The VA9208-xxx-x Series Electric Spring Return Valve
Actuators are direct-mount valve actuators. These
bidirectional actuators are used to provide accurate
positioning on Johnson Controls® VG1000 Series 1-1/
4, 1-1/2, and 2 in. (DN32, DN40, and DN50) ball valves
in Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
applications. A mechanical spring return system
provides rated torque with and without power applied to
the actuator. The series includes the following control
responses:
On/Off, 24 V, 120 VAC, 230 VAC power
On/Off and Floating Point, 24 V power
Proportional, 24 V power, for 0(2) to 10 VDC or
0(4) to 20 mA Control Signal
Optional line voltage auxiliary switches indicate an
endoscope position or perform switching functions
within the selected rotation range.

Table 1: Features and Benefits (Part 1 of 2)
Features Benefits
Direct Mounting with a Single Screw Reduces installation time and cost.
Electronic Stall Detection Protects from overload at all angles of rotation. Power consumption is
reduced holding mode. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its
rotation range without the need for mechanical end switches.
Double-Insulated Construction Eliminates need for electrical ground connection for regulatory agency
compliance.
Microprocessor-Controlled Brushless DC
Motor (-AGx and -GGx Models)
Provides constant runtime independent of torque and ensures long life.
External Mode Selection Switch
(-AGx and -GGx Models)
Permits control logic reversal for Floating Control (-AGx Models). Permits
calibration input signal range selection, and control logic reversal for
Proportional Control (-GGx Models).
Integral Cables with Colored and Numbered
Conductors
Simplify installation and field wiring.
Integral Connectors for 3/8 in. (10 mm)
Flexible Metal Conduit (FMC)
Simplify installation and field wiring.
Optional Integrated Auxiliary Switches Provide two integrated line-voltage-capable Single-Pole, Double-Throw
(SPDT) switches (one fixed and one adjustable switch point) that factuality
safety interfacing or signaling.
Plenum Rated Models Enable use in other environmental air spaces (plenums) in accordance
with section 300.22(C) of the National Electric Code.
Optional Thermal Barrier Provides for 284°F (140°C) hot water or 15 psi saturated steam
applications.
Available Weather Shield for Field Mounting Provides NEMA 3R protection for the actuator.
