SKD6xU Electronic Valve

Actuators

24 Vac Proportional Control

Siemens Industry, Inc.

Description The Flowrite 599 Series SKD6xU Electronic Valve Actuators require a 24 Vac supply

and receive a 0 to 10 Vdc or a 4 to 20 mA control signal to proportionally control a

valve. These actuators are designed to work with Flowrite 599 Series valves with a 3/4-

inch (20 mm) stroke.

Features •Direct-coupled installation requires no special tools or adjustments

•Visual and electronic stroke indication

•Die-cast aluminum housing

•Manual override

•Spring return to fail-safe position or non-spring return fail-in-place

•Automatic stroke calibration

•Maintenance-free

Application These electronic actuators are designed to be used with Flowrite 599 Series valves and

Siemens Industry standard valves with a 3/4-inch (20 mm) stroke in liquid service

applications.

CAUTION:

Do not use in low pressure steam applications.

Operation The actuator accepts a 0 to 10 Vdc or a 4 to 20 mA control signal. The actuator

mounted on a valve, produces a stroke proportional to the input signal. When power is

turned off or in the event of a power failure, the SKD62U Actuator spring returns the

valve to its normal position, and the SKD60U Actuator fails in place.

Figure 5. Figure 6.

Spring return: When power is turned off or

in the event of a power failure, the actuator

spring returns the valve to its normal

position.

Non-spring return: When power is turned

off or in the event of a power failure, the

actuator maintains its position.

Mounting and

Installation

Figure 8. Acceptable Mounting Positions.

The vertical position is the recommended position for mounting. Other positions are

allowed. When using the Weather Shield for NEMA 3R rating, the vertical position is

required. See Weather Shield installation instructions and Figure 8.

Allow four inches (100 mm) around the sides and back of the actuator and eight inches

(200 mm) above and to the front of the actuator.

See dimensions in Figure 17.

Detailed installation instructions for field mounting are shipped with the actuator.

Start-up Check the wiring for proper connections.

NOTE:The valve body assembly determines the complete assembly action.

Stroke Calibration To determine the stroke positions 0% and 100% in the valve, calibration is required

when the valve/actuator are commissioned for the first time.

The actuator must be mechanically connected to a valve and must have a 24 Vac

power supply. The calibration procedure can be repeated as often as necessary.

CAUTION:

Before starting calibration, be sure the manual adjuster

is set to Automatic to register the actual values.

There is a slot on the printed circuit boards of the actuators. To

initiate the calibration procedure, the contacts inside this slot

must be short-circuited, for example, with a screwdriver

(see Figure 9).

Automatic calibration proceeds as follows (see Figure 10):

•Actuator runs to the 0 stroke position (1), green LED flashes.

•Actuator then runs to the 100 stroke position (2), green LED

flashes.

•Measured values are stored in the EPROM.

•The actuator now moves to the position defined by control

signal Y or Z (3), and the green LED now glows steadily

(normal operation).

•Throughout this procedure, output U is inactive; meaning,

the values only represent actual positions when the green

LED stops flashing and remains on continuously.

Normally Closed Valve Actuator pressure cylinder moves:

•Outward (0 to 1): Valve opens.

•Inward (1 to 0): Valve closes.

Normally Open Valve Actuator pressure cylinder moves:

•Outward (0 to 1): Valve closes.

•Inward (1 to 0): Valve opens.

Three-Way Valve Actuator pressure cylinder moves

•Outward (0 to 1): Valve opens between port NC and C.

•Inward (1 to 0): Valve opens between ports NO and C.

The measuring voltage at terminal U provides valve stem position feedback to an

indicating instrument or building automation system.

Manual Operation

Figure 12. The Manual Setting Knob in Manual and Automatic Position.

- Turn the manual setting knob clockwise for manual operation.

- A red indicator becomes visible as you begin to crank. Each complete revolution

(360°) is equal to 3/32-inch (2.5 mm) stroke.

- If a signal is sent to the actuator while it is in manual operation, the actuator will

move but the control will not be accurate.

- The valve cannot be commanded to its 0% position while in manual operation.

Automatic operation For automatic operation the manual override knob must be in the fully closed position.

Turn the manual override knob counterclockwise until the red indicator disappears.

Wiring Do not use autotransformers. Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2 power

supplies.

Determine supply transformer rating by summing total VA of all actuators used.

The maximum rating for Class 2 step-down transformer is 100 VA.

•Since SKD6xU actuators require ≈20 VA, a maximum of four actuators can be

•Operating more than four SKD6xU actuators requires additional transformers or

separate 100 VA power supplies.

•The position output signal U will switch from 0 to 10 Vdc to 4 to 20 mA when a 4

to 20 mA input signal is selected and used on the Y terminal.
