AUMA-electric actuator
AUMA-electric actuator
(OP)
Hi.
During the instalation of the actuator on the valve DN800, the electric contacts are swiched and we didn't notice that until we started actuator. We opened the valve by hand 3-4%, and plan was to open the rest by electric power.
When we press „open“ button, valve started to close (because two electric contacts are replaced). Wery fast valve pass the limit switch for close possition, wich didn't react because „open“ command was actual. In that moment second protection react (torque switch), and turn off the actuator.
When we replace wires, and set evrything how it should be, we try to start actuator once again, but the torque switch does not allow any movement.
Also, we couldnt move the valve by hand wheel because rotation doesn't have any effects.
Did you have any similar expirience wich can help us in this situatuation?
Electricans have idea to „by-pass“ the torque switch and start the motor. On that way, to the baterrfly valve will be given bigger torque (full motor power) to move from the „close“ position. After that, torque switch will be connected again.
Is there any posibility to make biger damage or some other problem with valve...?

Unless, of course, you want to burn out the motor as well.
