Local Control Stations For Electric Actuators: Key Features

Local Control Stations
for Electric Actuators

On/Off/Jog/Proportional
Key Features:
ProMation Engineerings Local Control
Stations (LCS) give you the choice of
using remote process control signals for
the actuator or operating the actuator at
the location of your choice, either at the
actuator or just nearby.
The ProMation LCS can be remotely located

or directly mounted on the actuator providing
an array of controls and displays of functions
being performed.
An LCS is typically used when there is a
need to control an actuator locally or at some
location nearby, isolating it from the normal
control signal.
A host of control options are available in both
On/Off/Jog or Proportional control, and in
voltages from 12VDC to 575V 3 phase.

Application Notes:
Mechanical
Connections
1.
This control enclosure is designed to be mounted onto P, PA & PL

Series actuators mounted in either a horizontal or upright position.
Do NOT mount the actuator with the top below a horizontal position.
Electrical Entry
2.
When installing conduit, use proper techniques for entry into the LCS.
Use drip loops to prevent conduit condensate from entering the LCS
and/or actuator
3.
Both NPT conduit ports MUST use proper equipment to protect

the NEMA 4x integrity of the housing.
4.
The anti-condensate heater is to be used in ALL applications.
5.
Do not install or store the actuator outdoors or in humid

environments without power to the heater.
6.
Use proper wire size to prevent actuator failure (see wire sizing chart
for the actuator).

LCS Model LK
QuikLook
Below is just one example of a Local Control Station (LCS) that is compatible with P2~P13 Series
120vac Modulating Actuators. This is a painted steel, hinged 10H x 8W x 6D NEMA 4 enclosure
which either attaches directly to the actuators EMT ports, or can be located some distance from
the actuator (i.e. when using chain wheel drives for ceiling mounted actuators).
This unit has a remote/off/local switch, a position potentiometer which generates a FULL 4-20 mA
signal to position the actuator in local mode, open/close indicator lights, and dual digital displays
showing active process signals being sent to the actuator as well as the feedback signal being
generated by the actuator. A dry contact output for mode switch position can be used to remotely
monitor the status of the LCS.
CLOSED (RED) indicator
Uses aux contacts from the actuator.

When the MODE switch is set for LOCAL
or REMOTE and the actuator is fully
CLOSED, this indicator will illuminate.
OPEN (GRN) indicator
Uses aux contacts from the actuator.

When the MODE switch is set for
LOCAL or REMOTE and the actuator is
fully OPEN, this indicator will illuminate.
Positioning Signal
LCD display shows the control

signal being sent to the actuator
and is automatically switched to
REMOTE or LOCAL signal as a
function of the MODE switch.
Latch
Quarter-turn, screwdriver access.

Opens cabinet door to gain access
to wiring terminal blocks and
actuator wiring entry.
Local Positioning Knob

This weatherproof potentiometer
knob controls the signal generator
module inside the enclosure to
generate the actuator positioning
signal when the MODE switch is in
the LOCAL position.
Feedback Signal
LCD display shows the feedback

signal being generated by the
actuator. The MODE switch must
be in either REMOTE or LOCAL
position for this display to function.
MODE Switch Knob
This selects the mode in which the actuator operates. In LOCAL mode,
the front panel mounted potentiometer positions the actuator. In the
REMOTE mode, the actuator positioning signal comes from the BAS
or PLC system. MODE switch position has dry contacts in both active
positions to allow remote monitoring of the MODE switch position.

Common Questions
ProMation Engineering can provide an array of configurations for our Local Control Stations.
By anwering the questions below and calling ProMation Engineering, together we can help
determine the best, most cost effective solution for your needs:
1. Is the requirement for On / Off / Jog or Proportional control?

2. What is the voltage supplying the ACTUATOR?
3. Standard control has a MODE switch to select Local or Remote operation. Do I need an OFF
position to remove power from the actuator? (This is NOT a service disconnect)
4. Do I need indicator lights for OPEN and CLOSE verification?
5. Do I need indicator lights for POWER verification?
6. Is the environmental requirement for NEMA 4 (steel) , or NEMA 4X (stainless or fiberglass)?
7. Is the CONTROL STATION being mounted directly TO the actuator or REMOTELY mounted
for ease of access? For On / Off / Jog control, do I need a STOP position or just Open / Close?
8. For On/Off do I need the MODE switch position remote sense signal option?
9. For Proportional control, what is the control signal commanding the actuator WHERE to
move? (i.e. 4-20mA, 1-5vdc, 2-10vdc....)
10. For Proportional control, do I need Open / Close positioning, or FULL ANALOG positioning
when in LOCAL mode?
11. For Proportional control, do I need a digital display showing the command control value
going TO the actuator?
12. For Proportional control, do I need a digital display showing the command position being
generated BY the actuator? (feedback signal)
