Manual Operation W2
Actuators are equipped with a manual operation knob used in
case of power failure. Manual operation is possible only after
the power supply is switched off or disconnected.
To operate, push the manual operation knob down and turn
clockwise to move the stem upward and counterclockwise to
move the stem downward. If the actuator returns to automatic
control, the manual operation knob unlocks automatically.

Input Signal Range
The range of the analog input signal Y (Vdc or mA) can be
