ation
Î Refer to Fig.2
The pressure-independent control valve
(PICV) consists of the Type2488N Flow
Regulator and the Type5857 Electric Actuator. The valve is tted with a connecting
piece for connection of an electric actuator.
As a result, it is possible to transmit the control signal of an electric control device to
achieve additional temperature control by
changing the restriction position. The medi-
um ows through the valve in the direction
indicated by the arrow on the valve body.
The ow rate is determined by the area re-
leased by the valve plug (3) and the adjustable restriction (11).
The installed positioning spring (5) determines the differential pressure across the re-
striction of 0.2bar. The pressure upstream of
the restriction (11) is transmitted over the
control line (7) to the upstream pressure side
of the actuator. The pressure downstream of
the restriction acts on the low-pressure side
of the operating diaphragm (9) through a
hole in the valve plug. The differential pressure generated at the restriction is converted
into a positioning force by the operating diaphragm. This force is used to move the valve
plug depending on the force of the position-
ing spring (5). The ow rate is adjusted at
the set point screw (13).

Mounting and start-up
5 Mounting and start-up
5.1 Mounting position
Standard mounting position
Î Install the regulator in a horizontal pipe-
line with the diaphragm actuator (6) fac-
ing downward (see Fig.2).
Installation conditions
− Make sure that the regulator remains
freely accessible after the plant has been
completed.
− The electric actuator must be mounted
above the valve body.
− Install a strainer upstream of the regula-
tor (see section5.2).
− Make sure the direction of ow matches
the direction indicated by the arrow on
the body.
− Install the regulator free of stress.
− On insulating the valve, do not insulate
the actuator and the coupling nut as well.
If necessary, an intermediate insulating
piece (order no. 1690-6975) must be
used. The insulating limit is in this case
approx. 25mm above the top of the
valve body.
Possible malfunction and damage due to adverse weather conditions (temperature, humidity).
− Do not install the device outdoors or in
rooms prone to frost.
NOTICE
!
− Protect the regulator against frost if it is
used to control freezing media.
− Either heat the regulator or remove it from
the plant and completely drain the residual
medium.
5.2 Additional ttings
Strainer
A strainer installed upstream in the ow pipe
holds back any dirt or other foreign particles
carried along by the medium. For example,
the SAMSON Type1NI Strainer is suitable
(uT1010).
− Install the strainer upstream of the regu-
lator.
− Make sure the direction of ow matches
the direction indicated by the arrow on
the body.
− Install the strainer with the lter element
facing downward.
− Allow sufcient space to remove the lter.
Shut-off valve
Install a hand-operated shut-off valve both
upstream of the strainer and at the outlet of
the return ow pipe (see Fig.4). This allows
the plant to be shut down for cleaning and
maintenance, and when the plant is not used
for longer periods of time.
Pressure gauge
Install a pressure gauge at a suitable point to
monitor the pressures prevailing in the plant
(see Fig.4).

5.4 Electrical connection
Î See Fig.5 and Fig.2
Upon installation of the electric cables, you
are required to observe the regulations concerning power installations according to
DINVDE0100 as well as the regulations of
your local power supplier.
Use a suitable power supply which guarantees that no dangerous voltages reach the
device in normal operation or in the event of
a fault in the system or any other system
parts.
Connect the actuator to the electrical network
only after the power supply is rst switched
off. Make sure the power cannot be switched
on unintentionally.
A power supply of 230V (10%) or 24V
(10%), 50Hz is required (uEB5857 for
more details).
Î Connect the electric actuator using the
three-wire connecting cable (see Fig.5).
If voltage is applied to the white and
green wires, the actuator motor retracts
the actuator stem (18). The restriction
stem (12) is pushed upward by the
spring (15), causing the ow rate to rise.
In contrast, a control signal applied to
the white and brown wires causes the actuator stem to extend. The restriction stem
(12) is pushed downward by the spring
(15), causing a lower ow rate.

8 Malfunctions
The malfunctions listed in Table4 are caused
by mechanical faults and incorrect regulator
sizing. In the simplest case, the functioning
can be restored following the recommended
action. Special tools may be required for repair work.
Exceptional operating and installation conditions may lead to changed situations that
may affect the control response and lead to
malfunctions. For troubleshooting, the conditions, such as installation, process medium,
temperature and pressure conditions, must
be taken into account.
SAMSON's After-sales Service department
can help during troubleshooting. Further in-
formation is available in section9.1.
