2.2 Operating mode


On-off and inching actuators are designed for short-time duty S21 and intermittent service
S42, respectively. The graphs apply to a maximum ambient temperature of 60 °C (operating
mode according to EN 60034/ IEC 34).

c) d)

1
During the on-time (see indication on the nameplate), the actuator does not reach its permanent operating temperature. In periods be-
tween operating times, off-time, the actuator cools down to ambient temperature (EN60034 / IEC34).
Exceeding the time respectively type of duty indicated on the nameplate leads to a reduction of the actuator lifetime.
2
Sequence of uniform loads (EN60034 / IEC34). For defining the operating mode, the additional information on the nameplate regarding the
duty cycle "ED" and frequency of operation "c / h" is required: 20% ED, 1200 c / h means that within one hour (1h = 3600s) 1200 operations
can be accomplished with a duty cycle of 3600 / 1200*20% = 0.6s plus a pause of 3600 / 1200*80% = 2.4s. Exceeding the value indicated
on the nameplate leads to a reduction of the actuator lifetime.
DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 7 of 58
Operating mode:
DMCR 500
e)

Figure 2.3: switching of different actuators (Figures a-e)

There is a limit of 10% turn on time and 300 switching cycles per hour for the DMCR 1000.
The turn on time for the DMCR 2000 is limited to 15% and the switching cycles per hour to
150.
Some actuators are optimized to achieve high efficiency, therefore they are equipped with a
brake motor. In that constellation low loads cause high overrun times. If the rotation of the
motor is reversed within this overrun time, it will cause high current peaks. Those peaks can
cause damage to the power switches. Therefore the control unit is programmed with a break
of 400ms to reverse the rotation of the motor. It is enough time for actuators using brake mo-
tors, if the load is at least 15% of the nominal torque. Else the overrun time can get up to 2s.
In that case the user has to take care of this break time by himself to avoid damage to the
power switches.

2.3 Protection against accidental contact and against water in-


gress
The ingress protection class (IPxx) of the actuator is indicated on the type plate.
The basic version of the actuator is suitable for outdoor installation. It is safeguarded against
accidental contact, against ingress of dust and water for a short period of time (enclosure
class IP67 according to EN 60529 / IEC 60529). The enclosure class IP68, which is available
as an extra option, is useful for application where actuators are submerged for a specified
period of time.
Anomalous the actuators of type DMC2000 possess enclosure class IP55 and as extra op-
tion IP67.

The enclosure class is only valid for the actuator if appropriate cable glands
are used. Threads for cable glands, which are not used, are to be closed with
appropriate blind plugs.

2.7 Manual operation („handwheel“)


The handwheel is used to operate the actuator respectively the valve when no electric power
supply is available. There is no need to switch over from motor operation into the manual
mode.

For closing, turn the handwheel clockwise (when looking on the nameplate of the motor).

When turning the handwheel the control of the torque is inactive. It is therefore
possible to generate a torque at the output drive that exceeds the maximum
torque, which can be set at the actuator.
Damages of the valve (e.g. at the stem or housing) or the actuator might occur.
Do not use any lever, bar or tool with the handwheel to open or close the valve.

2.8 Transport and storage
For correct handling of the actuator using a crane hook, fasten the sling rope as shown be-
low.

Figure 2.5: correct use of the sling rope

 Do not fasten hoists to the handwheel or to the ring bolt of the motor.
 Do not fasten hoists to the protective cover of the spindle
 Store in well ventilated, dry spaces.
 In the case of outdoor installation, connect the power supply to actuate heating.
 When storing in damp environment, connect the power supply to actuate heating.
 Protect from ground moisture (store on a pallet, a shelf or similar).
 Protect bright metallic surfaces using a suitable anticorrosion agent.
 Remove the silica gel unit from the actuator if the heating is permanently activated.

3 Actuator setup
3.1 Installation
3.1.1 Output drive, connection of equipment
DREHMO actuators can be installed in any mounting position. They are designed to suit
outdoor installation as well. The mounting flange is provided with threaded holes for fastening
the DREHMO actuator to the valve top flange or any other equipment to be operated. The
dimensions of the mounting flange are in accordance with DIN EN ISO 5210, DIN 3210 (mul-
ti-turn actuators) or DIN EN ISO 5211 (part-turn actuators).

3.1.1.1 Disassembly and installation of the threaded bush (output drive “A”)
In the case of output drive "A", make sure that the bush (which is usually supplied unma-
chined, unless otherwise ordered) is threaded to suit the valve stem before mounting and
fastening the DREHMO actuator to the valve.

1 2 5 3 5 4 Remove mounting flange (4) from the actuator. Remove


retainer ring (1), and supporting ring (2), Remove double
mounted (5= Needle bearing with two washer per bear-
ing) bush (3). You may now machine a thread in the
socket.
For installation of the bush, proceed in reverse order.
Before fastening mounting flange (4), apply a thin layer
of sealant (e.g. Curil K2) to the contact surfaces. Usual-
ly, the actuator is mounted to the valve in the CLOSED
position.
Figure 3.1: output drive

3.1.2 Assembling to the valve


The actuator can be assembled to the valve in any position. The easiest method is to have
the vertical valve shaft freely accessible. When delivered ex works, the actuator is in the 4
mA position (CLOSED).
Align the actuator according to the valve and place it in position in such a way so as to en-
sure that the mounting holes of the actuator and the valve are well aligned and that the out-
put drive fits to the top flange of the valve. Fasten the actuator to the valve using appropriate
screws. Tighten the screws crosswise.

3.1.3 Additional settings for part-turn actuators (version DPMC)
3.1.3.1 Commissioning actuators with quarter turn gear box DP…(R) 150-1800 End
stops in part-turn actuator
The internal end stops limit the swing angle. They protect the valve in the event of limit
switching failure.
End stop setting is generally performed by the valve manufacturer prior to installing the valve
into the pipework.

Exposed, rotating parts (discs/balls) at the valve!

Pinching and damage by valve or actuator.

- End stops should be set by suitably qualified personnel only.


- Never completely remove the setting screws [2] and [4] to avoid grease leakage.

The swing angle set in the factory is indicated on the name plate:
The setting sequence depends on the valve:
-Recommendation for butterfly valves: Set end stop CLOSED first.

-Recommendation for ball valves: Set end stop OPEN first

Direct installation
The actuators are supplied with undrilled bush (machined bush on request). The appropriate
bore corresponding to the valve shaft is to be machined into it before installation. The bush is
provided with a spline on the exterior body and can thus be mounted in the actuator in certain
steps.

Indirect installation
For indirect installation, DREHMO actuators are supplied with foot and lever or foot and
shaft. The connection between actuator and valve has to be provided by the customer (e.g.
by means of rods).
When delivered, both of the end stop adjusting screws are set with enough mechanical free
play to allow easy installation of the actuator (see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht ge-
funden werden. and Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).

Turn the handwheel clockwise until it stops then slowly turn it one rotation counterclockwise.
The drive bush must be in the actuator during this operation. Fit the drive bush to the valve
stem and secure it properly.
Before mounting the connecting flange, spread a thin layer of sealing agent (e.g. Curil K2)
over its seal areas. Orientate the actuator and slide it carefully onto the drive bush.

3.1.3.2 Commissioning of the end stop screws DP… 30/59/119/319/799/1599


The actuator is in the corresponding end stop position. Turn the end stop screw for the posi-
tion (Figure XYZ) clockwise until there is a perceptible resistance. Before securing the posi-
tion of the screw with a lock nut rotate the screw one turn counterclockwise. Now use the
handwheel to do a 0.5 rotation out of the corresponding end stop position (clockwise for end
stop "OPEN" and counterclockwise for end stop "CLOSED").

1.Use handwheel to run actuator to mechanical end stop.

3.1.4 Electric connector
Work on electrical equipment and electrical installation work on actuators
must be carried out by electricians or under supervision by fully qualified en-
gineers, in accordance with the electrical rules.
Wiring should be carried out according to the enclosed wiring diagrams. For
wiring of the separate controls, the relevant wiring diagrams are attached to
the installation kit.
Line protection for internal wiring of the actuator shall be provided on site
(see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.,
line protection).

Special attention should be paid to the PE (ground) connection (see wiring diagrams). Only
when all covers have been closed electrical protection is ensured.
The control commands and indication signals shall be connected using shielded cables. Pull
relief may be achieved using suitable cable glands (take note of the required enclosure class
IP and shielding).

There is an electric shock protection next to the current transformer that covers the jumpers
J2 (A B C), J3 (D E), J10 and the fuses of the primary side. The nominal values of the fuses
are 1A and 500V. For the different input voltages the jumpers J2 and J3 have to be set like it
is written in the documentation on the current transformer. The jumper J10 switches the fre-
quency of the phase sequence correction between 50 and 60Hz.

secondary fuse

transformer
primary fuses

Figure 3.7: fuses and transformer with configuration instructions for power supply

There is an additional fuse on the secondary side of the transformer with the nominal values
of 1,6A and 250V. It is located nearby the transformer and is used to protect the line for
switching the relays and providing the internal power supply.

DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 19 of 58


3.1.5 Phase sequence correction
The actuator has an automatic phase sequence correction to adjust the phase sequence if
necessary.

Caution: The automatic phase sequence correction works only at 3ph AC up


to 550 volt! Voltages higher than 550 volt require special diligence for correct
power connection (clockwise phase sequence) according to the wiring dia-
gram.

As of hardware version DMC-02.7 the basic PCB has two jumper J10 and J11 (as shown in
Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden. and Fehler! Verweisquelle konn-
te nicht gefunden werden.) to influence the phase sequence correction. If LED H4 is blink-
ing there are problems with the phase sequence correction due to mains faults. In this case it
is possible to disable the phase sequence correction with jumper J11 but take special care
for correct power connection (clockwise phase sequence) according to the wiring diagram.

3.1.6 Other work


 Insert the handwheel crank handle.
 Check the length of the stem cover for the valve stem, use a longer cover, if nec-
essary.
 In order to avoid corrosion, repair all paint damages resulting from inadequate
transport or storage.

3.2 Adjustment for adapting the actuator to the valve (version


with conventional switch assembly)
The following adjustments must be carried out carefully. Any imprecise adjust-
ment will jeopardise proper operation and may lead to a significant reduction in
the service life of the valves.
After having set the limit switches, it is necessary to check for correct operation
while the motor is running.

In the case of switching-off by limits, overrun of the final valve position must be avoided.
Therefore, the actuator must be switched off (by limit switches) shortly before reaching the
final position.

Seite 20 of 58 DREHMO C-matic manual


3.2.1 Conventional use of the limit switches DMC(R)30...2000
3.2.1.1 Limit switch gear
By changing their switching status, the two limit switches (WR1 and WL2), which can be ad-
justed independently of each other, transmit a signal to the C-matic control unit indicating that
the final position has been reached. Limit switch WR1 is assigned to clockwise rotation
whereas limit switch WL2 is assigned to counterclockwise rotation.
Clockwise rotation: right hand output drive rotation (when looking at the motor type plate).

3.2.1.2 Setting the right limit position (WR1)


- Drive the DREHMOactuator at the RIGHT final position of the valve using the handwheel
or the motor (taking into account the overrun of the motor).
- Swiftly turn the setting shaft (Figure 3.8) in the direction of the indicated arrows using a
screwdriver and exert a constant pressure on the shaft (at least one turn is necessary in
order to prevent incorrect adjustment) – do not operate the motor while setting!
- With each turn of the setting shaft, the control cam swivels by 90° until the switch lever is
activated. Before the cam switch swivels for the last time, i.e. before activation of the
switch lever, turn more slowly so as not to miss the correct trip point.
Once the cam has completed the last swivel movement, continue to turn the screwdriver
until some resistance is felt. If turning takes too long, the complete setting operation must
be repeated.
- Check the setting by turning the handwheel in the opposite direction. After complete ad-
justment, the cam switch should swivel back and release the switch lever.

3.2.1.3 Setting the left limit position (WL2)


- Drive the DREHMO actuator at the LEFT final position of the valve using the handwheel
or the motor (taking into account the overrun of the motor).
 Swiftly turn the setting shaft (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.) in
the direction of the indicated arrows. Proceed as described in paragraph Fehler! Ver-
weisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden..
 Check the setting by turning the handwheel in opposite direction. After complete adjust-
ment, the cam switch should swivel back and release the switch lever.

Figure 3.8: limit switches

After the setup procedure the limit positions have to be checked and if necessary to be read-
justed. To do so move the valve from one limit position the complete way to the other one. If
part-turn actuators are concerned, make sure the end stop adjusting screws are not reached
when running the actuator by using the motor!

3.2.1.4 Adjusting the stroke adaption gear (not applicable to DPMC 30, DPMC 59 and
1 DPMC 119)

Adjustment of this gear will only be necessary if the re-


3 quired revolution / stroke ratio has not been specified in
the order. If the ratio has been specified, the actuator is
2
factory-set.

The adaption gear has a variable setting range between


1.38 and 1450 revolutions / stroke (see Table3.7). It is
divided in two setting ranges III (1.38 – 135 revolutions /
1 Allan key stroke) and II (12.4 – 1450 revolutions / stroke). The
2 Adjustment gear ranges can be selected by changing the input spur
3 Axis wheels (Figure 3.10) on the lower side of the limit switch
base plate.
Figure 3.9: stroke adaption gear

Adjustment comprises the following steps:

 Determine the factory-set range, see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden.
 Calculate the output drives revolutions per stroke (output speed per minute x adjusting
time in minutes).
 Find the setting range relating to the calculated value on the right side of the Table3.7
- Read the position of the adjusting wheel which is quoted in the right column (for range III
or II).
 Select the position of the adjusting wheel as described in Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte
nicht gefunden werden.
- Change the range according to Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden., if necessary (note: the Allen screw is fastened above the limit switch).

3.2.1.4.1 Determining the factory-set range


- the actuator speed on the actuator type plate, e.g. DMC 60 A-40  40 min-1
- Determine the set range according to the following formula:
Output speed 5-50 min-1  range III
Output speed 80-160 min-1  range II

3.2.1.4.2 Setting the adjusting wheel


- Remove the threaded pin (Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.) from
the adjusting wheel.
- Place the adjusting wheel in the desired position on the shaft (Fehler! Verweisquelle
konnte nicht gefunden werden.) so as to ensure that the spur wheels are fully engaged.
- Tighten the threaded pin.

or the motor (taking into account the overrun of the motor). Then turn it back for approx.
30° using the handwheel.
- Release the spring preload in the RIGHT position by slightly undoing the knurled nut in
such a way that the cam disks just can be turned manually.
- Turn the cam disks until the switch trips.
- Re-tighten the knurled nut (not above 0.5-0.7 Nm)

3.2.2.2 Setting the left limit position (WL2)


- Drive the DREHMO actuator to the LEFT final position of the valve using the handwheel
or the motor (taking into account the overrun of the motor). Then turn it back for approx.
30° using the handwheel.
- Release the spring preload in the LEFT position by slightly undoing the knurled nut in
such a way that the cam disks just can be turned manually.
- Turn the cam disks until the switch trips.
- Re-tighten the knurled nut (not above 0.5-0.7 Nm).

After the setup procedure the limit positions have to be checked and if neces-
sary to be readjusted. In order to do so, move the valve from one final position
the complete way to the other one. If part-turn actuators are concerned, make
sure the end stop adjusting screws are not reached when running the actuator
by using the motor!

3.2.5 Electronic position indication
Actuators of type C-matic can be equipped with an LC-Display. The LCD displays the actual
position in percentage between the end position close (0%) and the end position open
(100%). The position information is derived from the internally generated 4 to 20 mA position
feedback signal. This signal might also be available on terminals of the control connector,
according to the wiring diagram.

Beside the position information, the LCD might display additional information:
- On actuator power-up the LCD displays the actual firmware revision code for the dura-
tion of about three seconds.
- In case of an open loop in the 4 to 20 mA feedback signal which is used to generate
the display information, an error code E1 is displayed.

The three small colored LEDs are used for end position and common failure indication same
as the clear high power LEDs. A separate heart-beat sign is available as an indication for the
correct running of the µ-controller program. The LCD unit is mounted on three assembly
bolts. It is connected to the electronic by means of two connectors as shown in the following

Important additional Information:


For actuators with position feedback signal available on the control con-
nector – see wiring diagram- , the actual position display on the LCD is
only available, if the 4 to 20mA loop is closed.

If the feedback signal is unused, a direct wiring between the two respec-
tive 4 to 20mA terminal blocks is necessary – see wiring diagram.

For regular operation the jumper J8 has to be set in the position 2, 3 and jumper J9 in posi-

Release of local operation


Local operation can be disabled from remote by an additional external digital input signal –
named E2. The activation of this option is given by jumper TR6. Jumper TR7 defines the re-
quired voltage condition high or low for the activation. In case of released local control sta-
tion, the local lamps ‘Open’ and ‘Close’ are alternately flashing.

Emergency shutdown ESD (since FW-Version V02.10)


The activation of the ESD feature is done by means of jumper TR8. The corresponding ESD
command has to be connected on the additional external digital input signal named E1. If
jumper TR12 is activated, the required voltage level is 0V, otherwise 24V. Jumper TR9 de-
fines the ESD final position OPEN or CLOSE. If jumper TR13 is activated, an active ESD is
independent of the operation mode, thus an actuator movement may be active also in control
mode OFF, IBN or Local in order to reach the defined ESD end position.

Special attention has to be paid, since the ESD can take place at any time. To
prevent a central control center giving the ESD command from remote, it is
necessary to inform the control center about work that is going to be done on
the actuators. Otherwise the control center thinks that there is a malfunction an
sends the ESD command while someone is working on the actuator.

Differentiated local failure indication
If jumper TR10 is activated, the local red failure indication LED is flashing in case of a torque
overload and static lightning in case of motor overtemperature. Otherwise, the indication is
giving a collective fault output signal.

3.3.6 Electronic position indicator (extra option)


The electronic position indicator converts the actual travel into an analogue continuous 4...20
mA current signal.

DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 35 of 58


3.4 Adjustment with conventional switch assembly
When delivered, the 4 mA travel position (usually final position CLOSED) is set.
The analogue position indicator is adjusted as follows:
- Adjust CLOSED / OPEN final positions using the limit switches
- Move the actuator into the final position CLOSED
- Set the 4 mA value using potentiometer R1 (see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konn-
te nicht gefunden werden.). For this purpose, loop a multimeter on terminal X3 / 23 (see
paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.) and set 4 mA.
- Loosen the screw 3 (refer to picture 3) at the limit sensor potentiometer (approx. 8 turns)
until a slight sluggishness from the locknut can be perceived.

Be careful: Complete removal of the screw will lead to destruction of


the thread.

If the screw is not loosened, mechanical damage of sensor potenti-


ometer gear can occur.

- Move the actuator into the limit position OPEN.


- Set the 100% value (20 mA) using potentiometer R2 and the 0% value (4 mA) using po-
tentiometer R1 (see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden
werden.).

3.4.1 Checking
The 0% value (4 mA) and the 100% value (20 mA) must be checked and readjusted, if nec-
essary (iteratively).

If the system has not satisfactorily been set, reset the electronic position indicator (delivery
condition) and repeat the above setting procedure. The delivery condition is restored as fol-
lows:
 Tighten the sensor locking screw
 Drive the actuator into the CLOSED final position (measure with multimeter: 4 mA)
 Delivery condition: the 4-20 mA signal does not change when the actuator is moved.

3.5 Positioner (extra option)


The positioner is activated by means of the input command AUTOMATIC (see wiring diagram
MCxx5...). The local control switch must be in the REMOTE position. If AUTOMATIC is not
activated, the actuator can be moved using remote control by means of the OPEN / CLOSE
commands.
The deviation is determined by the 3 step controller comparing the nominal position (4-20
mA) with the actual position. If the deviation exceeds a certain Xp range defined using poten-
tiometer R4, an internal control command is given to reduce the deviation.
The Xp range can be progressively selected from 0.5% to 5% of the measuring range.
Actual value = nominal value XP / 2.
The Xp range (R4) should not be set too sensitive (i.e. too small). If the nominal value is rela-
tively unsteady, the Xp range should be set to the highest value acceptable.
The actuator construes setpoint values between approximately 0...4% and 96...100% as
commands to move the valve to the final positions. Therefore with C-matic actuators a valve
Seite 36 of 58 DREHMO C-matic manual
cannot be controlled in these position ranges!

DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 37 of 58


3.5.1 Fail-Safe-Position
If the analogue input signal (4…20 mA) fails or the fieldbus communication is lost after a de-
fined time selected by S4.4 to S4.6 (see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht
gefunden werden.) the actuator approaches a fail-safe-position which can be selected using
potentiometer R5.
This feature can be activated with switch S2.7 (see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konn-
te nicht gefunden werden.).

3.6 Internal start-up device


Push buttons S3 and S4 allow to locally operate the actuator when the cover of the limit
switch is open.

By opening the lid of the actuator, dangerous voltages will be made ac-
cessible.

3.7 DIL switches


Programming using DIL switches allows the actuator functions to be adapted to suit individual
applications. All the individual features and functions are listed in the wiring diagram of the
actuator.

3.7.2.1 End position signals

 When S2.5 is in the ON position, the final position signal is limit- or torque-depending on
the switch-off mode which can be selected using S1.2 / S1.3. The actuator is switched off
when a final position signal is available.

 When S2.5 is in the OFF position, the final position signal is always based on limits, inde-
pendent of the S1.2 / S1.3 setting.

3.7.2.2 Torque indications

Within this area there will be a collective fault


(depending on the setting of DIL-switch S2.2)
in addition to a torque indication which cause a
stop of the actuator. To get a collective fault
without torque indication it can be turned off by
setting the DIL-switch S1.8=ON (see para-
graph 3.7.1 and 3.7.2).

If the preset values for the analogue position output signal do not match your
needs you can use the potentiometers R1 and R2 on the board DMC-27 to ad-
just them if the actuator is equipped with a combined sensor EM6. R1 is used to
adjust the offset (4 mA value), R2 to adjust the amplification (20 mA value).
Keep in mind that the two potentiometers influence each other, and thus you
might need several steps for adjustment. The analogue output signal is factory
set to 4...20 mA and therefore need not be adjusted in normal cases.

3.8 Timer operation - Function


Basic requirement: Controls must be equipped with a timer as an extra option.

Definitions:
R6 timer range left stop: 0% of stroke (CLOSED position),
right stop: 100% of stroke (OPEN position)
R7 T-ON left stop: 0.5 seconds, right stop: 30 seconds
R8 T-Off left stop: 0.5 seconds, right stop: 30 seconds
H8 Timer start
H9 Timer display of ON - OFF ratio

9
Siehe Hinweise im Abschnitt 3.4
DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 41 of 58
Looking from the handwheel side on to the control unit (control unit not tilted upwards) the
settings of the potentiometers are:
At 12 o' clock position 10 % of the setting range
At 3 o' clock position 50 % of the setting range
At 6 o' clock position 90 % of the setting range

Settings:
- T-ON and T-OFF are set using R7 and R8, with the selector switch S1 being in the “0“
position (see paragraphs Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden. and
Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).
The selected ON-OFF (pulse / pause) ratio is displayed by H9 if the selector switch is set
to “0”.

Decreasing Timer Operation:


If activating the decreasing timer operation with S3.4, inside the range of the timer being ac-
tive the time T-ON is reduced from its initial value (R7) when starting the movement to its
minimum value. The time T-OFF however is held constant. The movement of the valve is
thus slowed down.

Please note:
- Only when a cycle has elapsed a new cycle may be displayed.
- When the selector switch is in the “0“ position, the activated timer range can be selected
using R6.
- Max. left (11 o' clock pot position) corresponds to the CLOSED position, max. right ( 7 o'
clock pot position ) corresponds to the OPEN position.

The following is defined as the active timer cycle range:

From the CLOSED end position towards the OPEN position, up to the point defined by R6.
From the OPEN end position towards the CLOSED position, up to the point defined by R6. If
the selector switch is in LOCAL or REMOTE position, H8 lights up when the actuator is in the
preselected range. If the selector switch is the “0” position, H8 is used as an aid for fine set-
ting within the cycle range concerned. Starting from the max. left at H8, about 2.2% it re-
sponds to one cycling from dark to bright of the LED (see lower part of the illustration in par-
agraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).

3.9 Intermediate positions (wiring version MC004)


Two additional free adjustable intermediate positions no. 1 and 2 can be set in the range be-
tween 0% (4 mA) to 100% (20 mA) of the stroke. For position setting use potentiometer R4
and R5 (see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).

The local control station is available in two versions (see 3.11)

3.13.2 Limit position setting by local control station with OPEN, STOP,
CLOSE selector switch
3.13.2.1.1 Set LEARN mode

Push the LEARN button (LT) and keep it pressed, put selector
switch S1 in the LEARN position. After 10 seconds, local lamps
begin to flash which means that the actuator is in the LEARN
mode. As long as selector switch S1 remains in the LEARN po-
sition, the actuator remains in the LEARN mode. The LEARN
button can be released.
Figure 3.24: entering the LEARN
To terminate the LEARN mode, place selector switch S1 in an- function using the switches
other position than LEARN.

Remark:
If only one local lamp is flashing, the actuator is in a predefined limit position and in the
LEARN mode.

3.13.2.1.2 Erasing predefined limit position settings

If limit positions have already been set and the actuator is in the limit position, this is indicat-
ed by constant lighting of the corresponding LED.
By pushing the LEARN button (LT), placing selector switch S1 in the LEARN position and
keeping the LEARN button pressed for 30 seconds, predefined limit positions are set to 90
turns from the current position. After approx. 10 seconds one local lamp is flashing (the other
lights constantly if the END position is reached). After 30 seconds, the local lamps will go out.
Now the LEARN button can be released, the local lamps are flashing indicating the LEARN
mode.

3.13.2.1.3 Setting limit position

Prerequisite: the LEARN mode must have been selected (at least one local lamp is flashing).
Move the actuator by motor operation (selector switch S2) or by manual operation (hand-
wheel) to the required final position. If reaching of a limit position is indicated although the
mechanical final position has not yet been reached – which will be the case after 90 turns at
the latest, this limit position can be erased (refer to paragraph 3.13.2.1.5). If the final position
is reached, press the LEARN button (LT) and put selector switch S2 in the corresponding
position (OPEN or CLOSE). The local lamp will stop flashing and light constantly. When leav-
ing the final position, the lamp will tart flashing again. For the opposite final position, repeat
the same procedure.

DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 45 of 58


Please note:
If the actuator stops while moving to the final position and one of the local lamps lights con-
stantly, a predefined limit position is reached. This limit position must be erased or redefined
(see Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden.).

3.13.2.1.4 Checking limit positions in the LEARN mode

Defined limit positions can also be checked in the LEARN mode. By operating selector switch
S2, the actuator can move to the defined limit positions. Since the actuator is in the LEARN
mode, the two outer local lamps will flash, if no end position is reached. Only once the re-
quired end position has been reached will the local lamp light constantly.

3.13.2.1.5 Changing limit positions

The actuator must be in the LEARN mode. For setting the new limit position closer to the in-
termediate position, approach the new final position (both local lamps will flash). Press the
LEARN button (LT) and place the selector switch S2 to the corresponding position (OPEN or
CLOSED), in order to define the new final position. The local lamp will stop flashing and light
constantly. When the actuator leaves the final position, it will flash again.

For setting the new limit position behind the predefined one, first erase the latter. Approach
the limit position which should be changed. For erasing the value, press the LEARN button
(LT) and place selector switch S2 to the requested position (OPEN or CLOSED) (the corre-
sponding local lamp will start flashing). Move to the desired final position by means of selec-
tor switch S2. The actuator will move into this direction (max. 90 revolutions). Using this
method, the stroke of the valve can be increased up to a maximum of 1440 revolutions.

The actuator can also be operated by handwheel from an erased limit position. By pressing
the LEARN button (LT) and placing selector switch S2 to the desired position (OPEN or
CLOSED) the new position is saved.

After the setup procedure the limit positions have to be checked and if neces-
sary to be readjusted. To do so move the valve from one limit position the com-
plete way to the other one. If part-turn actuators are concerned, make sure the
end stop adjusting screws are not reached when operating the actuator by us-
ing the motor!

4 Operation
The actuator can be operated from various command levels: REMOTE, REMOTE-BUS, local
and local via separate local controls. The operating commands available are OPEN and
CLOSE. The STOP function serves to stop the actuator. The AUTOMATIC mode enables the
actuator to be moved using a nominal input value.10

The (LEARN) LOCAL-0-REMOTE selector switch and the OPEN-STOP-CLOSE control


switch are installed at the local control station.

When actuating by REMOTE and BUS, the actuator can start automatically.

4.1 Operating temperature


Danger of burning!
Depending on the location, the selected type of duty and ambient conditions,

10
only with version MCxx5
Seite 48 of 58 DREHMO C-matic manual
the actuator may have a surface temperature in excess of 70 °C.

DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 49 of 58


4.2 Disconnect main power supply
To disconnect the actuator from the main power supply, pull the compact plug. We recom-
mend that the plug is pulled only when actuator is de-energised. Pulling the plug while the
actuator is operating may damage electrical contacts.

4.3 Locking the local control station


The LEARN-LOCAL-0-REMOTE selector switch may be locked in the positions LOCAL-0-
REMOTE using a suitable commercial padlock. We offer individual keys and locking systems
to suit individual requirements (DREHMO PO number 143429, please indicate the number
of keys required per lock).

4.4 Explosion proof area 22


The actuators are marked as follows: CE 0158EX II 3D (… °C)
Standard ambient temperature range
-25°C to +40°C
Further ambient temperatures are possible, deviations see type plate.

Characteristics of the electrical connections

 It must be ensured that the cable fittings fulfil the required enclosure protection and that
they are suitable to the connection cable.
 Only cable fittings certified for EX Zone 22 are allowed to be used.
 The connection cables must fulfil the requirements in regards to the electrical connec-
tion data and load (mechanical, thermal and chemical).
 Compare supply voltage with the type and rating plate.
 Each actuator needs an adequate, preset fuse element as power protection.
 Use the external earthing terminal to connect the actuator to the equipotential bonding
if there is no secure connection between the actuator and construction parts witch are
connected to the equipotential bonding system.

There is no protection against failures within the power circuit in DREHMO ®-actuators. The
necessary protection measures must be planned and carried out on facility site. In case a
solid state relay (ELR) is used the third phase will not be switched but connected directly to
the motor. In case of failure an impermissible heating of the motor is possible. This needs to
be prevented by an external all-phase switching off of the actuator.

Before mounting and operating of the actuator, the rules for electrical
facilities in explosion endangered areas according to EN 60079-14 must
be considered.
Appliance of a voltage is only allowed if all housings are correctly
sealed. All housing parts must be undamaged.

Seite 50 of 58 DREHMO C-matic manual


Dismounting of the electric housing

During the dismounting of the electronic housing caution has to be taken.

To restore explosion protection it must be assured that the sealing of the actuator housing is
undamaged in order to re-establish IP protection.

Things to consider during assembly

During installation of the actuator the following has to be checked:


 Is the actuator designed to operate the valve? Have the possible torques of the actua-
tor for the valve and the process technical force ratios for the same been adapted?
 Are the dimensions and boreholes of the actuator flange correct and identical to the
opposite flanges?
 Does the output drive form of the actuator comply with the stem details of gear box or
the valve?
 Is a necessary greasing of the output drive available (e.g. stem) and sufficient?
 Does the voltage of the actuator match with the supply voltage?
 Outer earthing terminal for equipotential bonding has to be used.

Ensure the following when using actuators with device category 3D to guarantee the explo-
sion-proof ability:
 Mount the actuator in a way that it cannot be dumped in dust – the temperature of the
housing might otherwise exceed the guaranteed value on the type plate
 Make sure the operation duty complies to specified values – the temperature of the
housing might otherwise exceed the guaranteed value on the type plate
 The operation duties listed are valid up to a dust thickness of a maximum of 5 mm.
Make sure the dust does not exceed a thickness of 5 mm by cleaning the actuator
regularly

5 Maintenance / repair
Proper commissioning is a vital condition for reliable operation.
To ensure readiness for operation particularly when the actuator is rarely in use, we recom-
mend that a test run of the actuator is carried out every six months.
Once a year, check if the flange mounting bolts between the actuator and the valve / gear
unit are sufficiently tight.

If you have complaints related to a DREHMO actuator, please consult us.


Any defective actuator should only be repaired by the manufacturer or by an authorised con-
tractor.

DREHMO C-matic manual Seite 51 of 58


5.1 Oil filling
The actuator is provided with life-time lubrication.
Actuators with lubricating nipple at output drive should be re-greased periodically. Make sure
that only potential loss of grease is replaced. Over-lubrication can cause the actuator to be-
come leaky.

Only the Actuator is provided with lubricant when using the lubricating nipple,
not the spindle!

Lubrication
Unless specifically ordered for operation under extreme climatic conditions the actuators are
filled with oils suitable for operation at ambient temperatures from -25°C to +70°C.

The wear of On-Off-Actuators must be examined at latest after a cumulated runtime of 150
hours, modulating actuators at latest after 106 switching cycles.

Apply a thin coat of Molykote 165 LT to the threads of the screws used to connect
parts of the housing as well as Klüber Isoflex Topas NB5051 to seal surfaces to pre-
vent corrosion.

5.2 Replacing fuses of the power supply


Any defective safety fuses F4 / F5 located in the actuator must be replaced.
The technical data of the fuses are shown in paragraph 3.3.4
The fuses are located beneath the transparent cover next to the transformer.
Disconnect power before replacing the fuses!

5.3 Cleaning
The actuator may be cleaned using commercial soap solution (lye). To prevent heat accumu-
lation and excessive surface temperatures, make sure that the motor cooling fins are kept
free.
Do not use a scouring agent inside the device. Any dirt should be removed using non-fluffing
cloths which do not leave residuals. Do not use compressed air.

5.4 Qualification of maintenance personnel


With respect to the qualifications required for maintenance and repair, two qualification clas-
ses (A and B) can be defined.

For Group A maintenance, it is recommended that the personnel concerned attend a training
course organized by the manufacturer. These are held at regular intervals. Basic knowledge
of electrical installation and machine construction will be sufficient.

Work classified as Group B can only be carried out by the manufacturer or by personnel au-
thorized by him. Different works are assigned to groups hereafter. However, these lists are
not complete.

5.4.1 Maintenance and repair group A


- Changing the motor stator
- Changing the handwheel
- Changing the limit switch
- Changing the counter gear unit
- Changing the plug connector (compact plug)
- Changing the output drive
- Changing the electric controls

5.4.2 Maintenance and repair group B


- Changing the rotary shaft seals and the roller bearing
- Changing the motor & rotor
- Changing the sliding worm shaft
- Works on the gear

5.5 Spare parts


DREHMO actuators are designed to be maintenance-free. However, if spare parts are re-
quired, the manufacturer will provide you any assistance you may need.

5.6 Disposal
System-dependent hazards have to be considered while shutting-down and disassembling
the actuator. If necessary an appropriate disposal can be offered by the manufacturer. The
actuators can be separated into:

 electronic scrap
 different metals
 synthetic materials
 oils und lubes
 old battery (only if the actuator had a battery backup)

General rules:
 oils and lubes are hazardous materials that must not get into the envi-
ronment
 dismantled materials have to disposed properly or rather be recycled
separately
 national regulations for disposal must be followed

5.7 Troubleshooting
After a repair, a functional check must be carried out in accordance with the manual. If the
limit switches, the switching values, the valve or the additional gear box have been modified,
actuator and valve must be commissioned again (see paragraph 3).
