Limit Switch Settings

The end of travel limit switches have been factory set
for approximately 90° of valve travel. They will however
coincide with the exact end of valve travel positions.
The switches and their operating cams are located
under the limit switch bracket which is fixed to the top
of the motor.

* Set mechanical stops before setting limit
switches.
* The switches should be adjusted after the
actuator is installed on the valve and after the
mechanical stops have been set.
* The motor is de-energized once the flatted side
of the cam is in contact with the limit switch
actuator arm, and the switch is no longer de-
pressed.
* Capacitor may be removed from the limit switch
bracket for better access.
* For more precise setting you can leave the Allen
wrench in the cam during setting procedure.
