1.1 Additional equipment  
The actuators can be equipped with addi-  
tional units, such as limit switches and po-  
tentiometers, to influence the tasks of control  
equipment. In addition, the actuator can be  
equipped with a digital positioner for pro-  
cessing standard signals in the range of  
0 (2) to 10 V or 4 (0) to 20 mA.  
The Type 3374 Electric Actuator is used in  
industrial plants as well as in heating, venti-  
lation and air-conditioning systems.  
The linear actuator is suitable for form-fit at-  
tachment to various SAMSON valve series,  
depending on the version with or without  
fail-safe action. The actuators consist of a  
reversible synchronous motor and a mainte-  
nance-free planetary gear with ball screw.  
The synchronous motor is switched off by  
torque-dependent switches when the final  
positions are reached or in case of an over-  
load.  
Refer to section 5 for details on retrofitting  
additional equipment.  
The motion is transmitted to the actuator  
stem by the gears and ball screw.  
Actuator versions with integrated yoke are  
primarily used for attachment to Series  
V 2001 Valves, Type 3260 (DN 65 to 150),  
and Type 3214 (DN 65 to 250) Valves.  
Actuator versions for central attachment us-  
ing an M30 x 1.5 ring nut are preferably  
combined with Series 240 Valves and  
Type 3214 (DN 125 to 150) .

4.2.1 Limit switches  
1. Use motor or manual override to move  
the control valve to the position where  
the switching function is to be activated.  
2. Use hex wrench to turn spindle (2) for  
the upper limit switch or spindle (3) for  
the lower limit switch until the associated  
contact cam on the cam bracket (7) trig-  
gers the switch contact of the upper or  
lower microswitch (1).  
4.1 Manual operation of the  
actuator  
To operate the manual override, place  
4 mm hex wrench on the red actuator shaft  
located at the side of the housing. The hex  
wrench is delivered with the actuator. It is  
attached to the bottom of the housing.  
Manual override is only possible in actua-  
tors with fail-safe action when the power  
supply is connected (terminals N and L).  
4.2.2 Potentiometers  
Set the selector switch (2, in Fig. 6) of the  
actuator with positioner to the operating  
The gears of the potentiometers (12) and  
(13) must be put onto their shafts to  
correspond with the rated travel of the con-  
trol valve. The rated travel inscription  
“Nennhub 15” or “Nennhub 30” must be  
legible. If this is not the case, pull each po-  
tentiometer gear off the shaft and put it back  
on again with the reverse side of the wheel  
facing upwards, ensuring it is aligned  
roughly flush with the potentiometer shaft.

cally, allowing the travel (controlled variable  
x) and the input signal (reference variable  
w) of the positioner to be matched in the  
best possible way. Additionally, the digital  
positioner provides valve position feedback  
for remote transmission.  
2. Check mounting position of the potenti-  
ometer gear (12).  
The gear must be put onto the potentiometer  
shaft to correspond with the rated travel of  
the control valve. The inscription  
Nennhub 15” (for 6 to 20 mm travel) or  
Nennhub 30” (for 6 to 35 mm travel) must  
be legible from above on the associated  
gear side. If this is not the case, pull the  
gear off the shaft and put it back on again  
with the reverse side facing upwards, allow-  
ing the intermediate gear to engage prop-  
erly.  
Setting and start-up can be carried out us-  
ing four different operating modes. Oper-  
ating modes 1 and 2 work with set data  
stored in the positioner's memory. The user  
only needs to select the operating mode via  
the selector switch (2) and press the button  
(4) to start travel calibration.  
Note!

Operation and setting  
Press the button briefly to obtain a travel  
calibration for valve CLOSED when the actu-  
ator stem extends.  
Caution!  
The automatic travel calibration lasts  
approximately twice as long as the  
actuator's transit time. During this  
period, the valve leaves its current  
position. Calibrate the travel either  
on the test bench or when the  
shut-off valves in the plant are  
closed.  
Direction of action: Increasing/increasing.  
Hold the button pressed for longer than 3  
seconds (indicated by switchover from sig-  
nal lamp 8 to signal lamp 9) to obtain a  
travel calibration for valve CLOSED when  
the actuator stem retracts.

Operation and setting  
as it will go to the valve's CLOSED position.  
Calibration is carried out when both signal  
lamps (8 and 9) are lit.  
Do not adjust the potentiometer before the  
closed position is actually reached. This is  
indicated by the associated, activated limit  
switch on the board (Fig. 5 on page 13).  
To proceed, adjust the shaft of the potenti-  
ometer (12.1) by turning it gradually clock-  
wise or counterclockwise with a screwdriver  
until the signal lamp stops blinking and is  
constantly illuminated. Turn the screwdriver  
counterclockwise if the upper signal lamp  
(8) blinks, and clockwise if the lower signal  
lamp (9) blinks, corresponding to the icons  
(7). Travel calibration does not continue until  
both signal lamps are illuminated at the  
same time.  
Travel calibration starts after the mounting  
position of the potentiometer gear (12) has  
been determined automatically. This is indi-  
cated by signal lamp (8) for 6 to 35 mm  
travel and by signal lamp (9) for 6 to  
20 mm travel.  
When travel calibration starts, the lower sig-  
nal lamp (9) blinks quickly for about 10 sec-  
onds. The actuator stem retracts as far as it  
will go (maximum travel - valve OPEN).  
Travel calibration is successfully completed  
when the end position is reached. The actu-  
ator is in control operation. The actuator  
stem moves to the valve position determined  
by the reference variable.  
Note!  
If both signal lamps start to blink simulta-  
neously during travel calibration, interrupt  
calibration by pressing the travel calibration  
button (4) and check the mounting position  
of the potentiometer gear (12) again.  
If no travel motion can be determined dur-  
ing calibration, e.g. due to a loose or miss-  
ing potentiometer gear, both signal lamps  
blink alternately.  
Note!  
If one of the signal lamps starts to blink  
slowly after the travel calibration button has  
been pressed and the actuator stem has ex-  
tended to the valve's CLOSED position, the  
potentiometer shaft (12.1) has been wrongly  
positioned. Readjust it manually.  
If this is the case, interrupt travel calibration  
by pressing the button (4), correct the error,  
and restart calibration by pressing the but-  
ton (4) again.

Retrofitting additional electrical equipment  
Setting with limited travel range

Retrofitting additional  
electrical equipment  
Travel calibration is usually based on the  
maximum travel of the control valve.  
The actuator can be subsequently equipped  
with two limit switches, two potentiometers  
or a digital positioner.  
If, however, the maximum possible travel is  
to be limited to a smaller travel end value,  
press the button (4) once at the start of cali-  
bration while the signal lamp blinks for  
10 seconds. As a result, travel calibration  
via the potentiometer gear with rated travel  
15 or 30 is limited to 6 mm. Each time the  
button is pressed, the travel range is in-  
creased by 1 mm.  
Depending on the actuator version used, the  
actuator board needs to be replaced as  
well.  
The actuator version is marked on the name-  
plate, e.g. model 3374-11000002000.  
When ordering additional electrical equip-  
ment from the manufacturer, make sure to  
include this model number in the order.  
If, for example, a control valve designed for  
15 mm is to be operated with a limited  
travel range of 10 mm, press the button (4)  
5 times during the 10 second time limit. The  
top signal lamp (8) flashes each time the key  
is pressed.  
Caution!  
When installing electrical equipment, make  
sure the supply voltage and the signal input  
are disconnected. Only use power interrup-  
tion devices which are protected against un-  
intentional reconnection of the power sup-  
ply.  
Reporting defined events  
At the binary output (terminal 83 and 84),  
predefined events can be indicated (see  
EB 8331-2 EN) during positioner operation  
and transmitted to a control room.  
Note!  
It is recommendable to slightly apply lubri-  
cant (e.g. Vaseline) to the spindles on the  
gear faces and to the sides of the cogs.

6. Turn both contact cams (6) as illustrated  
in Fig. 7.1 corresponding with the posi-  
tion of the actuator stem on the cam  
bracket (7).  
5.1 Limit switches  
The retrofit kit (order no. 1400-8830) is re-  
quired to install limit switches. If the actuator  
is not already equipped with potentiometers  
or a positioner, the basic unit (order no.  
1400-8829) is also required. The unit in-  
cludes the spindle gear (2) and the interme-  
diate gear (5).  
7. Push the spacer (9) onto the spindle for  
the cam bracket. Push the cam bracket  
with both cams onto the spindle corre-  
sponding with the position of the actua-  
tor stem as illustrated in Fig. 7.2. Make  
sure that the outermost cog of the cam  
bracket (7) engages in the gearwheel of  
the intermediate gear (5). In addition,  
the adjustment gears (8) must engage  
properly in the corresponding gears of  
the contact cams (6).  
Note! To mount the limit switches, the actua-  
tor stem must be in end position, i.e. the  
stem must be either fully extended or fully  
retracted. If necessary, move the stem to the  
appropriate position using the manual over-  
ride on the side.  
1. Remove the fastening screws. Push the  
actuator board (1) from its guiding to  
the right. Slightly lift the board and con-  
tinue pushing it further towards the cable

5.2 Potentiometers  
Actuators with a digital positioner cannot be  
equipped with potentiometers.  
To install the potentiometers, an actuator  
board with the appropriate potentiometers  
and gears (12 and 13) is required.  
4. The potentiometer gears (12 and 13)  
with retaining rings must be put onto  
their shafts corresponding with the rated  
travel of the control valve. The rated  
travel inscription “Nennhub 15” (on the  
upper side with the retaining ring) or  
“Nennhub 30” (lower side) must be legi-  
ble from above (also see Figs. 4 and 5).  
5. Push the actuator board back into its  
guiding. Make sure that the gears are  
properly engaged. Fasten the board us-  
ing screws.  
If the actuator is not already equipped with  
limit switches, the basic unit (order no.  
1400-8829) is also required. The unit in-  
cludes the spindle gear (2) and the interme-  
diate gear (5).  
1. Remove the fastening screws. Push the  
actuator board (1) from its guiding to  
the right. Take out the board and re-  
place it with a board with potentiom-  
eters.  
2. Clip the spindle gear (2) onto the sleeve  
(3) as illustrated in Fig. 7, top. Make

5.3 Digital positioner  
To install a positioner, a corresponding ac-  
tuator board and TROVIS-VIEW 3374 and  
connecting cable 0450-1978 are necessary.  
If the actuator is not already equipped with  
limit switches, the basic unit (order no.  
1400-8829) is also required. The unit in-  
cludes the spindle gear (2) and the interme-  
diate gear (5).

4. The gear (12) on the feedback potenti-  
ometer, which is equipped with a retain-  
ing ring, must be put onto its shaft corre-  
sponding with the rated travel of the  
control valve. The rated travel inscription  
“Nennhub 15” (on the upper side with  
the retaining ring) or “Nennhub 30”  
(lower side) must be legible from above  
(also see Figs. 4 and 5).  
5. Push the actuator board (1) back into its  
guiding. Make sure that the gears are  
properly engaged. Fasten the board us-  
ing screws.

4.3 of these instructions.  
5.3.1 Calibrating the positioner  
To calibrate the positioner, proceed as de-  
scribed in section 4 of EB 8331-2 EN.  
5.3.2 Simplest method to calibrate  
the actuator  
If tools such as the TROVIS-VIEW software,  
PC etc. are not available for calibration of  
the actuator and the actuator operation with  
maximum precision is not necessary, the  
simplest calibration method can be per-  
formed as follows:  
1. Position the selector switch (2) to operat-  
ing mode 0 =  
.
2. Press down the travel calibration button  
(5) for at least 15 seconds until both sig-  
nal lamps light up.  
3. Release the button to start calibration.  
The actuator stem extends until the  
torque-dependent switches switch off the  
actuator.  
The position of the potentiometer is  
checked.  
4. Re-adjust the potentiometer, if neces-  
sary, while observing the signal lamps.  
Refer to the description given on  
page 14 of EB 8331-2 EN.  
After adjusting the potentiometer, the  
calibration of the actuator is continued.
