Closing the valve Activating the solenoid valve (5) allows the oil in the pressure chamber to flow back into
the suction chamber. The compressed return spring moves the pressure cylinder
upwards. The valve stem extends and the valve closes
Manual operation mode Turning the manual adjuster (1) clockwise moves the pressure cylinder downwards and
opens the valve. Simultaneously the return spring is compressed.
In the manual operation mode the control signals Y and Z can further open the valve
but cannot move to the «0%» stroke position of the valve. To retain the manually set
position, switch off the power supply or disconnect the control signals Y and Z. The red
indicator marked «MAN» is visible.
Note: Controller in When setting the controller for a longer time period to manual operation, we
manual operation recommend adjusting the actuator with the manual adjuster to the desired position. This
guarantees that the actuator remains in this position for that time period. Attention: Do
not forget to switch back to automatic operation after the controller is set back to
automatic control.
Automatic mode Turn the manual adjuster counterclockwise to the end stop. The pressure cylinder
moves upward to the «0%» stroke position of the valve. The red indicator marked
«MAN» is no longer visible.
Minimal volumetric flow The actuator can manually be adjusted to a stroke position > 0 % allowing its use in
applications requiring constantly a minimal volumetric flow.
Spring-return facility The SKC32.61, SKC82.61U and SKC62… actuators, which feature a spring-return
function, incorporate an additional solenoid valve which opens if the control signal or
power fails. The return spring causes the actuator to move to the
3/16
SKC32…/SKC82… The valve is controlled by a 3-position signal either via terminals Y1 or Y2 and
3-position control signal generates the desired stroke by means of above described principle of operation.
• Voltage on Y1 piston extends valve opens
• Voltage on Y2 piston retracts valve closes
• No voltage on Y1 and Y2 piston / valve stem remain in the respective position
SKC62…, SKC60 The valve is either controlled via terminal Y or override control Z. The positioning signal
Y control signal Y generates the desired stroke by means of above described principle of operation.
DC 0...10 V and/or • Signal Y increasing: piston extends valve opens
DC 4...20 mA, 0…1000 Ω • Signal Y decreasing: piston retracts valve closes
• Signal Y constant: piston / valve stem remain in the respective position
• Override control Z see description of override control input, page 7
Frost protection monitor A frost protection thermostat can be connected to the SKC6… actuator. The added
Frost protection signals from the QAF21... and QAF61... require the use of SKC62UA actuators. Notes
thermostat on special programming of the electronics are described under «Enhanced electronics»
on page 5.
«Connection diagrams» for operation with frost protection thermostat or frost protection
monitor refer to page 14.

Calibration In order to determine the stroke positions 0 % and 100 % in the valve, calibration is
SKC62…, SKC60 required on initial commissioning:
Prerequisites
• Mechanical coupling of the actuator SKC6… with a Siemens valve
• Actuator must be in «Automatic operation» enabling stroke calibration to
capture the effective 0 % and 100 % values
• AC 24 V power supply
• Housing cover removed

Commissioning notes
When commissioning the system, check the wiring and functions, and set any auxiliary
switches and potentiometers as necessary, or check the existing settings.

The manual adjuster must be rotated counterclockwise to the end stop.
This causes the Siemens valves, types VVF... and VXF... to close (stroke = 0 %).
Automatic operation For automatic operation, the crank (2) on the manual adjustment knob (1) must be
engaged. If not engaged, turn the crank counter-clockwise until the display window (3)
neither shows the scale (4) nor the crank engagement bar.
