Warnings and considerations

Warning: Risk of electric shock

Disconnect the power supply before making electrical connections. Contact with components carrying hazardous voltage
can cause electric shock and may result in severe personal injury or death.

Avertissement : Risque de choc électrique

Coupez l’alimentation électrique avant d’effectuer tout branchement électrique. Le contact avec un composant chargé
électriquement peut provoquer un choc électrique pouvant causer des blessures corporelles graves ou mortelles.

Advertencia: Riesgo de descarga eléctrica

Desconecte el suministro de energía antes de hacer conexiones eléctricas. El contacto con componentes conductores de
tensión peligrosa puede provocar una descarga eléctrica y puede dar lugar a lesiones personales graves o la muerte.

Caution

Johnson Controls, Inc. does not accept any liability for improper or wrong use of this product. Proper water treatment is rec­ommended; refer to the VDI 2035 Guideline. Furthermore, maximum iron oxide in the water passing through control valve
(PICV) should not exceed 25 mg/Kg (25 ppm). To ensure the main pipework is cleaned appropriately, flushing by-passes
should be used without flushing through the pressure regulator of the Pressure Independent Control Valve.

Attention

Johnson Controls, Inc. ne peut être tenu responsable de l’utilisation inadéquate de ce produit. Le traitement adéquat de
l’eau est recommandé; reportez-vous à la directive VDI 2035. De plus, la teneur en oxyde de fer de l’eau circulant dans
la vanne de régulation indépendante de la pression (PICV) ne devrait pas dépasser 25 mg/kg (25 ppm). Pour s’assurer
que la canalisation principale est bien nettoyée, il est recommandé d’utiliser un dispositif de dérivation afin de rincer la ca­nalisation sans rincer le régulateur de pression de la vanne de régulation indépendante de la pression.

Precaución

Johnson Controls, Inc. no asume ninguna responsabilidad por el uso inapropiado o incorrecto de este producto.
Se recomienda el tratamiento correcto del agua. Consulte la Guía VDI 2035. Además, el óxido de hierro máximo en el
agua que pasa a través de la válvula de control de presión independiente (Pressure Independent Control Valve, PICV)
no debe superar los 25 mg/kg (25 ppm). Para asegurar la limpieza correcta de la tubería principal, se deben usar by-passes
de purga sin purgar el regulador de presión de la válvula de control de presión independiente.

Wiring instructions for the technician

• All wiring conforms to local codes and must be carried out by authorized personnel only.

• Keep high and low voltage wiring separated.

• When using multi-stranded wire apply a cable ferrule to the cable end.

• Make sure that the line power supply is in accordance with the power supply specified on the device.

• Check all wiring connections before applying power to the system.

• Short-circuited or improperly connected wires may result in permanent damage to the equipment.

Instructions de câblage pour le technicien

• Tous les câblages doivent se conformer aux codes locaux et être effectués par un technicien autorisé.

• Le câblage haute tension et le câblage basse tension doivent être séparés.

• Lorsqu’un câble à faisceaux torsadés est utilisé, installez une bague à l’extrémité du câble.

• Assurez-vous que la source d’alimentation électrique correspond à l’alimentation spécifiée sur l’appareil.

• Vérifiez tous les raccordements avant de mettre l’appareil sous tension.

• Tout court-circuit ou câble incorrectement branché pourrait endommager l’équipement de façon permanente.

Instrucciones de cableado para el técnico

• Todo el cableado cumple con los códigos locales y debe estar a cargo de personal autorizado únicamente.

• Mantenga separado el cableado de alta y baja tensión.

• Cuando use cables de trenzado múltiple, aplique una virola en el extremo del cable.

• Asegúrese de que el suministro de energía de la línea coincida con el suministro de energía que se especifica
en el dispositivo.

• Revise todas las conexiones del cableado antes de aplicar energía al sistema.

Los cables con cortocircuito o mal conectados pueden provocar daños permanentes en el equipo.

Mounting considerations for the technician

All Spring and Non-Spring Actuators ship from the factory in the fully up position. Before mounting the actuator, you must
note the following:

• Ensure that the actuator is free from thermal insulating material.

• Allow a minimum clearance of 3 1/2 inches (89mm) above the actuator body.

• If the actuator was powered before mounting on the valve, you must return the actuator to its original open position
before proceeding.

• The actuator must be independently mounted in a vertical or horizontal position.

Instructions d’installation pour le technicien

Tous les actionneurs à ressort ou sans ressort sont livrés en position complètement relevée. Avant d’installer l’actionneur,
veuillez vous assurer :

• que le matériau d’isolation thermique a été retiré de l’actionneur;

• qu’il existe un dégagement de 89 mm (3 1/2 po) au-dessus du corps de l’actionneur;

• que l’actionneur a été remis à sa position d’origine s’il avait été mis sous tension avant d’être installé sur la vanne; et

• que l’actionneur est installé à la position verticale ou horizontale de façon indépendante.

Consideraciones de montaje para el técnico

Todos los accionadores con y sin resorte se entregan de fábrica en la posición totalmente hacia arriba. Antes de montar el
accionador, debe tener en cuenta lo siguiente:

• Asegúrese de que el accionador esté libre de material aislante térmico.

• Deje una distancia mínima de 3 1/2 pulg (89 mm) por encima del cuerpo del accionador.

•

Si el accionador se encendió antes de montar la válvula, debe volver a ponerlo en su posición abierta original antes
de continuar.
El accionador se debe montar de forma independiente en posición vertical u horizontal.

Flow direction | Sens du débit | Dirección del flujo

The following diagram illustrates the flow direction. Use this diagram as a guide on how to attach the actuator. If flow reversal
is possible, mount a a non-return valve. See Table 10 for the minimum differential pressure required.

Le diagramme ci-dessous illustre le sens du débit. Reportez-vous à ce diagramme pour l’installation de l’actionneur. S’il est
possible de renverser le débit, installez un clapet antiretour. Consultez le Table 6 pour connaître la pression différentielle
minimale requise.

En el siguiente diagrama, se muestra la dirección del flujo. Use este diagrama como una guía sobre cómo conectar el ac­cionador. Si el retorno del flujo es posible, instale una válvula de no retorno. Consulte la Tabla 6 para conocer la presión
diferencial mínima requerida.

CAUTION: Mounting in the wrong direction may damage the system and the valve.
ATTENTION : Installer la vanne dans le mauvais sens pourrait endommager le système et la vanne.
PRECAUCIÓN: El montaje en la dirección incorrecta puede dañar el sistema y la válvula.

Measuring differential pressure | Mesure de la pression différentielle |Medición de la presión diferencial

To ensure that the valve is working in the operating range, measure the differential gauge across the valve. The valve is in
the operating range if the value at P1-P2 (ΔP) is higher than the start up value. If the ΔP measured value is lower than the
start up value, then the valve works as a fixed orifice valve. Use the following table as reference for minimum differential
pressure requirements.

Pour vous assurer que la vanne fonctionne dans la plage de fonctionnement, relevez la pression indiquée sur le manomètre
différentiel de la vanne. La vanne fonctionne dans la plage de fonctionnement si la valeur de P1-P2 (ΔP) est plus élevée
que la valeur de mise en service. Si la mesure de ΔP est inférieure à la valeur de mise en service, cela signifie que la vanne
fonctionne comme une vanne à orifice fixe. Consultez le tableau suivant pour connaître la pression différentielle minimale
requise.

Para asegurarse de que la válvula funcione en el rango de funcionamiento, mida el ancho diferencial a través de la válvula.
Si el valor en P1-P2 (ΔP) es superior al valor de arranque, la válvula se encuentra en el rango de funcionamiento.
Si el valor ΔP medido es inferior al valor de arranque, entonces la válvula funciona como una válvula de orificio fijo.
Use la siguiente tabla como referencia para conocer los requisitos de presión diferencial mínima.
