NOTE: Actuators should be stored between -40° to 85°C (-40° to 185°F)
0 to 100% relative humidity
Communication Interface HART protocol (Rev. 5 -- burst mode is not supported)

Pushbutton / LED panel
RS-232 Serial commands
Demand Input Signal 4–20 mA (1–5 V dc input is possible with the removal of the “R11”
Options resistor located on the DCM‑2 board (see diagram on page 60)
Adjustability for Split Range 0%: 0.1 V to 4 V dc

Operation 100%: 0% + 1 V min. to 5 V max.
Minimum Step Size 0.1% (0.15% typical, configurable from 0.1 to 2.5%)
Linearity ±1% of span, max. independent error
Hysteresis 0.25% of span at any point
Demand input Signal Linear: Actuator output shaft moves proportionally to the input signal
Characterization
Square: Actuator output shaft moves proportionally to the square of
the input signal
Square Root: Actuator output shaft moves proportionally to the

square root of the input signal
Custom: Actuator output shaft moves according to the configurable

20-segment (maximum) response curve
Position Feedback Signal 4–20 mA
Isolation Demand input and position Feedback signals are isolated from ground
and the AC power line. Signal buffering provides 24 V dc isolation
between the Demand and Feedback signals

Stall Protection If the motor tries to run in one direction for more than 300 seconds
(configurable from 30 to 450 seconds), the DCM‑2 will shut off power to
the motor (feature can be enabled/disabled) - factory default is enabled.
Overtorque Protection (Optional) The DCM‑2 shuts off power to the motor if the measured output
torque of the actuator exceeds 150% (adjustable from 25% to 150%)
of the actuator rating (feature can be enabled/disabled)—disabled is
the factory default.
Alarm Annunciation Available at terminal E. Depending on actuator power, the voltage is

either 120 V ac (80 mA max.) or 240 V ac (40 mA max.).
Temperature Indication Measures the internal temperature of the actuator and triggers an alarm
when the temperature exceeds the rating.
Over-travel Limit Switches Two SPDT switches (CW and CCW) provide over-travel protection.
Auxiliary Switches Up to four 6 A, 120 V ac switches available.

Switches are labeled S1 to S4 and are cam-operated, field-adjustable.
Unless otherwise specified, auxiliary switches are factory set:
S1 and S4 are set to operate just before reaching the CCW travel limit.
S2 and S3 are set to operate just before reaching the CW travel limit.
(see page 31 for a switch setting diagram)
Handswitch Permits local electrical operation, independent of controller signal.

Standard on all units. An auxiliary contact is available as an option for
remote auto indication (rated 2.5 A at 120 V ac).
Handwheel Provides manual operation without electrical power.
Motor Assembly 120 V ac, single-phase, no-burnout, non-coasting motor has instant
magnetic braking. Requires no contacts or moving parts.
Gear Train High-efficiency, precision-cut, heat-treated alloy steel and ductile iron
spur gears. Interchangeable gear modules permit field change of
torque/ timing.
Mechanical Stops Prevent overtravel during automatic or manual operation.
Enclosure Precision-machined, aluminum alloy castings painted with corrosion-

resistant polyurethane paint provide a rugged, dust-tight, weatherproof
enclosure. Actuators designed for hazardous classified locations
are also available. Type 4X; IP68, 3 meters/48 hours*. *Internal water
damage is not covered by warranty.
Maximum Output Shaft Rotation 100 degrees (Models 11-159, 11-209, 11-309, 11-409)
90 degrees (Models 11-169, 11-269, 11-369, 11-469)
Mounting Orientation Any orientation—no limitations.
Standards** CSA Labeled (US & Canada); CE Compliant

INTERFACES
The DCM‑2 has three configuration interfaces: Pushbutton, HART, and Serial Port.
Pushbutton
The DCM‑2 board is equipped with a pushbutton panel that can be used to calibrate the Demand signal and
configure 0% and 100% positions. It may also be used to configure the direction of output shaft rotation
for increasing Demand. These configurations and calibrations do not require any external equipment to
perform.
DCM-2
Pushbutton Panel
HART
The HART interface is accessible by connecting a HART capable communication device (such as a handheld
communicator) to terminals AA (+) and BB (–) of the terminal block area. A HART-capable, analog output
can be used for the Demand signal as well. All electronic calibration and configuration can be accomplished
through the HART interface. NOTE: The appropriate HART device descriptions are required.

Serial PORT
The Serial port interface is accessible by connecting a computer to the DCM‑2 using a Beck Serial cable.

OVERVIEW LEDS
There are four LEDs that reside on the main
DCM‑2 board (pictured above). These LEDs
indicate the basic, real-time state of the actuator.
A description of each LED follows.
FWD
This LED illuminates when the actuator is
receiving a Demand signal greater than its
position.
REV
This LED illuminates when the actuator is
receiving a Demand signal less than its
position.
STAT
This LED illuminates during a system alarm.
Explanation of the specific alarm is available
through the fieldbus or Serial interface. See
the Troubleshooting section for additional
information.
PWR
This LED illuminates when power is applied to
the actuator. This LED pulses from bright to
dim indicating the DCM‑2 is operational. Overview LEDs

APPENDIX: OPTIONAL DCM-2 W/ FEEDBACK DISPLAY

The DCM-2 Feedback display is an illuminated,
numerical readout showing the actuator’s position
as a percentage of full travel. This display is viewed
through a tempered glass window in the electronics
compartment. There are also two LEDs visible—a
red LED which indicates the open position of a valve
(or final control element) and a green LED which
indicates the closed position.
The DCM-2 display has been calibrated at
the factory and should not require any further
adjustments.
The display is powered from the Feedback
loop current and will not operate until the loop
is closed. The Feedback output maximum loop
resistance is 500Ω.
The configuration for the Feedback display
is 4 mA = 00.0(%) and 20 mA = 100.0(%). By
default, the “CLOSED” LED will light green when
the Feedback is indicated at less than 1(%). The
DCM-2 with Feedback Display
“OPEN” LED will light red when the Feedback is
indicated at greater than 99(%). Part No. 22-5012-79
The illumination points for the LEDs may be
modified using a serial command (see next page).
For information on serial communication and
commands, see page 70.

third parties including customers and injury to property.
Buyer acknowledges its responsibilities under OSHA, related laws and regulations, and other safety laws, regulations, standards,
practices or recommendations that are principally directed to the use of equipment in its operating environment. Buyer acknowledges
that the conditions under which the equipment will be used, its use or combination with, or proximity to, other equipment, and other
circumstances of the operation of such equipment are matters beyond Beck’s control. Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify Beck
against all claims, damages, costs or liabilities (including but not limited to, attorney’s fees and other legal expenses),
whether on account of negligence or otherwise, except those claims based solely upon the negligence of Beck and those
