2. Ambient Temperature, Medium Temperature
1) The ambient temperature is in the range of -30℃ ~ 60℃.
2) When the ambient temperature is below zero, install a dehumidifier in the machine.
3) When the working medium is high temperature, the bracket connected with the valve plays a role in reducing heat conduction.
4) When the working medium temperature is below 60℃, please choose the standard support.
5) When the working medium temperature is above 60℃, please choose the high-temperature bracket.

5) When the working medium temperature is above 60℃, please choose the high-temperature bracket.
3. Valve Connection
1) Manually turn the valve, confirm that there is no abnormal situation, turn it to the fully closed position, and fix the support on the valve.
2) Place the electric actuator on the support and screw it on gently with bolts and nuts.
3) Turn the electric actuator to the closed position, and fix the valve core shaft and the electric actuator output shaft with the coupling and screw.
4) Use the handle to turn the electric actuator; the movement should be smooth. Be careful not to cross the set limit switch limit.
Note: When installing, make sure that the switch of the actuator is consistent with the switch of the valve. The flange at the bottom of the actuator meets the ISO5211 standard. If the valve connected to it also meets this standard, it can be easily connected; if this standard is not met, an additional bracket connection is required.

4. Adjustment
1) Adjustment of Stroke Limit:
Turn the handwheel to move the actuator to the position where the valve is fully closed. Then, loosen the limit CAM tightening nut with a wrench, turn the limit CAM (yellow for open, red for close) to adjust it to just press the lower limit switch, and hear the "click" sound 2 times. Then tighten the limit CAM, adjusting the full close position. Set the full open position in the same way (As shown in Figure 14).

2) Adjustment of Mechanical Limit:
Loosen the mechanical limit nut and make sure the actuator moves to the full-closed position. Rotate the limiting nuts, then stop rotating when it comes across the fan-shaped gear inside. Screw out two circles and finally screw the nuts (As shown in Figure 15).

3) Adjustment of Potentiometer:
The potentiometer outputs a feedback signal in the actuator with three output pins. The middle pin is the output, and the left and right sides are the power supply (Note: the resistor should not have a resistance value of zero and jump phenomenon). Use the handle to turn the valve to the fully open position. Use a multimeter to measure the operation of the limit switch. Adjust the pin resistance on the terminal to the range of 35Ω-60Ω. If it is not correct, it can be adjusted by turning the potentiometer transmission gear (As shown in Figure 16).

5. Test Operation
1) Manual Operation:
Cut power off before making manual operations. Insert the manual handle into the hexagonal hole underneath the rubber cap.
Note: When opening to the full-open and full-closed positions, after the limit switch turns a half circle, it will encounter the mechanical block. If rotated excessively, it could result in damage to other parts, so excessive force should be avoided.

2) Power Operation:
Before making power operations:
* Confirm that the indication on the position meter and the valve opening match each other.
* Confirm that the circuits are properly wired and that the unit operates in the correct direction with external switches.
1) Check the wiring diagram, power supply, and input/output signals correctly.
2) Don't change the internal wiring.
3) Please check the rotating direction if the power supply is three-phase.
4) Make sure the actuator is in the on/off position, turn on the power, and input the open signal.
5) If the actuator runs in the open direction, it means the wiring is correct.
6) If not, 2 wiring lines of the 3 wiring lines must be changed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What should be checked before installing the BN electric actuator?
Before installation, verify the packing contents (product list, test report, wiring diagram), ensure the nameplate matches the purchase order, avoid putting the actuator in full-open or full-closed positions before limit switch settings are complete, and seal the cable interface after wiring.
What types of valves can the BN series electric actuator control?
The BN series electric actuator is designed to control 0-270° rotary valves, including butterfly valves, ball valves, throttles, baffle valves, and plug valves.
Can the actuator be operated manually, and what precautions are needed?
Yes, it has a handle for manual operation. Always ensure the power supply is turned "OFF" before operating manually, and avoid using excessive force to prevent damaging internal components when hitting mechanical blocks.
What is the protection grade of the housing and can it be used outdoors?
The standard protection grade is IP66, with an optional IP67. For outdoor installations, it is recommended to use a protective cover or choose the IP67 protection level to shield it from rain and direct sunlight.
Does the actuator require regular lubrication or oil changes?
No. The actuator is pre-lubricated with a special molybdenum base grease, meaning there is no need to add oil during its operational lifespan.
How do I adjust the stroke limit of the valve?
Turn the handwheel to close the valve fully, loosen the limit CAM tightening nut, rotate the limit CAM (yellow for open, red for close) until it presses the lower limit switch and clicks twice, then tighten the nut. Repeat the same process for the fully open position.
