐌 The actuator is factory preset to a mains
voltage of 230 V AC. By all means refer to
Item 2.1.
쐌 Electric actuators do not have a safety position.
In case of a mains breakdown, the actuator
resp. the valve remains in its actual position.
≠ Any work done on the actuator may only be
carried out by authorized and trained
personnel.
≠ These products are according to the Machine
Guidelines 98/37/EG (ancient 89/392/EWG),
not regarded as machines; they are, however,
built into installations which are regarded as
machines.
44
Note
We distinctly emphasize that operation is
prohibited until it has been confirmed that the
machine (plant) into which the products have
been built corresponds to the conditions of the
EC Machine Guidelines 98/37/EG (ancient
89/392/EWG).

2. Design of the actuator
The standard version of the electrical actuator
EA 30 consists of the following elements: spurwheel gear, DC motor, power supply board as
well as components for limit positioning. For
special applications, the actuator can be
equipped with additional modular components
(see Item 6).

3. Design of Actuated Valve
The electrical actuator type EA 30 can be
mounted on a valve via a suitable intermediate
housing. The actuators are delivered ex factory
in the <open> position. Pictured below under 3.1
and 3.2 are the assembly parts necessary for
the automatic butterfly valve type 035 as well as
the automatic ball valve type 108 from George
Fischer. Both end positions (open and closed)
are pre-set in the factory. It is necessary to readjust them after the customer has assembled the
unit (see Item 4).

4. Installation of the actuator
Warning:
Before the actuator is connected to the mains,
the following must be checked:
≠ is the actuator adjusted to the correct mains
voltage?
(see Item 2.1)
≠ are the electrical connections correct?
(see Item 2.2)
Adjustments
If a complete actuated valve is being supplied
by George Fischer, no further adjustments are
necessary. If the customer assembles the unit or
afer a repair, the end positions must be checked
and if necessary adjusted. Adjustments can only
be done on dismounted valves.
Limit switch positions
Switch S1 opens at <open> position
Switch S2 opens at <closed> position
(see diagram in the margin)
S2
S1
Procedure
Both switching cams S1 and S2 are to be
adjusted so that the actuating angle is less than
90°쏝). Drive the actuator until one limit switch,
either <closed> or <open> is operated.
The end positions can be adjusted by moving the
switching cams, as the actuator follows them.
쐌 For George Fischer ball valves an exact
90°쏝) rotation should be set.
쐌 For George Fischer butterfly valves the
<closed> position should be adjusted according to the following directions.

Setting the <closed> position in actuators
At the <closed> position in butterfly valves the
disk is not exactly vertical to the pipe axis. Deviation values can be taken from the following
table.

6. Assembly and Connection
of Modular Components
The electrical actuator EA 30 is equipped with
fastening points which allow for additional
modular components to be mounted.
The configuration of these points is described
under Section 2. The electrical connection is made
by means of a second cable plug or a threaded
cable joint (depending on the number of
connecting wires). The respective kits are prepared
for installation, the electric cables are cut to size
and package accordingly.
In the following sections, the corresponding
assembly points and the wiring are illustrated.

identical to those under 6.1.
An additional metal part must be mounted so
that the active surface of the inductive switch
can be activated.

The potentiometer must be mounted on closed
valves. Before mounting, the potentiometer must
be turned to the end position, so that 0–⏲ ist
measured between the red and the white connecting wires.
