2 MACHINE DESCRIPTION
2.1 GENERAL
The F02 is an electric quarter-turn actuator
suitable to operate a valve in a 90° manoeuver.
2.2 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The electric motor drives the input to an
epicyclical gear train via a spur reduction.
The input member of the epicyclical gear
train carries two compound planet gears
which meshes with one internally toothed
gears: the fixed annulus. The fixed annulus
gear has external helical teeth meshing with
a transversely fixed worm gear. Since the
annulus cannot drive the worm gear this
provides a fixing point for the annulus, and
since the worm gear can drive the annulus, a
means of manual operation is provided which
needs no declutch.
An end-of-travel-position detection device
is operated via a position sensor directly
linked to the output shaft. The valve position
is continuously monitored in electric mode by
means of a position sensor directly connected
to the F02 output drive.
2.3 ELECTRICAL OPERATION
- Control command ‘open’: counter-clockwise
or clockwise rotation (selectable on the logic
board) moves the valve to a completely or
partially open position.
- Control command ‘closed’: clockwise or
counter-clockwise rotation (selectable on the
logic board) moves the valve to a completely
or partially closed position.
Control system details are shown in the specific
wiring diagram.
IMPORTANT
Handwheel rotation
In standard applications clockwise rotation of the
handwheel moves the valve to close position and
counter-clockwise rotation moves the valve to
open position.
Different operation are clearly indicated on the
handwheel.
2.4 MANUAL OPERATION
To be used in case of power supply failure or
during actuator setting.
The manual operating device is completely
independent of the motor drive and can be
operated at any time, whether or not the motor
is running, without danger to the operator.
The handwheel does not rotate during power
operation.
To close the valve turn the handwheel
clockwise.
To open the valve, turn the handwheel counterclockwise.
If the handwheel is turned during electric
operator, an error will occur and the actuator
will stop. After few seconds the actuator will
restart its operation and move the valve to the
requested position

3 STORAGE AND
PRE-INSTALLATION
3.1 CHECKS TO BE CARRIED OUT WHEN THE
ACTUATOR IS RECEIVED
IMPORTANT
Not performing the following procedures will
invalidate the product guarantee.
First of all check if the data on the nameplate
(model, serial number, nominal torque,
nominal voltage range, protection degree,
operating speed range, protection class, etc.)
correspond to the expected product data.
If the actuator is received already assembled
onto the valve, the setting of the mechanical
stops and of the electric end-of-travel should
have been already done during actuator
assembly onto the valve. An additional check
is anyway recommended to verify that all
the requested settings have been completed
as indicated in the present Instruction and
Operating Manual.
If the actuator is received separately from the
valve, the setting of the mechanical stops and
of the electric end-of-travel must be checked
and, if necessary, carried out while assembling
the actuator onto the valve. In any case, all the
setting operations described in this Instruction
and Operating Manual must be carried out.
Check that the actuator was not damaged
during transport: in particular, inspect the
local position indicator area glass. If necessary,
repair all damages to the paint-coat, etc.
Check that the fitted accessories comply with
those listed in the order acknowledgement and
the delivery note.
3.2 STORAGE PROCEDURE
3.2.1 General
The actuators leave the factory in perfect
working conditions and with an excellent finish,
in order to maintain these characteristics until
the actuator is installed on site, it is necessary
to observe a few rules and take appropriate
measures during the storage period.
The basic version of F02 actuators is
weatherproof to IP66/68. This condition can
only be maintained if the units are correctly
installed and connected on site, and if they
were previously correctly stored. The standard
plastic plugs used to close the cable entries are
not weatherproof, they just prevent the entry of
undesired objects during transport.
Biffi cannot accept responsibility for
deterioration caused on site when the covers
are removed.
IMPORTANT
The actuator handwheel is removed for transport.
If the actuator must be shipped fully assembled,
please make sure the handwheel is packed
securely to avoid all possible damage.
3.2.2 Storage for a brief period (less than
one year)
3.2.2.1 Indoor storage
• Make sure the actuators are kept in a dry
place, laid on a wooden pallet (not directly on
the floor surface) and protected from dust
• In very humid environments, a moisture
absorbent desiccant packet should be
introduced in the motor enclosure. (Desiccant
is not included in the actuator package)
3.2.2.2 Outdoor storage
• Make sure the actuators are protected from
the direct action of weather agents (protection
by a canvas tarp or similar). Environment
temperature: -20°C to +65°C
• Place the actuators on a wooden pallet, or
some raised platform, so that they are not in
direct contact with the ground, and protected
from dust
• In very humid environments, a moisture
absorbent desiccant packet should be
introduced in the motor enclosure. (Desiccant
is not included in the actuator package)
• If the actuators are supplied with standard
plastic plugs, remove them from the cable
entries and replace them with weatherproof
plugs
3.2.3 Long period storage (more than
one year)
3.2.3.1 Indoor storage
In addition to the instructions at point 3.2.2.1:
• If the actuators are supplied with standard
plastic plugs, replace them with weatherproof
plugs
• The coupling parts (i.e. flange, etc.) must
be coated with a protective oil or grease;
(if possible, blank off the flange by a
protection disk)
3.2.3.2 Outdoor storage
In addition to point 3.2.2.2:
• If the actuators are supplied with standard
plastic plugs, replace them with weatherproof
(metal) plugs
• The coupling parts (i.e. flange, etc.) must
be coated with a protective oil or grease;
(if possible, blank off the flange by a
protection disk)
• Check the actuator general conditions, paying
particular attention to the terminal board

4 INSTALLATION
4.1 CHECKS TO BE PERFORMED BEFORE
INSTALLATION
To assemble the actuator onto the valve
proceed as follows:
• Check that the coupling dimensions of the
valve flange and stem, or of the relevant
extension, meet the actuator coupling
dimensions
• The electrical supply cables must be suitable
for the power rating
• Gather the necessary tools for the assembly
and configuration of the actuator controls
• Lubricate the valve stem with oil or grease
to make the assembly easier: pay attention
not to contaminate with lubricant the flange
surfaces which transmit the actuator torque
• Clean the valve flange and remove anything
that might prevent a perfect adherence to the
actuator flange and especially all traces of
grease
• Install the actuator onto the valve so that
the shaft output drive enters the groove of
the stem extension. This coupling must take
place without forcing and only with the weight
of the actuator. When the actuator output
shaft and the valve stem are connected,
check the holes of the valve flange. If they do
not meet with the holes of the spool piece
flange or the stud bolts screwed into them,
the actuator shaft output drive must be
rotated. Actuate the manual override until
coupling is made possible. Tighten the nuts of
the connecting stud bolts evenly
• If possible, operate the actuator to verify it
moves the valve smoothly
4.2 WORKING CONDITION
Standard F02 actuators are suitable for the
following environment temperatures:
• -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to +158°F)
Special versions are available for extreme
environment temperatures:
• -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to +158°F)
4.3 COUPLING BLOCK
The electric actuator is delivered with drive
details and flange in accordance with the
technical characteristics required by the
customer, ready to be installed onto the valve.
Only one insert is included in the actuator
package delivered to end users.
IMPORTANT
Check the ‘ambient temperature range’ printed
on the nameplate, for the correct utilisation with
respect to the ambient temperature. Installation
in ambient with temperature range outside the
specified values will invalidate the warranty.
WARNING
During normal operation the temperature of
the actuator surface can reach 30°C above the
ambient temperature.
IMPORTANT
In case the screws of the cover, of the terminal
compartment and of the OM3 must be replaced,
SS Class A4 grade 80 screw must be used with
minimum yield strength 600 N/mm
Every time the main cover, the terminal
compartment cover and the OM3 are
reassembled, make sure to tight all the screws
with 5 Nm torque.

4.4 INSTALLATION OF THE F02 UNIT ONTO
A VALVE
Move the valve to the completely open position.
Manually bring the F02 to the completely open
position (verify the local mechanical indicator)
and check the rotation direction of actuator
and valve. The actuator should be mounted
for counter-clockwise rotation to open and
clockwise to close.
The F02 unit can be installed onto the valve in
two different ways:
Direct mounting:
Insert the valve shaft into the actuator bottom
flange, taking care to correctly connect the
insert. Fix the screws on the valve flange to the
actuator coupling block.
FIGURE 6 - Manual operation.
Bracket mounting:
Install the bracket and the adapter onto the
valve; then insert the valve shaft into the
actuator bottom flange, taking care to correctly
connect the insert.
Fix the screws between the bracket and the
valve flange and the actuator coupling block.
4.5 MANUAL OPERATION
F02 electric actuators are supplied with a
handwheel for manual override as standard, to
operate the actuator in case of power supply
failure or during setting.
The handwheel is always engaged. For safe
operation, the handwheel does not rotate
during electric operation.
Turn the handwheel clockwise to close and
counter-clockwise to open.
During manual operation, check the actuator
manoeuver on the local mechanical indicator.
WARNING
Do not manually operate the actuator with devices
other than the handwheel. Using cheater bars,

4.6 SETTING OF THE ANGULAR STROKE:
MECHANICAL STOPS
It is important for the mechanical stops to
end the angular stroke at both extreme valve
positions (fully open and fully closed).
The setting of the angular stroke is performed
by adjusting the travel stop screw mounted on
the actuator housing.
For the adjustment of the stop screw proceed
as follows:
• Loosen the lock nut
• Screw 1: open
To set the mechanical stop in opening,
manually bring the actuator to the completely
open position, then turn screw 1 clockwise
to find the correct position, then block it by
means of the nut
• Screw 2: close
To set the mechanical stop in closing,
manually bring the actuator to the completely
close position, then tighten screw 2
If the actuator angular stroke is stopped before
reaching the end position (fully open or closed),
proceed as follows:
• Unscrew the stop screw by turning it
anticlockwise until the valve reaches the
correct position
• When unscrewing the stop screw, keep the
lock nut still with a wrench so that the sealing
washer does not withdraw together with the
screw
• Tighten the lock nut
If the actuator angular stroke is stopped beyond
the end position (fully open or closed), proceed
as follows:
• Screw the stop screw by turning it clockwise
until the valve reaches the correct position
• Tighten the lock nut
4.7 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Before powering the actuator, check that the
supply voltage details on the nameplate are
correct for the plant. Access to terminals for
electrical connections is through the terminal
cover.
WARNING
After electrical on-field installation, please make
sure all removal of the cover assembly is done in
total observance of the applicable safety rules.
All the accessories (cable glands in particular)
must be certified according to the requirements
of the installation area and the relevant applicable
regulations.
Setting must be done while the actuator is
powered on. As a consequence, all setting
operations must be carried out by specifically
qualified personnel for operations on powered
electronic cards.
4.8 PLANT REQUIREMENTS
Protection devices (over-current breakers,
magneto-thermal switches or fuses) must be
provided by the customer to protect the main
lines in case of motor over-current or loss of
insulation between phases and earth.

4.12 CABLE ENTRIES
The sealing of cables and conduit entries
should be carried out in accordance with
National Standards or the Regulatory
Authorities that have certified the actuators.
This is particularly true for units that are
certified for use in hazardous areas where
the method of sealing must be to an approved
standard, and cable glands, reducers, plugs
and adapters must be approved and separately
certified.
IMPORTANT
• To prevent any water infiltration through the
cable conduits, make sure the cable glands
have the minimum protection degree required
by the plant.
• If rigid conduits are used, we suggest placing
a flexible pipe connection between the conduit
and the terminal board.
In order to properly connect the cables,
remove the cable entry plugs and make all the
necessary connections.
To guarantee the proper weatherproof fit,
degree IP66/68 must be ensured: screw the
cable glands tightly and block them with a
thread sealant. The use of a thread sealant is
necessary in case of explosionproof application.
If some parts of the cable glands have been
removed while working on the cable entries,
put them back into place in order to avoid
losing the dismantled parts.
Unused entries:
• For explosionproof construction: unused
entries must be plugged with metal
explosionproof plugs and blocked with a
thread sealant
• For weatherproof construction: replace the
standard plastic protection plugs supplied
with the actuator with suitable plugs to
guarantee the requested protection degree
IMPORTANT
In order to physically separate the power from
the signal terminal, place the power clamps
protection (provided with the actuator) on the
power terminal, once you have completed the
power cable connection. This will avoid any
accidental contact with the power terminals
during the cabeling operation on the signal
terminals.

reassembling of the explosionproof enclosures
(covers, cable glands, joints) be careful
to bring these enclosures back to their
original condition to maintain their integrity.
In particular, be sure the joint surfaces of
all enclosures are spread with a film of
recommended grease.
Proceed as follows:
• Do not damage the explosionproof mating
surfaces on the housing and on the electrical
enclosure covers
• Reinstall all the screws that go with the
dismantled parts, and block them with a
thread sealant after spreading them with
a film of copper- or molybdenum-based
grease. This will keep screws from sticking
and make maintenance operations easier
• Check that the bolts and screws are the same
dimension and quality as the original ones (as
stated on the nameplate), or a better quality
• Replace the weatherproof seals that may
have been removed (O-ring for the covers)

6 ACTUATOR CONFIGURATION
Before connecting power to the actuator, check
that the voltages are correct and according to
the indications on the nameplate. Wrong power
supply could cause permanent damage to the
electrical components.
The configuration of the F02 actuator can be
carried out through the control panel inside
the actuator control system. To access the
panel, remove the actuator cover and when the
configuration is complete replace the cover,
following the procedures indicated below.
IMPORTANT
When optional local control panel OM3 is installed
and the actuator setting is done by means of
the pushbuttons on the logic board, the remote
controls do not have to be energized.
6.1 REMOVAL OF THE CONTROL UNIT COVER
Using a 5 mm Allen key, loosen the four screws
and remove the cover.
IMPORTANT
When setting the actuator parameters do not
operate the actuator neither remotely nor locally.
Special attention is requested to the following:
• Before the assembly the joint surfaces must
be greased with silicone oil or equivalent
• Cable glands must have minimum protection
degree IP66/68 (EN 60529)
• Periodically verify the quantity of dust
deposited on the enclosure and clean it if
more than 5 mm using a damp cloth to avoid
static electricity
5 LUBRICATION
5.1 LUBRICATION INSPECTION
The actuator is grease lubricated for life,
therefore under normal working conditions no
grease needs to be replaced or added.
In case of maintenance the following grease is
recommended:
• AEROSHELL GREASE 7 or equivalent, for
ambient temperature -40°C to +70°C.
WARNING
Pay attention not to damage the joint surfaces of
the cover.
IMPORTANT
In case the screws of the cover must be replaced,
SS Class A4 grade 80 screw must be used with
minimum yield strength 600 N/mm
Once the configuration is completed,
reassemble the actuator cover.

6.3 CONFIGURATION OF THE F02 BY A
PDA / PC AND ‘A MANAGER’ SOFTWARE
If one of the optional module OM1, OM9 or
OM11 is installed on the F02 and this card
features Bluetooth interface, the actuator
configuration can be performed by means of
the ‘A Manager’ software installed on the PDA
or PC.
Only Blinker / Local Selector relay cannot be
configured by means ‘A Manager’ software.
The relevant Instruction and Operating Manual
is available with the ‘A Manager’ software.
The Monitor Relay contacts can be set as
CLOSE or OPEN by changing the welding of
JUMPER J1 on logic board.
As a default setting, pins 2 and 3 are welded
together, and the Monitor Relay contact
operates as follows:
- contact CLOSE in normal condition with relay
energized, and OPEN in case of malfunction
(relay is de-energized).
In case of request, if contact must be OPEN
in normal condition and CLOSE in case of
malfunction, the contact of JUMPER J1 must be
modified welding pins 1 and 2 together.
WARNING
Configuration of Monitor Relay by means
JUMPER J1 is a hardware configuration. For this
reason, to configure Monitor Relay is mandatory
manage actuator without power supply.
WARNING
The controls available via Bluetooth allow full
actuator operability at a distance. Biffi will not
accept any responsibility for damages or injuries
caused by an improper use of your Bluetooth PDA.
6.4 HARDWARE CONFIGURATION FOR
MONITOR RELAY
The Monitor Relay indicates the followings
failures:
• Loss of power
• Stop by Torque out of limits
• Direction failure
• Temperature too high
• Position sensor failure
• Local control panel with selector in local

7 MAINTENANCE AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 MAINTENANCE
7.1.1 Routine maintenance
Approximately every 2 years:
Under normal operating conditions, the F02 is
maintenance-free: no actuator maintenance
is formally required, even though visual
inspection for grease leakage or external visible
damages is recommended every two years.
When conditions are severe (frequent operation
or high temperatures), replace all seals that
allow grease leakage or water inlet.
IMPORTANT
Before starting any maintenance operation, make
sure that the mains and all other service voltage
connected to the terminal board are switched-off.
The following checks will assure optimum
performance:
• Make sure there are no grease leaks from the
actuator housing
• Check the external parts for possible damage
and replace them immediately, if necessary.
In case the window glass is broken, the
complete cover must be replaced (see
Chapter 8 for individual item numbers)
• Repaint all areas where paint is missing.
In chemically aggressive or saline
environments, remove rust from surfaces and
protect with a rust preventative
• Check that all nuts and bolts securing the
actuator to the valve are tight. If necessary,
re-tighten with a dynamometric key
• For severe applications or if actuator
operation is infrequent, perform maintenance
checks more often
7.1.2 Special maintenance
In case of actuator failure, please refer to
Section ‘Trouble shooting’, Chapter 7.2, for
possible causes.
Spare parts can be required from Biffi: please
refer to the individual item number shown in
Chapter 8.
In case of malfunction in the mechanical /
electronic components, in case of grease leaks
through the seals or in case of scheduled
preventive maintenance, the actuator must
be disassembled: any damaged parts can be
requested from Biffi with reference to the
attached exploded view drawings and parts
lists.
It is essential that for every component to be
required from Biffi the serial number of the
actuator together with the item number of the
component are indicated in the request.
IMPORTANT
After maintenance work a few operations must be
performed to make sure that movement is regular
and there is no grease leakage through the seals.
Note: Special maintenance is also
recommended when, during operations, the
actuator generates an excessive noise.
7.2 TROUBLE-SHOOTING
All F02 actuators have passed the functional
test performed by Biffi Quality Assurance
personnel.
If the actuator does not work, before troubleshooting make sure that:
• The main supply is the same as stated in the
name plate menu
• The green LED for available power supply is
switched on
• Power supply is available to the actuator and
no protective device has declutched in the
plant
• Check the position of the dip switch SW3; it
must be ‘1’
7.2.1 The electronics do not switch on when
powered
• Check that the value of the main voltage on
terminals L1 and L2 (and in the same case
L3) is correct
• Remove the cover assembly
• Check the continuity of the wires between
terminals L1, L2, L3 and the connector of the
power card
• If there is no continuity on the L1-L2-L3
cables, replace the terminal board
• If continuity on the L1, L2, L3 cables is ok,
replace the entire drive and control unit
7.2.2 24 V DC output voltage not available at
the terminals
• Switch the main power supply off and
disconnect all wires from terminals 33 and 34
• Switch the main power supply on and check if
the voltage on terminals 33 and 34 is between
22 and 26 V DC
• If the voltage is correct check the external
wiring and the electrical load. It should not
exceed 4 W
• If the voltage is not correct, replace the entire
drive and control unit
7.2.3 The actuator does not work from remote
controls
Check that:
• The wiring to terminals 32, 35 and 36 is
correct
• There is no short circuit between wires
• The electrical load does not exceed 4 W
• If external voltage is used, the value has to be
in the 24-120 V AC/DC range
7.2.4 The motor is very hot and does not start
• Wait until the motor cools down before trying
to operate the actuator again
• Check that the number of operations per hour
and their duration is suitable for the actuator
service (see the name-plate)
• Check that the valve operating torque is
within the range of the unit’s designed
operating torque
• Always check the causes of abnormal
operation
7.2.5 The motor runs but the actuator does
not move the valve
• Verify that the drive insert correctly fits in the
actuator base
• Verify that the drive insert has enough
engagement with the valve stem
• Verify that the key correctly fits in bore/
keyways applications
• Check that the valve works in manual
operation. If not, it is necessary to check the
manual control area as follows:
- Loosen the handwheel security dowel
- Remove the handwheel
- Check the integrity of the internal parts
- Proceeding with the assembly, follow the
reverse order of the disassembly
- Make sure there are no foreign bodies. Pay
attention not to damage the O-ring seals

increase the actuator output torque limit
• If the valve is stopped by position in closing,
check that the valve reaches its seat position,
then readjust the setting of the position limit
• The internal trim of the valve may be
damaged
7.2.7 Excessive torque for valve operation
• Clean, lubricate and check the valve stem
• Valve packing too tight: loosen the gland bolt
nuts
• Check that the internal valve trim or the
reducer gears are well lubricated and not
damaged
7.2.8 The actuator does not stop in fully open
or fully closed position
• Check that the actual open and close
positions of the valve respectively correspond
to 100% and 0%
• Make sure that the torque and travel limits
are correctly set (see Chapter 6)
