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-
E
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.
