On-Off Actuator for VC Series Balanced Hydronic Valves

These 2-position (open/close) control actuators are used with VCZ 1000, 1100, 6000 and 6100 series hydronic valves in a normal indoor environment to provide quick opening/closing to control the flow of hot and/or chilled water or glycol solution to 60% concentration. They are designed for on-off "zone" control of heating/cooling systems, or to control individual fan coil, baseboard radiator or convector applications.

Depending on the model selected, the actuator can be controlled by a low or line voltage SPST or SPDT controller, such as a room thermostat, aquastat or flow switch.

VC80 series valve actuators are designed to be used with hardwired electronic thermostats with series anticipator or powerstealing thermostats. Recommended control thermostats include T8601D, T8401C, T8380 and T8360 families.

VC actuators use cam-operated cartridge travel to resist water hammer. Internal limit switches prevent motor overrun. Some of these actuators have conformally coated printed circuit boards for humidity resistance.

MANUAL OPENER

The manual opener can be manipulated only when in the up position. The motorized valve can be opened by firmly pushing the red manual lever down to midway and in. This holds the valve in the open position. This "manual open" position may be used for filling, venting, draining the system or for opening the valve in case of power failure. The valve can be restored manually to the closed position by depressing the red manual lever lightly and then pulling the lever out. The valve and actuator will return to the automatic position when power is restored. NOTE: If the valve is powered open (the lever is down), it can not be manually closed unless actuator is removed.

INSTALLATION

WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT:

1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.

2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the product to make sure the product is suitable for your application.

3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service technician.

4. Always conduct a thorough checkout when installation is com-

pleted.

5. While not necessary to remove the actuator from the body, it can be removed for ease of installation. The actuator can be installed in any position to suit the most convenient wiring mode.

6. An extra 1" (25 mm) head clearance is required to remove the actuator.

CAUTION:

Disconnect power supply before connecting wiring to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.

On 24 V systems, never jumper the valve coil terminals, even temporarily. This may damage the thermostat.

Refer to the VC Series Cartridge Valve Installation and Instruction sheet, form number 95C-10919, for plumbing instructions.

IMPORTANT:

For trouble-free operation of the product, good installation

practice must include initial system flushing, chemical water treatment, and the use of a 50 micron (or finer) system side stream filter(s). Remove all filters before flushing.

Put the VC actuator manual lever in the manual open or the fully open (down) position to allow initial system flushing with the actuator mounted. This may be done without electrical hook-up. Alternatively, reusable flush caps, part # 272866B, may be purchased separately for use in initial flushing of dirty hydronic systems.

Do not use boiler additives, solder flux and wetted materials which are

oil, hydrocarbons, or ethylene glycol acetate

which can be used, with minimum 50% water dilution, are diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, and propylene glycol (antifreeze solutions).

TO INSTALL ACTUATOR

Installation of the actuator does not require draining the system, provided the valve body and valve cartridge assembly remain in the pipeline. Wiring may be done either before or after the actuator is installed.

1. The actuator head is automatically latched to the valve. Align the coupling hole in the bottom of the actuator with the valve stem. Press the actuator down towards the body with moderate hand force and turn the actuator counter-clockwise by 1/8 turn (45 degrees) to line up the actuator with the piping. The latch will click when engaged. See Figure 2. NOTE: The actuator can also be installed at right angles to the valve body but in this position the latch mechanism will not engage.

2. Connect leadwires. See Figure 3 for flexible conduit installation with plenum-cable models.

WIRING

NOTE: Each 3-wire (SPDT) actuator must have individual spdt controller. Use series 40 or 80 for single controller to control multiple valves.

Figures 4, 5, 6 and 7 show wiring connections. Port "A"

closed

denote valve open and closed positions respectively. On auxiliary switch models, terminal 4 (grey wire) contact makes at the end of the Port A opening stroke. On Molex connector models, valve & auxiliary switch boltage must be the same to meet approval requirement. For mixed line voltage and 24 VAC (Safety Extra Low Voltage) application, the cable version is recommended.

CAUTION:

Disconnect power supply before connecting wiring to prevent electrical shock and equipment damage.

When the need for heat is satisfied the NC thermostat contacts close, energizing the valve through SW1 to close the valve. When the valve reaches the fully close position, the cam actuated SW2 closes and SW1 opens anticipating the next call for heat cycle. In a power failure the valve will stay at whatever position it was in when the power was interrupted. When power is restored, the valve will respond to the controller demand.

CHECKOUT

1. Raise the set point of the thermostat above room temperature to initiate a call for heat. Red valve position lever should move downward to the open position.

2. For auxiliary switch models, observe all control devices. The valve should open and the auxiliary switch (if present) should close and make at the end of the opening stroke to activate auxiliary equipment.

3. Lower the set point of the zone thermostat below room temperature.

4. Observe the control devices. The valve should close and all auxiliary equipment should stop.

SERVICE

This valve should be serviced by a trained, experienced service technician.

1. If the valve is leaking, drain system OR isolate valve from the system.

2. Check to see if the cartridge needs to be replaced.

3. If the motor or other internal parts of the actuator is damaged, replace the entire actuator assembly.

NOTE: Honeywell hydronic valves are designed and tested for silent operation in properly designed and installed systems. However, water noises may occur as a result of excessive water velocity. Piping noises may occur in high temperature (over 212°F [100°C]) systems with insufficient water pressure.
