Structure and function

4.2 Brief description


An EHS-CM control module is installed in a separate control
cabinet for local operation of the device.
Open
The command open starts the electric motor with pump, which
moves the armature in the open direction via hydraulic pressure.
When reaching the open limit stop the motor is switched off via the
limit switch and the open signal is returned to the EHS-CM control
module.
Close
The command close changes the rotary direction of the electric
motor with pump, which closes the armature hydraulically. When
reaching the closed limit stop the motor is switched off via the limit
switch and the closed signal is returned to the EHS-CM control
module.
Intermediate positions
If the power supply fails the momentary position is maintained
hydraulically by the check valves R1, R2.
Fault
If the valve is blocked due to external influence although the Close
or Open command has been selected, then the power supply is
switched off by the EHS-CM control module after a pre-selected
time and an alarm is output.
Emergency operation
All EHS-D units can be activated by a portable hand pump. The
portable hand pump must be connected to the EHS-D via the
quick-release coupling. Specific operating instructions are on the
information plate affixed to the hand pump.
As an option a rotary actuator can also be delivered with an
attached hand pump.
Emergency activation can be executed two minutes after the last
remote activation, at the earliest.
