MT Series SSC Electronic

Valve Actuator, 24 Vac/dc

Proportional Control

Siemens Industry, Inc.

Description The Powermite 599 MT SSC61U and SSC61.5U electronic valve actuators require a

24 Vac or 24 Vdc supply and a 0 to 10 Vdc control signal. They proportionally control

Powermite 599 MT Series valves with a 7/32-inch (5.5 mm) stroke and a threaded

valve bonnet that fits the actuators.

Features •UL listed for plenum installations.

•Direct-coupled installation without special tools.

•Manual override.

•Visual position indication.

Application The Powermite 599 MT SSC61 series electronic actuators and MT Series valves are

used in closed loop heating and cooling applications. They control hot or chilled water

or steam (<5 psi) for convectors, fan coil units, unit conditioners, radiation, reheat coils,

and similar terminal units. The SSC61 series actuators accept a plenum cable or 3/8-

inch flex conduit connection.

Operation The stroke of the actuator shaft is proportional to the control signal on terminal Y.

A 0 Vdc control signal retracts the shaft. In the event of a power failure with no control

voltage, the SSC61U fails-in-place and holds its last position.

In the event of a power failure, the SSC61.5U returns to the stem up position. The

SSC61.5U includes an electronic return mechanism that functions as follows (Figure 1):

•At power-up (t0), a capacitor

must charge to its maximum

capacity (Max, tc). This will take

a maximum of 180 seconds,

during which time no actuator

movement occurs.

•Once the capacitor is fully

charged (tc), normal actuator

operation occurs.

•If a subsequent power failure

occurs (tn) longer than 5

seconds, the capacitor

discharges (td) and the actuator

returns to its normal spring

return position.

Figure 1. SSC61.5U Electronic Spring Return

Mechanism.

CAUTION:

Before applying power, make certain a valve

is connected to the actuator.

If applying power to the actuator when a

valve is not connected, the actuator will

respond to a control signal and the shaft will

extend until it reaches its maximum end stop.

Thereafter, it will not respond to any signal.

If this occurs:

1. Disconnect power.

2. Turn the manual position indicator (see

Figure 5 and Figure 6)on the top of the

actuator to the 0position and verify that

the actuator shaft retracts completely.

3. Connect a valve to the actuator, and

reapply power. The actuator will return to

normal operation.

Operation,

Continued

Calibration Stroke

The SSC61x writes its calibration stroke parameters to nonvolatile memory on the first

start-up of the actuator. Successive start-ups bypass the calibration stroke unless the

memory is manually cleared. If installing the actuator on a different valve (such as on a

replacement valve), manually clear the calibration stroke from memory as follows:

1. Remove the terminal cover using a

Phillips head screwdriver.

2. Locate the hole on the circuit board

with the shorting bars.

3. With power applied to the unit, insert

and gently twist a flat-blade

screwdriver to electrically connect the

shorting bars (Figure 2). The SSC61x

then performs a new calibration stroke.

4. Secure the terminal cover back in

place.

Figure 2. Manually Clearing Calibration

Stroke from Memory.

Mounting and

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

Figure 3. Mounting 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.

Wiring Use earth ground isolating, step-down Class 2 transformers. Do not use

autotransformers.

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

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

Do not power more than 10 actuators by one transformer. (Use 0.5 amp fuse on

secondary per actuator.)

CAUTION:

Terminals must be properly wired for correct function and full life of the

actuator.
