AXM 117S: Motorised drive (with positioner) for unit valves 
How energy efficiency is improved 
Automatic valve adjustment and intelligent cut-out enable maximum energy efficiency. 
Areas of application 
Actuation of through and three-way unit valves in the VUL, BUL, VXL and BXL series. For controllers 
with continuous output in combination with intelligent unitary control systems. 
Features 
•  Pushing force 120 N 
•  Fits onto valve with M30 × 1.5 thread 
•  Stepping motor with control and electronic cut-off 
•  Version with control action A or B or adjustable 
•  Maintenance-free gearbox 
•  Suitable for retrofitting existing installations using an appropriate adaptor 
•  Operating status control using integrated LED display 
Technical description 
•  Two-part plastic housing, light grey (RAL7035) 
•  Nickel-plated brass nut 
•  Connecting cable, light grey 1.50 m long, 3 × 0.25 mm² 
•  Running time for 4 mm stroke: 60 s 
•  Installation position: vertical to horizontal, but not upside down 
  Direction of operation 1: rising 0…10V = drive retracts (VXL, VUL, BUL opens, BXL control passage closes). 
Operation 
During commissioning (with valve fitted), the actuator moves to the two end positions and memorises 
the number of steps taken to do so. The 0...10 V control signal is then linearly assigned to this effective stroke. The motor activates the valve and switches off as soon as the stroke position concurs with 
the controller signal. In the end positions or in the event of an overload, the motor is switched off within 2 minutes. If the control voltage has not changed for 2 hours (in the range 0...0,5 V), the motor – 
after approx. 2 hours – runs briefly to the end positions and, if necessary, corrects its position 
memory. A complete cycle is performed every 24 hours on the AXM117SF202 and F302 in order to 
prevent the plug from jamming. The LED lights up when power is applied to the drive, and flashes 
when the motor is running.

AXM117SF202 or AXM117SF402, direction of operation 1 
As the control signal rises, the drive spindle retracts and the VUL, VXL through valves and the BUL 
three-way valve (control passage) open. On the BXL three-way valve, the control passage closes. 
AXM117SF302 or AXM117SF402, direction of operation 2 
As the control signal rises, the drive spindle extends and the VUL, VXL through valves and the BUL 
three-way valve (control passage) close. On the BXL three-way valve, the control passage opens. 
The black earth lead 1a (24 V~) and the blue earth lead 1b (control voltage) should be connected 
together to a common earth lead. 
AXM117SF402 
After removing the cap on the lid, you can make the following settings using jumpers:- 
– Auto reset ‘on’ or ‘off’. In the ‘on’ (active) position, the drive re-adjusts itself every 24 hours by 
moving to the end position or to the internal stop. In the ‘off’ (inactive) position, this readjustment does not occur. 
– The input signal can be set to either 0...10 V or 5,2...10 V or 0...4,8 V.  
– Direction of operation 1 or 2 can be selected; factory setting is direction of operation 2. 
Replace the cap after you have finished making the setting. 
Engineering and fitting notes 
No tools should be used to fit the drive onto the valve. In the event of a power failure, the valve can be 
opened by removing the drive. When connecting or transposing the power cable, power must be 
switched off. 
The drive must only be fitted on the valve when the drive spindle is notextended 100%. Status when 
delivered: 50% of stroke. 
Fitting outdoors. If the devices are fitted outdoors, we recommend that additional measures be taken 
to protect them against the effects of the weather. 
Standards and regulations 
The drive conforms to the relevant EU standards.  
EMC Directive: CE as per EN 61000-6-3 and EN 61000-6-1
