SPECIFICATIONS •INSTALLATION
FIG. 1 -- DIMENSIONS OF ML7984 VALVE ACTUATOR IN MM (INCHES).
Installation
Mounting:
1.Ensure that the valve body is installed correctly, that is, the
arrow points in the direction of the flow.
2. Although the actuator can be mounted in any position, it is
preferable that the ML7984 is mounted above the valve body.
This will minimize the risk of damage to the ML7984 in the
event of condensation or a valve gland leak.
3. Remove the stem button (Fig. 3) from the valve stem.
4. Slide the position indicator (plastic disk or rubber O-ring)
over the valve stem. (See inset, Fig. 3) Indicator will self-
align to the marking on the yoke after one complete operating
cycle.
Assembly of ML7984 to the valve:
1. The drive shaft of the ML7984 has a threaded hole to link
with the valve stem. Slide the yoke over the valve bonnet
(Fig. 4)
2. Thread the ML7984 drive shaft onto the valve stem all the
way, until it is completely attached (with no threads
showing), by turning the valve actuator in a clockwise
direction, as viewed from above (depending on the valve
models, use a pin or wrench to keep valve stem from turning).
Note that the valve actuator is shipped with drive shaft in the
mid-position.

5. Remove the plastic cover from the ML7984 by loosening
the two screws located on the top (Note: These screws are
captive. Rotate three complete revolutions to remove cover ).
Drop either slot headed or Allen hex type of set screw (both
are included in the plastic bag ) into the top of the shaft,
slot/hex side up.
6. With a 5 mm (3/16") Slotted screwdriver or 1/8"x 6" Allen
wrench (included in the plastic bag), tighten the set screw to
lock valve stem in place (Fig. 6).
! WARNING
For proper valve operation, valve stem must
be threaded into the actuator all the way
(with no threads showing) and locked in
place with the set screw provided.

OPERATION AND CHECKOUT
Operation and checkout
Operation:
The recommended valve actuator power source is a class 2,
24V transformer or 28Vdc across terminals T5 &T6 (See
Fig.7). The internal circuitry provides dc power for the
electronic sensing and drive motor circuits. The sensing
circuits respond to the signal across the input terminals
based on the configuration DIP switches setting.
CAUTION:
1. Disconnect power supply before beginning installation to
prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.
2. All wiring must comply with applicable local electrical
codes, ordinances and regulations.
3. Make certain that the voltage and frequency of the power
supply correspond to the rating of the device.
4. DO NOT electrically operate the ML7984 before
assembly to the valve because damage not apparent to the
installer may occur.
!
At the end of the valve stroke, the actuator continues to
drive and gradually develops the necessary force for
positive valve close-off. The actuator motor stops
automatically when the motor current
predetermined current & force level.
reaches the
PWM mode:
The ML7984B is controlled by an intermittent voltage pulse
whose width varies in proportion to the desired actuator
position. This called pulse width modulation (PWM). The
PWM signal has two parts: a fixed pulse of a set width to
indicate a signal presence (e.g. 0.1 s) and a varible width
portion incremented in proportional to the signal percentage.
There are 255 increments available (e.g. 0.01 s). Thus, the
pulse width will be the minimum width plus the number of
increments times the incremental value (e.g. stroke mid
position is: 0.1s +128 x 0.01s = 1.38 s). The ML7984B
supports 5 different PMW timebased modes.
Checkout:
1. Make sure the valve stem is completely screwed into the
actuator drive shaft with no threads showing.
2. Make sure the valve stem is locked in place with the set
screw.
3. Make sure the Configuration DIP switches are set
correctly.
4. With 24Vac or 28Vdc power source connected to T5 &
T6, actuator operation can be verified by connecting
appropriate control signal (PWM or 2-10Vdc) from
controller to the signal input terminals (Fig. 7).
For direct acting: A modulating action can be obtained
simply by increasing the control signal width or level. The
actuator will travel from a fully closed position (Stem down)
to a fully open position ( Stem up ). For 2-10Vdc mode,
actuator defaults to closed position on signal failure.
For reverse acting: Decreasing controller signal width or
level will drive actuator from fully closed (Stem down) to a
fully open position (Stem up). For 2-10Vdc mode, actuator
defaults to open position on signal failure.
2-10 Vdc mode:
Control signal between signal input terminals is compared
to similar voltage across the actuator feedback
potentiometer. When these voltages are equal, the drive
motor and drive shaft are stationary.
As long as the value of controlled medium remains at the
controller setpoint, the circuit is in balance, and the actuator
does not run. When the value of the controlled medium
changes, the controller output voltage is changed causing
reference voltages in the circuit to be out of balance. As the
actuator moves in the direction to correct the medium
change, the feedback potentiometer also moves to rebalance
the circuit, and stop the actuator.
5. Operate the system (valve, actuator and controller) for
several cycles to ensure proper installation.
6. When checkout is completed, return the controller to the
desired setting.
GENERAL NOTE:
1. For correct valve operation, the ML7984 must be field
configured with the DIP switches which are located beside
the terminal block, see wiring diagram for details. Turn
power off before setting the DIP switches .
NOTE: Device will ignore any input changes until it has
2. There is a short delay in actuator response upon every
signal change. It is to screen any unwanted incoming signals.
3. For proper operation, voltage on the T5 & T6 must not
be less than 22Vac or 24Vdc during running or force
generating stages.
