Operating 
When being put into service (with valve fitted), the 
actuator moves to both end positions and stores the 
associated increments. The range of the control signal 
is then assigned to this effective stroke. The motor 
positions the valve and cuts out as soon as the stroke 
position matches the controller’s output signal. In the 
end positions or in the event of an overload, the motor 
cuts out after 2 minutes at the latest. If the control 
voltage has not changed after 2 hours (in the range of 
0 - 0.5 V), the motor briefly runs to the end position 
and corrects its position memory (if necessary). The 
MVA 2-10 performs a complete cycle every 24 hours 
in order to prevent the valve plug from jamming or 
sticking. The LED lights up if power is applied and 
flashes as long as the motor is running. 
Direction of operation 1: 
As the positioning signal increases, the actuator 
spindle extends on 2-way through valves and on the 
EDV 3-way valve the control passage opens. 
Direction of operation 2: 
As the positioning signal increases, the actuator 
spindle retracts on the 2-way through valves and on 
the EDV 3-way valve the control passage closes. 
The black ground cable 1a (24 V~) and the blue 
ground cable 1b (control voltage) should both be con-
nected to a common ground cable. 
After removing the cap on the cover, the following 
settings can be made using jumpers: 
 The input signal can be set to 0 - 10 V, 5.2 - 10 V 
or 0 - 4.8 V. 
 The direction of operation 1 or 2 can be selected; 
the factory setting is 1 (DA). 
Put the cap back on after making the settings.
