Assembly, operation, commissioning Operation instructions
Read operation instructions first.
Only operate the device if it is in perfect condition while observing these instruc-
tions.
Immediately report any faults and damage and allow for corrective measures.
During operation, the device warms up and increased surface temperature may
occur. To prevent possible burns, we recommend checking the surface tempe-
rature using an appropriate thermometer and wearing protective gloves, if re-
quired, prior to working on the device.
Protective measures The end user or the contractor are responsible for implementing required protective
measures on site, such as enclosures, barriers, or personal protective equipment
for the staff.
Maintenance To ensure safe device operation, the maintenance instructions included in this manual
must be observed.
Any device modification requires prior consent of the manufacturer.
1.2 Range of application
AUMA part-turn gearboxes are designed for the operation of industrial valves, e.g.
butterfly valves and ball valves.
Other applications require explicit (written) confirmation by the manufacturer.
The following applications are not permitted, e.g.:
Escalators
Continuous duty
If the gearbox is equipped with a pointer cover: Check whether the mark aligns
with the symbol CLOSED. Refer to <Mechanical position indicator: set>.
If the gearbox is mounted to a multi-turn actuator, set the seating in end position
CLOSED straight after completion of the current setting position: <Seating in
end positions via multi-turn actuator>.
6.1.2 End stop OPEN: set
Figure 9: End stop
[1] Screws
[2] End stop
[3] Housing
1. Remove the four screws [1] at end stop [2].
No overload protection at valve for unfastened end stop!
In motor operation: Stop travel on time before reaching the valve end position
(consider overrun).
The last part of the travel must be in manual operation mode.
2. Turn valve via handwheel in position OPEN. Check whether end stop [2] rotates
simultaneously.
Otherwise: Turn end stop [2] counterclockwise to the stop.
3. Turn end stop [2] clockwise by 1/4 turn.
This ensures that the gearbox end stop cannot be approached during motor
operation if a multi-turn actuator is mounted and that the valve can close tightly
for torque seating.
4. In case the four holes of the end stop [2] do not match the four threaded bores
within the housing [3]: Remove end stop [2] until it disengages from the toothing
and replace in correct position.
5. Fasten screws [1] (M24) crosswise at a torque of 730 Nm.
Further settings hereafter:
If the gearbox is equipped with a pointer cover: Check whether the mark aligns
with the symbol OPEN. Refer to <Mechanical position indicator: set>.
If the gearbox is mounted to a multi-turn actuator, set the seating in end position
OPEN straight after completion of the current setting position: <Seating in end
positions via multi-turn actuator>.
6.2 Seating in end positions via multi-turn actuator
Important information regarding setting:
End position seating must be set in compliance with the operating instructions
pertaining to the multi-turn actuator.
This chapter supplies basic information and notes which should be considered in
addition to the operation instructions of the multi-turn actuator.

GS 630.3
Commissioning
The valve manufacturer has to determine whether the valve is limit or torque
seated.
For limit seating, determine overrun, i.e. how much does the valve move after
the motor has been switched off?
For torque seating, the maximum permissible input torque of the gearbox must
not be exceeded for neither direction. Set the torque switching within the multi-
turn actuator to the following value to prevent damage to the valve:
T torque switch = T valve/factor (refer to name plate)
If the swing angle set in the factory for opening and closing the valve is not
sufficient: refer to <Swing angle>.
6.2.1 Seating in the end position CLOSED: set
1. Move valve to end position CLOSED.
Information: The last part of the travel must be in manual operation mode!
2. For limit seating in end position CLOSED:
2.1 Turn back the valve from the valve end position by an amount equal to
the overrun.
2.2 Set limit switching for the end position CLOSED according to the operation
instructions for the multi-turn actuator.
3. For torque seating in end position CLOSED:
3.1 Gearbox without primary reduction gearing: Turn handwheel in the oppo-
site direction of the valve end position by approx. 40 turns.
3.2 Gearbox with primary reduction gearing GZ: Turn handwheel in the oppo-
site direction of the valve end position by approx. 70 turns.
3.3 Check torque switching for end position CLOSED according to operation
instructions for multi-turn actuator and, if necessary, set to required value.
3.4 Set limit switching for signalling end position CLOSED according to opera-
tion instructions for multi-turn actuator.
6.2.2 Seating in end position OPEN: set
1. Move valve to end position OPEN.
Information: The last part of the travel must be in manual operation mode!
2. For limit seating in end position OPEN:
2.1 Turn back the valve from the valve end position by an amount equal to
the overrun.
2.2 Set limit switching for end position OPEN according to the operation in-
structions for the multi-turn actuator.
3. For torque seating in end position OPEN:
3.1 Gearbox without primary reduction gearing: Turn handwheel in the oppo-
site direction of the valve end position by approx. 40 turns.
3.2 Gearbox with primary reduction gearing GZ: Turn handwheel in the oppo-
site direction of the valve end position by approx. 70 turns.
3.3 Check torque switching for end position OPEN according to operation in-
structions for multi-turn actuator and, if necessary, set to required value.
3.4 Set limit switching for signalling end position OPEN according to operation
instructions for multi-turn actuator.
6.3 Swing angle
The swing angle must only be changed if the swivel range for end stop setting is not
sufficient.
The swing angle set in the factory is indicated on the name plate.
17
GS 630.3
Commissioning
In the standard version, the swing angle can be adjusted within the range of 80to
100at an accuracy of 0.057.
Option: multi-turn, without end stop, thus no protective function available for the
gearbox.
6.3.1 Swing angle: modify
The adjustment is made in end position OPEN.

tion OPEN must be set first in compliance with the operation instructions of the
multi-turn actuator.

7. Servicing and maintenance
Damage caused by inappropriate maintenance!
Servicing and maintenance must be carried out exclusively by suitably qualified
personnel having been authorised by the end user or the contractor of the plant.
Therefore, we recommend contacting our service.
Only perform servicing and maintenance tasks when the device is switched off.
AUMA
Service & Support
AUMA offer extensive service such as servicing and maintenance as well as customer
product training. For the relevant contact addresses, please refer to <Addresses>
in this document or to the Internet (www.auma.com).
7.1 Preventive measures for servicing and safe operation
The following measures are required to ensure safe device operation:
These measures are based on the assumption that the unit is operated on an average
less than 10 times per year.
Every 6 months after commissioning and then once a year
Perform visual inspection for grease leakage and paint damage (corrosion).
Check gearbox.
In case of ingress of water, locate leaks and repair. Dry device correctly and
check for proper function.
7.2 Maintenance intervals
Recommendation for grease change and seal replacement:
The technical data as well as the ambient temperatures, type of duty and running
times indicated on the name plate must imperatively be observed.
The pointer cover with indicator glass (option) is only approved for use in poten-
tially explosive atmospheres according to ATEX II2G c IIB T4 or T3.
