Questions to Ask When Using the HEA Electric Actuator
Understanding key aspects of the HEA Electric Actuator helps in optimizing its performance.
Performance and Functionality
Q: Can the valve actuator automatically cut off power when fully opened/closed?
A: Yes, the micro switch cuts off the power line in the open/closed position, stopping the motor while keeping the actuator powered.
Q: What is the service life of the actuator?
A:The HEA Modulating Type Electric Actuator has a service life of approximately 30,000 cycles.
Q: Can it work at voltages slightly below 220VAC?
A: Yes, the range of 220VAC ±10% is supported, allowing operation at 210VAC.
Troubleshooting Issues
Q: Why doesn’t the middle shaft rotate during operation?
A: This may indicate a broken worm gear or worm.
Q: What should I do if it doesn’t reset after closing?
A: Check the power supply and ensure the battery isn't removed.
Installation and Maintenance
Q: Can clients install the motor themselves?
A: No, specialized heating and cooling methods are required for installation, making self-installation impractical.
Q: Can a worm gear be added to increase torque?
A: Yes, but it’s more cost-effective to use a higher-torque Q-type actuator.
