Argus-RTAM100-24

Thermal actuator 100 N

Thermal actuators with position indication for

control of valves in heating or cooling systems. The

actuator can be used to control radiator circuits,

solar heating systems, heating or cooling coils, floor

heating, etc. The VA54 adapter is included upon

delivery.

9 Protection class IP54

9 Stroke 4 mm

9 100 % protection against leaky valves

9 Noiseless and maintenance-free

9 Power consumption 1 W

9 Modern and compact design

Function

The actuator uses a PTC resistor-heated elastic element

and a compression spring. When the supply voltage is

switched on, the wax element is heated, moving the

integrated piston. The force generated by the movement

is transferred to the valve stem, opening and closing the

valve.

Installation

The actuator connects to the valve using an adapter with

a snap-on connection. The actuator can be mounted

vertically or horizontally. Upside down mounting is also

possible but might reduce the life of the actuator.

Initiation

Normally closed type actuators are delivered with the

actuator ﬁxed in an open position. This means hydrau-

lic circuits can be ﬁlled and vented with the actuator

mounted. The valve will remain open until the actuator

has been activated for more than 6 minutes and the power

supply interrupted.

Adjustment to valves of other brands

The actuator can be adjusted to almost any brand of valve

by simply connecting the actuator to a snap-on adapter. A

model overview is available in the adapter model table on

page 3. The actuator uses a patented solution which offers

100 % protection against leaking valves, ensuring a long

lifespan.

Normally closed (NC) models Once the supply voltage is applied and the dead time has expired, the valve will open* as the actuator stem retracts inwards. Once the supply voltage is cut and the hold time has expired, the wax element will cool and the valve will close* through the closing force of the compression spring and actuator stem extending outward. The closing force of the compression spring keeps the valve normally closed. * This applies to valves that close when the stem is pushed down.
