2. General 2.1 Proper use Control actuators are intended to be used exclusively for actuating final control elements (valves, vanes, etc.). Do not use these actuators for any other purpose. Otherwise, a hazard of personal injury or of damage to or impairment of the operational reliability of the device may arise. 2.2 Safety and precautions When mounting the actuator in areas which may be accessed by unauthorized persons, take the re- quired protective measures.

8. Electrical Connection Each actuator requires a Contrac electronic unit. Proper actuator operation requires an actuator spe- cific software loaded in this associated electronic unit. See electronic unit instructions for details. Com- pare the data labels on both, electronic unit and actuator, in order to ensure a correct hardware and software assignment.

9. Setup The actuator only requires the basic settings (adaptation to the operating range) in order to be operated with the standard or custumer specific configuration. Use the Local Control Panel (LCP) for these set- tings. Use the appropriate configuration software for more detailed parameter changes or diagnosis functions.
9.1.4 Setting 9.1.4.1 “Setting” mode - Set electronics to “setting” mode by pressing both push buttons (3) simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds, until both LEDs (2 + 8) are flashing synchronously at approx. 4Hz. („setting mode“ is the standard electronic unit status after passing the final factory test) 9.1.4.2 Defining first position (0% or 100%) (Higher precision in 2nd position)
10.Maintenance Contrac actuators have a robust construction. As a result, they are highly reliable and require only little maintenance. The maintenance intervals depend upon the effective load and are therefore not specified here. The built-in microprocessor evaluates the actual load factors (e.g. torques, temperatures, etc.) and de- rives the remaining operating time until the next routine maintenance is required.
