Introduction
This manual is designed to allow a qualified user to install, commission and maintain Paladon
Systems Ltd PNS, PND and PNC Series valve actuators. This manual should be used in
conjunction with any additional documentation supplied at the time of shipping. Current
versions
of
all
Paladon
Systems
Ltd
documentation
are
available
from
www.paladonsystems.com.
It is the users responsibility to ensure that all applicable Health and Safety Legislation is
followed when undertaking any service work. This manual is not designed to supersede or
replace any users plant safety or work procedures; in the event of any conflict, please contact
Paladon Systems Ltd or an authorised distributor.

Storage Requirements
3.1
Short-Term Storage
Check that all pneumatic and electrical connections are suitably sealed to prevent
any environmental ingress.
For any actuator not yet assembled to a valve, place actuator on a wooden pallet to
prevent any damage to the valve coupling flange.
3.2
Long-Term Storage
In addition to the short-term storage requirements detailed above, for long-term storage
the following should be undertaken:
4.
Protect the coupling parts (stem adaptor and coupling joint, coupling flange etc) with
grease or protective oil.
Keep actuators dry and protected against the direct action of weather elements.
Stroke the actuator and ensure all pneumatic and electrical connections are properly
sealed after.
Actuator Overview
PNS, PND and PNC Series pneumatic valve actuators are suitable for use with quarter-turn
valves or mechanisms, and have been designed to provide years of efficient and reliable
operation in heavy-duty applications.
The main components of PNS, PND and PNC Series valve actuators are:

4.1
Standard Components
4.1.1
Frame
The frame contains the scotch-yoke mechanism which converts the linear
movement of the pneumatic piston into a quarter-turn rotary movement. To
protect personnel from injury and the scotch-yoke mechanism from corrosion,
the frame is a fully enclosed carbon steel fabricated construction. To support the
transverse forces generated by scotch-yoke mechanisms, and to ensure correct
alignment of the piston rod, sliding blocks and yoke bushing, the body also
contains a chromium plated guide bar.
4.1.2
Pneumatic Cylinder
Contains the pneumatic piston, which generates the linear movement which is
converted into a quarter-turn rotary movement by the scotch yoke mechanism
housed in the actuators frame.
4.1.3
Optional Components
4.2.1
Spring Cylinder
Supplied with all spring-return PNS, PND and PNC Series valve actuators, the
spring cylinder comprises of a scragged pre-compressed spring contained within
a fully welded carbon steel container. WARNING! The spring cylinder is nonserviceable; any attempt to disassemble it may result in serious injury or
death.
4.2.2
Manual Override
There are two types of manual override mechanisms which can be provided;
Jackscrew or Hydraulic Handpump. Jackscrew type manual overrides comprise
of a handwheel and jackscrew to create a linear motion, which is converted to a
rotary motion via the scotch-yoke mechanism. Hydraulic handpump manual
overrides comprise of a hydraulic cylinder and handpump to create a linear
motion, which is converted to a rotary motion via the scotch-yoke mechanism.

Tool Requirements
No special tools are required for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of Paladon
Systems Ltd actuators.
7.
Valve/Actuator Mounting
Paladon Systems Ltd actuators can be mounted in any orientation; however, it is common
industry practice to align the centreline of the actuators pneumatic cylinder with that of the
valve pipework. NOTE: Certain control components require mounting in a specific
orientation with respect to gravity in order to function correctly.
To assemble the actuator to the valve:
Doc
:
Issued :
7.1
Check that the coupling dimensions of the actuator are suitable for those of the
valve flange and stem.
7.2
Move the valve to the open or closed position to match the rest position of the
actuator.

7.3
Thoroughly clean all mounting flanges, taking special care to ensure that all
grease is removed.
7.4
To assist with assembly, lubricate the valve stem with suitable oil or grease.
7.5
Lift the actuator by its lifting eyes and, if possible, ensure that the valve stem is in
the vertical position. NOTE: Do not lift the actuator using slings around the
actuators hydraulic or spring cylinders; doing so may result in damage.
7.6
If valve mounting is via a stem adapter and coupling joint (supplied loose),
assemble the coupling joint to the valve stem before proceeding further.
7.7
Lower the actuator onto the valve so that the valve stem slips in the actuators
yoke. Fasten the actuator to the valve by means of stud bolts, which are
screwed into the valves coupling flange.
7.8
Tighten the nuts to the stud bolts in accordance with the following torques:

Stroke the actuator to ensure smooth and full opening and closing of the valve.
The precise valve open and closed positions are set using the end stop screws. NOTE:
Certain valves incorporate their own end stops. For these types of valves, it is
recommended that the valve's end stops be adjusted to their maximum travel so that the
valves end positions are achieved using the actuators end stop screws only.
To adjust the open and closed valve positions:
Doc
:
Issued :
8.1
8.2
Move the actuator yoke away from the applicable end stop screw.
8.3
Screw the applicable end stop screw to reduce the actuators angular stroke,
unscrew to increase it.
8.4
Move the actuator yoke towards the applicable end stop screw.

8.5
Check valve position and repeat steps 2 to 4 until desired valve position is
reached.
8.6
8.7
Repeat steps 8.2 to 8.6 for the remaining end stop screw.
Prior to connecting the pneumatic supply line(s), check that all pipes and fittings
are in accordance with the plant specifications.
9.2
Check that all pneumatic supply lines are free of any contaminants or debris, and
that they are suitably supported to minimise any stress caused by vibration.
9.3
9.4
Check fasteners for any leaks, and ensure that they are sufficiently tightened to
avoid the chance of becoming loose due to any vibrations created during
operation.
For installations in hazardous areas, ensure all electrical fittings have the correct
hazardous area certification.
9.6
Ensure that the actuators and any control components are suitably protected
against lightning strikes, electrical surges and spikes; and any magnetic fields.
Actuator Stroking
9.7
10.
Stroke the actuator to check that smooth and continuous operation is achieved.
In the event of uneven stroking, or stroking speeds below those detailed on the
test certificate; first check to ensure correct pneumatic supply pressure and flow
rate. Further fault finding procedures can be found in Section 16.

Maintenance
11.1
All Paladon Systems Ltd actuators have been designed to provide long service
with minimum maintenance; however, a preventative maintenance program is
recommended.
Preventative maintenance programs not only help avoid
unanticipated and costly down time, but also typically reduce the overall cost of
ownership.
11.2
It is the users responsibility to ensure that all applicable health and safety
legislation is followed when undertaking any maintenance work.
