Specifications
Actuators Built for Hard Work
In AC applications, Valvcon V Series actuators provide several levels of
protection against overloads and overheating.
Thermal Overload Breaker — If the motor is running too hot, for any
reason, it will automatically be disconnected until it cools down. After
cooling, it will resume normal operation.
Fuse Protected Input Power — On AC Hot and AC Common connections.
If power is mis-applied, the fuses will isolate damage to the Motor Board,
allowing for easy repair.
Auto-resetting Fuses for Limit Indicator Outputs — Protect the limit
switches and internal circuitry from overloads caused outside the actuator.
The working limit is .25 amps, enough for any pilot or indicator
applications. They reset automatically, approximately 3 minutes after
the overload condition is corrected.
Stall Protection — (modulating applications) If the actuator cannot
achieve the position commanded by the control signal, it will automatically
disconnect power to the motor until the control signal commands the
actuator to drive in the opposite direction.
Finally, the actuator has been carefully designed to minimize electrical
interference with other equipment. Emission levels comply with Part 15 Actuator is shown with the optional Handwheel installed.
