1.0 General
HQ series electric actuators are design to provide reliable and efficient operation of 90 degree quarter turn
valves, dampers, etc.
Warning: Use caution when working in, with, or around valves and
actuators. High pressures, forces, voltages and flammable media can be
present
Warning: Failure to follow instructions for proper electrical wiring, storage,
set-up and maintenance may cause serious injury, damage equipment, or
void warranty.

5.0 Manual Override
The HQ-006 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
.

6.0 Electrical Connection
Move valve to mid-position by override nut. This will allow sufficient time to stop actuator in case of
improper hook-up
Identify means of removing power during hook-up
Be sure no erroneous remote control signals can be received causing actuator to energize
Electrically operate the valve in the open direction. If the valve closes, actuator must be stopped and
checked for improper field wiring
Set all field conduit entries in accordance with National Electric Code Requirements
7.0 Limit Switch Setting Instructions
•Operate the actuator manually to closed
position
•Using a hex wrench, loosen the cam adjustment
screw in the CLS limit switch cam
•Rotate the CLS cam towards limit switch lever
until the switch ‘clicks’
• Tighten set screw with hex wrench
• Operated the actuator manually to open position
• Using a hex wrench, loosen the cam adjustment
screw in the OLS limit switch cam
•Rotate the OLS can towards limit switch lever
until the switch ‘clicks’
• Tighten set screw with hex wrench
• Repeat for AOLS and ACLS
8.0 Lubrication
The HQ series actuators are totally enclosed units with a permanently lubricated gear trains (Moly EP
Grease). Once installed lubrication should not be required. However, periodic preventative maintenance
will extend the operating life of the actuator.
At least once a year a check should be made of your EIM HQ Series Actuator
Disconnect all power to actuator.
Open Electrical Enclosure. Inspect and tighten all electrical connections
Visually inspect for any electrical or mechanical damage. Replace worn or damaged components.
Check lubrication consistency and levels. Fill or replace if required.
Actuators must be stored in a clean, cool and dry area. The unit shall be stored with the cover installed and the
conduit openings sealed. Storage must be off the floor, covered with a sealed dust protector.
11.0 Trouble Shooting
The following instructions are offered for the most common difficulties encounter during installation and
start-up
Motor will not Run Open in control circuit Refer to appropriate wiring diagram
and check for continuity
Insulation resistance breakdown in motor Perform Megger Test
No power available to actuator Tripped circuit breaker Reset circuit breaker
Manual Override Nut hard to turn Valve stem improperly lubricated Lubricate with grease
Actuator lubrication has broken down Clean out old grease and replace
with recommended lubricant
Valve packing gland too tight Loosen packing gland nuts as
necessary
Jammed valve Refer to valve maintenance
Valve only opens or closes Limit switch improperly set Check setting and reset if necessary
partially with motor
Manual Override Nut will not Stripped gearing Replace as necessary
Operate valve Broken handwheel shaft Replace as necessary
Broken valve stem Repair or replace as necessary
Motor runs but will not operate Stripped gearing Replace as necessary
valve
