4.0 Description
4.1 Scope of Applications
These servo controlled valves are suitable for controlling the flow of liquids, gases and vapours in
chemical and other processing plants and for plant engineering.
The materials have been selected and matched on the basis of current DIN, AD, TRD and UVV rules.
The mechanical and flow characteristics conform to standard DIN EN 60534.
The engineer planning a plant is responsible for selecting the correct valve for a given application. The
special features of the valve concerned must be taken into account.
Oil and grease free
for oxygen application
- Valves for oxygen application (O2) have a fixed plate.
- Valves for Ammonia (NH3) acc. to TRD 451-452 must be free from nonferrous metals
with flanges DIN 2512 form N.
- ARI-Valves of GG-25 are not allowed in systems acc. to TRD 110.
- Valves for inflammable, aggressive or toxic media, must be off tensile material.
- With applications for media that demand special criteria, please consult.
-
-marking for applications acc. to Pressure Equipment Directive.
4.2 Operating Principles

ARI servo controlled valves are especially suitable for actuation by pneumatic or electrical actuators.
Depending on the mode of operation, two different execution methods are possible:
1. Execution with mixing plug
2. Execution with diverting plug
The execution with the mixing plug is the standard execution method .
This execution method is to be chosen when the valve is also employed as a mixer ( 2 entrances, 1 exit.)
In exceptional cases, the execution with the mixing plug can also be employed as a diverting plug
(1 entrance, 2 exits). This requires, however, low differential pressures and stable propulsion.
The execution method with the diverting plug is only to be employed with the operation of diverting.

5.0 Installation
5.1 General Notes on Installation
The following points should be taken into account besides the general principles governing installation
work:
- Remove flange covers if present.
- There must be no foreign bodies inside the valve or piping.
- Pay attention to the direction of flow: see markings on the valve and refer to the operation and
installation instructions (point 4.2).
- Centre sealings between the flanges.
- Connection flanges must mate exactly.
- If the valve is handling steam, the piping must be laid with a gradient to prevent water from
accumulating in pockets. Condensation traps are needed to prevent water-hammer.
- All parts must be free from stress after installation.
- The valve must not serve as a fixed point. It must be carried by the piping.
- Protect the valve from dirt, especially during construction work. Strainers or filters shoud be installed
before the valves.
- Install compensators to compensate for thermal expansion of the piping.
- Keep the thread and shaft of the spindle free from paint.
5.2 Requirements at the Place of Installation

The place of installation should be easily accessible and provide ample space for maintenance and
removing the actuator. Stopvalves shoud be installed before and after the controlvalve to enable
maintenance working without draining the piping system. The valve should preferably installed
vertically with the actuator at the top. Inclined or horizontal installation without supports is permissible
only with light actuators.
For this installallation position, the two distance columns (or joke) have to be above each other in the
verical plane.
Pipeline
Pipeline
horizontally
vertically
Permissible servo weights for valves with unsupported horizontal spindles:

20 kg for DN 15 - 32
25 kg for DN 40 - 65
35 kg for DN 80-100
40 kg for DN 125-150
The pipes must be lagged to protect the actuators from excessive heat. Sufficient space must be left for
the maintenance of the spindle packing.
To ensure that the control valves function correctly, the pipe run should be straight for at least 2 x DN
upstream and 6 x DN downstream of the valve.
page 6
0040000093 4000

5.3 Installation Instructions Concerning Actuators
Normally, control valves are supplied complete with actuator fitted.
It is not permitted to mantle / dismantle actuators with valves operating at service conditions
(temperature and pressure) (see2.3). The actuators must be assembled as describe in the operating
instructions during conversion and maintenance.
During assembly work, the plug is not be turned on its seatring at closing pressure.
Caution!
Care must be taken with the bellow type valves when actuators are mounted or removed. Hold the valvespindle against turning with an open-end wrench.
When retrofitting actuators, the maximum permissible force for valve actuation must be taken into
account.
The maximum permissible actuation forces are:
BR450
BR451
12 kN for DN 15 - 50
18 kN for DN 15 - 100
29 kN for DN 65 - 100
37 kN for DN 125 - 150
40 kN for DN 125 - 150
6.0 Notes on Dangers During Installation, Operation and Maintenance

DANGER !
Operation can be completely safe only if the valve is properly installed, put into operation and
maintained by trained personnel (cf. point 2.3 Qualified personnel) paying full attention to the
warnings in these operating instructions. In addition, the general installation and safety rules for piping
and plant installation must be observed, and appropriate tools and safety equipment are to be used. Strict
attention must be paid to the operating instructions during all work on the valve and when handling it.
Injury or damage can be caused by ignoring them.
When used as an end-blockage, a safety precaution is recommended by maintenance works.
7.0 Putting the Valve into Operation

- Before putting the valve into operation, check that the material, pressure, temperature and direction of
flow are as specified with the plans of the piping system.
- Regard the TRB 700.
- Residues in piping and valves (dirt, weld beads, etc.) inevitably lead to leakage.
DANGER !
Before putting a new plant into operation or restarting a plant after repairs or modification, always make
sure that:
- all installation and assembly work has been completed!
- only qualfied personnel (see point 2.3) are employed to start the plant!
- the valve is in the correct position for its function!
- existing guards have been attached and in good order.
8.0 Care and Maintenance

Maintenance and maintenanceintervals have to be defined by the operator according to the service
conditions (see TRB 700).

4.0 Description
4.1 Field of application
ARI-PREMIO linear thrust actuators are employed to actuate control or shut-off valves requiring a
nominal linear stroke distance of up to 80 mm and thrust from 2.2 kN to 15 kN. The thrust actuators
are set to the thrust forces specified in the technical data. If supplied with the valve, the lift of the
thrust actuator will be set to the stroke distance of the valve.
Selection of the proper actuator version in alignment with the corresponding fitting as well as use of
the thrust actuator in accordance with the specified technical data is the responsibility of the systems
engineer.
Any use of the thrust actuator beyond the specified technical data or improper use of the actuator is
deemed to be not for the intended purpose.
The ambient conditions have to be conform to the actual electromagnetic compatibility directives.
Additional the compatibility to this directives has to be maintained in case of expansion or other
changing of the ambient conditions.
4.2 Method of functioning

The thrust actuator, fitted with a yoke or columns, is mounted to the valve.
Transfer of force is effected via a coupling safeguarded against torsion.
The torsion safeguarding feature also serves as a lift indicator.
The lift settings can be read off on a lift dial attached to the yoke or between the 2-ear clamps
mounted to the column.
The electrical components are accommodated separately from the gearbox underneath a sealed hood,
thus being protected against operating and environmental effects.
Following removal of the hood, easy access is provided to the switchgear and indicating feature.
The rotary motion of the motor is transmitted to the spindle nut by means of spur gear.
The drive spindle, which is safeguarded against torsion, screws its way into the spindle nut and thus
performs a pull or push motion depending on the sense of rotation.
In the final positions of the valve, the spindle nut is pressed against a set of springs so as to produce
closing force.
The motor is switched off by means of two load-dependent switches and one stroke-dependent
switch. The load-dependent switches will also switch off the motor if foreign bodies have lodged
themselves between the valve seat and cone.
The load-dependent switches serve to protect the valve and thrust actuator against damage.

6.2 Manual operation

6.2.1 ARI-PREMIO 2.2 - 5 kN
With the motor in the stationary state, the thrust actuator can be run in the open and closed state with
the handwheel firmly meshed with the gear.
Proceed as follows:
- Swing out lever (50.12.1) from handwheel (50.12).
- Turning in clockwise direction--> closes valve.
- Turning in counter-clockwise direction--> opens valve.
CAUTION !
In the manual operating mode pay careful attention in the final positions that the handwheel is
only turned to the point where the torque switch trips (audible click) as otherwise damage will
be caused to the thrust actuator! Since the handwheel always follows during motor-driven
operation (running indication), never operate by hand while the motor is running - potential
injury hazards!!!

DANGER!!!
The processes of mains connection and putting the thrust actuator into service call for
specialised knowledge of power installation erection (VDE 0100), knowledge of regulations for
the prevention of accidents and the specific conditions for putting this thrust actuator into
service. Such work may only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel in accordance with
section 2.3 "Qualified Personnel". The supply line for connecting up the thrust actuator must
be in the dead state i.e. disconnected from the mains while connection work is being carried
out. After being disconnected, the mains power must be prevented from being switched back
on again accidentally.
Failure to observe these instructions may lead to death, grievous bodily injury or substantial
property damage!
6.4.3 Connection
To connect the thrust actuator up to the electrical power supply, proceed as follows:
- Run the thrust actuator a few mm out of the lower final position applying the manual mode.
- Loosen countersunk screw in hood, carefully remove hood in upward direction.
- Screw out one of the two cable inlets and re-assemble in the same way without the supplied blank
flange.
- Insert the connection line through this cable inlet until sufficient conductor length is available up to
the corresponding terminals; then tighten the cable inlet until the connecting cable is clamped in
place inside it.
- Strip connecting cable approx. 1-1.5cm above cable inlet.
- Strip the individual conductors approx. 5mm away from the end and fit with conductor end sleeves.
- Connect protective conductor of connecting cable up to protective conductor terminal of thrust
actuator.
- Connect neutral N/MP conductor of connecting cable up to terminal 1/N of thrust-actuator terminal
strip.

6.5 Settings
DANGER !!!
The thrust actuator may only be operated for a short time without the hood for unavoidable
setting operations to the potentiometers, travel switches and the electrical options. While these
operations are in progress, the thrust actuator has hazardous, live, uninsulated parts exposed
as well as moving and rotating parts. Improper execution of the setting operations or lack of
care may cause death, grievous bodily injury or substantial property damage. Only suitably
qualified personnel must be allowed to perform these operations (refer to section 2.3
"Qualified Personnel") . Operation of the thrust actuator without the hood for any purpose
other than that described above is strictly prohibited.
6.5.1 Torque and travel switches - standard feature
As standard, thrust actuators are equipped with a load-dependent travel switch for the closing
direction (S1), a load-dependent travel switch for the opening direction (S2) and a stroke-dependent
travel switch for the opening direction (S3).
The load-dependent travel switches (S1, S2) switch off the motor as soon as the factory-set thrust
force is attained.
NOTE: The settings of the load-dependent travel switches must on no account
whatsoever be changed!
The stroke-dependent travel switch (S3) switches off the motor as soon as the lift or stroke is
attained. If the thrust actuator is supplied on a straight-way valve, the stroke-dependent travel switch
S3 is set in such a way that the motor of the thrust actuator is switched off as soon as the maximum
valve-lift is attained.
If the thrust actuator is supplied on a three-way valve, the trip cam belonging to travel switch S3 is
set in the opening direction in the trip slide to such a downward extent that the upper final position of
the valve is attained prior to travel switch S3 being reached, thus causing the load-dependent travel
switch S2 to switch off the motor.
For this function, all three switches reveal interlock-controlled circuitry on the board.
If the standard travel switches are to be integrated directly into the facility control system, the
standard board can be replaced by optional boards PA or NA (only 2.2 - 5 kN).
6.5.2 Connection boards PA or NA (only 2.2 - 5 kN)
On connection boards PA or NA, the standard travel switches S11/S21, S12/S22 and S13/S23 do not
reveal interlock-controlled circuitry and can be integrated individually into the facility control
system.
The 3 contacts on each of the switches S11/S21, S12/S22 and S13/S23, designed as double-throw
contacts, are - in the case of these boards - brought out on terminals 40-48 and can be freely
connected.
The switches on the PA optional board (standard-voltage connection board) are designed for
switching capacities of up to 10A, 250V AC.
The switches on the NA optional board (low-voltage connection board) are designed for switching
capacities of up to 0.1A, 4-30V (gold contacts).
The optional boards may only be installed at the factory due to the switching points of the loaddependent switches having to be reset following installation of these boards!
page 22
0040000107 2402

CAUTION !
When using optional boards PA or NA, it must be warranted - due to the operators individual
circuitry- that, when switching the load-dependent travel switches S11/21, S12/S22 and S13/
S23 the motor of the thrust actuator comes to a standstill without delay.
This function is not provided for on the optional boards PA and NA in the supplied state!
6.5.3 Travel switch
The thrust actuators can be equipped with an additional stroke-switch board containing two travel
switches (double-throw contact S4 and S5).
These switches can be set on infinitely variable lines over the entire stroke distance in both lift
directions and integrated at will into the facility control system (no interlock-controlled circuitry).
The maximum switching capacity of the switches (refer to section 4.3 Technical Data) must not be
exceeded.
For low voltage (refer to section 4.3 Technical Data), the additional travel switches are supplied with
gold contacts (option: low-voltage travel switch).
6.5.3.1 Installation of additional travel switches
To install additional travel switches, proceed as follows.
- Switch off mains voltage and safeguard to prevent it from being switched back on again
accidentally.
- Loosen countersunk screw in hood, carefully remove hood.
- Disconnect motor plug and mains connection plug from board.
- Carefully ease open the lock washer (50.56) (open ends) with a screw driver while pulling the trip
slide (50.50) upwards from the board support.
- Remove trip slide (50.50) from board support by pulling upwards.
- Loosen head cap screws (50.57) on board support and remove this from gearbox (only necessary on
5kN thrust actuator).
- Insert stroke-switch board (50.61) in board support (50.42) and fix in place using the supplied
screws (50.44).
- Mount board support loosely on gearbox cover plate with two head cap screws (50.57) (only
necessary on 5kN).
- Push trip slide (50.50) back into board support (50.42) from above and onto the guide spindle
(50.38).
- Align board support (50.42) on gearbox cover plate in such a way that the guide spindle (50.38) is
centrally situated in the borehole of the board support (50.42); then screw down tightly on gearbox
cover plate (only necessary on 5kN).
- Mount the trip slide (50.50) so that the spring (50.56) clips into the groove of the guide spindle
(50.38).
- Insert 6-pole connector (50.62) in jack strip of stroke-switch board.
- Proceed to strip the connecting cable that has been led in through the cable inlet and fastened, and
connect the individual conductors to the terminal strip in accordance with the desired circuitry and
the wiring diagram.

6.5.3.2 Setting of standard travel switch (S3):
On delivery of the thrust actuator, the standard travel switch (S3) is already set to the existing valvelift and the setting spindle for the travel switch S3 (50.51) is sealed with screw glyptal.
This setting needs no changing for normal operation.
If reinstalling the thrust actuator on a straight-way valve, the travel switch S3 needs to be set
as follows:
Move valve out of the lowest position so as to run valve-lift to up position.
Using a screw driver, proceed to turn setting spindle for switch S3 (50.51) until the trip cam (50.54)
arriving from below trips the switch (audible click).
Run thrust actuator briefly in closing direction and then in opening direction once more, checking to
see whether the thrust actuator is switched off at the desired point (nominal lift).
If need be, correct the setting as described.
If reinstalling the thrust actuator on a three-way valve, the travel switch S3 needs to be set as
follows:
- Run valve in both final positions and check in each final position whether the valve switches off via
the load-dependent switch.
- Carry out a check in the top final position the see whether, after switching off the thrust actuator,
the trip cam (50.54) of the travel switch S3 is situated below switch S3 and has not tripped the
latter. If the trip cam (50.54) is situated above the travel switch S3 or trips the same, the setting
spindle governing the travel switch S3 (50.51) needs to be turned until the trip cam is situated
below travel switch S3 without tripping it.
- Run the thrust actuator in both final positions once more and check whether thrust actuator switches
off in both final positions via the load-dependent switches.
- If need be, correct the setting as described above.
0040000107 2402
page 25

6.5.3.3 Setting the additional travel switches (S4/S5 and S24/S25)
The two additional travel switches can be freely set in both lift directions for indicating certain valve
positions.
To do this, proceed as follows:
- Run valve to desired position due to be indicated by the corresponding switch.
- Proceed to turn the setting spindle belonging to the appurtenant switch until the switch is tripped
(audible click).
- Run thrust actuator briefly in both directions, checking and, if need be, correcting the setting.
The actuating feature on the travel switches is designed in such a way that both travel switches can
be overrun in both directions.
Standard design:
For that reason, care should be taken on additional travel switches to see that the actuating state of
the switches remains active only for a short time while the thrust actuator continues to run and that
switching back takes place afterwards.
The actuating state of the travel switches remains in force over a lift of 4 mm.
Special design:
At additional travel switches with extended switch levers, the actuating state of the travel switches
remains in force over a lift of 49 mm.
6.5.4 Potentiometers
The potentiometers are used for electrical position acknowledgement on the facility control system
or for the options - electronic position controller ES11 or electronic position indicator RI21
A maximum of 2 potentiometers can be installed (= 1 double potentiometer).
The potentiometers can be supplied with different resistance values (refer to section 4.3 Technical
Data).
For the electronic position controller ES11 and the electronic position indicator RI21 use must be
made solely of 1000 ohm potentiometers.
Conversion of the relevant valve-lift to the potentiometer angle of rotation is effected by means of
transmission determined in respect of each valve-lift between the toothed rack on the trip slide and
the pinion on the potentiometer shaft.
Use must only be made of the pinion specified for the valve-lift.
If the thrust actuator is supplied with the valve and built-in potentiometer, the potentiometer is
assembled and set ready for operation.
To achieve optimal electromagnetic compatibility it is recommended to use shielded cables for
connecting potentiometers or standardized active current or voltage signals.
page 26
0040000107 2402

6.5.4.1 Installing the potentiometer
If retrofitting the potentiometer, proceed as follows:
accidentally.
- Plug in the flat connectors on grey potentiometer cables onto the middle connector pins, those of
the red cables onto the upper connector pins and those of the yellow cables onto the lower
connector pins of the potentiometer (Fig 12).
- Insert the potentiometer into the guide in the way that the pinion (50.73) of the potentiometer
meshes with the gear stick of the trip slide.
- With a valve lift up to 30 mm, hook spiral spring (50.70) into the left-hand window of board
support (50.42) above the potentiometer guide, insert into the guide between the slide block and
the potentiometer guide and hook into the cut-out below the potentiometer.
With a valve lift between 30 mm and 50mm, hook spiral spring (50.70) into the right-hand window
(for 12 - 15kN middle window) above the potentiometer guide, insert into the guide between the
slide block and the potentiometer guide and hook into the cut-out below the potentiometer.
With a valve lift between 50 mm and 65 mm, hook spiral spring (50.70) into the middle window in
board support (50.42) above the potentiometer guide, insert into the guide between the slide block
and the potentiometer guide and hook into the cut-out below the potentiometer.
- Check to see whether pinion (50.73) is pressed into toothed rack by spiral spring (50.70) and is
positioned free from backlash.
- If this is not the case, remove spiral spring (50.70), readjust by bending a little, and place back in
position again.
- Screw jack strip of connecting cable (50.68) to board support (50.42) with two self-tapping screws
(50.69) (single potentiometer connectors 25-27).
- Insert additional 3-pole connector (50.74) in jack strip of connecting cable (50.68).
- Set potentiometer (refer to section 6.5.4.2).

To set the potentiometer, proceed as follows:
- Move thrust actuator to closing position.
accidentally.
- Using a screw driver, turn slotted potentiometer shaft in counter-clockwise direction until reaching
the travel stop. This places the potentiometer in the initial position (approx. 0 ohm).
- For checking purposes, the resistance of the potentiometer needs to be measured using an
ohmmeter.
- Measure resistance on potentiometer 1 between terminals 25 and 26.
- Measure resistance on potentiometer 2 between terminals 28 and 29.
- In this position of the actuator, the measured value should be approx. 0 ohm.
- Run thrust actuator to upper final position and read off corresponding resistance value on
ohmmeter.
- The resistance values thus measured need to be taken into account for the settings to the facility
control system.

6.5.5 Heating
A heating resistor can be fitted as a means of protection against the formation of condensation water
in cases involving widely varying ambient temperatures and high atmospheric humidity (outdoor
use). The heating resistor is self-regulating so that a continuous supply of current merely needs to be
connected up.
6.5.5.1 Installation of heating
On principle, the heating can be combined with all options. It is completely mounted on a holding
bracket.
If electronic system ES11 or RI21 is already installed, unscrew the electronic system from the
holding bracket, remove it, install the heating and attach the electronic system to the holding bracket
for the heating.
To install the heating proceed as follows:
accidentally.
- Using the supplied screws, mount complete heating (on holding bracket) at the point on the gearbox
cover plate provided for the purpose. (Fig. 16).
- Lead continuous-current cable (mains voltage = rated voltage of heating) through cable inlet into
thrust actuator and fix in place with inlet.
- Strip continuous-current cable approx. 1-1.5cm above cable inlet.
- Strip individual conductors approx. 5mm away from the end and provide with conductor end
sleeves.
- Lay the individual conductors in such a way that they do not come into contact with moving parts.
- Connect the individual conductors up to the connection terminal block in accordance with the
wiring diagram.

7.0 Starting up
DANGER!
Check the following before starting up a new system or restarting a system after repairs or
conversion:
- Correct completion of all installation/assembly work!
- Circuits of the system in accordance with DIN VDE regulations and regulations of the
relevant power supply company as well as compliance with all safety regulations, especially
TRB 700.
- hood of thrust actuator assembled.
- Start up only by qualified personnel (see 2.3).
While in operation, the thrust actuator has moving and rotating parts as well as being
integrated in an electrical network system. Improper handling or failure to observe the
operating instructions or the valid regulations may lead to death, grievous bodily injury or
substantial property damage!
When placing into service proceed as follows:
- Using the handwheel, run the thrust actuator to approximately mid lift position.
- Apply brief pulses to the thrust actuator for each direction of movement and check whether the
directions of movement correspond to those desired. If this is not the case, the pulse lines
governing the opening and closing action must be exchanged on the thrust actuator.
- Run thrust actuator to the final position in each direction of movement and check whether it
switches off automatically and whether all externally moving parts are able to move freely.
- If failing to function properly, check all installation and setting work previously carried out,
correcting if necessary, and afterwards place into service once again.
8.0 Care and maintenance

The thrust actuator requires very little maintenance. Accordingly maintenance in specified intervals
is not necessary.
Depending on the conditions governing use, the maintenance and maintenance-intervals have to be
defined by the operator (see TRB 700).
The thrust actuator must not be cleaned with high-pressure equipment or aggressive solvents or
detergents injurious to health or highly inflammable.
During and after cleaning, an inspection should be carried out of the sealing points on the thrust
actuator.
If there is any sign of lubricant escaping or dirt having accumulated, the sealing elements must be
repaired.
9.0 Troubleshooting
In the event of malfunctions or disturbances in operation, first check whether the installation and
adjustment work has been carried out and concluded in accordance with these operating instructions.
Compare the data referring to operating voltage, actuating signal and temperature to the data
specified on the layout drawing of the control system. Also check whether the given operating
conditions correspond to those specified in the data sheet or to the technical data specified on the
type identification plate.
DANGER!
All relevant safety regulations must be observed when carrying out the troubleshooting procedure,
especially TRB 700.
Contact the supplier/manufacturer if faults cannot be rectified on the basis of the following
troubleshooting table.

qualified personnel (refer to section 2.3).
- Regard TRB 700.
- The supply line for connecting up the thrust actuator must be in the dead state i.e. disconnected
while dismantlement work is being carried out. After being disconnected, the mains power must be
prevented from being switched back on again accidentally.
- The system must be run down (depressurised state) as the valve cone is not held without the thrust
actuator and would thus be conducted by the system pressure.
- Valve cone approximately in mid lift position - on no account supported inside a seat!

To dismantle the thrust actuator proceed as follows:
- Loosen counter-sunk screw in hood, carefully remove hood.
- Disconnect all cables led into thrust actuator from outside and remove from thrust actuator.
- Place hood on carefully from above and fix in place with counter-sunk screw and rubber gasket.
- Loosen grub screw inside torsion safety feature; screw coupling out of torsion safety feature.
- Loosen clamping bolts connecting the thrust actuator to the fitting.
- Remove thrust actuator from valve.
