The JV-E electric actuator is designed for quarter turn applications on ball and butterfly valves with bases to ISO 5211
& DIN 3337 standard. Small, lightweight and compact in design but still offering high output torques.
Simple Installation
All connections are located in a
separate terminal box, minimising
the amount of disassembly required.
Efficient Design
High torques are achieved with
relatively low power consump-
Self Locking
The risk of overheating due to
repeated operations is avoided
with this feature.
High Visibility Position Indicator
Making visual checks easy even
from a distance.
Watertight Unit
IP68 Watertight (IP68 5m 120hr)
Captive Bolts
Bolts will not be lost even
when the cover is open.

4. Operation
User of Product should operate upon fully recognizing the potential danger caused by the inappropriate
management.
4-1. Operation
▷ Operation Voltage: Product is delivered with a voltage selected as per the demand of a user. Please use the
product after checking if the voltage of the site and the one in the product label are same before installation.
4-2. Limit Switch Setting
Our product is delivered with the limit switch adjusted basically as 90 degrees. However, please follow the below
guides if the opening/closing angles are not correct when the product is operated, or if the limit switch should be set
again according to the demand of the site.
Limit Switch Setting – JV-E05
Please open the cover by The indicator should be separated and
loosening the 4 bolts detached upward, and the cam fixing bolt
should be loosened with a hexagon key
CLOSE
The angle required by the user should be set by turning the wrench to the direction of CLOSE (CW) in a state
that it is stuck to the manual area and fully pressed. The wrench is attached to the product.
※ Refer tocautions
Rotate the upper cam out of the two cams for the 2 limit switches to be all pressed slightly while making a click
sound.
Page 7
OPEN
The angle required by the user should be set by turning the wrench to the direction of OPEN (CCW) in a state
that it is stuck to the manual area and fully pressed. The wrench is attached to the product.
※ Refer tocautions
Rotate the lower cam out of the two cams for the 2 limit switches to be all pressed slightly while making a click
sound.
※ Cautions ※ In case of JV-E05 series, the manual shaft must be rotated in a state that it is fully pressed by use of the
wrench equipped to the product. Even though rotated in a state it is not fully pressed, it can be opened and closed, but
it is much difficult as the connected motor is rotated together, and the different sound of motor rotation [wing] is
heard.
The cap fixing bolt should be fastened with The cover must be closed and the indicator
a wrench, and the indicator should be angled bolt should be fastened after checking if the
and stuck to the shaft. OPEN/CLOSE is correct.
※Cautions※ In case the indicator of is wrongly
stuck, the OPEN/CLOSE may be reversed when
the cover is closed. The bolt must be fastened after
closing the cover, and after checking if the
OPEN/CLOSE of the indicator is same with the
state of the product and the valve.
