The ABN A5 on/off thermal actuator has been
specifically designed for use with AB-QM valves
DN10-32/½-1¼ inch in heating and cooling
applications.
FunctionThe actuator mechanism of the ABN A5 actuator
uses a positive temperature coefficient (PTC)
resistor heated wax element and a compression
spring. The wax element is heated by applying
the operating voltage and moves the integrated
piston. The force generated by this movement is
transferred to the piston, thus opening or closing
the valve.
First open function (for NC versions only)
In its delivery condition, the ABN A5 is kept
open when de-energized due to the first open
function (filling). This enables heating/cooling
operation during the carcass construction
phase even when the electric wiring is not yet
complete. During the later electrical start-up, the
first open function is unlocked by applying the
operating voltage for more than 6 minutes and
the ABN A5 will then be completely operable.
Version NC “normally closed” (valve closed)
In case of the normally closed version, the valve
is opened steadily by the ram motion upon
switching on the operating voltage and after
expiry of the dead time.
After the operating voltage is cut and after
expiry of the hold time, the valve is closed evenly
by the closing force of the compression spring.
The closing force of the actuator is matched
to AB-QM DN10-32 valves and keeps the valve
closed when de-energised.
Actuator convincing features are:
• Stroke 5.0 mm
• Available as normally closed (NC) or normally
open (NO)
• Power consumption 1W
• Plug-in cable
• Simple snap-on installation
• IP54 in any installation position
• First-Open function
• Compact size, small dimensions
• All round function indicator
• Noiseless and maintenance-free
• Certified by TÜV
The actuator can be controlled with an on/off
or PWM controller which is provided either by
a room thermostat or by a central direct digital
control (DDC) system.

Version NC with end switch (082F1154)
The integrated micro switch is switched at a
travel path of approx. 2 mm.
After the operating voltage is cut and after
expiry of the hold time the valve is closed evenly
by the closing force of the compression spring.
The integrated switch is closed after an actuator
travel of approx. 2 mm.
The closing force of the compression spring is
matched to the closing force of commercially
available valves and keeps the valve closed when
de-energised.
In case of the normally open version, the valve
is closed steadily by the ram motion upon
switching on the operating voltage and after
expiry of the dead time.
After the operating voltage is cut and after
expiry of the hold time, the valve is opened
evenly by the compressive force of the valve
spring.
