ON-OFF ACTUATOR FOR VC SERIES BALANCED

HYDRONIC VALVES

These 2-position (open/close) control actuators are used with

VCZ1000, 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 applications.

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 thermostats. Recommended control

thermostats include T8601D, T8401C,T8380 and T8360

families.

VC actuators use cam-operated cartridge travel to resist water

hammer. Internal limit switches prevent motor overrun.

VC2, VC4, VC60, VC8 INSTALLATION Put the VC actuator manual lever in the manual open or the fully open (down) position to allow initial system flushing with the actuator mounted. This may be done without electrical hook-up. Alternatively, reusable flush caps, part # 272866B, may be purchased separately for use in initial flushing of dirty hydronic systems. When Installing This Product... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Read these instructions carefully.

Flexible Conduit Attachment WIRING NOTE: Each 3-wire (SPDT) actuator must have individual SPDT controllers. Use series 40 or 80 for single controller to control multiple valves. Figures 4, 5, 6, & 7 wiring connections. Port “A” open and closed denote valve open and closed positions respectively.

VC2, VC4, VC60, VC8 CHECKOUT 1. 2. 3. 4. Fig. 8. Actuator wiring for SPDT controller (Series 20 and 60). 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. 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.
