• Remove main round cover (15) and loosen the screw (11) of the
shield (12) and turn the shield down.
Closed Position:
• Move the actuator/valve assembly to the closed position.
• For normal double acting or spring return modules, remove the
control signal from pilot valve terminal 8 and 9.
• In case of a double acting “Fail-in-Last-Position” module, apply a
control signal to terminal 11 and 12 and remove the control signal
from terminal 8 and 9.
Closed Position:
• Turn top screw (10) counter clock wise (do not force the adjust-
ment screw) until the switch trips to the “off state” (no signal)..
Closed Position:
• Turn top screw (10) clock wise (do not force the adjustment
screw) until the switch trips to the “on state”.
• This position represents the actual, mechanical “closed” position
of the valve.
Closed Position:
• Turn the screw minimal a 1/2 turn clock wise. The “closed” posi-
tion switch point is now set.
Open Position:
• Move the actuator/valve assembly to the open position.
• For normal double acting or spring return modules, apply the
control signal to pilot valve terminal 8 and 9.
• In case of a double acting “Fail-in-Last-Position” module, remove
the control signal to terminal 11 and 12 and apply the control
signal to terminal 8 and 9.
Open Position:
• Turn bottom screw (9) counter clock wise (do not force the adjust-
ment screw) until the switch trips to the “on state”.
• This position represents the actual, mechanical “open” position of
the valve.
Open Position:
• Turn bottom screw (9) clock wise (do not force the adjustment
screw) until the switch trips to the “off state” (no signal).
• Turn the shield (12) back over the adjustment screws and fasten it
with the screw (11) and mount the main round cover (15) back in
place.
Open Position:
• Turn the screw minimal a 1/2 turn counter clock wise.
• The “open” position switch point is now set.

CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE THE ADJUSTMENT
SCREWS (9 & 10) WHEN RESISTANCE IS FELT.
During adjustment there are three situations that can damage the
adjustment screw head and internal mechanisms when forcing the
adjustment screws.
1. When adjustment screw (10) is rotated too much counter clock
wise.
2. When adjustment screw (9) is rotated too much clock wise.
3. When the adjustment screws (9 & 10) are rotated too much in
the direction according to their related arrows.
Situation 1 and 2 may happen in combination with situation 3.

• If the switch adjustment screws block or it is unknown what
the swith point setting is, use the instructions as shown at
the back of this page.

Factory setting of
switch points
Setting the switch point back to factory
settings.
• If the switch adjust-
ment screws block or
it is unknown what the
swith point setting is,
use these instructions
to set the switch point
back to the factory set-
tings. (±15° before each
end of stroke), assuming
a mechanical stroke of
90°±0.5° of the actuator.
• Make pneumatic and electrical connections before adjusting
the limit switch setting. See chapter 3 and 4 of QC40 Installa-
tion guide.
• If there is trouble with setting the Close Position, set Open
Position rst (steps 5 to 7) and set the Close Position (steps
2 to 4) after Open Position is set.
• Remove main round cover (15) and loosen the screw (11) of the
shield (12) and turn the shield down.

CAUTION: DO NOT FORCE THE ADJUSTMENT
SCREWS WHEN RESISTANCE IS FELT.
During adjustment there are three situations that can damage the
adjustment screw head and internal mechanisms when forcing the
adjustment screws.
1. Pivot block (2) will be blocked at bottom if screw (10) is rotated
too much counter clock wise.
2. Pivot block (4) will be blocked at top if screw (9) is rotated too
much clock wise.
3. Pivot blocks (2 & 4) will interfere with each other, if the adjust-
ment screws (9 & 10) are rotated too much in the direction ac-
cording to their related arrows.
Situation 1 and 2 may happen in combination with situation 3.
