5.FUNCTIONING
FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLE AND STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS
5.1 Functioning Principle
Electric modulating actuator is the main operating element of the auto-control system. It’s driven by three
phases or single phase alternating current. It can receive standard signal (including the analog and digital quantity),
transform this signal into corresponding mechanical displacement ( L) and operate the modulating mechanism and
fulfill the automatic adjustment.
For the system block diagram of electric modulating actuator , see Fig. 1

position position signal transmitter

control system

Fig.1
When the electric modulating actuator is in automatic mode, the MCU digital control module in the actuator
receives the standard analog signals (4~20mA, DC) from auto-control system, and compares them with the
standard analog signals (4~20mA, DC) coming from the position transmitter in the actuator. If the difference is
more than the dead
zone set by user, the MCU digital control module will emit control signals to drive the electric modulating actuator
to run in the direction to reduce the deviation between the both, till the deviation is less than or equal to the dead
zone set in the electric actuator; the MCU digital control module will emit again control signals, to make the
electric actuator stop.
When the electric modulating actuator is in manual control mode, it can be operated with the buttons in the
electric compartment of the actuator.

5.2 Structural Characteristics

5.2.1 Special electric motor
Special electric motor for control valve is the driving component of the electric modulating actuator; its
characteristic requirements are different from the common motors. As the actuator works frequently and is often in
starting condition, the motor is required to have the characteristics of higher starting torque with less rotating inertia
and lower starting current to prevent it from over heat due to frequent starting, and to be able to provide with
enough torque to success from static status to operating. To increase the reliability of the electric actuator, and to
overcome inertia of system, electric modulating actuator adopts the brake measure with reverse power connection
through MCU digital control module.
3
5.2.2 Reducer
The reducer is used to change the motor output power of high speed and little torque into the actuator output
power of low speed and great torque. Motor/manual clutch is semi-automatic, i.e. for manual drive, pull the lever
in the arrow direction, and for motor drive, it will turn back automatically by motor operation.

5.2.3 Position Signal Transmitter (BS-2)

The signal transmitter converts axial displace (L) of valve stem into DC 4~20mA signals linearly in two
channels: one for closed-loop negative feedback signals from the proportional electric actuator, and another for
position signals from output shaft of electric actuator, the position signals indicate valve position. The signal
transmitter is composed by accurate electro-conductive plastics rotating potentiometer (as sensor) and BS-2 module.
With the structure adopting rotating accurate electro-conductive plastics potentiometer, the circuit is simple, the
linearity is high, and the service life is as long as 3 million cycles.

5.2.4 Travel Limiter, Torque Limiter, and Position Indicator

The travel limiter in the actuator is an electric position limit. The torque limiter is a protective structure to
protect the actuator and the valve. The position indicator is to indicate the open or closed direction and the position
of the valve. For the structure of the travel limiter, torque limiter and position indicator in the ZBTZ linear electric
modulating actuator, see Chapter 7 Installation and Setting.

5.2.5 Composition and Functions of MCU Digital Control Module

The MCU digital control module is composed of CPU chip, A/D converting circuit, return circuit, scale
converting circuit, hand-control electric driving circuit, regulating circuit for dead zone and action forbidden time.
The system block diagram is shown in Fig.2.

Fig.2 The system block diagram of MCU

The CPU chip adopts 89C2051 single chip from ATMEL Co., and is the core control unit of the MCU digital
control module. It receives signals from the other circuits and coordinates all digital control modules via
calculating.
The scale converting circuit converts the DC 4~20mA signals coming from auto-control system and from
position transmitter into the 1~5V voltage signals.
Receiving the 1~5V voltage signals coming from scale converting circuit, the A/D converting circuit operates
calculations of the set signals and position signals with sampling arithmetic under the control of the CPU chip, and
converts analog quantity into digital quantity for CPU chip to use.
The return circuit restores the single chip and activates it. At the same time, the return circuit monitors and
controls the electric source of the MCU digital control module. When the electric source of system declines to a
certain value, the return circuit restores the single chip to guarantee the normal operation. In addition, this return
circuit is also provided with function of watch-dog, to ensure stable and reliable running of control programs
The hand-control electric operating circuit is to drive electric actuator through manual operation on press
button.
The regulating circuit for dead zone is to interdict any motion of the actuator thereby to eliminate vibration and
sway phenomena when the differential between the input signals and feedback signals is within the dead zone
The regulating circuit for motion forbidden time plays the role of electronic timer; once the actuator reaches
stopping position, it will interdict further motion of actuator within regulated time.

 8. INSTALLATION AND SETTING
8.1 installation and wiring
To install the integrated electric modulating actuator, enough space must be left so as to make easier for local
hand-operating and dismounting for maintenance. During the maintenance, the electric box cover and the entrance
of wires must be sealed, and the entrance nut must be screwed tightly to prevent the electric box from moisture and
rainwater. The service environment such as temperature and relative humidity for electric modulating actuator must
be conformed to the requirements described in Chapter 3.
Before electric connecting, the electric power must be cut off. Internal wiring of the actuator is finished
before delivery; user only needs to connect the external wires to terminals inside the compartment of electric
actuator according to wiring diagram.
During arrangement, wires transmitting the 4~20mA current signals must be separated from power lines;
shielded twist pair wire is recommended to cut off interfering coupling channel.
Put the switch “manual/auto” in the installation board to “manual”; at the same time, put the valve on the
medium position and turn on 3-phase electric power. When the button “open” is pressed, the actuator will run in
“open” direction and the needle of position indicator will point to “open”; or, when the button “close” is pressed,
the actuator will run in “close” direction and the needle of position indicator will turn to “close”, that means the
phase sequence of 3-phase AC power supply for electric actuator conforms to the phase sequence required, and the
electric actuator runs in normal state. When the button “open” or “close” is pressed, the electric actuator will run
and the needle of position indicator will turn in the reverse direction of button, that means the phase sequence of
3-phase AC power supply for electric actuator is reversed, user must put off the power and exchange two arbitrary
phases of the 3-phase AC power supply (for example, exchange the lines no. 2 and no. 3 on the terminal block) to
correct the phase sequence. The electric actuator can run in normal state only when the phase sequence of 3-phase
AC power supply conforms to the sequence required by electric actuator.

8.2 Setting of travel limiter (The arrow indicating the rotation direction of the adjusting axis is depended on the
object)

8.2.1 ZBTZ, ZBTD, ZCTD and DQTJ, see Fig.19

（1）Setting of the valve “complete close” position:
① Turn the hand lever of manual/auto clutch in the arrow direction, operate manually the valve to close
completely, and take it back a little from this position.
②Press down top axle with a screwdriver, and rotate it 90º till it is clipped.
③ Rotate adjusting axle for “close” in the arrow direction till the little protuberant bar happens to be
approximately in the consistent direction of the two arrows on both sides.
④ Rotate the top axle back to the original position.
（2）Setting of the valve “complete open” position.
① After the setting of the valve “complete close” position, open manually the valve just before “complete
Open” position (approximately 95% of total travel is recommended).
② Press down top axle with a screwdriver, and rotate it 90º till it is clipped.
③ Rotate adjusting axle for “open” in the arrow direction till the little protuberant bar happens to be
approximately in the consistent direction of the two arrows on both sides.
④ Rotate the top axle back to the original position.
When adjusting of ZBTZ actuator, incorporate the screwed depth if pull rod, pin and scaled indicator in
Fig.20.

8.2.2 QBTJ, see Fig.21

Travel mechanism is as shown in Fig.12. The mechanism is provided with four units of “ opening ”，
“clothing”，“MED1”and “MED2”.Microswitch for opening, i.e. SLo in the figure, is used to control valve
position during opening travel. Microswitch for closing, i.e. SLc in the figure, is used to control valve position
during closing travel. MED1 and MED2 marked respectively SLo1 and SLc1, are used to control the medium
position, limit position of opening or closing. Adjustment of travel mechanism is for the purpose of making cam of
travel mechanism press microswitch precisely and transmit control signal when valve reaches the required position.
Adjusting procedure:
① Rotate handwheel to make valve seat.
② Remove screw and dial, rotate setting axle for closing to make the cam of closing just touch SLc
microswitch (while click is heard).
③ Open the valve to about 50% of travel. Then close the valve by electric operation to check if the valve stops
15
 at required position. If it does not meet the requirement, continue above micro adjusting of cam until it meets
the requirement.
④ Open the valve to complete opening, rotate setting axle for opening to make the cam of opening just touch SLo
microswitch. ( while click is heard.)
⑤ Close the valve to about 50% of travel, open the valve by electric operation to check if the valve stops at
required position. If it does not meet the requirement, continue adjusting until it meets the requirement.
⑥ Adjustment of medium position: Users may use MED1 and MED2 for medium position in opening or closing
direction. （ or complete opening, complete closing ） Adjusting procedure is the same of above adjusting in
opening or closing direction.
After the adjusting is finished, mount the dial, then repeat electric operation to check for 1～2 times.

⑴. Adjustment for closing stopped by torque limit.
① Rotate adjusting screw 4 for closing torque and make the arrow point to “min”;
② Then operate the valve closing by electric drive. If microswitch of torque limit is pressed to act and the valve
stem does not rotate or the valve does not close to seat, it means that the torque value preset is too small. The
setting screw may be adjusted (move a scale towards max) , operate the valve by electric drive once again.
Increase the output torque value gradually in this way until the valve is seated.
⑵ Adjustment for closing by mechanical stopping (Fig. 24)
① Operate the valve by handwheel until it is seated (precise position).
② Adjust the setting screw 4 for closing and make it just touch the project part of output shaft. Then tighten nut 5
and gland nut 7.
③ Increase the output torque value gradually in the same way as described in 1 until the valve is seated.
④ Addition: After the torque limit is set up, if the position of valve needs a little resetting, setting screw may be
reset and torque limit does not need resetting.
⑶ Adjustment for opening stopped by torque limit or mechanical stopping is the same of 1 and 2 for closing.
Instead of adjusting screw and setting screw for closing, adjusting screw for opening on torque limit and setting
screw for opening need adjusting.

8.4 Adjustment of position indicator

For the structure of position indicator, see Fig. 25 and Fig.26
On the dial of indicator, there are three flashing diodes. Among others, the yellow indicates the state, constant
light means auto-operation of actuator (i.e. auto-control with 4~20mA signals); flashing white light means manual
control (electric operating by manual control), i.e. clicking the buttons (red for “open”, green for “close”) on
installation board will make actuator open or close the valve. The red light means motion in “open” direction, the
green light means motion in “close” direction.
Close completely the valve by electric operation or by handwheel.
Rotate the needle and make it point at “close” on the dial.
Open completely the valve by electric operation or by handwheel, remain “close” dial fixed, rotate “open” dial
to the position of needle. After the setting, fix the installation board and tighten fix screws

8.5 Setting of position signals transmitter (BS-2) (see Fig. 27)

From complete open to complete close for valve, the rotation angle
of conductive plastic potentiometer must be comprised between
150º~320º, to guarantee a normal function of the 4~20mA position
signals transmitter.
Put the switch “auto/manual” on installation board to “manual”
position. Press the button (clicking) to drive the valve completely closed.
Or push the lever of manual/motor to manual state and drive the valve
completely closed by handwheel.
Loosen the fix screws in conductive plastic potentiometer, rotate its
axle in close direction to zero position, measure the current between
No.5 and No.6 terminals with a multimeter switched to current
measurement. If the measuring result approaches 4mA, tighten the screw.
(Note: two ends of the conductive plastic potentiometer are without
limit.)
Adjust the potentiometer T1 (ZERO) in the 4~20mA position signals
transmitter, till the output current is 4.1mA. Press the “open”
button (electric operation) to open the valve completely. Adjust the
potentiometer T2 (SPAN) in the 4~20mA position signals transmitter, till
Fig.27 position signal transmitter
the output current is 19.9mA.
As the wiring between the potentiometer and BS-2 in Fig.27, real line is used for ZBT and ZCT(including
DQT), and dash line is used for QBTJ. When there is current output, indicating lamp within the tramsmitter
lights, and the brightness incteases along with the current increment.

8.6 Setting of dead zone and motion forbidden time

The setting of dead zone means: user will set
dead zone and adjust potentiometer according his own
requirements, the clockwise direction for increase of dead zone.
The adjusting range is 1%~12.5%, the defaulting range is 5%.
User can adjust motion forbidden time potentiometer
according to his own requirements, the clockwise direction for
increase of motion forbidden time. The adjusting range is 2~25
seconds, the defaulting range is 5 seconds.

8.7 Preparations for operation

At first input 4~20mA current control signals, then put the
auto/manual switch on installation board to auto
state, and turn on the power supply at last to make the
actuator run. Fig.28 MCU control module

 9. TROUBLE SHOOTING
9.1. When turning on the power supply, the circuit breaker trips. Measure the power output ends of the solid-state
relay (SSR) with on off range of a universal meter. If it is a short circuit, the solid-state relay is burnt. The
solid-state relay must be replaced with a new one.
9.2. When the power supply is turned on, if the yellow lamp of mode indicating “HY” on position indicator does
not light, and all lamps on transmitter BS-2 of 4~20 mA do not light. Measure the voltage between Terminals J3-1
and J3-2 on MCU digital control module with a universal meter. If the voltage is 220 V AC, the module is damaged,
it shall be replaced. If there is no voltage between them, please check if the thermal protector in the motor or the
fuse is conducting.
9.3. When the actuator is in automatic status and there is control signal input of 4~20 Ma, the actuator is not able to
modulate valve position according to control signal. Check and remove the trouble as following:
9.3.1 Measure and confirm that current control signal has been inputted the actuator.
9.3.2 If lamps on transmitter BS-2 of 4~20 mA do not light, the transmitter is in trouble. Check the wiring or
replace it.
9.3.3 Check if the axis of the conductive plastic potentiometer is rotatable. If it is not rotatable, then check if
corresponding mechanism drive is normal; if it is rotatable and the output current is constant, then the conductive
plastic potentiometer or transmitter BS-2 is damaged. Replace it.
9.4. If the responding is not sensitive; the deadband is too wide or the time of action forbidden is too long. Then the
deadband or the time of action forbidden needs readjusting.
9.5. When the phase sequence is correct and the actuator is in electrical operation with manual control mode, if
press the “open” (“close”) button and no action responds; and press “close” (“open”) button, the click mode is
changed into self-hold, then travel switch or torque switch in “open” (“close”) direction may be failed. Check and
replace it.
9.6. When the valve is in remote control mode, i.e. the yellow lamp lights steadily, the valve is not able to receive
4~20 mA DC signal from DCS, check if Terminal 7(+) and Terminal 8(-) on terminal block is connected reversely.
If the connection is correct, then the A/D convertor may be damaged. It is necessary to replace the MCU digital
control module.

10. CAUTIONS
10.1 Prevent the glass of window for valve position from any collision with hard things.
10.2 Before installation, the electric actuator must be deposited indoor in a clean and dry environment. If it is
deposited outdoor, it must be lifted off earth with a certain height and be shielded from rainwater.
10.3 weather. Before the electric box is opened, the power supply must be turned off. When it is remounted, the
cover must be tightened close.
10.4 Before manual operation, pull (or push) the lever of motor/manual clutch in the arrow direction. If it could
not be pushed down, rotate the handwheel while pushing. After the lever is pushed to manual position, the actuator
can be manually operated. The rotation of handwheel shall be the same of output shaft. Facing to handwheel, the
clockwise rotation of handwheel is “close” generally, and the counterclockwise is “open”. While electric operating,
the lever will turn back to original position automatically, do not turn it back by hand.
10.5 The housing is filled with semi-fluid gear grease for special purpose. Lubrication must be examined once a
year at least, if there is not any abnormity, it can be put into operation all the same. Otherwise, it should be replaced
or supplemented. The metal bellows are filled with 50# mechanic oil for lubrication; the oil must be replaced every
two years by user.
10.6 In general, clockwise rotation of output shaft of actuator makes valve close and counter-clockwise rotation
makes valve open (viewing downright). If it rotates reversely (i.e. clockwise rotation of output shaft of actuator
makes open and counter-clockwise rotation makes valve close, colloquially named reverse actuator), the combining
of DQYJ in Fig. 11, “open” and “close” on sector plate in Fig. 23, “open” and “close” on position indicating dial in
Fig. 26, wiring between the potentiometer and the BS-2 is different from this operation instruction. Please refer to
the real object and this instruction is not subject to change.
10.7 After maintenance and reassembling, it must be reset. After disassembling and reassembling, the sealing
elements must be checked carefully. Damaged elements must be replaced in time, and the sealed locations must be
tightened close.
10.8 The actuator of ZBTZ must be vertically installed. When it is put into operation, the plug of gas vent must be
removed.

 11. ORDERING
11.1 The service environment of the electric actuator must conform to specification.
11.2 Fill in the ordering form with connection size, diameter of stem and maximum extruding length. If the
connection size is not consistent with this instruction manual, please consult us for ordering.
11.3 Users can choose the specification of electric actuator by themselves. If there is any trouble, we can choose
for user as well.
11.4 The clockwise rotation of handwheel makes valve close. For reverse rotation, it must be declared in order
list.
11.5 The 4~20mA valve position signals transmitter is generally provided with 4mA for complete close, and
20mA for complete open. If 4mA for complete open, and 20mA for complete close and other requirements, it
must be declared in order list.
11.6 When the electric actuator is connected to power and has not received any 4~20mA set signals from control
system, the electric actuator may be in one of the three motion modes: complete open, complete close or
remaining in original position. User can choose one of the three modes according to application requirements of
his control system, and it must be declared in order list. Standard mode is remaining in original position
