Actuator SQM40.../SQM41...

Actuators for air and gas SQM40...

dampers SQM41...

 Electromotoric actuator up to 10 Nm
 Clockwise and counterclockwise variants
 Running times from 15 and 30 seconds
 Various shaft ends available
 Electronic version with analog control input
 Internal position indication
 Drive shaft can be disengaged
 UL approval

The SQM40.../SQM41… and this Data Sheet are intended for use by OEMs which
integrate the actuators in their products!

Use
The SQM40.../SQM41... actuators are suited for driving flow control valves, butterfly
valves, dampers or for use on other applications that require rotary motion.
Areas of application are oil and gas burners of medium to higher capacity as well as
thermal process plants.

The actuators are used primarily for load-dependent control of the flow of gas, oil and
combustion air:
 In connection with 3-position or modulating controllers (e.g. 4...20 mA), or
 Directly by burner controls

Warning notes
To avoid injury to persons, damage to property or the environment, the following
warning notes must be observed!

Only qualified personnel may open, interfere with or modify the actuators!

 Read the documentation on the actuators carefully and fully. If not observed,
dangerous situations might occur
 All product-related activities (mounting, settings and maintenance) must be
performed by qualified and authorized personnel
Caution!
 Risk of electric shock hazard – to disconnect the actuator from power, it may be
necessary to open more than one switch. Before performing maintenance work,
the actuator must be disconnected from power
 The electrical connection between the conduit fittings is not made automatically.
It must be established on installation site
 The connecting plate is made of plastic and does not provide earthing of the
conduit fittings. Earthing must be ensured by adequate washers and wire links
 To provide protection against electric shock hazard, the connecting terminals must
have adequate touch protection. Make certain that non-insulated connections or
wires cannot be touched
 Each time work has been carried out (mounting, installation, service work, etc.),
check to ensure that wiring is in an orderly state
 Fall or shock can adversely affect the safety functions. Such actuators must not be
put into operation even if they do not exhibit any damage
 Static charges must be avoided since they can damage the actuator’s electronic
components when touched.
Recommendation: Use ESD equipment

Notes on use in North America

 Use of flexible conduit including adequate accessories is mandatory
 Use of copper wiring is mandatory
 All circuits of class 2 must use cables type CL3, CL3R, CL3P or comparable types,
OR
All circuits are wired according to class 1 (electrical light or power circuits)

Mounting notes
 Ensure that the relevant national safety regulations and notes on standards are
complied with
 In geographical areas where DIN regulations apply, the mounting and installation
requirements of VDE must be satisfied, especially DIN/VDE 0100, 0550 and
DIN/VDE 0722
 Make certain that the actuator is not exposed to direct solar radiation
 Required tightening torques:
- Cover screws: 3.5 Nm
- Connecting cover: 2 Nm

Installation notes
 Ensure that the electrical wiring is in compliance with national and local safety
regulation
 Make certain that strain relief of the connected cables conforms to the relevant
standards (e.g. as per DIN EN 60730 and DIN EN 60335)
 Ensure that spliced wires cannot get into contact with neighboring terminals. Use
adequate ferrules
 Unused terminals of the SQM40.../SQM41... must be covered by dummy plugs
 When making the wiring, the AC 120 V or AC 230 V section must be strictly
separated from other voltage sections, thus ensuring protection against electric
shock hazard
 The mechanical coupling between actuators and controlling elements must be form-
fitted

Electrical connection of the SQM40.../SQM41...
 The actuators must always be powered via a prefuse of max. 6,3 AT
(as per DIN EN 60127 2/5)
 For the protective earth connection, the housing of all models has a marked earth
terminal

Settings of the SQM40.../SQM41...
The mechanical setting facility for the cam switches is physically separated from the
connection terminals. When the actuator is disconnected from power, the switches can
be adjusted via a scale. The switching points can be changed via adjusting screws. The
scale indicates the angles of the switching points.

Range adjustment Adjust the range of the analog signal to match the switch positions (min. and max.
position):

1. Set cam I to the required high-fire position (e.g. 85°; position is indicated on the scale
next to the cam).
2. Set cam V to the required low-fire position (e.g. 20°).
3. Preset the signal at the analog input according to the required high-fire position
(e.g. 20 mA).
4. Turn the potentiometer for maximum angular rotation
a) clockwise, if the actuator has not yet reached its maximum angular rotation, or
b) counterclockwise until the actuator starts
5. Preset the signal at the analog input according to the low-fire position (e.g. 4 mA).
6. Turn the potentiometer for minimum angular rotation
a) counterclockwise, if the actuator has not yet reached its minimum angular
rotation, or
b) clockwise until the actuator starts

Modulation always takes place between high- and low-fire.

Also, it is possible to define a closed position or a separate ignition position by setting

cam VI (independent of cam V, e.g. for defining a position higher than the low-fire
position).
