Actuator type ABNM with Theft Protection, 0-10
V Proportional
Application
Function
The ABNM actuator is a thermoelectric actuator
for opening and closing valves in the fields of
heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems
(HVAC).
Control is by a 0-10 V signal which is provided either by a room thermostat or, in most cases, by a
central direct digital control (DDC) system. The
actuator converts the 0-10 V signal into a proportional actuator travel.
Ideal use in heating/cooling systems and in
▪
combination with central direct digital control (DDC) systems in building management
systems (BMS).
The actuator mechanism of the ABNM actuator
uses a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) resistorheated 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.
The closing force of the compression spring
(100N actuating force) is matched to the closing
force of the valves and keeps the valve closed
when de-energized. When the control voltage is
applied (0-10 V), the wax element is heated under
electronic control. The actuator provides active
regulation in a defined range (see characteristic
curve between 0.5 V and 10 V).
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 ABNM will then be
completely operable.
Automatic calibration
During the electrical start-up the valve closing
point is detected. This ensures an optimum
match with the specific valve used.
Function display
The function display (all-round display) of the
ABNM shows at the first glance whether the valve
is “open” or “closed”.
In the range of 0 – 0.5 V, the actuator remains in a
quiescent state in order to ignore ripple voltage
occurring in long cables. The relation between
control voltage and actuator travel is balanced by
optical path measurement, allowing very accurate positioning. When the control voltage is outside of the active range, the valve is kept closed
by the closing force of the compression spring.
First open function (for NC only)
In its delivery condition, the ABNM is kept open
when de-energised due to the first open function
(filling). This enables heating/cooling operation

Theft protection
If the shield is taken off, it is not possible to part
the thermal actuator from the adapter.
