Precautions
Warning:
• Electrical shock hazard! Disconnect the power supply (line power) before installation to prevent electric shock and equipment
damage.
• Make all connections in accordance with the job wiring diagram and in accordance with national and local electrical codes.
Use copper conductors only.
• Floating and Proportional Models: These products contain a half-wave rectifier power supply. They must not be powered with
transformers that are used to power other devices utilizing non-isolated full-wave rectifier power supplies. Refer to EN-206,
Guidelines For Powering Devices From A Common Transformer, F-26363 for detailedinformation.
Caution:
• Avoid electrical noise interference. Do not install near large contactors, electrical machinery, or welding equipment.
• Manual override to be used only when power is not applied to unit.
• When operating manual override (observe position indicator), back off 5° from full extended mechanical stop to ensure proper
release.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in residential installations.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions. Even when instructions are followed, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular setting—Which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on—the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Note: This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference- Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numerique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Reglement sur le material broilleur du Canada.
European Standard EN 55022
Note: This is a Class B digital (European Classification) product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.
Location
Caution: Avoid locations where excessive moisture, corrosive fumes, vibration, or explosive vapors are present.
Installation of Mx4D-xxxx-xxx Actuators on 1/2” to 3” Schneider Electric VB2000 Ball Valves
Install the actuator onto the ball valve according to Figure-16.
Note: If space constraints do not allow the actuator to be installed in the standard position, reposition the mounting plate
before mounting the actuator.
The valve should be mounted in a weather-protected area, in a location that is within the ambient temperature limits of the
actuator. The installation of the actuator assembly should provide clearance on all sides to allow for any maintenance that
may be needed (see Figure-13 thru Figure-15).
1. Follow the general piping practices.
2. Apply pipe sealant sparingly to all but the last two threads of a properly threaded, reamed, and cleaned pipe. Make sure
the pipe chips, scale, etc. do not get into the pipe since this material may lodge in the valve seat and prevent proper
operation of the valve. The valve must be piped with an inlet and an outlet.
3. Start the joint hand-threading the pipe into the valve. If the thread alignment feels normal, continue to turn the pipe by
hand as far as it will go.
4. Use a pipe wrench to fully tighten the pipe to the valve.
5. Caution: Do not over-tighten the pipe, which may cause stripped threads. Avoid twisting or crushing the valve while tight-
ening the pipe.
6. Insulate only the valve body and associated piping. Do not insulate the actuator.
7. In chilled or cold water systems where the environment is humid, use a drip pan under the valve to catch condensate.
Caution: The Schneider Electric SmartX Actuator is designed to effectively support its own weight. No load or weight should
be resting on the actuator. Long term damage may occur to the actuator, mounting connection, or valve.
• Do not insulate the actuator/linkage. Doing so will result in excess heat buildup within the actuator.
• For non-steam applications the ball valve assembly must be mounted so the actuator is at least 5° above horizontal
(Figure-13) to ensure that any condensate that forms will not travel into the mounting bracket or actuator.
• On steam applications, the ball valve assembly must be mounted approximately 45° from horizontal (Figure-14).
• Temperature Restrictions: To maintain the maximum ambient temperature 140 °F (60 °C) of the actuator/valve, the
maximum allowable fluid temperature should not exceed the 250 °F(121 °C) ball valve maximum rating.
See Table-5 for power wiring data. Refer to Figure-1 through Figure-8 for typical wiring.

Installation Instructions
Checkout
With the correct control signals applied, power the actuator. Observe movement of the output shaft to check for proper operation. If a spring return model, removing power should cause the actuator to spring return to its rest position. If problems are
encountered, check the suggestions below.
Note: Check that the transformer(s) are sized properly.
• If a common transformer is used with multiple actuators, make sure that polarity is observed on the secondary. This means
connecting all black wires to one leg of the transformer and all red wires to the other leg of the transformer.
• If multiple transformers are used with one control signal, make sure all black wires are tied together and tied to control
signal negative (-).
• If the controller uses a full-wave power supply and does not provide isolated outputs, a separate transformer is required to
power the actuator.
