24 Vac ± 20%, Class 2, 22 to 30 Vdc, 120 Vac ± 10%, 230 Vac ± 10%, 50/60 Hz. All 24 Vac circuits are
Class 2. All circuits 30 Vac and above are Class 1.
Models with -0xx have 3 ft. (91 cm) appliance wire connections. Models with -1xx have 3 ft. (91 cm)
plenum wire connections. Enclosure accepts 1/2 in. (13 mm) conduit connectors. For M20 Metric
connector, use AM-756 adaptor.
Motor Type: Brushless DC.
Linear Stroke: MA51-720x: 5/8 in. (16 mm). MA61-720x: 1-1/16 in. (27 mm). MA51-710x: 1/2 in. (13
mm) nominal.
Approximate Stroke Timing: See Model Chart.
Manual Override: Allows positioning of valve and preload using manual crank.
Operating: MA51-720x/MA61-720x: 0 to 140qF (-18 to 60qC). MA51-710x: -22 to 140qF (-30 to 60qC).
Temperature Restrictions: For maximum ambient 140qF (60qC) the maximum allowable fluid
temperature should not exceed valve rating. See F-27252 Selection Guide for specific ratings.
