SSA81U 24 Vac Electronic Valve

Actuator: Floating Control

Fail-in-Place

Siemens Industry, Inc.

Description

The 599 Series SSA81U Electronic Valve Actuator requires a 24 Vac power supply and

receives a floating control signal to control a valve. This actuator is designed to work

with 599 Series Zone Valves with a 1/10-inch (2.5 mm) stroke and a threaded valve

bonnet that fits the actuator.

Features

•Direct-coupled installation without tools

•Manual override with hex wrench

•Visual position indication

Application

For use in heating and cooling HVAC applications with Siemens 599 Series Zone

Valves that need 24 lb (105N) nominal force.

Operation

The actuators can be driven manually to any position between 0 and 1 with a 3 mm hex

wrench. The control signal from the controller; however, will take priority over any

manual position.

Mounting and

Installation

Figure 3. Mounting Position.

Mount the actuator in one of the allowable positions shown in Figure 3.

NOTE: Vertical is the recommended position.

When mounting the actuator in a plenum, the proper cable must be attached to meet

local codes.

Allow 8-inches (200 mm) above the actuator and 8-inches (200 mm) behind the cable

for service.

Installation Instructions are included with the actuator.

Wiring

Figure 4. SSA81U Wiring Diagram.

•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.

•Use one transformer to power up to 10 actuators.

Manual Override

The actuators can be driven manually to any position between 0and 1with a 3 mm hex key.

The actuator will maintain its position until power is provided or restored. A control signal

from the controller, however, will take priority over any manual position.

NOTES:

•Do not perform a manual override while the power supply is connected: The actuator

will not track properly when the control signal is applied. A short power-off/power-on

sequence is recommended to recalibrate the actuator.

•To hold the actuator in the manually set position, the connecting cable must be

unplugged.

Position Indicator at 1

NOTE:

The 0and 1position

markings are for

reference only and not

for stroke measurement.

Start-Up

Check the wiring and the position indication. See Figure 5 for referred positions 0and 1on

the position indicator disc.

SSA81U Normally Closed

•When the position indicator disc is at the 0position the output shaft is extended

(two-way valve closed).

•When the position indicator disc rotates to position 1, the output shaft is retracted

(two-way valve open).

Troubleshooting

See Wiring for proper connections.

If the actuator does not provide full flow or full close off, check that the actuator is

properly attached to the valve. If not, turn power off, tighten the bonnet ring on to the

valve completely, and power up to recalibrate.

If the actuator becomes inoperative, replace it.

disposal in terms of the applicable European Directive and may not be

disposed of as domestic garbage.

•Dispose of the device through channels provided for this

purpose.

•Comply with all local and currently applicable laws and

regulations.
