2 Technical data
On request, technical data related to these actuators is available (see also DREHMO
homepage on the internet). An introduction relating to the subject is included in the brochure
“DREHMO-C-matic, smart actuators for cost effective solutions".
Data relevant for operation, service and maintenance are indicated on the type plates of the
actuator and of the motor:
Operating mode acc. to DIN EN 60034-1 see paragraph Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht

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.

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.

Operating mode:
DMCR 500
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.
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.
Line protection (on site) Each actuator must have a suitable line protection!
The right value for the fuse has to be chosen according to
the motor data, cable cross-section and regional regulations!
Contact load capability default outputs: max. 230 V AC/ 0.3 A/ 30 V DC/ 2A
gold-plated contacts voltage: 5 ... 30 V/ current: 4 ... 400 mA/ U x I 0,12 VA

In combination with a fieldbus interface there are additional restrictions according to the cable cross section and the contact load capability
possible which must be regarded. Refer to the manual of the according fieldbus interface for further information.

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.
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.
3.1.1.1 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.

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.
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.).

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.

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.
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.
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.

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!

The two torque switches DR1 (torque right-hand rotation) and DL2 (torque left-hand rotation)
are activated by a cam disk. The angle
3 depends on the actuator output torque.
Adjustment: 4
The torque is factory-set according to the data specified in the order. On request, the torque
can be indicated on the type plate.5
If no setting torque is stated in the order, the smallest possible torque is set ex works from
the manufacturer.
Progressive adjustment of the torque according to the range indicated on the type plate can
be made as follows using the torque (Md.) scales:
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
picture.
If the feedback signal is unused, a direct wiring between the two respec-
tive 4 to 20mA terminal blocks is necessary – see wiring diagram.

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.

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.

For connection of the slave, a so-called master data file ("GSD-File") is required for the ac-
tuator. This file can be found at http://www.drehmo.com.

(LEARN button LT optional)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

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