Mounting

Figure 2: Mounting positions

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set the actuator to the desired control signal and action before fitting to the valve.
(See Figure 6: Wiring diagrams and Table 1: DIP switch settings).

Tools

• Allen wrench, 4 mm
• Screw driver, 5 mm or #2

Only for VA78x0-xxx-11 models:

• Hex wrench, 14 mm and 19 mm

Manual positioner
These models of actuators are equipped with a manual positioner that allows to move the spindle only when the power supply is not present.

WARNING:

• It is recommended to use the manual positioner only when the actuator is not powered, because the actuator spindle retains its position until the power supply is connected. (The controller takes first priority.)
• Be sure that the actuator has reached the rest position (stem extended or retracted, depending on the model), before manually positioning the actuator.
• After any manual operation, it is recommended to restart the self calibration cycle, or wait for the next valve full stroke cycle for the automatic calibration of the actuator.

Figure 3: Manual Positioner

1. MOVE: Insert the crank (under the actuator) into the hexagonal hole located on top of the actuator. Turn in the direction indicated by the arrow to move the spindle to the desired position.
2. LOCK: When the spindle is in the desired position, push down completely and let the shaft rotate in the opposite direction, until the shaft stops. Remove the crank.
   • (a.) UNLOCK: To unlock the manual positioner, rotate the crank in the direction indicated by the arrow on the actuator by 20° to 30° and release.

IMPORTANT:

• Each time the actuator is powered up (for example, after a power loss) the manual positioner unlocks automatically.
• The automatic unlock may not operate properly if the actuator has been manually positioned at the opposite end stroke to the spring return position.

Self-calibration

Figure 7: Starting self-calibration

• (a.) Calibration button
• (b.) DIP switches
• (c.) Electronic board

The standard control signals are selected by setting DIP switches 2, 3, and 4, within the range: 0…10 VDC or 0…20 mA. Factory default parameters: 0…10 VDC.
(See Table 1: DIP switch settings).

IMPORTANT: Power must be connected before the self-calibration cycle can be started, and the actuator must be already mounted on the valve.

• To start self calibration cycle push and hold the button for at least 3 seconds. (See Figure 7 – a)
• During the procedure, the green LED blinks quickly.
• The actuator will make one full cycle to detect the stem extension and retraction limits.
• The end stroke cursors are automatically placed at the stroke limits.

Standard input signal
DIP switch 3 = OFF

• The green LED switches on steadily when the position is reached.
• If the control signal changes, the actuator stem moves to reach the new position. During the spindle movement, the green LED blinks.

Custom input signal
DIP switch 3 = ON – Max range 0-10 VDC or 0-20 mA
(See Table 1: DIP switch settings).

• The custom input signal limits must be applied during the self-calibration cycle.
• First, set the minimum input signal (start-point), within the range 0…6 VDC (0…12 mA) and confirm it by pressing the calibration button.
• The LED will illuminate, a steady green for 2 seconds, indicating correct entry. If the LED illuminates a steady yellow for 2 seconds, an incorrect setting is indicated and must be re-entered.
• Set the maximum input signal, within the range 3…10 VDC (6…20 mA) and confirm it by pressing the calibration button.
• The LED will illuminates a steady green for 2 seconds, indicating correct entry.

IMPORTANT: If the LED illuminates a steady yellow for 2 seconds, an incorrect setting is indicated and the procedure must be restarted.

• When the procedure is finished and the actuator returns to its operating mode, reaching the position corresponding to the input signal value, the LED will illuminate a steady green.
• If the control signal changes, the actuator stem will move to the new position. During the stem movement, the LED flashes green.

Normal operating mode

• The actuator position is indicated by the end stroke cursors on the yoke.
• When the actuator moves, the green LED blinks.
• When the actuator stops, the green LED switches on steadily.

Actuator status indication

The actuator microprocessor carries out a diagnostic when a failure is detected. The actuator status is indicated by the LED. When the microprocessor detects that the stem has come to an unexpected stop, it initiates a retry cycle. This is repeated three times and if unsuccessful the actuator status switches to fault mode, indicated by a blinking yellow LED.
If the problem is cleared during the retry cycles, the actuator will continue its normal function.
