a valve. This actuator is designed to work with valves with a 3/4-inch (20 mm) or 1-1/2-

inch (40 mm) stroke.

Features

•Direct-coupled installation requires no special tools or adjustments

•Visual and electronic stroke indication

•Die-cast aluminum housing

•Manual override

•Spring return to fail-safe position

•Automatic stroke calibration

•Direct or reverse acting

•Adjustable start and span

•Stroke limit control

•Choice of linear or equal-percentage flow characteristic

•Maintenance-free

Application

These electronic actuators are designed to be used with Flowrite 599 Series valves with

either 3/4-inch (20 mm) stroke (SKB/D) or a 1-1/2 inch (40 mm) stroke (SKC) in liquid

and steam service applications; or other manufacturer's valves with appropriate

Universal Valve Linkage Kits.

The actuator accepts a 0 to 10 Vdc or a 4 to 20 mA control signal. The actuator

mounted on a valve produces a stroke proportional to the input signal. When power is

turned off or in the event of a power failure, the actuator spring returns the valve to its

normal position.

Mounting and

Installation

The vertical position is the recommended position for mounting and the only position for

NEMA Type 3R rating with the Weather Shield. Acceptable mounting positions are shown

in Figure 10.

Figure 10. Acceptable Mounting Positions.

Allow four inches (100 mm) around the sides and back of the actuator and eight inches

(200 mm) above and to the front of the actuator.

See dimensions in Figure 23, Figure 24, Figure 25, and Figure 26.

Detailed installation instructions for field mounting are shipped with the actuator.

CAUTION:

When removing the knockout do not damage the circuit board. Use

the top knockout position, if possible.

Start-up

Check the wiring for proper connections.

NOTE: The valve body assembly determines the complete assembly action.

Spring Return

Function

All SKB/C/D62UA actuators are factory-fitted with a spring-return function. If the control

signal or power supply fails, the actuator will return to the 0% stroke position (stem fully

retracted).

Override Control

The override control input (Z) has three modes of operation:

NOTE: The Z-modes have a "direct acting" factory setting.

Stroke Calibration

To determine the stroke positions 0% and 100% in the valve, calibration is required when the

valve/actuator are commissioned for the first time. The actuator must be mechanically

connected to a valve and must have a supply voltage of 24 Vac. The calibration procedure can

be repeated as often as necessary

CAUTION:

Before starting calibration, be sure that the manual adjuster is set to Automatic for

the actual values to register.

There is a slot on the printed circuit boards for the actuators. To

initiate the calibration procedure, the contacts inside this slot must

be short-circuited (possibly with a screwdriver). See Figure 11.

Automatic calibration proceeds as follows (see Figure 12):

•Actuator runs to the 0% stroke position (1), the green LED

flashes.

•Actuator then runs to the 100% stroke position (2), the

green LED flashes.

•Measured values are stored in the EPROM.

•The actuator now moves to the position defined by control

signal Y or Z (3), and the green LED now glows steady

(normal operation).

•Throughout this procedure, output Uis inactive, meaning

the values only represent actual positions when the green

LED stops flashing and remains on continuously.
