Description

Features

Application

Product Numbers

The Powermite 599 MT Series SSC81U and SSC81.5U electronic valve actuators require a 24 Vac supply to provide a floating control signal. These actuators control Powermite 599 MT Series valves with a 7/32-inch (5.5 mm) stroke and a threaded valve bonnet that fits the actuators.

• UL listed for plenum installations

• Direct-coupled installation without special tools (hand-tightened)

• Manual override

• Visual position indication

The Powermite 599 MT Series SSC81 electronic actuators and MT Series valves are used in heating and cooling applications. They are used in liquid and steam applications. The SSC81 series accepts plenum cable or 3/8-inch flex conduit connection.

A 24 Vac control signal to terminal Y1 extends the actuator shaft proportionately to the length of time the signal is applied.

A 24 Vac control signal to terminal Y2 retracts the actuator shaft proportionately to the length of time the signal is applied.

In the event of a power failure with no control voltage, the non-spring return SSC81U will hold its last position.

In the event of a power failure, the SSC81.5U returns to the stem up 0 position. The SSC81.5U includes an electronic return mechanism that functions as follows. See Figure 1.

• At power-up (t0), a capacitor must charge to its maximum capacity

(Max, tc). This will take a maximum of 180 sec, during which time no

actuator movement occurs.

• Once the capacitor is fully charged (tc), normal actuator operation

occurs.

• If a subsequent power failure occurs (tn) of greater than 5 seconds, the
