Which accessory for which application?
These compatibilities apply specifically to the documented product lines. They do not automatically extend to AMS2 generations or Ex-rated versions. Certain options must be specified at the time of ordering, notably PSCP, FSP, PSC.2, and communication buses on PSQ103/AMS1x models.
| Accessoire | Fonction | Familles | Restrictions |

The Right Accessory for Your Actuator
You don't have to piece together the entire bill of materials on your own. Using the nameplate data and existing options, VAMECA helps you pinpoint the correct part number and determine whether a component can be field-retrofitted or must be factory-configured at the time of order.
Identify Existing Equipment
Complete Part Number
Please provide the model, serial number, and generation details.
Power Supply
Please specify voltage, frequency, and phase count.
Installed Options
Please attach the wiring diagram and part numbers for the installed modules.
Define Requirements
Desired Signal
Please specify the setpoint, position feedback, and communication protocol.
Safety Performance
Differentiate between power loss, signal loss, and manual override.
Environment
Specify ambient temperature, humidity, outdoor installation, and any hazardous location (Ex) requirements.
A clear photo of the nameplate and the required function are all we need to get started. Our technical team will confirm compatibility, installation requirements, and accessory availability.
Three Key Distinctions to Consider Before Ordering
Functions with similar names can serve very different operational requirements.
PSCP or FSP
PSCP stores energy to drive the actuator during a power outage. FSP receives an overriding command to move to a preset position. These two functions are incompatible.
Positioner or Transmitter
The PSAP receives a setpoint and controls the movement, while the PSPT transmits the position feedback to the automation system. Ensure the potentiometer and wiring match the selected configuration.
Local or Manual Override
PSC.2 enables electric control and local configuration. The handwheel operates according to the actuator mechanism. Neither of these designations guarantees an energy reserve.
