Electronic Fail-Safe Actuators - Enhanced Control During Power Outages
Performance Innovation
With over 5 years of development these electronic fail-safe actuators incorporate the latest super
capacitor technology. Offering:
- Increase cycle life
- Selectable fail-safe position (0-100%)
- Rapid charging
- Charging diagnostics
- Maintenance free
Technology
The electronic fail-safe actuators were developed by integrating super capacitor technology to provide reliable operation, bridge short voltage interruptions,
and control the actuator to a defined power-off position for longer outages.
The fail-safe position can be set 0-100% in 10% increments providing the user a wide range of power off positions. Power consumption is significantly reduced in standby and hold mode by a patented function; offering further energy savings.
Design
The electronic fail-safe actuator market has experienced serious problems in the past. Actuators designs have had short life cycle, capacitors have not
charged completely, problems were experienced at high and low temperatures, and long start-up times; all of these past concerns have been addressed with
Belimo Electronic Fail-Safe actuator series.
