FAN COIL VALVES AND ACTUATORS 
NOTE! 
It is not necessary to drain the system if the valve body 
assembly remains in the pipeline. 
1. Switch power supplies OFF. Disconnect electrical leads,
 carefully noting the position and colour of each lead. 
2. Place the manual operating lever in the MAN. OPEN
 position. See Fig. 8. 
3. Remove actuator by depressing locking button and
 lifting straight up. 
Wiring 
Disconnect the power supply before connecting wiring to 
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. All wiring 
must comply with local codes and ordinances. 
See Fig. 9 and 10 for typical hookups. 
TO ATTACH FLEXIBLE CONDUIT 
1. Strip cable jacket. 
2. Fit conduit strain relief onto cable. 
3. Slide strain relief nut over wires. 
4. Connect cable and actuator wires. 
5. Slide cable wires down through slot in the wiring hole, so
 that the strain relief nut is inside the actuator housing. 
6. Secure nut onto strain relief. 
7. Install actuator cover.

OPERATION 
CAUTION 
ON 24V SYSTEMS, NEVER JUMPER THE VALVE 
COIL TERMINALS EVEN TEMPORARILY. THIS CAN 
BURN OUT THE HEAT ANTICIPATOR IN THE 
THERMOSTAT. 
Automatic Operation 
On a call for heat or cool by the fan coil thermostat, the valve 
motor operates, opening the valve. When the call ends, the 
valve closes by integral spring return. 
Manual Operation 
The 2-way normally closed and 3-way motorized valve 
actuators can be opened manually by lifting the manual 
opening lever over the stop and pushing slowly and firmly to 
the MAN. OPEN position. The stop permits the valve to be 
locked in the open position. The valve returns to automatic 
position when it is energized. 
Normally Closed Models 
With the manual opener set to AUTO and the actuator 
energized, the A port is opened as shown in Fig. 11A and 
12A. When the actuator is de-energized, a spring-return 
mechanism drives the valve to the port A closed position as 
shown in Fig. 11B and 12B. The valve can also be opened 
with no electrical power by moving the manual opening lever 
over the stop and pushing slowly and firmly to the MAN. 
OPEN position. The stop permits the valve to be locked in an 
open position.  The valve returns to the automatic position
