Actuator ABNM A5
0-10 V Proportional
For Use with RA2000 Valves
Application
The ABNM A5 0-10V thermal actuator is designed
for use with RA2000 Thermostatic Radiator Valves
in heating and cooling applications.
Features include:
• Safety function of normally closed (NC) actuator
during power failure
• Low power consumption 1W
• Removalable plug-in cable
• Simple snap-on installation
• Actuator orintation in any installation position
• First-Open function (NC versions)
• Compact size, small dimensions
• 24V AC power source
• Position indicator
• Noiseless and maintenance-free
Control is done by a 0-10 V signal, which is
provided either by a 3rd party room thermostat
or, in most cases, by a central direct digital
control (DDC) system. The actuator converts the
0-10 VDC signal into a proportional actuator
travel to the RA2000 or RA-C series of valves.
Suitable applications for the ABNM A5 actuator
can include fan coil units, chilled ceiling applications, radiant oor heating or radiator valves. It is
not recommended that the ABNM A5 actuator be
used on low pressure steam applications due to
the increased temperature environment that the
actuator is exposed to.

Data Sheet Actuator ABNM A5 for RA2000 Valves, 0-10 V Proportional
Function
Technical Specications
The actuator mechanism of the ABNM actuator
uses a positive temperature coecient (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 valve spindle and thus opening or
Version NC “normally closed”
In case of the normally closed version, valve is
closed when de-energized. Valve is opened
steadily upon switching on the power supply, setting control signal to 10 V and after expiry of the
dead time.
closing the valve. The actuator provides active
regulation in a dened range (see characteristic
curve between 0.5 V and 9.5 V).
The function display (all-round display) of the
ABNM shows at the rst glance whether the valve

tion phase even when the electric wiring is not
yet complete. During the later electrical start-up,
the rst open function is unlocked by applying
the power supply for more than 6 minutes.

Measured at ambient temperature 68°F (20°C). Due to thermal working principle of ac tuator some parameters vary
with ambient temperature. At higher ambient temperatures actuator opening is faster and closing slower. At lower
ambient temperatures actuator closing will be faster and opening slower.
