The Local Display Modules large IconoText screen communicates in plain language and simple icons, enabling users to handle non-intrusive setup and diagnostics quickly and easily, and to check major actuator parameters at a glance.
Retains established, reliable technology.

Mechanical torque sensing
EIMs spring pack mechanism doesnt rely on electronics or algorithms to estimate torque. It reliably measures the actual torque load with a sliding worm gear method that has been proven in more than 70 years of service in all climates. The rotation of the worm-gear drives an adjacent rotary gear, the movement of which is converted into an electronic signal by Hall-effect sensors. This direct-sensing method provides supremely accurate and reliable torque monitoring.
RDMs ensure controls are easy to reach ... even when the actuator isnt!
EIMs exclusive Remote Display Module (patent pending) puts the TEC2000s non-intrusive controls within easy reach, no matter where the actuator is installed. You can network two remote control modules up to 4,000 feet (1.2 km) away and perform all of the same configuration and diagnostic tasks that can be accomplished on the actuators local controls. The RDMs may be powered from either the actuators 24VDC power supply or independent 115/220VAC power source. (Requires only four wires for both power and communication!) Whether the actuator is mounted far away or up high, the RDM conveniently brings control of the TEC2000 down to earth right to the operators level.
Motor flexibility
The TEC2000s motor is not used in any load sensing or measurement functions, so it requires no calibration. As a result, the motor can be easily replaced or rewound. Interchangeable motor gear-ratio sets allow easy speed changes in the field.
The ideal Separate Terminal Chamber:

An isolated terminal chamber is one of the defining features of non-intrusive actuators. But while other actuators may have separate compartments for terminal blocks, the TEC2000s Separate Terminal Chamber design offers several distinct, common-sense advantages: Cover is threaded instead of bolted, for easy access. Terminal block helps avoid field wiring errors by providing highly visible labeling for every connection ... with all screws already installed! User-replaceable primary fuses are easily accessible in the terminal chamber. Secondary fuses reset themselves automaticallyso you dont have to open the control compartment to change fuses! Four conduit entries provide convenient wiring paths.
The handwheel thats not a wheel.

TEC2000s gear box uses reduction gearing to reduce the effort needed to manually open or close a valve. Its distinctive fold-up spinner handle provides a compact profile and keeps the handle safely out of the way until its needed. (Patent pending.)
Effortless declutching!
Another practical innovation: shift to manual operation with minimum effort! No cheater bar is needed even on tightly sealed valves. The lever can also be padlocked for safety in either Hand or Motor position.
Tri-Set design gives you three setup choices.

Configure the actuator in any of three ways: selector switches on the units Local Display Module; CE Windows PC or PDA device; the Clicker, a key-chain sized IrDA controller.
Absolute Position Detector (APD)

The TEC2000s patented APD uses Hall-effect sensors to continuously monitor valve position and torque. This geared system requires no battery and is therefore able to detect the valves actual position even during a power failure.
TEC2000 technology for intelligent control. Proven

Take a look at the IconoText screen:
(Actual size)
The TEC2000s Local Display Module (LDM) is designed around a large, IconoText LCD message screen with two 16-character text lines. Non-penetrating control knobs serve two functions: local control (open/stop/close) and actuator setup. During actuator setup, the message screen displays setup prompts, and operator can use a local control knob (or the hand-held Clicker or PDA) to make Yes or No responses. The other local knob is used to control Next/Back functions to scroll through prompts during the setup sequence. LED lights indicate valve status, including opening, closing, stopped, and alarm. Graphics and symbols on the LDM indicate: mode of operation (local/stop/remote) valve position (% open, expressed numerically and graphically) continuous torque indication (5% increments) setup prompts and diagnostics via two, 16character lines of user-configurable messages animated valve symbol

to remain powered during electrical outages; no battery required to maintain any data or position calibration.
10 Rugged ductile iron gear housing is shockand vibration-resistant. Other key features: Emergency shutdownindependent safety circuits (stay-put mode) monitor all modules and shut down the actuator if an unsafe condition is detected. Internal wiring uses no insulationdisplacement connectors. All terminals are crimped, gold pin-and-socket contacts; every connector is uniquely polarity-keyed and locked, so you cannot plug two incompatible cables together.
TEC2000 means Total Electronic Control.

TEC2000 is equipped to meet virtually any control requirements, including: Discrete, two-wire, three-wire, and four-wire controls Wired interlocks, open or close inhibits Independent emergency shutdown (ESD) Independent close-loop wired emergency stop Modulating service (with analog input and analog position/torque feedback) Multiport valve control (up to four ports) Network control with a wide range of network topologies and protocols, including Modbus, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, Device Net, and Ethernet.

When the time was right for EIM to develop non-intrusive, Total Electronic Control valve actuators, we carefully applied our 50+ years of knowledge of what customers truly need in valve control. The result is TEC2000, an actuator with a whole array of common-sense attributes. Based on proven technology, TEC2000 is an actuator built for the demands of multi-turn and quarter-turn applications just like yours.
Its already proven.

To start with, we didnt reinvent the wheel. Instead of devising a completely new actuator, we simply equipped our well-established Series 2000 actuator with all the features needed to offer Total Electronic Control (TEC) in a true non-intrusive package. This means that with the TEC2000, you get the latest standards of control and performance ... coupled with solid power transmission technology that has a 30-year history of reliability in thousands of installations worldwide. (In fact, 60% of actuator parts are fully interchangeable across EIMs entire quarter-turn & multi-turn product range!) That Series 2000 heritage ensures that the new TEC2000 is one electronic actuator thats built for hard work and easy maintenance. TEC2000 mounted on gear box for heavy-duty quarter-turn use. No auxiliary gear drive is required for quarter-turn valve torques up to 2,200 ft-lbs.
Quarter-turn and multi-turn control in one truly non-intrusive actuator.

The TEC2000 series can handle both quarter-turn and multi-turn applications across an extremely broad torque rangeusing either three-phase or single-phase power. While some manufacturers claim to offer non-intrusive actuators, take a closer look at their products. Youll discover electric control compartments that have to be opened to replace fuses which defeats the purpose of non-intrusiveness, and can even void some manufacturers warranties. EIMs TEC2000 is truly non-intrusive; its separate, dual-sealed terminal chamber houses the units primary fuses, so the control compartment doesnt need to be opened for setup or for routine maintenance and operation. Local control knobs dont penetrate the housing.
Exclusive Tri-Set feature provides three setup choices.

TEC2000 gives you the freedom to choose from any of three configuration methods: 1 Control knobs on the LDM (Local Display Module), and on the optional RDM (Remote Display Module), which can be mounted up to 4,000 feet (1.2 km) away! 2 PCs and PDAs via RS-485, or IrDA port; or 3 EIMs exclusive key chain-sized Clicker remote. The Clicker, an IrDA controller, has four buttons that correspond to Yes, No, Back, and Next functions of the local control knobs. Using just this compact tool, you can complete the entire actuator configuration process. (Clicker not available in Japan or England.)
