CHECKOUT
1. Raise the set point of the thermostat above room temperature to initiate
a call for heat. Red valve position lever should move downward to the
open position.
2. For auxiliary switch models, observe all control devices. The valve should
open and the auxiliary switch (if present) should close and make at the
end of the opening stroke to activate auxiliary equipment.
3. Lower the set point of the zone thermostat below room temperature.
4. Observe the control devices. The valve should close and all auxiliary
equipment should stop.
SERVICE
This valve should be serviced by a trained, experienced service technician.
1. If the valve is leaking, drain system OR isolate valve from the system.
2. Check to see if the cartridge needs to be replaced.
3. If the motor or other internal parts of the actuator is damaged, replace the
entire actuator assembly.
NOTE: Honeywell hydronic valves are designed and tested for silent
operation in properly designed and installed systems. However, water
noises may occur as a result of excessive water velocity. Piping noises may
occur in high temperature (over 212°F [100°C]) systems with insufficient
water pressure.

the thermostat contacts open, RLY1 is de-energized and the valve
motor is driven closed through SW1 and the NC contacts of SW3.
When the valve reaches the fully closed position, the cam operated
SW2 closes and SW1 opens anticipating the next call for heat cycle.

Figure 9 - Actuator wiring for SPST controller (Series 40 and 80).
These 2-position (open/close) control actuators are used with VCZ
1000, 1100, 6000 and 6100 series hydronic valves in a normal indoor
environment to provide quick opening/closing to control the flow of hot
and/or chilled water or glycol solution to 60% concentration. They are
designed for on-off "zone" control of heating/cooling systems, or to
control individual fan coil, baseboard radiator or convector applica-
tions.
Depending on the model selected, the actuator can be controlled by
a low or line voltage SPST or SPDT controller, such as a room
thermostat, aquastat or flow switch.
VC80 series valve actuators are designed to be used with hard-wired
electronic thermostats with series anticipator or power-stealing ther-
mostats. Recommended control thermostats include T8601D, T8401C,
T8380 and T8360 families.
VC actuators use cam-operated cartridge travel to resist water ham-
mer. Internal limit switches prevent motor overrun.

Figure 8 - Actuator wiring for SPDT controller (Series 20 and 60).
WHEN USED WITH SPDT (3-WIRE) CONTROLLER (Figure 8): On
a call for heat, the NO thermostat contacts close, the valve opens.
When the valve reaches the fully open position, the cam actuated
SW1 closes and SW2 opens. When the need for heat is satisfied the
NC thermostat contacts close, energizing the valve through SW1 to
close the valve. When the valve reaches the fully close position, the
cam actuated SW2 closes and SW1 opens anticipating the next call
for heat cycle.
In a power failure the valve will stay at whatever position it was in
when the power was interrupted. When power is restored, the valve
will respond to the controller demand.
NOTE: VC2114 and VC8114 actuators must be used with separately-
powered (hardwired) electronic controllers. Their sustained current
draw is too low for power stealing (parasitic power) thermostats or
series anticipators of electromechanical thermostats.
WHEN USED WITH SPST CONTROLLER (Figure 9): On a call for
heat, RLY1 is energized making the NO contacts in SW3, the valve
opens. When the valve reaches the fully open position the cam
operated SW1 closes and SW2 opens. When need for heat is satisfied,
