Schneider Electric AV-644 Series Installation Instructions

Application

Note: Obsolete linkages are displayed in Figure-1.

The AV-644 series linkage kits are required for the assembly of MF and MS-2xxxx model actuators to valves.

The AV-644 linkage kit replaces the AV-643 linkage kit
h plastic stem extension for the assembly of MF and
wit MS-223xx thermally isolated actuator models with manufacture date codes prior to 9812.
The AV-644 linkage kit replaces all linkages for MF and
2xxxx actuators, including thermally isolated
MS­models with manufacture date codes after 9832.
The AV-644-10 linkage kit replaces the AV-640 linkage
for all MF-221xx actuator models.

ASSEMBLY/ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

Caution: Damage can occur if an actuator equipped with a potentiometer (seven wires) is run or manually adjusted without being mounted to a valve. This causes the potentiometer output to be out of specification and requires the actuator position to be re-established. If an actuator is run or adjusted without being mounted to a valve, follow the “Re-establishing Potentiometer Position” procedure on Page-11 before mounting the actuator to the valve.

Assembly
The following models use round ID drive screws (confirm by removing the indicator nut and looking at the center of the drive screw) that cannot be removed from the actuator.
Position the actuator above center line of valve to prevent damage from condensation and dripping water.

Replacing AV-640 with AV-644-10 Valve Linkage on MF-221xx Actuators

1. Disconnect power from the actuator.

2. Verify actuator part number is of the MF-221xx series. The center of the drive screw and the center section of the stem extension should both be round.
3. Unscrew the position indicator nut on the top of the actuator and remove it. Insert FRAC-209­1 pin through the hole in the position indicator nut and loosen by hand. Refer to Figure-2 for part identification.
4. Unscrew the mounting nut from the actuator.
5. Remove the actuator from the valve. Lift the actuator to separate it from the valve and linkage.
6. Unscrew the stem extension and locknut to remove them from the valve stem.
7. Peel back the label on top of the actuator to expose the drive screw. Remove the drive screw from the actuator. Use a tapered pencil inserted in the center of the drive screw to unscrew it.
8. Discard the old position indicator nut, stem extension, lock washer, locknut, and drive screw.

9. Replace all the old parts with new parts from the AV-644-10 linkage kit in reverse order, starting with the white plastic drive screw. Refer to
Figure-3.

13. Screw the stem extension onto the valve stem. Adjust the stem extension to the height specified for the selected actuator model. Refer to
Figure-5. This dimension is the distance
from the top of the packing nut to the shoulder of the stem extension.
14. Tighten the locknut against the stem extension to make the stem extension secure to the valve stem.
15. Insert the valve stem extension through the bottom of the actuator. If necessary, rotate the drive screw slightly to align the hex in the drive screw to the square in the lower bearing to match the stem extension hex and square.
16. Screw the valve mounting nut into the actuator and tighten.
17. Position the indicator nut on top of the actuator.
Caution: The hex shaped interface between the stem extension and drive screw does not require high indicator nut tightening torque. Do not tighten the indicator nut beyond the hex shoulder on the stem extension or a reduction in the actuator output may result. See Figure-10 for parts identification.
18. Tighten the indicator nut against the shoulder on the stem extension.
19. Reconnect power to the actuator.

Re-establishing Potentiometer Position

If an actuator is run or adjusted without being mounted to a valve, the actuator position can be re-established. Refer to Ta bl e - 2 and Figure-10.
1. Remove actuator position indicator nut. Unscrew mounting nut and remove actuator from valve.
2. Apply a fixed DC voltage (30V maximum) across the potentiometer with positive voltage applied to extend [Brown] and 0 volts to retract [Orange].
3. Depress the manual override button and turn the manual override screw so that the potentiometer output is 91.5%. For example, with 10V applied across the potentiometer adjust the actuator so the potentiometer output is 9.15V from wiper [Blue] to retract [Orange]. Now follow the assembly steps for the appropriate valve linkage.
