Actuator status indication
The actuator microprocessor carries out a diagnostic when a failure is detected. The
actuator status is indicated by the LED. When the microprocessor detects that the
stem has come to an unexpected stop, it initiates a retry cycle. This is repeated three
times and if unsuccessful the actuator status switches to fault mode, indicated by a
blinking yellow LED.
If the problem is cleared during the retry cycles, the actuator will continue its normal
function.

* If the sticking cause is removed, the actuator can be taken out of the temporary fault
mode by pressing the calibration button for at least 5 seconds.
** The LED changes to green when the temperature returns to an acceptable
temperature value.

The auxiliary switches can be adjusted by means of the two cams.
WARNING: Ensure that auxiliary switches S1 and S2 are not connected
to different voltages.
(S1 230 V and S2 24 V NO!, S1 230 V and S2 230 V OK!).
Safety Warnings
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock.
Disconnect the power supply before making electrical connections to
avoid electric shock.
WARNING: To prevent from electrical shock or damage to equipment,
the utmost care should be taken when the cover is removed (authorized
personnel only) for adjustments or check out. In all other cases when the
cover is removed, the power should be switched off.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in accordance with local, national, and
regional regulations. Do not exceed the electrical ratings of the actuator.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all wiring connections.
Short circuited or improperly connected wires may result in permanent
damage to the equipment.
•
Do not repair or replace a damaged cable. Contact the nearest Johnson Controls
commercial system wholesaler.
•
Do not open the actuator, other than to access the auxiliary switches or feedback
settings.
Check out procedure
Before leaving the installation, observe at least three complete operating cycles to be
sure that all components are functioning correctly. If not, please contact your supplier.
