14. 60Hz actuator motors may be run on 50 Hz supply. However, the
cycle time increases by 1.2 times and the duty cycle decreases by a
factor of approximately 25%. The rated torque does not change.
Manual Override
The principle of the design is such that when the manual override shaft
is in the up position, the shaft is disconnected from the drive train.
When the shaft is in the down position it does two things. One, the shaft
trips a switch to disconnect the power to the motor and two, it releases
the brake. By releasing the brake the motor can back drive along with
the output. For 90 degree operation, the 250 in-lbs unit requires 1.6; the
700 in-lbs unit requires 3.1; the 1000 in-lbs unit requires 4.2; and 1500
in-lbs unit requires 6.3.

Caution: Turn manual override shaft slowly. DO NOT jerk.
Manual Operation
1. The actuator cover should be securely attached.
2. Depress hub toward actuator cover.
3. Rotate the manual override shaft slowly; do not force.
4. The motor is now electrically disconnected.
5. Turn the manual override shaft clockwise for clockwise output.
6. Do not rotate actuator past full clockwise or counter-clockwise
position.
Automatic Operation
1. Pull hub away from the actuator cover.
2. The motor is now electrically connected and ready for automatic
operation.
3. The manual override shaft will freewheel.
Position Indication Stickers
Attached to the inside of the cover is a set of stickers with the words
“CLOSED” and “OPEN”. These stickers are to be attached to the outside
of the actuator near the base between the mounting feet. The stickers
have an orange triangle on them, such that when properly attached
to the actuator, they will line up with the triangle on the output shaft.
A sticker can be placed on either side of the unit to produce a visual
indication of the opened and closed position of the actuator.
