2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The scope of this manual is to enable a competent user to install, operate, adjust and inspect a
CENTORK quarter turn electric actuator. These instructions must be observed, otherwise a safe
operation of the actuator is no longer warranted.

As electric device, during electrical operation certain parts inevitably carry lethal voltages and
currents (ELECTRICAL RISKS). Work on the electrical system or equipment must only be
carried out by a skilled electrician himself or by specially instructed personnel, in accordance
with the applicable electrical engineering rules, health and safety Directives and any other
national legislation applicable.

Under no circumstances should any modification or alteration be carried out on the actuator as
this could very well invalidate the conditions which the device was designed.

Under operation, motor enclosure surfaces can reach high temperatures (up to 100ºC).
Protection measures should be taken into acount in order to prevent people and goods from it.

3 TRANSPORT AND STORAGE

3.1 Transport and actuator handling

− CENTORK electric actuators must be transported in sturdy packing. During transport

measures should be adopt in order to prevent impacts, hits. CENTORK delivers its actuators ex-
work.
− Hits or impacts against wall, surfaces or objects might cause severe damage on Electric
actuator. In these cases, after such events, a technical inspection must be done by CENTORK
technicians.
− Do not attach to the handwheel ropes or hooks to lift by hoist.
− The valve-actuator unit cannot be lifted/manipulated employing any lifting point of the actuator;
Actuator has been designed and sized in order to motorize industrial valves, and withstand the
torque required.
− Covers have to be properly closed (Tight) and sealed. Cable entries on electrical
connection cover must be sealed. Do not manipulate the protection plugs: Metallic
protection plug are sealed with PTFE tape.
− Each Actuator is delivered with a set of technical documentation (User manual, datasheet,
diagrams…), which has to be carefully stored.

3.2 Storage and commissioning

Despite of their high degree of protection (IP67 as standard, and IP68 optional) condensation –
presence of water- can occur inside the electric actuators by incorrect and negligent handling
of the actuators. This may damage sensitive internal parts during the storage. This problem
can be avoided by observing the following points.

− Verify the actuator to insure correct model number, torque, options and special components,
voltage and enclosure type, and the actuator control before installation or use. It is important to
verify that the actuator is appropriate for the requirements of the valve and the intended
application. If there is any discrepancy, please contact with your local distributor, or CENTORK, to
solve that discrepancy. Once the electric actuator has been set up, CENTORK decline any
responsibility related to discrepancies.

Pag 6 INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL

 − While commissioning, CENTORK recommend a visual inspection in order to detect any
anomaly caused during the transport, handling or during the storage; Checking should
include a visual inspection of the switching and signalling unit compartment.
− Check that the painting work of the actuator is not been damaged. Retouch it when damaged.
− Check that actuator cover is correctly closed ant tight. Check that protection plugs for the cable
entries are correctly closed ant tight. Protection plug must be sealed with PTFE tape.
− If damages like shocks, cracks, hits or others due to an improper handling, or humidity inside the
equipment due to improper storage appear, contact CENTORK or your nearest distributor.
− CENTORK quarter turn electric actuators are packed in sturdy packing: Store in a clean,
cool, dry and ventilated place. Protect against humidity from the floor. Use pallets, wooden
frames, cage boxes or shelves. Do not store the actuator directly on the ground! Cover it to
protect it from dust and dirt. Cover the machined parts with suitable protection against
corrosion. Do not employ plastic bags, as they can cause condensation.
− Each Actuator is delivered with a set of technical documentation (User manual, datasheet,
diagrams…), which has to be carefully stored.

4 PRE-INSTALLATION INSPECTION
− Verify the actuators nameplate to insure correct model number, torque, operating speed, options and
special components, voltage and enclosure type before installation or use.
− It is important to verify that the output torque of the actuator is appropriate for the torque
requirements of the valve and that the actuator duty cycle is appropriate for the intended application.
− If there is any discrepancy, please contact with your local distributor, or CENTORK, to solve that
discrepancy. Once the electric actuator has been set up, CENTORK decline any responsibility
related to discrepancies.

5 ACTUATOR MOUNTING
− Do not lift the actuator by the handwheel. Do not attach to the handwheel ropes or hooks to
lift by hoist.
− The actuator may be mounted in any position
− The CENTORK quarter turn electric actuator Series are supplied with a female drive output.
ISO5211. Bolt patterns are provided for actuator mounting. The actuator drive bush is removable
for ease of machining (except fop 480.007). To remove the drive bush, just take out the 2 fixing
screws bolts DIN912.
− It is mandatory that the actuator be firmly secured to a sturdy mounting bracket or directly mounted
to the valve’s ISO mounting pad. High tensile bolts or studs with spring locking washers must be
used.
− When required, the actuator output flange can be rotate 45º, in this case, it is necessary to release
the 8 bolts (DIN912) that fix the flange to the actuator housing, and then, rotate the flange.
− The valve output shaft must be inline with the actuator output drive to avoid side-loading the shaft.
To avoid any backlash no flexibility in the mounting bracket or mounting should be allowed.
− Reserve the space for maintenance routines and tasks.

INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL Pag 7

6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

Safety instructions on chapter 2 must be observed. Work on electrical system or equipment must
only be carried out by skilled electrician.
Wiring diagram is enclosed inside the quarter turn electric actuator (Electric compartment) Just in case
the wiring diagram is missing, contact with your distributor or CENTORK Valve Control. Observe the
max. allowable current/voltage values of electric devices (Microswitches, heater, transmitter…)
− Standard factory units are anti-clockwise to open!
− Loosen the screws on the actuator cover and lift it off.
− Make sure that power supply voltage is in accordance with
the data on the actuator nameplate
− Use and install proper cable glands and protection plug,
according to IP protection degree. Seal properly the
cable glands. Warranty is no longer valid if this is not
respected.
− Pass cables through cable glands.
− Connect according to the enclosed wiring diaphragm. Employ a proper screw driver in order to
release the terminals. Wire should be 8~9 mm maximum.
− Check that all cable glands are correctly tighten
− Clean sealing faces at terminal cover and check whether O-ring is in good condition. Mount cover
and tighten cover bolts.
Power Requirements: Consult the nameplate of the actuator for duty cycle and current draw information
Duty Cycle: Duty cycle rated IEC34 – S2 or S4 (See standard features chapter), exceeding the
actuator’s rated duty cycle may cause thermal overload.

7 PRELIMINARY TEST AND SETTINGS

− Move the valve manually to an half-open position, operate an electrical opening and check
that the motor rotates in the right direction (Visual disc indicator or valve shaft could help for
this). Stop immediately if NOT. Instructions have been made for standard electric actuators:
CLOCKWISE TO CLOSE
− Test run the actuator and check that the limit switches work correctly
− Check that all cable glands are correctly tighten.
− Clean sealing surfaces at terminal cover and check whether O-ring is in good condition. Mount cover
and tighten cover bolts.

7.1 Sense of rotation

7.1.1 Actuator-Valve sense of rotation:

− Run the actuator manually (See 7.2 chapter) by mean of the handwheel. When turning the
handwheel clockwise, valve must close. Also, check that actuator visual indication disc rotates
clockwise as well: This means that valve and actuator are CLOCKWISE-TO CLOSE.
− In case that turning the actuator handwheel valve opens instead of closing, that means that sense of
rotation (valve and actuator) is COUNTER-CLOCKWISE-TO-CLOSE. In this case, ACTUATOR
needs to be reconfigured as a COUNTER-CLOCKWISE (See 7.6 chapter)

Pag 8 INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL

7.1.2 Motor sense of rotation.
− Run the actuator electrically and check if actuator runs to close, visual disc indicator turns
CLOCKWISE (For standard sense of rotation). If not, check the power supply cables (U-V-W) in the
wiring diagram.

7.2 Handwheel and Declutching

Quarter turn electric actuators are provided with a declutchable manual override system. The
override engagement lever returns automatically to auto position when the actuator is operated
electrically, this is called “motor priority”.
When handwheel is rotate CLOCKWISE, actuator output shaft turns CLOCKWISE.

For 480.007 models

− In order to manually operate the actuator, take the 5 mm
Allen key wrench tool (See picture)
− Key wrench tool has to be coupled to hexagonal head
hub shaft of the actuator in order to operate it.
Turn clockwise to close and anti-clockwise to open.

For 480.010 models and higher

− In order to manually operate the actuator, pull the manual override
− Engagement lever towards the handwheel until it remains in position.
− Turn the handwheel until the valve reaches the required position
− Turn clockwise to close and anti-clockwise to open

7.3 Mechanical Travel Stop Adjustment

Mechanical travel stops are designed in order to limit the actuator stroke end positions (0-90º)
in case that a limit switch failure. Open and close limit switches must be correctly set. It is not
recommended operating continuously against these mechanical travel stops, they might be
damaged.

Adjust the close travel stop in valve closed position first.

− Loosen both travel stop stud bolt nuts by 3~4 threads
− Manually operated the actuator to valve closed position until
its makes trip contact with the closed limit switch.
OPEN
− Forward adjust travel stop stud bolt until it contacts the worm TRAVEL
wheel (In this position the stud bolt should not be able to STOP
CLOSE
travel any further). TRAVEL
STOP
− Adjust the travel stop stud back one turn and tighten the lock
nut
Figure 7.3
Repeat the same setting operation for the open travel stop

ADVISE: both travel stop stud bolts limit the 0-90º travel of the output wheel. If the stud bolt is
completely unscrewed or loosen, the output wheel can be disengaged (gear) from wrom pinion,
at the end positions. In that case, move by means of handwheel to a middle position in order to
“engage” the worm pinion and wheel again.

7.4 Limit Switch Setting
Operate the actuator manually to valve closed position
− Using an Allen key, loosen the set screw in the CLOSE limit
switch cam (For 480.010 and higher, it is normally marked
with a “CLS” indication, see picture). For 480.007 models,
with a nº13 wrench tool, loosen the nut and proceed to set
the limit switches, both cams are marked with CLS and OLS.
− Rotate the CLS cam towards CW limit switch lever until the
switch ‘clicks’ .
− Tighten set screw with hex wrench 480.007 models
− Lower cam marked CLS

NOTE: Instructions have been made for standard electric

actuators: CLOCKWISE TO CLOSE (See 7.1 chapter)
Operated the actuator manually to valve open position
− Using an Allen key, loosen the set screw in the OPEN limit
switch cam. (For 480.010 and higher, it is normally marked
with a “OLS” indication, see picture).
− Rotate the OLS cam towards CCW limit switch lever until the
switch ‘clicks’
− Raise cam marked OLS 480.010 models and higher
− Tighten set screw with hex wrench, or nut for 480.007
models.

7.5 Torque Switch Setting

The torque switches are adjusted from factory to protect actuator
and valve against overloading and should normally NOT be
adjusted or modified on site.
Should adjustment be necessary, please contact our factory or distributor
before adjusting.
Torque switches NOT AVAILABLE in 480.007 and 480.010 models!
Torque switches bolts has been sealed with a red wax. Warranty
would be invalid if broken.

7.6 Counter-Clockwise to Close Setting

Standard factory actuators are normally set to clockwise rotation to CLOSE. When actuator must be
configured as a COUNTER-CLOCKWISE consult CENTORK PREVIOUSLY. The rotation can be
reverse to anti-clockwise to close by simply reconfiguring the wiring as follows:
− Reverse wiring in the main terminal block the limit switches and the power supply.
− Adjust the visual indicator to suit the anti-clockwise rotation.
− When actuator has optional elements such us potentiometer, 4-20 mA transmitter or RPC positioner
card, then, reverse the 1 and 3 potentiometer cables.

7.7 Mechanical Position indicator Setting

− Manually rotate actuator to fully closed position
− Remove actuator cover. Loosen indicator screw.
− Adjust indicator to correct orientation.
− Tighten indicator screw
− Mount and close the cover. Check its O-ring.

Pag 10 INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL

7.8 Potentiometer setting (Optional element)
Potentiometer gives a signal proportional to valve position. Potentiometer nominal value (CENTORK
standard) is 10 kOhms. For other values, consult CENTORK. Potentiometer has been already set in
Centork Facilities, when a new adjustment is required, then:
− Manually rotate actuator to fully closed position
− Remove actuator cover.
− Loosen potentiometer wheel-gear (pinion) screw.
− Turn the pinion in order to reduce the potentiometer signal to its
lowest or desired minimum value. Give some margin
(backlash); Potentiometer has to end tops, in case that
potentiometer ends reached before the valve end position,
potentiometer might be damaged.
− Tighten wheel-gear (pinion) screw.
− Manually or electrically run the actuator to fully open position. Check potentiometer value.
− Mount and close the actuator cover, check O-ring, and tight it.

7.9 TPS 4-20 mA transmitter setting (Optional element)

TPS Transmitter gives a signal (Current or Voltage) proportional to valve position. Check Voltage
supply polarity before!.. For TPS configurations (Current or voltage signal, 2, 3 or 4 wires) consult
annexe. TPS transmitter has been already set in Centork Facilities, when a new adjustment is
required, then:
− Manually rotate actuator to fully closed position
− Remove actuator cover.
− Loosen potentiometer wheel-gear (pinion) screw.
− Turn the pinion in order to reduce the potentiometer signal to its
lowest or desired minimum value. Give some margin (backlash);
Potentiometer has to end tops, in case that potentiometer ends
reached before the valve end position, potentiometer might be
damaged.
− Tighten wheel-gear screw.
− With a suitable screwdriver turn the “ZERO” potentiometer trimmer in
order to set the minimum value (4 mA, 0 mA or 0 Volts, depending
on configuration chosen). Potentiometer is marked with “ZERO” on
electronic board or with a label, depending on model.
− Manually or electrically run the actuator to fully open position. With a suitable screwdriver turn the
“SPAN” potentiometer trimmer in order to set the minimum value (20 mA or 10 Volts, depending on
configuration chosen).
− Run the actuator back to the CLOSED position and check the minimum current again. If this is not,
readjust it again. The TPS electronic circuit the zero and span adjustment affects each other. Repeat
this process until optimum adjustment values (Feedback signal for open and close positions) are
reached.
− Mount and close the actuator cover, check O-ring, and tight it.

INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL Pag 11

8 REMOTE POSITIONER CONTROLLER RPC SETTING (OPTIONAL)
CENTORK Remote Position Controller RPC is the local actuator controller (Positioner), using 12bit A/D
converter and 8 bits Microprocessor, this electronic device controls actuator operation, moving to open
and close direction, according to the input signal from main controller. This device has been designed to
control electric actuator for general-purpose industrial valve. Other applications should be consulted
CENTORK before. The RPC is an optional element.

For 480.007 and 480.010 models, due to small actuator

dimensions or size, the RPC is fitted in a external box
mounted on actuator.

RPC Devices are normally set and configured in

CENTORK facilities. Polarity and proper connection
must be done according to wiring diagram.

8.1 Setting input signal

User can select suitable input signal by adjusting DIPSWITCHES as follows. CENTORK already set
the signal as 4-20mA.

NOTE: 0/10V configuration is special. Consult CENTORK for proper instructions.

8.2 Setting fail position

In order to prevent serious trouble when input signal is failed, user

can set the fail position of actuator by setting of DIPSWITCHES as
follows.

Fails close

Fail open

Fail stop

8.3 Delay time

This prevents continuous operation of RPC card caused by abnormal INPUT signal due to EMC noise
and other foreign frequency or signal.
Once INPUT signal is detected, RPC waits for some time, the preset time (Delay
time) -RPC doesn’t move within the pre-set time-, when the preset time is over,
then RPC runs and executes new order (Input signal).

Range: 0.5 ~ 8sec, 1 step: 0.5sec, 0~15 step

Pag 12 INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL

8.4 Dead band

This is the tolerance between INPUT signal and the position of actuator. When
turn this SETTING TOOL to clockwise, it is getting wider.

BE careful when turn this to counter-clockwise too much, sensitivity is getting increase, it
could be the reason of called “PUMPING” effect: The actuator never finishes to reach the
position (Never stops) because is always moving to open and to close. This effect can burn
the motor and damage other components

Range: 0.1~4.5%, 1step 0.3%, 0~15step

8.5 RPC auto-setting

It is necessary to calibrate the RPC electronic board prior to operation. The A-SCAN function permits
to calibrate the RPC automatically.
− Actuator must be correctly wired according to enclosed wiring
diagram, specially the RPC board. Check polarity as well. Wire
the input and output signal.
− Open and close limit switches must be set before (See 7.4
chapter), potentiometer must be set before.
− Run the actuator to a middle position.
− Generate an input signal, inside of 4-20 mA range, example, 12
mA
− According to actuator wiring diagram, select the REMOTE
operation.
− Keep pressing the A-SCAN button of the RPC board until the
RPC lamps flash in yellow colour, then RPC will start running.

Once the A-SCAN button is pressed, the RPC board starts running. It moves open and close in order
to detect both ends positions and calibrate in each position the feedback signal (4 mA in close position
and 20 mA in open position). This process take some time (A couple of minutes), once it has been
correctly done, the RPC will move the actuator according to the INPUT signal value, following the
example, 12 mA.
If RPC board cannot achieve this process, the “FAULT” lamp will flash. Check the potentiometer
connexion and settings, the wiring and connexion of the INPUT/OUTPUT signal according to wiring
diagram.

8.6 RPC setting and calibration (CH2)

This function allows to set the 4 mA (Close position) and 20 mA (Open

position)

It is necessary to remove (Disconnect on terminals) the 4-20 mA

INPUT signal !!!

Close position
− Run the actuator to close position.
− Set the potentiometer to its minimum value (See 7.8
chapter). Give some margin (backlash); Potentiometer
has to end tops, in case that potentiometer ends
reached before the valve end position, potentiometer
might be damaged.
− Then put CH2 DIP SWITCH (Nº 5) “ON” status.

INSTALATION AND MAINTENACE USER MANUAL Pag 13

 − Push ZERO button, for a while, until “Close setting” is
done. Notice that the output current signal is “updated” at 4
mA.
− Change the CH2 DIP SWITCH (Nº 5) to “OFF” status.

Open position
− Run the actuator to open position.
− Then put CH2 DIP SWITCH (Nº 5) “ON” status.
− Push SPAN button for a while until “Open setting” is done.
Notice that the output current signal is 20 mA.
− Change the CH2 DIP SWITCH (Nº 5) to “OFF” status.

Finally, connect again the INPUT signal and check the operation
by remote INPUT signal 4~20mA.
