The ADC-Series consists of two different sized enclosures
that cover different torque ranges. Model codes that start
with “ADC” indicate the standard enclosure and a torque
rating in the range from 150 to 600 in•lbs. “LADC” designates
the larger enclosure and a torque rating in the range from
1000 to 3000 in•lbs.
The ADC-Series Actuators provide an optional internal
battery pack to power the actuator in the event of a loss
of external power. Actuators with battery back-up are
identified in the model code by either a “UL2”, “UL3”,
“UL4”, “UL5”, “UL6” or “UL7”. The “UL2”, “UL4” and “UL6”
options are applicable in a standard ADC enclosure and
the “UL3”, “UL5”and “UL7” options are applicable in a LADC
enclosure. The “UL4” and “UL5” options are factory-set for
180° operation with the MID position factory set at 90°;
and the “UL6” and “UL7” options are factory-set for 270°
operation.
The ADC-Series Actuators’ base electronic package consists
of two separate boards; P/N VCB00010 Universal Control
Board and the Switching Power Supply allowing for the
choice of 115VAC, 230VAC, 12VDC, 24VDC or 24VAC

4. GENERAL INSTALLATION
INFORMATION
4.1 Interface
1 - CAL – A continuous yellow LED indicates that the CAL
(calibration) mode has been selected. A flashing yellow LED
displays to the user how close they are to hitting the CAL point
depending on the speed of the flashes. The CAL mode allows the
user to calibrate the position tracking potentiometer without
the use of an ohmmeter or other electronic instruments. In CAL
mode the actuator will travel beyond the saved settings for the
Zero and Span stop positions.
2 - ZERO – A continuous yellow LED indicates that the ZERO
mode has been selected. ZERO mode permits the user to
set the desired Zero end-of- travel stop position with a
corresponding control signal value. The Zero position is
typically the fully clockwise position and minimum control
signal value, but Zero may be set at any position.
3 - MID - A continuous yellow LED indicates that the MID
mode has been selected. MID mode permits the user to
save the desired “MID” position. The MID position may be
set at any position inside (between) the saved Zero and
Span end-of-travel positions. (MID is not typically used
with the Position Control configuration but can be used
as a mid-travel “fail” position upon loss of external power,
provided the actuator is equipped with a back-up battery.)
4 - SPAN – A continuous yellow LED indicates that the SPAN
mode has been selected. SPAN mode permits the user to set
the desired Span end-of-travel stop with a corresponding
control signal value. Typically, the Span position is the fully
counterclockwise position and maximum control signal
value, but Span may be set at any position.
5 - MAN (MANUAL) – A continuous yellow LED indicates that
Manual Control mode has been selected. The actuator will
not respond to external control signals and the [CW] and
[CCW] push buttons are enabled for manually driving the
actuator in either direction. In Manual mode the actuator
will not travel beyond the saved settings for the Zero and
Span stop positions.
6 - RUN – A continuous green LED indicates that the normal
operating mode has been selected. In RUN mode the actuator
will respond external signals supplied to the Universal Control
Board. This LED will turn off in Energy Save mode.
7 - ENTER – located directly below the mode selector and
permits the user to activate modes and confirm settings by
pressing the [ENTER] button.
8 - CW (CLOCKWISE) – A continuous yellow LED indicates
that the actuator is driving in the CW direction. Located
next to the Manual Control push button to drive the
actuator in the CW direction.
9 - CCW (COUNTER-CLOCKWISE) – A continuous yellow
LED indicates the actuator is driving in the CCW direction.
Located next to the Manual Control push button to drive
the actuator in the CCW direction.
10 - Motor Stall – A flashing red LED indicates a stall
condition exists and that the actuator has been prevented
from reaching the position commanded by the control
signal. A STALL of more than several seconds will cause
power to be automatically removed from the motor circuit,
placing the actuator in a safe mode. A reverse signal or a
manual mode [CW] or [CCW] movement is required to clear
the stall condition. A STALL condition can be initiated by
a blockage in the valve or damper, cam limit settings that

are inside of the electronically saved travel stop positions,
or some other increase in the torque load on the actuator.
11 - Battery Charging* – A continuous yellow LED indicates
that the battery charging circuit is active to either charge or
maintain the voltage on the Battery.
12 - Battery Charged* – A continuous green LED indicates
that the battery is fully charged. A flashing green LED
indicates the actuator is running on battery power. This LED
will turn off in Energy Save mode.
* NOTE: Battery Charging and Battery Charged LEDs may be lit at the
same time depending on the battery charge state.
13 - Switch Trip – A continuous red LED indicates that one of the
end-of-travel limit switches has been “tripped” by the respective
cam; this LED is intended to aid initial actuator set-up.
Figure 5
4.2 Operation Mode Selector Pot
The Universal Control Board is equipped with an Operation
Mode Selector Pot which allows the user to select the 6
modes of operation during calibration and set-up. LED
indicators around the knob correspond to each of the
modes; RUN, Manual (MAN), SPAN, MID, ZERO and Calibrate
(CAL). When the Universal Control Board mode dial is set to
any mode, the corresponding LED turns on, indicating the
mode is selected.
In MAN (Manual) and CAL mode the unit will ignore any
external control signals and respond only to the on-board
push buttons (it should be noted that if the unit is equipped
with an optional back-up battery and loss of power should
occur while in MAN and CAL mode, the unit will drive to the
selected “Power Fail” position).
4.4 Travel Limit Cam and Switch Operation
With the Universal Control Board installed, the travel limit
stops are set electronically as the Zero and Span position.
Two limit switches operated by the cams on the output
shaft are safety stops. Their intended function is to prevent
damage in the event of a failure of the electronic limits.
Therefore: Each cam must be set to operate the switch
slightly outside of the electronic Zero and Span position
range. Failure to set the cams properly may cause the
actuator to stall when it cannot reach the commanded
and electronically set end of travel position. The bottom
limit switch determines clockwise safety stop position.
The next limit switch, up from the bottom, determines the
counterclockwise safety stop position. Auxiliary switches
and the corresponding cams will be the third and fourth up
from the bottom.
Travel limits, also referred to as “end of travel stops”, are
the precise positions to which the actuator will drive. For
“2 Wire” or “3 Wire” On/Off operation, travel limits are set
at the full clockwise (CW) and full counter-clockwise (CCW)
ends of travel.
To simplify the process of setting the precise travel limit
positions, the ADC-Series provides two On/Off travel limit
types. CW, CCW and MID may be set electronically via the
“Smart” limit utility or CW and CCW may be set mechanically
by selecting the “Cam” limit type.
Figure 4
4.3 Control Mode Selector Pot
The Universal Control Board is equipped with a Control
Mode Selector Pot which enables the user to select
between various “On/O Control” and “Position Control”
modes.
IMO 6/18
4.4.1 Smart Limit
When “Smart” is selected as the limit type, the microprocessor
stores the exact positions where the actuator will stop at
each end of travel or mid position. Setting the “Smart”
limit positions for the ZERO (typically CW), MID, and SPAN
(typically CCW) positions is done with the selector knob
and [ENTER] button in the Operation field of the Universal
Control board. To use the Smart limit features, the Feedback
Potentiometer must be installed, connected and calibrated
and the travel stop cams must be set to trip the switches
slightly beyond the desired “electronic” stop positions for
ZERO and SPAN. The end-of-travel limits on ADC actuators
can be entered and saved between 0° and 270° of travel.
For 180° and 270° rotation alternate potentiometer gearing
is required (refer to option code). For “Three-Position”
operation, limits must be entered and saved using the
“Smart” Limit!
IMO-I4900 EN 7
4.4.2 Cam Limit
When “Cam” is selected as the limit type, two limit switches
operated by the stainless steel cams on the output shaft
extension are used to determine the exact positions where
the actuator will stop at each end of CW and CCW travel. The
bottom limit switch determines the clockwise stop position.
The next limit switch, up from the bottom determines the
counter-clockwise stop position. The “end of travel limit”
switches can be adjusted to provide from 5 to 320 degrees
of actuator rotation. For “Three-Position” operation, limits
must be entered and saved using the “Smart” Limit!
4.5 Built-In Heater/Thermostat Feature
The Universal Control Board is equipped with a built-in
Heater/Thermostat Option that can be enabled for lowtemperature use (environments where the temperature will
drop below 32° Fahrenheit), high-humidity use (“tropical”
environments), or disabled completely to conserve power, in
environments where the climate is stable and/or controlled.
NOTE: All heater modes are disabled in “Energy Save” mode.
The Heater/Thermostat is enabled/disabled by sliding a
switch on the Universal Control Board. See graphic below
for proper positioning:

6. ON/OFF CONTROL See Figure 5
6.1 The three methods of On/Off Control:
The On/Off Control mode allows the actuator to drive in a
desired direction in response to an application of voltage to
the desired inputs. The different modes are as follows:
6.1.1 “2 Wire CW”
The actuator will default to the CCW position when main
actuator power is present; the actuator will drive CW when
the “CW” control power is energized.
6.1.2 “2 Wire CCW”
The actuator will default to the CW position when main
actuator power is present; the actuator will drive CCW when
the “CCW” control power is energized.
To control the actuator with a high voltage signal (115VAC
or 230VAC): Connect AC L2/NEUT to terminal F on the
Universal Control Board. Energize AC L1/HOT at terminal
C on the Universal Control Board to drive the actuator
clockwise (CW). Energize AC L1/HOT at terminal D on the
Universal Control Board to drive the actuator to the “MID”
position. Energize AC L1/HOT at terminal E on the Universal
Control Board to drive the actuator counter-clockwise
(CCW).
The actuator will drive CCW when the “CCW” control power
is energized and drive CW when the “CW” control power
is energized; if control power is removed mid-travel, the
actuator will stop in position. The actuator will drive to the
programmed “MID” position when the “MID” control power
is energized. The “MID” position is optional and can be set
anywhere inside of the CW and CCW end-of-travel positions
settings to provide a Three-Position “Center-Off” position,
or a “Dribble Feed” position.
6.1.4 “3 Wire Latching” Operation
The actuator will “latch” and drive CCW when the “CCW”
control power is momentarily energized. The actuator
will “latch” and drive CW when the “CW” control power is
momentarily energized. After energizing the control power
can be removed, as the direction of travel is “latched” in and
the unit will continue to drive to the respective travel limit.
The actuator will “latch” and drive to the programmed “MID”
position when the “MID” control power is momentarily
energized. The “MID” position is optional and can be set
anywhere inside of the CW and CCW end-of-travel positions
settings to provide a Three-Position “Center-Off” position,
or a “Dribble Feed” position.
6.2.2 Low Voltage:
To control the actuator with a low voltage signal (12VDC,
24VDC or 24VAC): Connect 12/24DC NEG or 24AC NEUT to
terminal 8 on the Universal Control Board. Energize DC POS
or 24AC HOT at terminal 9 on the Universal Control Board to
drive the actuator clockwise (CW). Energize DC POS or 24AC
HOT at terminal 10 on the Universal Control Board to drive
the actuator to the “MID” position. Energize DC POS or 24AC
HOT at terminal 11 on the Universal Control Board to drive
the actuator clockwise (CCW).

6.3 Set Up and Calibration
6.3.1 Initial Set Up
1. Remove actuator cover. Remove the override shaft
from the actuator cover bushing; if the actuator is
equipped with a handwheel, remove the handwheel
before removing the top piece of the “two-piece” shaft
from the cover bushing. NOTE: Use caution to prevent
damage to machined flange surface of cover casting;
see cover replacement for additional information.
2. Select LIMIT type “Smart” or “Cam” by sliding the
[Smart/Cam] switch down to select Cam or up to
select Smart. Selecting Smart will enable other
features on the board such as Position Feedback and
“Three- Position” operation. Selecting Cam will allow
the actuator to drive between the end-of-travel limit
switch settings.
3. Select Control Method “2 Wire CCW”, “2 Wire CW”, or
“3 Wire” by turning the selection potentiometer with a
small flat blade screwdriver.
6.3.2 Potentiometer Calibration
Field installation of the Universal Control Board or replacement
of the position tracking potentiometer requires calibration of
the position tracking potentiometer prior to setting positions
and values for ZERO, MID and SPAN. Universal Control Boards
installed at the factory are fully calibrated at the factory and
should not require further calibration.
To confirm proper potentiometer calibration:
1. Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [CAL] and press [ENTER]
for 2 seconds.
2. Using the CW pushbutton, drive the actuator to the
full clockwise position. - If the [CAL] LED is flashing,
potentiometer calibration is required; proceed to step
3 below. - If the [CAL] LED remains on, calibration is
not required; proceed to Setting ZERO, MID and SPAN
Positions section below.
3. Loosen the set screw in the gear with a 1/16” hex
wrench.

7.1.3 “Resistive” Control (up to 10K Ohm)
The actuator will modulate between positions in direct
response to the change in the input resistive signal.
7.2 Position Control Signal Wiring
NOTE: For actuators including hazardous location certica-
tion. Prior to installing cover, inspect machined ange surfaces
for any damage, scratches, or dents. Damage, scratches, or
dents that will not t completely in a circle having a diameter of 1/64” will void hazardous location certications. If such
imperfections are present the damaged enclosure parts(s)
must be replaced. Consult the factory for replacement parts.
1. Remove the override shaft from the actuator cover
bushing; if the actuator is equipped with a handwheel,
remove the handwheel before removing the top piece
of the “two-piece” shaft from the cover bushing.
2. Install the override shaft on the square motor shaft; if
the actuator is equipped with a handwheel, install the
bottom piece of the “two-piece” shaft on the motor
shaft and then install the top piece of the shaft onto
the bottom piece of the shaft.
3. Align cover so that the override shaft will pass through
the override bushing and carefully push it down so
that the cover flange contacts the base flange.
4. Once the cover is properly seated, tighten the screws
to secure the cover; a cross pattern is recommended
for uniform distribution of load.
5. If the position indicator is not seated to the output/
cam shaft, turn until it drops into place in order to
ensure accurate visual position indication.
7. POSITION CONTROL See Figure 5
7.1 The three methods of Position Control
The Position Control mode allows the actuator to modulate
(change position) in response to a change in an analog or
resistance control signal. The different modes are as follows:
Figure 11
7.2.1 Analog Control Wiring
To control the actuator with a 4-20mA or 0-10V analog
signal: Connect mA / VDC - (NEG) to terminal 16 and mA /
VDC + (POS) to terminal 15 on the Universal Control Board
Slide the [Input] switch up to select 0-10V or down to select
4-20mA.
7.2.2 Resistive Control Wiring
To control the actuator with a resistance signal such as 0135 Ohms: Connect Resistance Signal - (NEG) to terminal
14, Resistance Signal Wiper to terminal 13, and Resistance
+ (POS) to terminal 12 on the Universal Control Board. The
board will respond to resistance signals up to 10K Ohms
(minimum SPAN signal is 100 Ohms; i.e. signal = 0-100 Ohms).

7.3 Set Up and Calibration
7.3.1 Initial Set Up
1. Remove actuator cover. Remove the override shaft
from the actuator cover bushing; if the actuator is
equipped with a handwheel, remove the handwheel
before removing the top piece of the “two-piece” shaft
from the cover bushing. NOTE: Use caution to prevent
damage to machined flange surface of cover casting;
see cover replacement for additional information.
2. Select LIMIT type “Smart” by sliding the [Smart/Cam]
switch up to select Smart. Selecting Smart will enable
other features on the board such as Position Feedback.
3. Select Control Method “Analog” or “Resistive” by
turning the selection potentiometer with a small flat
blade screwdriver.
7.3.2 Potentiometer Calibration
Field installation of the Universal Control Board option
or replacement of the position tracking potentiometer
requires calibration of the position tracking potentiometer
prior to setting positions and values for ZERO, MID and SPAN.
Universal Control Board options installed at the factory are
fully calibrated at the factory and should not require further
calibration. To confirm proper potentiometer calibration:
1. Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [CAL] and press [ENTER]
for 2 seconds.
2. Using the CW pushbutton, drive the actuator to the
full clockwise position. - If the [CAL] LED is flashing,
potentiometer calibration is required; proceed to step
3 below. - If the [CAL] LED remains on, calibration is
not required; proceed to Setting ZERO, MID and SPAN

4. Rotate the gear until the LED remains on constantly;
hold the gear in place and tighten the set screw. Ensure
that the LED remains on after the set screw is tightened.
NOTE: The LED assists the user in locating the proper
calibration window; it will flash faster as you approach
the calibration window and slower as you move away
from it.
5. Press the [ENTER] button to save the potentiometer
setting.
7.3.3 Setting ZERO, MID, and SPAN Positions
Once (feedback potentiometer) calibration has been
confirmed, set the desired “end of travel” positions. Make
certain that the limit switch cams are set to operate the
switches beyond the desired range for the ZERO and SPAN
positions. ZERO and SPAN may be set at any position
between 0° and 94° of travel (0° and 184° with “U4”, “UL4” or
“UL5” option; or 0° and 274° with “U6”, “UL6” or “UL7” option).
Set ZERO (typically CW):
1. Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [ZERO] and press
[ENTER] for 2 seconds. The [ZERO] LED will begin to
flash.
2. Drive the actuator to desired clockwise position using
the CW or CCW push button. If the “STALL” LED
begins to flash; check to see if the limit switch cam is
preventing actuator from reaching desired ZERO endof-travel (the “Switch Trip” LED will be illuminated).
If necessary back the cam off so that it will trip the
switch slightly beyond the desired end-of-travel and
the “Switch Trip” LED will go out.
3. Apply the desired Analog Signal that will correspond
with the Zero position (ie 4mA).
4. Press the [ENTER] button to save the ZERO setting.
3. Loosen the set screw in the gear with a 1/16” hex
wrench.
IMO 6/18
12 IMO-I4900 EN
Set MID: (if applicable)
1. Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [MID] and press [ENTER]
for 2 seconds. The [MID] LED will begin to flash.
2. Drive the actuator to the desired MID or “THIRD”
position using the CW or CCW push button.
3. Press the [ENTER] button to save the MID setting.
Set SPAN (typically CCW):
1. Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [SPAN] and press
[ENTER] for 2 seconds. The [SPAN] LED will begin to
flash.
2. Drive the actuator to desired counterclockwise position
using the CW or CCW push button. If the “STALL” LED
begins to flash; check to see if the limit switch cam is
preventing actuator from reaching desired SPAN endof-travel (the “Switch Trip” LED will be illuminated).
If necessary, back the cam off so that it will trip the
switch slightly beyond the desired end-of-travel and
the “Switch Trip” LED will go out.
3. Apply the desired Analog Signal that will correspond
with the Span position (ie 20mA).
4. Press the [ENTER] button to save the SPAN setting.
7.3.4 Verify End-Of-Travel Settings:
1. Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [RUN].
2. Apply various control signals to verify operation.
3. Verify that the “Switch Trip” LED is not illuminated at
either the ZERO or SPAN positions (if it is, “back” the
respective end-of-travel cam “o” of the respective
limit switch).
3. Align cover so that the override shaft will pass through
the override bushing and carefully push it down so
that the cover flange contacts the base flange.
4. Once the cover is properly seated, tighten the screws
to secure the cover; a cross pattern is recommended
for uniform distribution of load.
5. If the position indicator is not seated to the output/
cam shaft, turn until it drops into place in order to
ensure accurate visual position indication.
7.4 Deadband Adjustment
Dead Band is the window of control signal change which
the actuator will ignore. The sensitivity of the actuator to
respond to changes in the control signal is adjustable.
Minimum Dead Band (1%) allows the actuator to respond
to small control signal changes. Maximum Dead Band (3%)
allows the actuator to ignore small control signal changes
(such as noise on the control signal).
7.5 Signal Fail Options
In the event that the control signal to the actuator is lost
and external power is still applied, the Signal Fail position
selector switch on the Universal Control Board provides
options for the actuator to drive to the Zero (minimum
signal) position, the Span (maximum signal) position, or to
remain at its “Last” (current) position. NOTE: If you use a
0- 10VDC control signal, the actuator cannot differentiate
between a 0VDC signal and an actual loss of signal;
therefore, it will drive to the “Zero” position regardless of
the switch setting.
4. Replace actuator cover.
7.3.5 Proper Actuator Cover Replacement
NOTE: For actuators including hazardous location certi-
cation. Prior to installing cover, inspect machined ange
surfaces for any damage, scratches, or dents. Damage,
scratches, or dents that will not t completely in a circle
having a diameter of 1/64” will void hazardous location certications. If such imperfections are present the damaged
enclosure part(s) must be replaced. Consult the factory for
replacement parts.
1. Remove the override shaft from the actuator cover
bushing; if the actuator is equipped with a handwheel,
remove the handwheel before removing the top piece
of the “two-piece” shaft from the cover bushing.
2. Install the override shaft on the square motor shaft; if
the actuator is equipped with a handwheel, install the
bottom piece of the “two-piece” shaft on the motor
shaft and then install the top piece of the shaft onto
the bottom piece of the shaft.
IMO 6/18
IMO-I4900 EN 13
8. POSITION FEEDBACK AND STATUS
INDICATORS
8.1 Position Feedback
The Position Feedback provides an analog indication of the
actuator output position scaled between the configured
Zero and Span positions.
The 4-20mA Feedback circuit will power down if no
impedance is measured on the output terminals in both
Normal and Energy Save Mode operation. This is to stop any
unnecessary power drain while the 4-20mA feedback circuit
is not connected. Keep the metering circuit connected to
ensure that the feedback will be available as needed. If the
actuator position changes and there is a metering circuit
connected, then the feedback circuit will resume operation
and track the position.
8.1.2 0-10VDC
The 0-10V Feedback can only be used with internally (by
the actuator) supplied power.
The Position Feedback switches are also important. The
Power Switch should be up into the “Int” position and the
Signal Switch should be up into the “0-10V” position.
8.2 Status Indicators
8.2.1 Auxiliary Switches
Two auxiliary limit switches will provide position indication
for customer use. The switches are dry contacts that can
be used to operate other devices. Switches are single pole,
double throw; rated for 11A, 1/2HP, 250VAC, CSA certified.
Figure 13
8.1.1 4-20mA
The 4-20mA Feedback can be powered either internally (by
the actuator) or externally (by the loop).
If the Position Feedback will be powered internally, connect
as follows: NEG to terminal 5; POS to terminal 7.
If the Position Feedback will be powered externally, it is
extremely important to terminate the customer supplied
+24VDC to the correct terminal on the Universal Control
Board. The Position Feedback switches are also important.
The Power Switch should be down in the “Ext” position
and the Signal Switch should be down into the “4-20mA”
position. (See Figure 14 for wiring options).
8.2.2 Power Status Relay
The Power Status Relay is “high” if external voltage (1224VDC, 24VAC power inputs to the board and the output
from the Switching Power Supply to the board) is greater
than 12.5V. The relay is “low” if external voltage drops
below 10.5V and will alternate between “high” and “low” if
the motor is stalled.
8.2.3 Battery Status Relay
The Battery Status Relay is “high” if battery is present (Vbat
>= 6V) and fully charged (Charger current is <10mA); if
the relay switches to “low” the back-up battery should be
checked/replaced. NOTE: After a loss of external power,
the Battery Status Relay may show “low” for a period of time
while the battery is charging.
9. POWER MANAGEMENT
9.1 Battery
With the optional battery backup (included with options
UL2, UL3, UL4, UL5, UL6 & UL7), the actuator will sense the
loss of main input power to the Universal Control Board
and immediately switch to internal battery power. When
line power returns, the actuator will automatically resume
normal operation.
Figure 14
The battery charging voltage has been designed for
optimum battery performance. When the charging circuit
is active (even when topping off charge or in sleep mode),
the yellow Charging LED will light. After reaching full
charge, the green Charged LED will light. *Fully charged,
the battery voltage will reach approximately 13.6 volts.
IMO 6/18
14 IMO-I4900 EN
This voltage is designed to vary with temperature, and
could be as high as 14.4 volts if in a very cold environment,
or as low as 12.8 volts if in a very warm environment.
This is normal operation. A battery case that is swollen or
cracked must be replaced. Please consult the factory for
replacement. If the battery does not reach full charge (the
green Charged LED remaining on and the yellow Charging
LED turning off) within 48hrs, consult the factory or your
local representative.
* NOTE: Battery Charging and Battery Charged LEDs may be lit at the
same time depending on the battery charge state.
Replacement battery packs should be stored only after a full
charge and at less than 80°F. Temperature can affect battery
shelf life. Generally lower temperatures will increase shelf
life while higher temperatures will decrease shelf life. When
recharging battery packs, they should only be recharged
from the Universal Control Board charging circuit, which
is calibrated to provide the proper voltage and current for
maximum battery pack life, or from a Metso recommended
battery charger.
The only suggested maintenance is to examine, and if
necessary, replace the batteries every two years. Battery
life can vary with temperature. Cooler environments will
generally prolong battery life and under ideal conditions
ADC batteries will last in excess of five years. To change the
batteries, perform the following:
1. Disconnect power to the actuator.
2. Remove actuator cover and set aside carefully so as not
to damage the machined flange.
3. Disconnect battery connection at the Universal Control
board.
4. Unhook one side of the battery hold-down strap.
5. Remove the battery.
6. Install new battery and replace hold-down strap.
7. Plug battery connector into the connector into the
Universal Control Board.
8. Replace actuator cover.
with an optional Back-Up Battery can be configured to drive
the actuator and “Park” immediately at the designated
power loss Fail position and “go to sleep”.
In “Multi” mode it will continue to cycle on battery power
while a control signal and adequate battery power remain
available. When “Multi” is selected, the actuator will cycle
until a low battery power condition is detected then
automatically drive to and remain at the designated power
loss or Fail Position.
In “Multi” mode a fully charged battery will provide up to
ten complete 90 degree cycles under optimum conditions.
Upon reaching the power loss position, the system will “go
to sleep” until input power is restored.
9.3 “Wake Up”and Manually Drive
Actuator
Manually Drive the Actuator (Using the Battery) During
Power Outage (If using “Park” Power Fail Control selection)
After the battery drives the actuator to the Power Loss
Position, the Universal Control Board powers down and
remains in “sleep” mode until external power returns. To
“wake” the actuator, to control it with the external control
signal or to enable the CW or CCW push buttons for manual
control, move the Power Fail Controls switch to “Multi”
mode and press [Enter]. This will “wake” the electronics and
the actuator can be manually operated via the CW or CCW
push buttons until low battery power level is detected. To
“park” the actuator and revert it back to sleep mode flip the
Power Fail switch back to “Park” mode and the actuator will
drive to the fail position and go back to sleep.
9.4 Energy Save Mode
The ADC-Series Universal Control Board is equipped with
an “Energy Save” mode in which the unit will “doze” when
a control signal change is not detected after a one-minute
time-out; this is especially beneficial in solar applications
where the continuous power draw can be minimized
considerably by using “Energy Save” mode. Once a signal
change is detected, the unit will “wake” and respond; if no
additional changes are made within one minute, the unit
will again enter the “doze” cycle.
9. Apply power.
9.2 Power Fail Controls
The ADC-Series Universal Control Board is designed to be
easily configured to drive to either the CW, CCW or MID
position upon loss of actuator power. This is the power loss
or “Fail” position.
When designating MID as the power loss or “Fail”position,
the limit type must be set at “Smart” and the MID position
must have been entered and saved in the “Operation” field
otherwise the Actuator will calculate a default MID position
between the calibrated Zero and Span positions.
The ADC-Series Universal Control Board is designed to
provide continuing service in the event of a loss of external
power. Upon power loss the ADC-Series actuator, equipped

16. GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION
For enclosure specifications and dimensions, see (Tables
1-2 and Figure 26).
16.1 Enclosure Ratings and Product
Certifications Metso offers two versions of ADC-Series actuator
enclosures: the “W” enclosure is weathertight, and the “WX”
enclosure which is weathertight and explosion-proof.
16.2 Operating Temperature Limits
ADC-Series actuators are designed to operate in ambient
environments between -40˚F (-40˚C) and 130˚F (55˚C). In
outdoor applications where ambient temperatures exceed
80˚F, actuators should be shielded from direct sunlight.
In applications with high media temperatures, insulating
blankets, heat shields and/or extended mounting shafts
should be used to maintain ambient temperatures at the
actuator within normal operating limits.
Activation of the heater and thermostat option is
recommended for all outdoor applications and may also be
used to dry condensation in high humidity environments.
16.3 Actuator Mounting
The actuator may be mounted in any position including
upside-down. It must be firmly secured to a direct mount
flange or sturdy mounting bracket. A minimum of four
bolts with lock washers should be used to secure the
actuator to the bracket. Flexibility in the bracket is not
allowed, and backlash, or “play”, in the coupling should
be minimized. The actuator output shaft must be in line
(centered) with the valve shaft to avoid side-loading the
shaft. See (Figure 26) for output drive dimensions and
mounting hardware specifications.
WARNING
FAILURE TO USE MANUAL OVERRIDE PROPERLY COULD RESULT
IN DAMAGE TO THE ACTUATOR GEARING. ENSURE THAT THE
OVERRIDE IS FULLY DISENGAGED AND DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE
FORCE WHEN MANUALLY POSITIONING ACTUATOR. DO NOT DRIVE
THE ACTUATOR BEYOND THE TRAVEL LIMIT SETTINGS. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
ACTUATOR AND/OR FINAL DRIVE ELEMENT.
to its fully upward position before the motor is re-engaged.
Rotate the shaft slightly to align the spur gears until the
shaft “springs” back to its re-engaged position.
NOTE: The rotation direction of the output may not be the
same as the rotation of the override shaft!
16.5 Lubrication
All rotating power train components are permanently
lubricated with multi-purpose Lithium grease suitable for
the operating temperature range of the actuator. Additional
lubrication is not required in normal operation.
16.6 Problem Prevention
Most actuator problems result from improper installation.
• Incorrect Wiring and Set Up Make certain the actuator
is wired correctly and travel stops are properly set
before power is applied.
• Coupling, Alignment, and Mounting Do not add extra
torque! Make certain that the mounting arrangement
is sturdy, centered, properly aligned, and that all
mounting hardware is secure and properly tightened.
• Moisture Replace the cover tightly and make certain
conduit entry holes are sealed properly to prevent
moisture infiltration.
16.7 Warranty
All V-Series actuators are backed by a 2 year warranty that
covers materials and workmanship. The warranty shall
expire 24 months from installation or 30 months from
delivery; whichever comes first.
To request a Return Authorization for an actuator within the
warranty period, please consult your local Metso distributor.
16.8 Repair Service/Spare Parts
We recommend that electric actuators be directed to our
Northeast Service Center for maintenance. The Service
Center is equipped to provide rapid turn-around at
reasonable cost and offer new product warranty with all
reconditioned electric actuators.
16.4 Manual Override
To use the manual override, push the override shaft down
approximately 1/4 inch to disengage the motor from the
gear train. Failure to disengage motor prior to turning
override will cause damage to the actuator. While holding
the shaft down, turn the shaft with a wrench or handle to
the desired position.
NOTE: The override shaft on actuators below 1000 lb•in must
be rotated in the opposite direction of the desired direction
of the output shaft. In actuators 1000 lb•in and above, the
override and the output shaft turn in the same direction.
Do not drive the actuator beyond the limit switch settings;
it is possible to damage installed options such as a feedback
potentiometer. The manual override shaft must be returned
For electric actuators outside of the warranty period,
request a Return Authorization by calling the Northeast
Service Center at (508) 595-5195; or by sending an e-mail to
valvconservice@metso.com.
NOTE: When sending electric actuators to the Service
Center for repair, do not disassemble them! The actuator
should be relatively clean upon return. For further information on spare parts and service or assistance, visit our Web
