The VA-8122 Proportional Valve Actuator is an electric

actuator that provides proportional control of valves

with up to a 5/16 in. stroke in Heating, Ventilating, and

Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications. This compact,

non-spring return actuator has a 22 lb minimum

seating force in a compact, easy-to-install package.

The VA-8122 can be ordered factory coupled to the

1/2 in. or 3/4 in. VG7000 Series bronze valves for hot

or cold water service only. The VA-8122 can be used

for retrofits of VT Series Terminal Unit Valves (with

slotted stems) and VB-5x39 Series Flare Valves.

Refer to the appropriate valve literature for more

information.

Operation

The actuator uses a reversible synchronous motor to

accurately position the valve. The motor can reliably

generate 22 pounds of force in either the Drive Down

(DD) or Drive Up (DU) direction.

Once the valve closes, a shutoff force builds up. When

this force reaches 22 pounds, a lever within the

actuator operates a force sensor that stops the motor.

The constant load at the end of travel ensures tight

valve seat shutoff and compensates for seat wear.

Field calibration of shutoff is not required. The actuator

maintains the shutoff force and its last position even if

power is removed.

Note: The valve stem can be positioned manually by

turning the manual adjustment knob shown in

Figure 2. Rotating the knob counterclockwise

moves the valve stem up.

VA-8122 Proportional Valve Actuator Product/Technical Bulletin 3

Mounting

IMPORTANT: Do not use on valves having a

stroke over 5/16 in. Travel beyond

5/16 in. will damage the actuator or

prevent complete shutoff.

Note: In horizontal piping applications, it is

recommended that the valve be mounted

within 85° of the upright position. When

mounted in vertical piping, the valve must be

protected from moisture.

Unpack the actuator and proceed as follows:

1. Remove the actuator cover by pressing inward on

the plastic tabs while sliding the cover up and

forward.

2. Make sure that the lever plate is within 1/4 in.

(6.4 mm) of the upper stop. (See Figure 4.)

Note: The extended portion of the stem retainer

must be located on the right so that it lines up

in the window of the cover. It may be

necessary to pull the valve stem up to meet

the coupler or to rotate the manual adjustment

knob (shown in Figure 4) clockwise to run the

coupler down.

7. Push the white plastic stem retainer until the

coupling clip moves forward into the groove, and

the retainer locks the clip in place.

8. Verify that the valve stem is located at the back of

the groove by examining the connection.

To remove the coupling clip, use pliers to grip the stem

retainer and pull outward. (See Figure 6.)

Calibration

The actuator drives in proportion to the amount of

change in the input control signal. It accepts the input

control signal ranges by means of jumpers. Electrical

connections for the control input are made via spade

terminals that are mounted on the circuit board located

under the actuator’s cover. (See Figure 2 for the

location of the calibration components.)

Jumpers

The type of input control signal is determined by the

position of Jumper W1. When Jumper W1 is in the

VDC position (factory setting), the input signal is

DC voltage. When Jumper W1 is in the mA position,

the signal changes to current input. The direction of

action, either DD (factory setting) or DU, is selected

with Jumper W2. The range of the input signal is

determined by the position of Jumpers W3, W4,

and W5. (See Table 1 and Table 2.)

Direction of Action

The actuator’s direction of action is selected with

Jumper W2. (See Figure 3.) The action of the actuator

can be reversed by moving Jumper W2 on the circuit

board. When Jumper W2 is in the DD position (factory

setting), a low control input signal will cause the

actuator lever arm to move to the highest position

(valve stem up). A high control input signal will cause

the actuator lever arm to move to the lowest position

(valve stem down). When Jumper W2 is in the

DU position, the lever arm will be low for a low control

input signal and high for a high control input signal.

(See Figure 7.)

Auto Calibration

The VA-8122 is factory calibrated for a 5/16 in. valve

stroke. To compensate for minor variations in strokes,

use the Auto Calibration or AUTOCAL mode during the

calibration and installation of the actuator. This mode

allows the actuator to define the control input range

proportionally over the valve stroke stored in

nonvolatile memory (retains data when power is lost or

removed).

Note: Once calibrated, it is not necessary to

recalibrate if a jumper is changed.

To activate the AUTOCAL mode, depress the

AUTOCAL pushbutton for approximately 3 seconds

until the LED turns off. The actuator drives to the

DU end-stop, then to the DD end-stop, and stores

these positions in nonvolatile memory. The actuator

will drive to the setpoint determined by the control

signal applied after going through AUTOCAL.

Note: AUTOCAL mode only occurs when the

pushbutton is depressed. It does not occur

automatically when power is supplied to the

actuator.

LED

The VA-8122 has a green LED display to indicate the

actuator’s operating mode. (See Table 4.)

MISE EN GARDE : Risque de décharge

électrique.

Débrancher l'alimentation avant de réaliser tout

raccordement électrique afin d'éviter tout risque de

décharge électrique.

CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.

Do not apply power to the system before checking all

wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly

connected wires may result in permanent damage to

the equipment.

MISE EN GARDE : Risque de dégâts matériels.

Ne pas mettre le système sous tension avant d'avoir

vérifié tous les raccords de câblage. Des fils formant

un court-circuit ou connectés de façon incorrecte

risquent d'endommager irrémédiablement

l'équipement.

IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in

accordance with the National

Electrical Code and local

regulations.

When a 24 VAC power signal is applied to the +24 and

COM terminals, the VA-8122 accepts a DC voltage

input control signal or current input signal at the

VDC/mA (+) and COM (–) terminals.

The VA-8122 wiring connections are made to the

tab receptacles shown in Figure 8. Use either the

quick-connect terminals shown in Figure 9 or an

M9000-105 Pluggable (3-position) Terminal Block.

IMPORTANT: Install all the quick-connect

terminals in the same direction to

each other to prevent the terminals

from shorting. (See Figure 9.)

Figure 9: Orientation of Terminals

Input lines to the actuator must be wired correctly for

the valve to move in the proper direction. (Refer to the

specific controller wiring instructions as needed.) Wire

the actuator as follows:

1. Push in the two tabs on the side of the actuator

cover and lift and remove it.

2. Insert the controller leads through the plate on the

side of the actuator.

3. Make the wiring connections to the terminals as

shown in Figure 8.

Commissioning

Field calibration of the force sensor is not required.

If power is removed from the VA-8122, the valve stem

remains in its intermediate position until power is

reapplied.

If the control signal to the actuator is lost, the valve

stem moves to the zero input signal position:

valve stem up in DD mode or down in DU mode.

Checkout

The VA-8122 is factory set as follows:

•Jumper W1 in the VDC position

•Jumper W2 in the DD position

•Jumpers W3 and W4 in the 0 to 10 VDC position

•Jumper W5 in the "—" position

If this is the intended operation, proceed as follows:

1. Depress the AUTOCAL pushbutton. (Actuator

drives to the DU end-stop, the DD end-stop, and

then returns to the setpoint.)

2. Provide minimum control signal. (Actuator drives

the valve stem up, and the motor stops.)

VA-8122 Proportional Valve Actuator Product/Technical Bulletin 7

3. Provide maximum control signal. (Actuator drives

the valve stem down, and the motor stops.)

4. Observe the vertical movement of the indicator

within the actuator window to ensure proper

positioning. The installation is complete.

Note: If factory settings are to be changed, see the

Calibration section.
