When power is applied to the actuator, the motor drives
the gear assembly, and pushes down on the valve stem
against the force of the valve return spring.

When power i s removed from the actuat or , the
actuator ret r ac ts and allows the valve return spring to
move the valve stem up, in the di r ec tion of its norm al
position. ( S ee Figure 2.)

Observe the fol lowing recom mendations when
mounti ng the actuator:

• Make sure the actuator is easily accessibl e for the
electrical connect ions.

• Make sure the actuator is free of thermal
insulati on materi al.

• Leave at least 0.8 in. ( 20 mm) c learance above
the actuator for m ounting purposes. (See Figure

3.)

To mount the actuator on a VG5000 v alv e:

1. Place the thr eaded c oupling over the valve stem
and the bonnet.

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard.

Mount only on a valve t hat is
piped within 90° of the vertical
position, so i t is free of dri pping
water, which could ent er the
housing and damage the
mechanism and motor. (See
Figure 4.)

CAUTION: Equipment Damage Hazard.

Check all wir ing connections
before appl y ing power to the
system. Short - c ircuit ed or
improper ly connected wir es wil l
result in permanent dam age to
the equipm ent.

IMPORTA NT: Make all wiring connecti ons i n

accordance with the National
Electrical Code and al l local
regulati ons.

To wire the VA-7010 ac tuator:

1. Run the actuator wires through 3/8 in. Flexi ble
Metallic Conduit (FMC) or i ts equiv alent as
appropriate.

2. Secure the FMC to t he c onnec tor provided with
the actuator by tighteni ng the clamp screw using a
1/4 in. flat- blade screwdriver.

3. Connect the wires as shown in Figure 5 f or eac h
respective model v oltage.
