ML7420 ML7425
GENERAL
The ML7420A / ML7425A,B actuators are designed for
modulating control with controllers providing an analog output
of 0...10 Vdc or 2...10 Vdc. They operate Honeywell’s
standard valves in heating, district heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) applications. Spring-return models
provide a safety position at power failure.

OPERATION
General
The drive of a synchronous motor is converted into linear
motion of the actuator stem via a spur gear transmission. The
actuator stem is connected with the valve stem by a buttonkeyed retainer connection.
An integrated spring package limits the stem force to a
factory-set value in either direction.
The actuator switches off precisely when the specified stem
force is reached.
Manual Operation
Actuators without spring return are equipped with a manual
operation knob used in case of power failure. Manual
operation is permitted only after the power supply is switched
off or disconnected.
To operate, push the manual operation knob down and turn
clockwise to move the stem downward and counterclockwise
to move the stem upward. If the actuator returns to automatic
control, the manual operation knob unlocks automatically.
In the case of actuators with spring return, the manual
operation knob is located under the cover.
Override Option
All actuators have an integrated override function (see also
Fig. 3). When the override signal is applied, the actuator
drives to the fully-open or fully-closed position, regardless of
the controller signal.
Spring Return
The ML7425A,B spring return actuators provide a defined
safety position of the valve in case of power failure.
The spring return actuators are shipped from the factory with
a shipment stop (to lock the manual operation knob) in order
to allow connection of the stem button retainer to the valve
stem without power supply.
Electrical Installation
The actuators are delivered with a pre-installed cable gland
M20 and two additional knock-outs for M18 and M20. Max.
cable length/diameter for field mounting:
200 m / 1.5 mm
100 m / 1.5 mm2 (ML7420A6017)
NOTE: To avoid malfunction, it is necessary to connect
2
or
24 Vac power and ground (see Fig. 3 on page 4).
Action
The direction of action can be reversed by pressing the lefthand pushbutton (W3) located on the printed circuit board
(see Fig. 1), If the corresponding LED is lit, this indicates that
the actuator stem will retract at a control signal of 0(2) Vdc
(factory setting); if it is dark, the actuator stem will extend at a
control signal of 0(2) Vdc.
Input Signal Range
The range of the analog input signal Y can be changed by
pressing the right-hand pushbutton (W2) located on the
printed circuit board (see Fig. 1). If the corresponding LED is
lit, this indicates that the actuator is set for 0...10 V operation
(factory setting); if it is dark, the actuator is set for 2...10 V
operation.
