Table 32 End-of-Travel Limit Switch Setting Procedure 
 
Step 
Action 
Remove AC power to the actuator. 
Remove the six screws and the cover from the actuator case.  See Figure 2.  Lay cover 
assembly on a flat surface. 
Using a flat blade screwdriver in the slots at the edge of the cams, or your finger, rotate the 
cams until the switches are set. (See Figure 31). 
• 
Rotate the actuator shaft, using the manual handwheel or the auto-manual switch, to the 0% 
position (this is the 0% for CCW operation using the bottom scale or 100% for CW operation 
using the top scale).  If the actuator is installed on a damper or valve, also make sure that 
this position is synchronized with the travel of the final control element. 
• 
Rotate the #1 limit switch operating cam to activate at this position.  The switch roller arm 
should go from being in an up, not depressed state, to a depressed state as the cam is 
rotated in the direction of the shaft rotation going toward the limit position. This will cause 
the switch to go from NC to NO and turn off the power to the motor when the switch 
activates.  Switch activation may be detected by the clicking sound or with a continuity tester 
connected to the terminals. 
• 
Rotate the actuator shaft, using the manual handwheel or the auto-manual switch, to the 
100% position (this is 100% for CCW operation using the bottom scale or 0% for CW 
operation using the top scale).  If the actuator is installed on a damper or valve, also make 
sure that this position is synchronized with the travel of the final control element. 
• 
Rotate the #2 limit switch operating cam to activate at this position.  The switch roller arm 
should go from being in an up, not depressed state, to a depressed state as the cam is 
rotated in the direction of the shaft rotation going toward the limit position.  This will cause 
the switch to go from NC to NO and turn off the power to the motor when the switch 
activates. 
• 
If optional auxiliary switches were ordered, these switches may also be set at this time. (See  
Setting Auxiliary Switches (page 81). 
Double check limit switch actuation by first manually driving the actuator to each end of travel 
and hearing the switch click or by detecting it with a continuity tester. Secondly, drive the 
actuator to both ends of travel (using the auto/manual switch or by providing minimum and full 
input signal) and make sure the switches activate and turn off the motor.
