• 1. Prepare Your System: Before you can operate a pneumatic actuator, you will need to make sure that your system is ready. This will include establishing your power source, pressure regulators, and necessary connections between the components.

  2. Connect the Valve: Connect your actuator to the valve by attaching the appropriate fittings or flanges that are indicated in the instructions for your specific model. Generally speaking, this involves threading the fittings onto the valve body, although it is the model-dependent..

  3. Connect the Actuator: After the valve is connected, you need to use the appropriate fittings to attach the actuator to the valve's drive shaft. Usually, this will involve unbolting the actuator from its base, sliding it onto the drive shaft, and bolting it back on.

  4. Power On: Switch the power source on for your actuator, typically this will be a compressed air hose connected to a pressure regulator.

  5. Open/Close Valves: After the power is on, you will be able to either open or close the valves, depending on the position of the actuator. Clockwise motion typically closes the valve, while counter-clockwise motion opens the valve.

  6. Power Off: Finally, once you have opened or closed the valves to your desired position, make sure to turn off the power source for the actuator.
