REXA Actuators produce extremely high forces, have hydraulic lines under pressure and have dangerous electrical power input
levels. In addition to these standard characteristics, optional actuator constructions possess other hazards such as coil and disk
springs under compression and high pressure accumulator bottles.
WARNINGS
Based on these hazards, the following could occur if this safety information is not observed:
• Death
WARNING LABELS
Hazardous Voltage
Turn Off and Lock Out system power before servicing. Do Not Operate this equipment from any power source that
does not match the voltage rating stamped on the equipment. Refer to the manufacturer’s identification nameplate for
operational requirements.
General Warning
Refer to Installation Manual before servicing.
Attention
Important information provided. Do No Use this equipment for any purpose not described in this manual.
Guard Warning
All Guards MUST be in place before operation. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to equipment.
• Using the actuator for uses other than what it is intended may result in injury or death. Use the actuator for its intended
purpose ONLY.
• Do not use the actuator should it be damaged in shipping or installation. Contact REXA
RESIDUAL RISKS
This section is to help identify the risks associated with the Actuator System. These items are identified as:
Feedback Cover:
Feedback Cover MUST be in place during operation. Failure to do so may result in injury. Use proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out
procedures before accessing feedback housing.
Shock Hazard:
Wire Cover must be in place during operation. Use proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures before removing cover.
Shock Hazard:
Control Enclosure Cover must be closed during normal operation. Failure to do so may result in injury. Use proper Lock-
Out/Tag-Out procedures before accessing Control Enclosure.
Shock Hazard:
Hazardous voltage levels are present in the actuator. Only qualified service and installation personnel should install or
adjust this device.
Alignment:
Ensure that the actuator shaft is in line with the valve plug stem. Misalignment could damage the actuator and driven
device or cause injury to installation personnel.
Important:
When machining the control enclosure, thoroughly clean any metal chips or residue from the enclosure before applying
power.
Hydraulic Oil:
The standard oil used in REXA Actuators or drives is Castrol EDGE® SAE 5W-50 motor oil. The introduction of other fluids
may cause damage to the unit.
Note: External thermal expansion chamber or accumulator collection bottle lines may contain up to 60 psi (4 bar) that cannot be relieved.
Note: Accumulators will still contain up to 2 000 psi (138 bar) of nitrogen gas that cannot be relieved.
When to Lock-Out/Tag-Out
Lock-out/Tag-out before servicing.
Most equipment is installed along with safe switches allowing the equipment to be disabled for minor repair. In general, these
switches provide adequate protection for minor repair, which is routine, repetitive, and necessary to the normal use of the equipment.
Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures should be used for the following situations.
Procedures: Lock-Out/Tag-Out
The following are minimum recommended procedures to be followed for Lock-Out/Tag-Out:
Notify all affected areas and employees of the impending Lock-Out situation, the reason for it, and estimated start and duration times.
1. Equipment shutdown and isolation: Place all switches in the “off” or “safe” position. Disconnect sources of power, ensuring
all sources of both primary and secondary power to the equipment are interrupted.
2. Dissipate residual energy. Shutting down equipment does not mean there is no energy left in it. Check for trapped pressure,
compressed spring or residual electricity in the system.
3. Lock-Out or Tag-Out all in-line points of control. In most cases, there may be more than one place, or more than one lock,
if several people are working on the equipment.
4. Lock-Out verification: Take nothing for granted. Verify that the locked-out switch or control cannot be overridden. Test the
equipment to be certain that the locked-out switch is de-energized, and not simply malfunctioning. Test all control points
and modes to be sure that the equipment does not start.
5. Perform the work scheduled. Try to foresee all possible hazards. Ensure the new/repair work does not bypass the Lock-Out
and reactivate the system.
6. Lock and/or tag removal. All locks and tags are to be left in place until all work is completely finished. This is especially true
when more than one employee is working on the equipment. A lock is never to be removed except by the person who
placed it there.
7. Equipment start-up. Make a final safety check before restarting equipment, to be certain it is safe to operate. Make sure
of the following:
b. All machine guards are returned to their proper position. All electric, hydraulic, pneumatic or other systems are
properly reconnected.
Many of the Lock-Out/Tag-Out procedures appear to be common sense, and they are. Following them will ensure safe operation
calibration, maintenance and repair of equipment and/or processes, without dangerous surprises or injury.

1 1. General Information
1 General Information
Please contact the factory if this manual, or your Sales Representative, fails to provide required information.
Note: It is important to have the model code and serial number for both the electronics and the actuator in addition to the serial number
for the actuator so we can provide better service.
This information can be found on the metal tags on the actuator and on the front panel of the electronics. Reference the sections
below on Actuator Identification for more detailed explanation.
The model number will provide a general description of the actuator and electronics as a set. These numbers also provide the
information required to correctly define what sections of this manual applies to a particular actuator. The build number provides
more detailed information of the components used in the construction of the actuator. Finally the serial number will allow the
factory to determine any special considerations or features your actuator may have that make it unique.
Since most applications are custom, this is the only identification that fully allows us to identify the unit. The factory requires these
numbers whenever service or information is requested. Supplying the model, both mechanical and electrical build numbers, and
the serial number will ensure the quickest and most accurate response to your request. These numbers can be found on the ID tags
located on the actuator and on the serial tag on the electronics. Figure 1.3 shows a typical ID tag.

Note: Ambient temperature swings will affect the oil indicator position.
1.6 Oil
1.6.1 Oil Level Inspection
The REXA Xpac Actuator is a sealed, self-contained, hydraulic positioning system in which oil is pumped from one side of a double acting
cylinder to the other. A thermal expansion chamber provides a source of make up oil for the flow matching valve and is an integral
component within the module. As the size of the actuator cylinders increase so does the need for additional make up oil, therefore
larger systems will have external auxiliary expansion chambers in addition to the standard internal thermal expansions chamber .
A closed-loop hydraulic system means that the oil in the actuator is isolated from the environment and immune to degradation with
time as a result of exposure to moisture and other atmospheric elements. Since the hydraulic system is sealed and spring-loaded, it
is also unaffected by the orientation in which the actuator is applied.
A periodic, visual inspection of the REXA Xpac Actuator is required in order to verify that the hydraulic system has not been
compromised for any reason. Any external signs of a major oil leak or repeated refilling of the unit will indicate damage to the
actuator that will require servicing of the unit and investigation for a cause.
Figure 1.6.2-1 Add oil indication Figure 1.6.2-2 Full oil indication Figure 1.6.2-3 Oil Expansion
Larger units will require additional make up oil and an external auxiliary expansion chamber will be plumbed in series with the
internal thermal expansion chamber. The internal thermal expansion chamber will still show the oil level however there is also an
indicator rod in the external auxiliary expansion chamber. At an ambient condition of 70 °F it should be protruding out approximately
3-½ inches as measured from the base of the bushing shown in Figure 1.6.2-4.

In order to check the level of the oil in an accumulator system you must locate the “Auxiliary Expansion
Chamber Settings” label shown below. This can be found on the accumulator bottle.
The accumulator bottle can be checked when the accumulator is fully charged or fully discharged.
Compare the actuator condition to the proper settings listed on the accumulator bottle labels. Figure 1.6.3 Accumulator
Reference section 1.6.4 and add oil if necessary. Pressure Gauge
1.6.4 Filling
If the addition of oil is required, it should be filled with Castrol EDGE® SAE 5W-50 motor oil (Figure 1.6.4-1). An unusual application may
require different oil. (Refer to the actuator serial plate.) The actuator does not need to be taken out of
service when adding oil.
Note: Although Castrol Edge oil is recommended, oil of equal quality may be used.
REXA Xpac Actuators are filled through a standard Schrader-style Fill Valve located on the power module.
Use any oil gun equipped with a Schrader-style fitting. The mating half of a Schrader-style fitting can be
obtained at any auto parts store, purchased through a REXA Sales Rep, or purchased directly from REXA’s
Inside Sales Office. The following steps will guide a user to successfully fill a REXA Xpac Actuator with oil:
Note: Do not overfill the thermal expansion chamber. While overfilling will not harm the actuator on non-
accumulator units, overfilling will force oil from the thermal expansion chamber. Overfilling will also promote
oil weeping from the overfill protection due to thermal expansion. If an accumulator unit is overfilled, the
reservoir can be over pressurized and catastrophic seal damage can occur.
PROCEDURE (9 steps):
1. Locate and Remove the fill valve cover (Figure 1.6.4-2). Figure 1.6.4-1 Castrol EDGE
3. To purge any air out of the oil gun, line and fitting; first, pump the handle a few times until the lever gets firm (Figure 1.6.4-4)
9. Drain and store the Fill Gun in a clean place for future use.
1. General Information
9 1. General Information
The thermal expansion valve is built into every REXA Xpac Actuator in order to allow the actuator to relieve the chamber of excess
oil pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion refers to the volumetric changes a fluid, such as oil, experiences given
changes in environmental temperature.
It is not uncommon to discover trace amounts of residual oil collected around the thermal expansion chamber of an valve if the unit
has been overfilled. This residual oil is typically the result of oil weeping from the overfill protection as the ambient temperature
increases causing the oil to expand. As previously mentioned, the actuator is a closed-loop hydraulic system, and any increase in oil
volume will be purged. On large oil volume actuators REXA adds an external auxiliary expansion chamber in order to compensate
for the greater volume of oil that may expand due to increases in ambient temperature.
If the temperature is lowered, the auxiliary expansion chamber indicator will retract as the oil volume decreases. Oftentimes, users will
mistake the indicator retraction as a sign that the actuator has lost oil due to a service issue. If a user adds oil to the actuator at this time,
oil will likely purge out of the Thermal Expansion Valve upon an eventual rise in ambient temperature. It is when oil is evidently leaking,
or collected in large amounts somewhere on, or dripping off, a REXA Xpac Actuator that a service-related issue is likely, and oil filling is
needed. For this reason, we ask users to perform periodic inspections with ambient temperature changes in mind.
In light of these facts, it is obvious that the presence of any air in the closed-loop hydraulic system of a REXA Xpac Actuator is extremely
disadvantageous and detracts from performance of the actuator. Certain repair and replacement procedures will involve exposing the
internal hydraulic system to the outside environment and may introduce unwanted air to the system. The presence of air in the hydraulic
system is likely to cause problems such as unstable positioning. For this reason, whenever the closed-loop hydraulic system of a REXA
Xpac Actuator is opened to the atmosphere, it is imperative that necessary steps are taken to remove any air from the system. When
purging a REXA Xpac Actuator of air, there are two main areas of concern: the thermal expansion chamber and the hydraulic system.
Note: Be aware of external thermal expansion chambers or additional modules; press evenly on all indicators to check for entrapped air.
2. Depending on the orientation of the actuator the highest purge point on the module must be identified, as any entrapped
air will migrate to the highest point. Purge Port 1 and Purge Port 2 (Figure 1.6.7-1) are both at corners of the thermal
expansion chamber volume and most likely will be the highest points.
Note: Some modules will have external thermal expansion chambers attached and the plugged ports may be the highest points.
Note: Some actuator orientation will not allow for proper purging and the actuator may need to be removed and re-orientated
for purging, then re-installed. The best position for purging is with purge port 1 facing up.
1. Change the Max Man Spd to 30% or less. (Refer to section 6.1.5.)
Note: Some units can have a solenoid instead of a manual bypass; ensure that the solenoid is open before proceeding.

4. Attach the REXA bleed kit (Figure 1.6.8-2) to the open ports Extend/CW and Retract/CCW. Follow the hydraulic lines to
differentiate between pressure direction (Figure 1.6.8-1).
5. Run the actuator through its full stroke constantly pumping oil into the thermal expansion chamber. Do not let the
chamber run dry, or you will need to purge the chamber and start over.

The patented Flow Match System is simply described as a highly efficient method of pumping hydraulic fluid (motor oil Castrol
EDGE® SAE 5W-50) from one side of a double acting cylinder to the other. Once the correct position is reached, the motor shuts off.
Power is not required to maintain actuator position. The hydraulics are controlled by a dedicated microprocessor contained within
the control enclosure. Software designed for the Xpac allows the user to set actuator operation parameters.
Note: Although Castrol Edge oil is recommended, oil of equal quality may be used.
The Xpac consists of two major components, the actuator (cylinder, feedback and Electraulic power module) and the control
enclosure. The actuator is installed on the driven device, while the enclosure is remotely mounted. Connecting the actuator and
enclosure are the module cable and the feedback cable.
1.8.2 Actuator
The heart of the actuator is the Electraulic Power Module. Consisting of a motor, gear pump, flow match valve (FMV), make-up oil thermal
expansion chamber, heater, thermostat and bypass solenoid (spring fail units only), the Power Module delivers oil at a nominal 2000
psi to a hydraulic cylinder. Four different size modules, B, C, ½D and D, are available meeting hazardous area but non-explosion proof
requirements. For applications requiring hazardous area and explosion proof approvals, two different power modules, C and D are
available. The major functional difference between the sizes is pumping volume and thus, the maximum stroking speed of an actuator.
The B and C modules are driven with a stepper motor and therefore have a slower frequency response then the D series modules
which are driven with servo motors. More detailed information on the frequency response and flow rates can be found in product/
technical memos. The only visible difference among all 4 sizes of modules is the motor.
There are three types of hydraulic cylinders. On smaller size linear actuators (thrust of 10 000 lb or less and strokes of 6 inches or
less), the L series cylinder is manufactured from a solid block of aluminum. Larger size C series cylinders are made of a fabricated
tie-rod construction. The third type, used on rotary (series R) and drive (series D) units, is a rack and pinion rotary design.
A position sensor, provides feedback position to the control electronics. The feedback assembly is sealed in a NEMA 4X cover and
mounted within or adjacent to the cylinders. The connection of the position sensor is by direct mechanical means.
The B and C modules shown in Figure 1.8.2-1&2 are the two sizes of stepping motor modules. They both have cylindrical motor
cases. The motor case lengths are depicted in Figure 1.8.2-1&2 for module identification purposes. With the exception of pump and
motor size, these two modules share many of the same components so both modules will be depicted on one rebuild diagram for
each of the applicable service sections.

The control sub-assembly also provides the user interface. The enclosure mounted 4-line x 20 character/line Vacuum Fluorescent Display
(VFD) with Limited Graphics and 5 button keypad will be the point for setup and calibration of the actuator as well as visual feedback of
actuator status. The Keypad and Display can be optionally mounted inside the Control Enclosure should the installation warrant it.
The CPU consists of a microprocessor, an analog-to-digital (A/D) converter, an isolated 4-20 mA position transmitter, electronic limit
switches, as well as warning and alarm relays. The CPU will also accept optional I/O interface boards.
The power supply develops DC voltages from the incoming AC power. The DC voltages, +5, +15 and +24 Vdc, provide power to the
CPU, actuator feedback circuit, the optional interface boards as well as optional loop supply (+24 Vdc) for the Position Transmitter.
The motor driver is the component that supplies power to the motor. It can either be a DC Stepper Motor Driver or an AC Servo
Motor Driver, depending on the model actuator. The motor driver accepts command signals from the CPU and provides DC Step
Pulses (Stepper Motor) or Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) DC Voltage (Servo Motor) to the module mounted motor to drive it in one
direction or the other. There is one motor driver for each power module.

High pressure fluid flows through Port E2 to the right side chamber of the cylinder. Since the hydraulic circuit is closed, the same
amount of oil that flows into the right side of the piston must be extracted from the left side. This allows oil movement without an
active reservoir. This oil flows through the open check valve of FMV-2 and into pump suction.
By rotating the pump in the opposite direction, the FMVs operate in reverse
to move the cylinder piston to the right. When the pump stops, both check
valves close, and the hydraulic oil is locked within the cylinder. Motor
operation is not required to maintain position.
Each actuator has an internal hydraulic bypass circuit. This circuit creates a
direct connection from one side of the hydraulic cylinder to the other. It is
useful for relieving internal pressure in the actuator and allowing an external
load to move the actuator. The nut labeled bypass on the actuator face as

shown in Figure 1.8.5-2 controls this circuit. Turning this bypass in all the way

open this bypass circuit.
Each pressure gauge on the actuator has its own on/off isolation valve (Figure CW Off
1.8.5-2). This valve should remain off unless pressure is being read from the CCW On
gauge. This will protect the gauge from constant cycling, thus extending its
life. When closing this valve you will create an internal pressure trap in the
gauge; therefore, you should not expect to see 0 psi when off.

The connecting link and other linkage should be selected to withstand the maximum load imposed by the drive. This will vary
depending upon the effective length of the arm. The following equation should be used to determine the minimum safe working
load of the connecting linkage:
For most installations, the optimum alignment of the drive arm and the driven (damper) arm is when they are parallel to each other
and perpendicular to the connecting linkage at mid-rotation. Refer to Figure 4.4.2-2. This is accomplished by a combination of
linkage length and drive arm adjustments. A slotted spline connection between the drive arm and shaft provides multiple mating
angles (5°-10° intervals).

Any noticeable bending of the actuator stem or driven device should be immediately corrected. Not only will operation be impaired,
but damage to the actuator seals and bushings or driven device may occur. When mounting the actuator to the driven device the
actuator shafts and couplings must align properly.
If the actuator is installed in a vertical position, manually stroke it to allow the stem connection to self-align. Securely tighten the
mounting connection. Visually inspect the stem for any noticeable indication of bending.
For all other orientations, support the actuator in a manner so that there is no noticeable indication of stem bending. Securely tighten the
mating connection. Manually stroke the actuator and carefully observe the stem for any evidence of lateral (side to side) misalignment.
DRIVE
Drive units can create an extraordinary amount of force. Any misalignment of the drive/driven arms, or incorrect linkage
arrangements, can cause damage to the actuator or the driven device. All mechanical connections and stroke limits should be set
carefully and inspected.

To install a Spring Fail unit, position the spring lever to the 45° location by extending the spring stop as shown in Figure 5.4. Rotate the
driven device to the required failure position. Adjust the spring stop to allow mating of the shafts and alignment of the mounting bolts.
Once mounted, the spring stops should be adjusted to a position that transfers torque onto the driven device at the fail position.
Note: Each actuator is tested and shipped from the factory with the thread seal and jam nut lightly torqued—enough to seal during
factory acceptance testing. This procedure assures that the sealing rubber is undamaged and will properly seal once the stroke adjustor is
fully adjusted in the field by the end user, and the threaded elements are firmly tightened to full torque.
1. Position the actuator in the desired final fail position slightly beyond the calibrated end stop. This can be done when
calibrating PL and PH.
Note: Failure to follow this step will lead to a potential situation where the electronics may try to drive the actuator beyond its
physical limit, and a stall condition will result.
4. Locate the hydraulic fitting (1) connected directly to the stroke adjuster cylinder cap as shown in Figure 5.5. Loosen this
fitting to allow oil to escape during this adjustment process.
5. Loosen the jam nut (Figure 5.5.1-2) by turning counterclockwise. Back off this jam nut 4 to 5 turns and move the countersunk
washer away from the thread seal and against the repositioned jam nut.
6. Using light oil and a small brush or squirt can, generously lubricate the thread seal rubber and the threads of the adjustment screw.
7. Carefully pry the thread seal washer away from the end cap and then pull and twist it back and forth to carefully slide it
along the adjustment screw threads to gain adjustment clearance.
8. The actuator stroke adjustment can now be made using the threaded adjustment rod. This rod has a hollow hex in the end
to allow easy adjustment.
WARNING: As the stroke adjusters are turned in, fluid will be displaced and need to leak out of the system. Failure to exhaust
fluid will damage internal components of the actuator.
9. The actuator is shipped from the factory with this adjustment rod threaded fully out to the end of travel to give the full
rotation of the actuator. The adjustment screw can only be rotated clockwise (inward) from this shipped position.
Caution: A mechanical lock at the end of the threads restricts inadvertent disassembly outward. Rotating the adjustment screw
counterclockwise (outward) from this end position may cause damage to the hardware.
10. Use an allen wrench drive inserted into the hollow hex adjustment screw end to adjust the stroke adjustor. Rotate clockwise
to decrease the stroke of the actuator. Each stroke adjustor provides a minimum of 5 degrees of actuator rotation adjustment.
11. The number of adjustment screw rotations needed to achieve the 5 degree rotational adjustment of the actuator depends
on the size (model) of the actuator and the pitch of the adjustment thread on the adjustment screw. The Table 5.5.1 shows
this relationship.
5. Start-Up Considerations
39 5. Start-Up Considerations
13. Reposition the countersunk washer and the jam nut and torque the jam nut to the requirements of the Table 5.5.1.
The unit is shipped from the factory with the stroke adjuster positioned at the full outward position as described above. Adjustment
is made by disconnecting the hydraulic line to vent out any displaced fluid, loosening the jam nut several turns counter clockwise
and then using the square drive to position the adjuster to provide the desired actuator stop position. The total adjustment range
is 5 degrees minimum. Table 5.5.1 shows the adjustment achieved from one turn of the adjuster.
The jam nut is repositioned after adjustment is complete and torqued to the final tightness value specified.

NOTE: The Xpac Series 3 controller detects any auxiliary components which may be included with the system. If a
component is not part of the REXA system, then the associated control parameter will be absent from the menu.
If the REXA does not have a Booster Pump assembly then the “Boost Offpt” parameter will not be visible.
Deadband sets the maximum deviation allowed between the input signal and actuator position before a corrective movement is made.
Deadband should be set to a value appropriate for the process being controlled. Ensure that the actuator is reacting to actual signal
changes as required and not just reacting to noise in the control signal itself.
Gain determines how motor speed is adjusted as the actuator approaches the target position. The higher the Gain setting, the
closer the actuator will get to the target position before decelerating. With a lower Gain setting, the actuator will begin decelerating
further away from the target position. This parameter is factory set to an ideal value for the actuator model configuration. It may be
changed if the application warrants it.
Range: 1 to 999
Note: If set, this parameter will function in AUTO and MANUAL mode. It is not visible in the menu if Signal Type is set to 1 Cont. or 2 Cont.
Bumpless (Bumpless Transfer) is a safeguard to prevent unwanted actuator movement when returning from MANUAL or SETUP mode
into AUTO mode. With the Bumpless parameter turned on, the actuator will wait for operator intervention before following the control
signal if the actuator position was moved manually or the control signal changed. To clear Bumpless, the operator must move the
actuator to within 5% of the new control signal or change the control signal to be within 5% the new actuator position. The adjustment
must be made within the set Deadband for the actuator to return to following the control signal.
This parameter only appears in the menu if the Signal Type is set to Analog or 1 Contact. See INPUTS and DRIVES menu.
Sol. Seat (Solenoid Seating) uses software to allow the stored energy of the fail-safe spring or accumulator (if equipped) to seat the
valve. This feature is only available on fail-safe actuators where the fail-safe direction is the same as the valve seating direction. In
such applications, this feature eliminates the need for an elastic coupling or a seat load cylinder.
Note: Solenoid Seat is not visible in the menu if seat load cylinder is configured.
Cal. Stroke (Calibrated Stroke) is used when configuring the Sol. Seat function. Calibrated Stroke defines the valve/driven device
stroke so the system can determine when to open the fail-safe solenoid and allow the spring of accumulator to seat the valve.
Max Hi Spd (Maximum High Speed) defines the maximum motor speed when operating in AUTO mode.
Default = Off
When 2-Speed is off, Maximum High Speed defines the maximum motor speed when in AUTO mode.
When 2-Speed is set to Bkpt, Max Lo Spd and Speed Bkpt are added to the menu.
Max Lo Spd (Maximum Low Speed) defines the maximum speed between Position Lo and the Spd Bkpt.
Range: 5 to 125% percent of maximum specified motor speed. Cannot be greater than Max Hi Spd.
Spd Bkpt (Speed Breakpoint) defines a break point to determine when to use Max Lo Spd or Max Hi Spd.
When 2-Speed = Up/Dn, MaxHi Spd is changed to Max Up Spd and Max Dn Spd is introduced to the menu. and defines maximum
motor speed as the actuator moves toward Position Hi.
Max Up Spd (Maximum Up Speed defines the maximum motor speed when moving toward Position Hi.
Max Dn Spd (Maximum Down Speed defines the maximum motor speed when moving toward Position Lo.
Max Man Spd (Maximum Manual Speed) defines the maximum motor speed when operating in SETUP mode.
Signal Type defines the control signal the actuator will respond to in AUTO mode.
Note: 1 Cont and 2 Cont are only included in the INPUTS menu if a contact board is installed
When Signal Type = Analog, the main control signal is the 4-20 mA analog input. This selection provides the full modulating
capability of the actuator.
When Signal Type = 1 Cont (one contact), two position on/closed operation—open/closed is selected. The applied signal defines
actuator position. If the Open input is active (powered), the actuator goes to Position Hi. If the Open input is not active (un-
powered), the actuator goes to Position Lo.
When Signal Type = 2 Cont (two contacts), manual modulation operation is selected. The main input signals are the contacts Open and
Close of the contact input board. If both inputs are active or inactive, the actuator remains in position. If only the Open input is active,
the actuator moves toward Position Hi. If only the Close input is active, the actuator moves toward Position Lo.
Note: The actuator will continue to move in desired direction as long as a signal is present or until the target position is reached.
Failsafe defines the position the actuator moved to, via the motor, if the analog control signal falls below 2.5 mA. Only if Signal Type
– Analog.
Select:
Trip defines the active state of the trip signal input on the interconnect board. This input is used to override the control signal input
to cause actuator movement via the spring or accumulator. This fail-safe mechanism is factory configured to either end of stroke
or rotation. It is not field reversible.
Power On parameter defines the mode the electronics will be in when main power is applied.
When Power On = Last, on power up or reset, the actuator will return to its previous operating mode (AUTO, MANUAL or SETUP).
When Power On = Local, on power up or reset, if the previous mode was AUTO, the actuator will enter MANUAL (Local) mode.
Boost Offpt is the deviation between current position and control signal for the booster pump to turn off or on. It can be set
between 0.1% to 75% of calibrated span
Surge Bkpt {Surge Breakpoint} defines minimum deviation (in percent of calibrated span) between current position and the new
target position where a surge solenoid will operate. When the deviation exceeds the set value, the surge relay output is activated
and kept active until the current position matches the current control signal.
Surge Offpt {Surge Offpoint} defines the distance away from the new target position in which the surge solenoid is reenergized during
a surge event – effectively stopping the actuator movement. On systems with high speed trips this allows the REXA electronics to
change states of the solenoid to anticipate hitting the new target position and eliminate overshoot during a surge event.
If an actuator is equipped with an online-recharge accumulator or a spring fail-safe, the following five parameters are in the menu:
Surge Dir {Surge Direction} is displayed whenever Surge Bkpt is set to any value other than off. Surge Direction is settable to either to PL
(Position Low), or PH (Position High) which specifies the direction of action. PLPH is used for bi-directional accumulator surge control.
Rechrg Pres {Recharge Pressure} adjusts the pressure level at which an accumulator recharge cycle will end. Factory set in # (psi),
from Warn Pres + 200 up to Warn Pres + 3000 psi.
Warn Pres {Warning Pressure} adjusts the pressure at which an accumulator low pressure warning is issued. Factory set from 1000
psi up to 2800 psi.
Note: The warning relay deactivates, and the status display will indicate Pres Low when the accumulator pressure drops below the value
set in Warn Pres.
Rechrg Time {Recharge Time} adjusts the maximum time allowed for a recharge cycle to complete. A recharge cycle ends when either the
Rechrg Pres setting is reached or the Rechrg Time expires. In either case, the actuator resumes tracking the control signal.
Inplace- Unit will not fail on loss of power, only trip input.
Accum Dir (Accumulator Direction) defines the direction the accumulator will move the actuator a power loss of trip event. This
parameter is factory. Its only purpose is to inform the REXA electronics as to which direction to operate the motor during a recharge
cycle after a trip. Accumulator fail-safe direction is not field reversible.
Accum Pres (Accumulator Pressure): This parameter cannot be set. It is the “live” pressure reading from the accumulator pressure
transducer.
Units: # (psi)
If an actuator is configured with an online-recharge accumulator or a spring fail-safe, the following parameters are in the menu:
PST Target is added to the drives menu if PST is set to anything other than ‘Off’. Options are position from 95.0% to 50.1%, incremented
by .1%. Cannot be set less than PST Off Point.
PST Offpt is added to the drives menu if PST is set to anything other than ‘off”. Options are less “Off” or 95.1% to 50.2%. Value must be
higher than “PST Target”. PST Time is added to the drives menu if PST is set to anything other than “off”. Options 1 to 150 seconds
PST Time is added to the drives menu if PST is set to anything other than “off.” Options 1 - 150 seconds.
PST Inc {PST Increment} is added to the drives menu if PST is set to anything other than “off”. Options are “off” 0.1% to 1%.
PST Max Target is added to the drive’s menu if PST Inc is on. PST Max Target = 50.0 to 90.0% settable range, not greater than PST
Target.
PST Signal Deviation is the signal deviation from 100% to a new PST target position. This allows the analog control line to control the
actuator and avoids running a second PST command cable. Control signal deviation is used to initiate a PST cycle.
PST Auto Sch is only viewable if the auto schedule has to be turn on. Settable from 24 to 999 hours… PST will run automatically on
schedule from every 24hr. to 999hr
Delta Warn is active when pressure exceeds setting value. When it is active Warn Relay is active, the actuator will still modulate
normally.
Units: # (psi)
Delta Alarm is active when the pressure exceeds setting value. When it is active Alarm Relay is active, motor(s) are stopped, the
actuator can only move in the direction that relieves the alarm pressure.
Units: # (psi)
Rdnt CPU defines if the REXA system is equipped with redundant CPU’s. Redundant CPU configured, BACKUP CPU modulates with
5% DEADBAND, MAIN CPU controls all moves < 5% deviation. When Main CPU in Alarm, BACKUP CPU will take role of MAIN CPU and
reduces Deadband to parameter setting in CONTROL Menu.
When redundant is selected in the menu a new parameter is available in the Calibration menu called “Linearize”
Calibration process:
2. Move the actuator to 50% and record the delta between the position read outs on the two electronic displays
3. Go to calibrate menu in the redundant electronics and enter the delta recorded into the linearize parameter.
The redundant electronics will drop the decimal place on the position/feedback display when it’s acting as a redundant system.
When the redundant actuator changes to the primary the decimal digit will return to the display.
Relay #2 defines the point in % of calibrated stroke at which relay output 2 is active. The relay will be active when the actuator
position is = or > the value set in Relay #2
Display = Dir/Rev allows the position display to be reverse acting with position open and direct acting with position closed (i.e.
100%=closed instead of 100%=open).
Pos Xmitter {Position Transmitter} defines the action of the position transmitter output as being direct acting, Dir or reverse acting,
Rev.
Xmitter Low (Transmitter Low) is the parameter to calibrate the output of the 4-20 mA Position Transmitter.
To calibrate the 4mA Zero, Set a digital multi-meter, DMM, to read milliamps (mA) DC. Connect the DMM to the Position Transmitter
Output. Connect the Red lead of the DMM to the LOOP OUT terminal. Connect the black lead of the DMM to LOOP INT RTN terminal.
Press Enter to access this setting. The Value displayed on the REXA display corresponds to Digital bits. Each increment or decrement of 4
bits and will increment or decrement the current output by one micro-amp (1 µA). The acceptable range for Xmitter Lo is 3.9 to 4.1 mA.
Note: The Position Transmitter will output the mA signal that corresponds to the actuators current position until the Enter button is pressed
and the “=” sign is flashing. When the “=” sign is flashing, the output will change to the “Zero” or Lo Calibration value.
Xmitter Hi (Transmitter Hi) is the parameter to calibrate the Output span of the 4-20 mA Position Transmitter.
To calibrate the 20 mA Span, Set a digital multi-meter, DMM, to read milliamps (mA) DC. Connect the DMM to the Position Transmitter
Output. Connect the Red lead of the DMM to the LOOP OUT terminal. Connect the black lead of the DMM to LOOP INT RTN terminal.
Press Enter to access this setting. The Value displayed on the REXA display corresponds to Digital bits. Each increment or decrement
is steps of 4 bits and will increment or decrement the current output by one micro-amp (1 mA).
Note: The Position Transmitter will output the mA signal that corresponds to the actuators current position until the Enter button is pressed
and the “=” sign is flashing. When the “=” sign is flashing, the output will change to the “Span” or Hi Calibration value.
Once the position transmitter calibration is complete, there is no need to re-calibrate the transmitter for changes in actuator span.
Changing the actuator span will cause the transmitter span to automatically re-calibrate its output.
Password defines the password required to enter the SETUP mode in order to change any control parameters. The default value of
00000 indicates no password is required. If a value is entered into Password other than the default value, future entry into Setup
mode will require that the user enter the Password value prior to gaining access to the Setup menus.
The error counters are provided as an aid to diagnosing a problem. They are particularly useful in identifying intermittent problems
since they record ALL instances of detected errors, rather than just those which result in an “alarmed” condition. They are also useful
in identifying problems associated with actuator “tuning”.
Error counters generally operate only in AUTO mode. Errors detected in SETUP are not recorded. Usage indicators only record in
AUTO mode.
The CURRENT STATS error counters and usage indicators may be reset to zero by the following;
Note: If the Up key is pressed prior to step 3, the old count is returned to the display and will be retained if the Enter key is then pressed.
Note: See Appendix F. Errors and Error Displays for more information.

Successive presses of the UP key step the display through the SETUP Menu from CURRENT STATS. A 5-second timer reverts the display back to
current Position parameter if no keys presses are detected. Holding the key depressed displays the current parameter indefinitely.
Control Sig {Live Control Signal} (Field 4) identifies the value of the Analog Control Signal. The display is 0 -100 % for easy comparison
with the Position display.
Control Sig = ‘None’(Field 5):, when parameter Signal TYPE does not equal Analog.
Low when current signal is more than 0.5% below Signal Lo.
0-100% Active 4-20 mA signal is applied and is in between Signal Lo and Signal Hi.

The coupling provides a visual indication of compression (seat load) and should be compressed to its rated mark when the driven
device is at the end of travel. At that point, the load on the driven device is approximately the net rated output of the actuator.
Lower rated couplings are available for applications that require reduced seat load.
The force indicator on the elastic coupling is a pin captured in a slot on the side of the coupling. As the coupling compresses, the
pin slides in the slot. A scribed line marks the rated output position.
Note: The output of each coupling may be verified through the pressure gauges.
Note: To translate pressure gauge readings into actuator output, use the following formula:
The Seat Loading Cylinder utilizes a pre-compressed load equivalent to 80% (1 600 psi) of the nominal working pressure (2 000 psi). As
the power modulepumps hydraulic fluid into the actuator cylinder, the output shaft will begin to extend. Once the force on the extension
shaft reached the preset 80% of the actuator’s rated output, the pressure in the top of the actuator cylinder will reach the limit that begins
to compress the spring on the seat load cylinder. This will occur when the driven device reaches its end of stroke. As the pressure builds
within the actuator cylinder, oil flows into the SLC, designated by the high pressure flow arrow and retracts the SLC shaft. When the spring
is compressed to the full nominal working pressure, the position feedback of the SLC will trigger the power module to shut off. The rated
actuator output is now applied to the driven device and retained within the cylinders by the Flow Matching Valves.
The feedback connection is made directly to the screw terminals on the feedback printed circuit board. Remove the four cap screws
cover using care not to damage the internal components. Feed the cable through the ½ inch NPT opening. Wiring connection is
made directly to the feedback printed circuit board per Figure B.3.2. Replace the cover on the cylinder and securely fasten. Refer
to the Electrical Installation section.
B.5 Calibration
Operation of the actuator is the same as a unit with an elastic coupling. The only difference is at the
Seated Position. Instead of compressing a coupling, the spring on the SLC is compressed until the
indicator on the SLC leg is at the seated point. See Figure B.5-1.
Position Lo is set by moving the stem to the corresponding Signal Low Extend Position. Signal low
position is the “SEAT” position. The seat load cylinder flag must line up with the “SEAT” indicator mark
on the spring housing cover. The “SEAT” indicator mark is factory set for each application. The preset
tension of the spring should not be changed without consulting the REXA factory.
With Position Lo on the display, press the (E)NTER key. = will begin to blink. Using the Scroll Up and
Scroll Down keys, position the actuator to the desired point and press (E)NTER again. The displayed Figure B.5-1
value will be recorded as the Position Low endpoint. SLC Indicator–Seated
Position Hi is set by moving the stem to the corresponding Signal High, Retract Position.
Position Hi is set by moving the stem to the corresponding Signal High Extend position.
Reset Switch
With Position Hi on the display, press the (E)NTER key. = will begin to blink. Using the
Scroll Up and Scroll Down keys, position the actuator to the desired Extend point and
press (E)NTER again. The displayed value will be recorded as the Position Hi endpoint.
When calibration is complete, and before returning to “AUTO” mode, depress the
RESET button located on the top of the REXA CPU board. This will set the new seated
value as the SLC target. See Figure B.5-2.
The Standard Accumulator Fail-Safe is identified by a blue solenoid (see figure C1).

C1.3 Recharging
The recharge cycle will only occur if:
1. The CPU is in the Auto mode when power is restored after a loss of power or removal of trip signal,
And
If the CPU is NOT in Auto mode when power is restored or trip signal is removed, the unit must be placed in Auto and the reset
button MUST be pushed.
IMPORTANT: All actuators are shipped in the failed or tripped condition. The actuator may initially power up in Setup
mode. With the trip signal inactive (or not connected), put the actuator in Auto then either press the reset button or
cycle power off and back on. The actuator will go through a fail cycle, a re-charge cycle and then return to following
the control signal. If this operation is not performed, the actuator will follow the control signal, but the accumulator
will remain uncharged, rendering the actuator incapable of performing a trip or fail operation. However, a low
pressure warning will indicate insufficient pressure to perform a fail operation.
They must be in this position for normal operation of the actuator. To use the
handwheel during a power off or trip situation both solenoid override levers
must be moved to position B.
Once both overrides are moved to position B, the handwheel may be operated
in a normal manner (Refer to Appendix M, Manual Operators). After handwheel
use, and prior to returning the actuator to normal service, (power restored or trip
signal removed) both solenoid override levers must be returned to position A. Figure C1.4-1 Solenoid Manual
Override Levers (Position A)
NOTE: When returning the levers to the normal open position the actuator will
stroke in the trip direction.
C1.5 Discharging
There will be times that it is necessary to fully discharge the oil-side of the
accumulator system; such as when maintenance is being performed. To perform Figure C1.4-2 Solenoid Manual
this task, do the following: Override Levers (Position B)
2. If the unit is fail-in-place during power loss, place both solenoid valves in position B as shown in Figure C1.4-2.
3. Open the manual bypass located on the front face of the module. Refer to Figure C1.5.

If the system is tripped with a trip signal, the system will recharge the accumulator as soon as the actuator has reached its trip
position; this allows the system to readily modulate after removal of the trip signal.
After a trip condition, the Online Recharge Accumulator drives the accumulator to the fail direction to charge the accumulator. The
solenoid is always closed (energized) and both the power and the recharge modules participate in driving the motor towards the
fail direction and in recharging the accumulator.
During normal operation, if the accumulator pressure falls below Rechrg Pres -100 psi, the online recharge module pumps the oil
from the reservoir to top off the accumulator pressure to the proper recharge pressure set by Rechrg Pres.
Rechrg Pres, Warn Pres, Rechrg Time, Power Fail, Accum Dr and Accum Pres.
C2.3 Recharging
There are two conditions where the recharge cycle will occur as follows:
Condition 1 - The CPU is in the Auto mode when power is restored after loss of power or removal of trip signal AND the pressure
transducer output is less than the Rechrg Pres - 100 psi.
Note: Under this condition, both the Power and the Online Recharge Modules will participate in the recharge of the accumulator.
Condition 2 – When in Auto Mode and the accumulator pressure drops below Rechrg Pres - 100 psi, the Online Recharge Module
will recharge the accumulator. Module will recharge the accumulator. In the Auto Mode, pressing the reset button will momentarily
move the actuator to the Fail Direction and turn on both the Power and Recharge Modules to recharge the accumulator if the
accumulator pressure is less than the Rechrg Pres - 100 psi.
2. Unlock the Trip Speed Control Valve (Item 2) by turning the 9/16 jam nut counter clockwise. With a 5/32 Allen wrench, turn
the adjustment knob clockwise completely in to shut off the valve. Note the number of turns in.
3. Open the bypass on the Recharge Module (Item 3) for 10 seconds to equalize the pressures within the solenoid valve
manifold. After 10 seconds, close the bypass.
The system is now ready for operation with either the hand wheel/drill drive or the manual pump (see figure...). After the manual
override operations are complete, return the system to its normal operation by opening the shut-off valve (Item 1) and setting the
Trip Speed Control Valve (Item 2) to its original open position.
WARNING! If there is NO power to the solenoid, opening the shut-off valve (Item 1) will connect the actuator to high pressure.
Opening the Trip Speed Control Valve (Item 2) to its original position will move the actuator towards the Fail Direction. To
ensure the system does not trip to the Fail Direction, ensure that there is power to the solenoid.
C2.5 Discharging
There will be times when it is necessary to fully discharge the oil-side of the accumulator system; such as when performing
maintenance. For the Online Recharge Accumulator, one of two steps can be done to discharge the accumulator pressure.
Note: Discharging using the manual bypass (item 3) on the online recharge module will not move the acuator.
a. Remove power to the actuator to fail the unit in the Trip Condition.
b. Open the bypass (item 3) on the online recharge module. Refer to Figure C2.5-2. The accumulator pressure will discharge
into the reservoir bottle. When the Accumulator gauge reads 0 psi, all accumulator pressure has been completely
discharged.
c. Open the bypass (item 3) on the online recharge module. Refer to Figure C2.5-2. The accumulator pressure will discharge
into the reservoir bottle. When the accumulator gauge reads 0 psi, all accumulator pressure has been completely discharged.
Two sizes of BOOSTER PUMPS are available: the P9 and the P40. The P9 is used in combination with the D size power module to
provide 5 times the capacity of a D size power module or 2.5 GPM. A P40 with D size power module has the pumping capacity for
11 GPM.
Important!
• Motor power and motor resolver cables for the power module and booster pump motors must be shielded! The shield of
each is connected to the green ground screw on the back panel of the control enclosure only.
• The motor resolver signals are low level voltages. The motor resolver cables must be kept separate from the motor power
cables or any other high power wiring. However, the resolver cables may be run with the feedback cable or other low
power conductors.
• Failure to follow the above may inhibit the proper operation of the actuator.
Once connected the GUI will display all pertinent information related to the selected actuator. Details shown are: model number,
tag number, commission date, device clock, software version, duration and signal strength.

The CPU will deenergize/energize the solenoid through the electronic relay to allow controlled high speed motion in the spring
direction. Control of this feature is accomplished with the Surge Breakpoint (SG) parameter in the Setup menu.
If the change in control signal is less than the Surge Breakpoint, the actuator operates normally. If the change in control signal is greater than
the Surge Breakpoint (and in the surge motion direction), then the solenoid opens and the actuator is driven by the spring to the new position.
If the actuator is overshooting during a surge event, the Surge Offpt parameter can be used to eliminate this overshoot. Reference
the Drive Menu section in Modes of Operation & Control Parameters in the IOM for additional information regarding setting the
Surge Offpt parameter. Increasing this Surge Offpt parameter will reduce the overshoot until the unit begins to slow down too
much prior to hitting its target position. Figure G.1-1 illustrates the overshoot from a surge event. Increasing the Surge Offpt would
be required to eliminate this issue. Figure G.1-2 shows the expected results when the Surge Offpt parameter is tuned properly.
Figure G.1-3 shows an undershoot condition. Decreasing the Surge Offpt percentage will reduce the undershoot.
Various configurations of the spring package may have been provided. The spring may be installed to open or close the driven
device. Fail-safe position can either be lock in place or in the surge direction.
Figure G.1-1 Overshoot Figure G.1-2 Target position Figure G.1-3 Undershoot
G.2 Installation
The fast response solenoid is a 3-way configuration and piped external to the hydraulic cylinder. An adjustable needle valve is in
line with the solenoid to allow custom adjustment of the surge speed to meet a particular installation. The wires used for the surge
solenoid are a pair of blue wires in the module cable. Refer to certified electrical drawing for wiring details.
G.3 Calibration
Refer to the Control & DRIVES menu for additional information.
H. Build Numbers
The build number is a catalog number REXA uses to designate in complete detail the construction of the actuator. From this number
all configurations can be defined. There are two different categories of build numbers; one is for the mechanical sub-assembly,
and the second is for it’s corresponding electronics sub-assembly. Within the mechanical sub-assembly there is a build number for
Rotary and Drive Actuators, and a separate build number for Linear Actuators.

M. Manual Operators
The Xpac has two types of manual operators available: Declutchable Handwheel / Drill Drive and Manual Hydraulic Pump. Since
both options utilize our hydraulic circuit for override operation, they will only function if the system is in working order.
CAUTION: Before attempting to operate any manual override feature, make sure that the electric power is OFF.
Handwheel Revolutions
Power Module B C, ½D D
Linear (To move one inch per 1 000 lb of rated thrust) ~75 ~25 ~13
Rotary (90° of rotation/1 000 lb·in of rated torque) ~200 ~65 ~33
Figure M.1-1 Handwheel Assembly Figure M.1-2 Drill Drive Figure M.1-3 Drill Drive with Drill
M.1.2 Declutchable Drill Drive
The drill drive is part of the handwheel assembly that can be used on standard B, C, 1/2D, and D power modules rated for hazardous
but non-explosion proof environments to drive the unit. The handwheel can be removed by simply pulling on it to expose a 5/16”
hex drive. To operate, connect an appropriate drill to the 5/16” hex. Push the drive in and turn. One half-revolution may be required
before proper engagement, since the drive must contact a slot on the end of the motor shaft. Clockwise rotation of the manual
operator will retract the stem on a linear unit and rotate the shaft clockwise (looking at the feedback housing) on a rotary unit. The
drive will declutch by moving outwards when released.
Note: The actuator’s drive train and cylinder must be in proper working order to operate handwheel/drill drive.
CAUTION: Care must be taken to ensure the drill gun is limited to 2 000 rpm. Running into a mechanical stop using a
drill may damage the actuator and potentially the equipment it is attached to. As the actuator nears the end point,
decrease drill speed so damage doesn’t occur.
To operate the manual hydraulic pump, insert lever into the piston assembly and pump the handle up and down. To reverse the
actuator direction, either push in or pull out the black, direction control knob located on the bottom of the assembly.
Note: It is not advisable to leave the lever in the piston assembly when the hydraulic pump is not in use.
In order for manual operation, solenoids must be in position B for normally open solenoids. Manually override them so they appear
as shown in Figure M.3.
M. Manual Operators
M-3 M. Manual Operators
To manually override the second generation of high speed solenoids follow the below steps.
3. Turn the needle valve adjustment knob clockwise to close. This will keep the solenoid valve closed without power and will allow
use of the manual hydraulic pump.
*Note: Count and record how many turns are needed to fully turn the needle valve adjustment knob clockwise to close. This quantity
will be used to reset the needle valve adjustment knob to the same position, retaining its factory-set trip speed as specified by the
customer.
WARNING: After using the handwheel, the overrides must be returned to their open position or the unit will not
operate correctly when power is restored or trip signal removed. If only one override is returned to the open position
after a trip, damage to the power module may occur. Changing the override(s) back may also cause the actuator to
run to the fail-safe position.

3. PRODUCT SCOPE
REXA provides device setup, monitoring and diagnostic information about the actuator through HART technology over the analog
control signal input to the actuator. The analog control signal is the only way to remotely move/control the actuator. The following
functions are supported:
Identification
• Display general actuator information such as actuator model, tag identification, actuator serial number and software/
hardware/HART version information.
Configuration
• View and update the actuator configuration parameters. *
Monitor
• View dynamic variables in real time such as Control Signal, Position, Torque / Thrust and Accumulator Pressure
Status
• View real time status and specific warning or alarm details
Diagnosis
• View the alarm and warning current and historic counters
• Display actuator Start / Stroke counters
Mode
• Display device operational modes such as setup, manual and auto modes.
*Note: No parameters can be written into the actuator unless that actuator is in calibration mode.
4. PRODUCT INTERFACES
4.1. Host interface
Through DD (Device Descriptor) technology, REXA provides users rich menu contents through host HART application. Each host application
PLC, Field Communicator and Asset Management Software application will have its own look, feel and screen navigation however the
content shown in this manual should all be available. Some of host software platform’s utilize iDTM or DTM frame technology to organize
the DD information into their applications format. These systems typically have a built-in translation function however the HOST system
support team will be responsible for handling the DD integration. Rexa does not supply a vendor specific DTM file. This manual shows
examples of numerous host applications to illustrate examples of the functionality, however the host system has final control of the way
in which the information is displayed and controlled on the console screen.
There are multiple ways Host programs can handle the integration of a field device (Rexa Actuator).
When a field device is connected to a HART Host and there are no device driver files installed the Host system will communicate
using HART “Universal” and “Common Practice Commands”. The screen shot below provides an example. Variable are listed as “PV” –
Primary variable, “SV” Secondary Variable, “TV” – Tertiary Variable, “QV” Quaternary Variable.
When a field device is connected to a HART Host and there are “DD” files installed the Host system will communicate using device
specific Commands. The screen shots below provides an example of how the information will be presented in a GUI format with the
correct variable labels and units.
Without the use of the DD and iDTM technology formed GUI screens as shown below would just be presented as a data file.
Picture 1 and 2 illustrate the factory and customer control signal connections.
X3 Interconnect Board
It is recommended to use high quality cable meeting the following requirements as a minimum:
Write is only allowed in setup mode. To write a parameter, the value of the parameter needs to be modified and may also need to
be highlighted, and a send or apply button has to be clicked to send its value to the device.
Host HART application allows user to get an overview of the device through online menus or navigation windows provide in the
host application. While the device is Online the parameters are greyed out and can not be modified. In order to modify parameters,
the device must be put into setup Mode.
At the setup page, the parameters in white is writable while the ones in grey are read-only.
To satisfy user’s convenience, REXA treat short tag as a part of the long tag.
The actuator can be in auto, manual, or setup modes. It is settable through HART command and the front panel.
Further clicking on “Servo Detailed Status” on diagnostics page, user can get Servo Motor Detailed Status information:
Also, by clicking on “Alarm/Warning and Start/Stroke Counters” on the diagnostic page, user can navigate to the counter page:
To get updated counters, user can click on the “Get Counters” button, and further click on “OK” on the question of “Read All The
Counters Now?”
For example, the HART probes of Emerson 475 can be connected to 4-20mA control signal
two wires that are connected to X3 and read X3’s control signal settings through generic DD
as shown below:
6. DYNAMIC VARIABLES
This device uses dynamic variable mapping based on system configurations. In X3 device, the following mapping is typical. When
Torque/Thrust and/or Accumulator are not available, position 2 and/or pressure 2 can be mapped to the dynamic variables. The
position 2 and pressure 2 can be a fixed value used for testing purpose
6.2. Position
This variable is the current position of the actuator and is displayed in percentage of the actuators calibrated span.
6.4. Accumulator
4~20mA accumulator pressure signal represents the pressure from 0 to 3000psi.
7. STATUS INFORMATION
7.1. Device Status
Bit 4 (“More Status Available”) is contained in each communication package being sent from the actuator to the host. This is set to 1
whenever any status bit is detected. Command #48 gives further detail.

O.2 Identification
Each valve has a pressure label sticker indicating its range of adjustment. The range corresponds to the spring installed under the
adjustment cap as noted in Table O.2
Table O.2 Adjustment Range
Adjustment Range (psi) 2,250-3,000
Spring Color Brown (Std)
Standard springs are 2,250 – 3,000 psi unless specified otherwise. The limiting cartridge is then factory set to 2,300 – 2,400 psi. To
translate pressure into actuator output, use the following formula:
( )(
Pressure Gauge Reading × Actuator Rated Output = Actual Output
2,000 psi ) [ ]
The pressure gauge reading can be obtained from the corresponding pressure gauge shown in Figure O.2. This value should be the
delta between the two gauges when calculating actual output.
O.3 Adjustment:
• Loosen the lock nut while holding the adjustment cap in place.
• While running the actuator in a hard stop, read the corresponding gauge to the valve that is being adjusted.
• Turn the adjustment cap CW to increase the relief pressure and CCW to decrease the relief pressure.
Note: The adjustment cap does not have a hard stop and will unthread.
• Tighten lock nut against the cap to 100 lb·in (11 N·m) and test
set pressure.

Contact Inputs
Note: Refer to the Inputs menu, Signal Type parameter in the Modes of Operation & Control Parameters section.
Q.1 Signal Input Range
Voltage: OFF: 0 to 8 volts, AC or DC
ON: 22 to 120 volts, AC or DC
Undefined: 8 to 22 volts, AC or DC
Current: OFF: Less than 1 mA
ON: 1.8 mA to 10 mA; proportional to voltage
Impedance: 12K ohms
Electromechanical or solid state switching devices may be used to activate the control signal. The following points should be observed:
Q.2 1 Cont
The single contact ( 1 Cont ) option of controlling the actuator is for ON/OFF applications. A live voltage is applied to the Contact
Inputs Board.
When Signal Type = 1 Cont (one contact), “two position” operation—open/closed position—is selected. The applied signal defines
actuator position. If the Open input is active (powered), the actuator goes to Position Hi. If the Open input is not active (un-
powered), the actuator goes to Position Lo.
Note: Actuator will continue to move in desired direction as long as a signal is present or until target is reached.
Q.3 2 Cont
The dual contact ( 2 Cont ) option of controlling the actuator is for manual modulation control, using two signals. Two live voltages
are applied to the Contact Inputs Board.
When Signal Type = 2 Cont (two contacts), “manual modulation” operation is selected. The main input signals are the Main contacts Open and
Close inputs of the Contact Input Board. If both inputs are active or inactive, the actuator remains in its current position. If only the Open input
is active, the actuator travels towards Position Hi. If only input Close is active, the actuator travels towards Position Lo.
Note: Actuator will continue to move in desired direction as long as a signal is present or until target is reached.
RemoteMan allows the actuator to operate manually from a remote location. Once the Remote Manual mode is entered, the current
status will be displayed along with Position.
The RemoteMan mode is only accessible if the Contacts Input board is installed on top of the CPU. Refer to certified drawing for
wiring details.
The RemoteMan mode will be entered when the MAN Input of the Remote Auto/MAN Inputs is activated. The actuator is then
controlled by activating the Open or Close Inputs of the Remote Auto/MAN Input.
S.1 General
This REXA Actuator is a Type A device with a hardware fault tolerance (HFT) of 0. It has a safety trip function designed to meet
or exceed IEC 61508 requirements for a SIL 3 capable designed process. The actuator is verified to withstand the worst expected
environmental conditions listed in the IOM and specification sheet. This chapter covers the operating requirements for the end user
to ensure their system operates safely in accordance with the rated SIL level. The time in which an actuator will transition into a safe
state is defined as the time required to trip on the REXA data sheet. This transition time must be reviewed against the process safety
time to insure this product is appropriate for the application.
Any deviation to installation, operation or maintenance will void the IEC61508 SIL certification and may impact the actuator’s ability
to operate safely. All product failures should be reported to REXA. The FMEDA report for failure rates, failure modes, and proof
test information can be found in the REXA report KOS 13-10-03 R0001, titled FMEDA REXA, Xpac. An example of the system and
application environment in which the product will be embedded once delivered is shown in the following drawing.
1. The actuator must to be calibrated to the driven device; refer to the Mechanical and Electrical installation section of this manual.
2. The actuator end points need to be set. Reference the section of this IOM on setting mechanical end stops.
3.3. This system is designed to full stroke at the rate shown on the provided actuator data sheet provided for this specific order.
3.4. The actuator’s useful life is 10 years based on the provided duty cycle. After recommended seal maintenance the actuators’
useful life is 20 years.
3.5. The REXA Actuator is available in normally open or normally closed ESD configurations.
3.6. A 24 hour mean time to repair should be assumed for safety availability calculations.
S.4 Safety Critical Components
4.1. Definition - Some of the components on this actuator are identified as safety critical. If the failure of any component would
inhibit the safety function of this REXA Actuator it is deemed a Safety critical component.
4.2. Only OEM supplied replacement parts can be used as suitable replacement parts for any component identified as Safety critical.
4.3. This actuator was supplied to meet a strict number of specifications and may not be modified in the field.
S.5 System Diagnostics
5.1. Built into the REXA CPU are numerous diagnostics that can be found in the error codes section of this IOM. These error
codes must be monitored by the safety system through an alarm relay. The only critical alarmed feature that would indicate
the system may not perform its intended trip function is the stall alarm.
5.1.1. Stall Alarm – If the actuator fails to move 1%, within the adjustable stall time setting, while positioning thealarm
relay will open indicating an alarm event.
5.1.2. Partial stroke testing is performed to verify the actuator is capable of performing it’s intended safety function. The
actuator shall be designed to support proof test intervals of 1 year or greater while consuming less than 40% of the
allowable PFDavg for SIL 2 SIF applications when PST is implemented. The control and design of this test should be in
the scope of the control system. The REXA Actuator will only follow the requested change in position as defined by the
control loop. This PST percentage to activate needs to be calibrated within the scope of the plants SIS system. During a
partial stroke test the control system must monitor the position transmitter to insure the actuator actually successfully
performed this function. The control room supervisor needs to review and sign off on the results of the proof tests. This
PST should be sufficient to achieve a greater than 65% SFF (Safe Failure Fraction). Key points to review during this test:
5.1.3. Verification from the REXA position transmitter that the actuator followed the change in the control position and
performed its PST function.
5.1.4. Redundant verification from an optional PST limit switch can be provided, this limit switch needs to be wired
directly into the SIS system.
5.2. The test results are to be recorded and stored for the life of the product.
5.3. Strict adherence to this manual will ensure this system will function as designed.
S.6 Site Acceptance Test Procedures
A cognizant engineering supporting the operation of the system is responsible for assigning individuals to conduct and record
automated testing and proof testing of the equipment. The cognizant engineer is then responsible for reviewing the results.
6.1. Run the actuator open and verify stroking times meet the specification sheet.
6.2. Run the actuator close and verify stroking time meet the specification sheet.
6.3. Perform an ESD trip and verify stroking time meet the specification sheet.
6.4. Run the actuator to it’s PST position to verify position feedback and the optional PST limit switch is functioning properly.
S.7 Environmental Requirements
7.1. The actuator has been designed and verified to withstand the worse case environmental conditions as listed in this IOM.
T. Position Transmitter
Note: Position feedback can be changed in the field from active to passive or passive to active by rewiring the feedback. Refer to
certified drawing for wiring details.
Refer to OUTPUTS Menu (6.1.8) in Modes of Operation & Control Parameters for calibration procedures.

Whenever the actuator is unable to follow the applied control signal, the Alarm Relay will change state (de-energize).
Alarm Relay:
U. Electronic Relays
Limit Switch, Alarm, and Warning
Electronic Relays
The electronic limit, not in auto, alarm and warning relays are located on the interconnect board. An indicator LED shows the status
(energized-ON) of each relay.
Two of the relays are configured in the Setup Mode to activate upon user defined stroke limits. The third relay is an alarm indicator
and the fourth is a warning indicator. The fifth indicates the system is not in auto mode.
LED D10 will illuminate when the Relay 2 is active; indicating the actuator position is at, or above, the value set in parameter Relay 2.
When the CPU detects an error, which opens the Warning Relay only, LED D16 will turn off. The Warning relay is a signal from the
control enclosure that means the REXA CPU detects a problem but can still operate and follow the Control Signal.
The Alarm relay is a signal from the control enclosure that means the REXA CPU detects a problem, and cannot follow the Control Signal.
When the system is put into Local or Setup modes, LED D8 will turn off.
If PST is configured to PST confirm (from GUI only), the LED D8 is ON until PST cycle is active. When PST cycle reaches the PST target
the LED turns off, then illuminates when the actuator has motored back to 100% position.
Refer to certified drawing for warning alarm and relay wiring details.

This actuator was prepared for air transportation and required to comply with IATA’s hazardous goods regulations. Prior to shipment,
the accumulator nitrogen pressure was lowered to 20 psi (1.38 bar). The accumulator nitrogen pressure must be restored to normal
levels before the actuator can be powered on. The instructions below outline how to use compressed nitrogen to properly restore
the accumulator nitrogen pressure.
Procedure:
1. Determine accumulator bottle oil capacity by tag. See Figure 1 below. Use Table 1 below to determine nitrogen volume value.
Figure 1
Accumulator Capacity Nitrogen Volume@ Nitrogen Volume@
3000 psi (206 bar) 4000 psi (275 bar)
Table 1
2. Locate and remove the gas valve guard and gas valve cap. See Figure 2 below.
Figure 2
3. Add nitrogen using appropriate charge kit (REXA part number K09851-3000). See Figure 3 below. Using the Pre-Charging
Procedure on the next page, add nitrogen until the pressure reaches what is shown on the bottle tag. See Figure 4.
Note: The nitrogen needs to be added slowly to allow the temperature to stabilize. After the full amount is added wait one hour and
recheck pressure.

Pre-charging Procedure:
• Back out the gas chuck “T” handle (Figure 3: Item 1) all the way (counter-clockwise) before attaching charging assembly to
accumulator gas valve.
• Attach swivel nut (Figure 3: Item 3) to gas valve and tighten (10-15 in. lb. [11.5-17 cm kg]). Make sure not to loop or twist
the hose.
• Turn the gas chuck “T” handle until the gauge starts showing the pressure in the accumulator. Do not turn the “T” handle all
the way down, as it will damage the valve core.
• For the gas valve shown in Figure 6, hold the gas valve at point “C” with one wrench while unscrewing the hex nut at point
“D” with a second wrench. This will open the poppet inside the gas valve.
• Open the nitrogen bottle valve and slowly fill accumulator. Shut off when gauge indicates desired pre-charge.
• Let the pre-charge set for 10 to 15 minutes. This will allow the gas temperature to stabilize. If the desired pre-charge is
exceeded, close nitrogen bottle valve, then slowly open bleed valve. Do not reduce pre-charge by depressing valve core
with a foreign object. High pressure may rupture rubber valve seat.
• When finished pre-charging the accumulator, turn “T” handle all the way out on the gas chuck (Figure 3: Item 1), then
open the bleed valve (Figure 3: Item 2).
For the gas valve as shown in Figure 6, with a wrench, tighten hex nut at point “D” to close internal poppet (5-8 ft. lbs. [5.7-9.2 cm
kg]).
Hold the gas valve to keep from turning, loosen swivel nut, and remove assembly. Check for pre-charge leak using a common leak
reactant.
Replace the gas valve cap (10-15 in. lbs. [11.5-17 cm kg]) and valve guard. (The gas valve cap serves as a secondary seal.)

Figure 2
3. Purge any air out of the oil gun, line and fitting by pumping the handle several times until the level feels firm.
Figure 3
4. Depress the small valve in the center of the female Schrader fitting (on the oil pump) with a suitable tool such as a small
screwdriver or punch. Continue until oil flows freely without any signs of air bubbles.

5. Attach the oil gun fitting to the actuator oil fill valve
Figure 5
6. Add oil until the thermal expansion chamber gauge reads within 70-80PSI.
Figure 6
7. Remove the oil gun fitting from the actuator fill valve.
Note: Do not overfill the thermal expansion chamber. While overfilling will not harm the actuator, overfilling will force oil from
the thermal expansion chamber. Overfilling will also cause oil weeping from the overfill protection due to thermal expansion.
