ON/OFF connection with external relay

Replacement of the old proportional MVT56/57

Connect  together  the  white  and  the  green  cable;  then  connect 

the white cable of the new actuator in place of the white cable of 

MVT56/57, the new blue cable in place of the old green cable and 

the new red cable in place of the old brown cable..

If you need you can make use of the feedback signal, not available 

on the old models of actuator.

Do not make electrical connection or changing operation in case 

actuators are powered.

Replacement of 3-point ON/OFF MVT28/44

ATTENTION

!  In  the  3-point  ON/OFF  MVT28/44  actuators  to  be  re

-

placed, the common wire is withe, while in the new actuators it is 

BROWN (look at the scheme on the previous page). 

RANGE SELECTION (ONLY MVT503/503S MODELS)

The  actuator  is  supplied  prearranged  for  0-10V  control  signal  and 

direct action; to modify this setting, follow these instructions:

• 

Remove the cap and the connector (look at the following pic

-

ture):

For manual override use allen key of 3 mm.

• 

Change the DIP switches as indicated in the following scheme:

DIP 1 

ON = INV action / stroke 

OFF = DIR action / stroke

DIP 2 

ON = 2-10 / 6-10   

OFF = 0-10 / 0-5

DIP 3 

ON = Range SEQ   

OFF = Range NORM

DIP 4 

ON = fixed stroke   

OFF = auto calibr. stroke

DIP 5 

ON = 4-20mA 

 

OFF = voltage range

DIP 6 

ON = Learning / stroke 

OFF = Running / stroke

The  actuator  can  be  coupled  with  push/pull  valves  VMB.T,  VSB.T 

(with MVTx03) and  VX.T (with MVTx03S) using auto calibration stroke; 

or to valves with spring return as VSX..PB and VSXT..PB or similar (with 

MVTx03S)  using  fixed  stroke.  Actuators  with  fixed  stroke  (DIP  4  ON) 

have only reverse action.

Through DIP 4 you can choose (on the basis of the coupled valve) if 

the stroke must be fixed or automatically calibrated. In case of fixed 

stroke (DIP 4 ON) the learning function (DIP 6) and the setting of di

-

rect/reverse action (DIP 1) change their meaning: DIP 1  and 6 will be 

used to choose the fixed stroke value (look at the table).

Direct Reverse action

Trough DIP1 is possible to set direct or reverse action. In direct action 

without control signal the actuator is fully retracted with feedback 

set to 2V. With reverse action the actuator is fully exteded and the 

feedback without control signal is 2 V in this position.

Through DIP 2,3 and 5 it is possible to set 5 different input ranges. If 

DIP 5 is ON, the input range is set at 4-20mA and DIP 2 and 3 have no 

meaning. If DIP 5 is OFF, the possible ranges are: 0-10/2-10 if DIP 3 is 

OFF and 0-5/6-10 if DIP 3 is ON.

Automatic stroke calibration (valid only for DIP n. 4 in OFF)

This function helps to calibrate the maximum valve time stroke, so 

that the actuator can place the valve correctly following the control 

signal. If the actuator is powered on, this action can be repeated 

any time DIP 6 goes from OFF to ON and DIP 4 is OFF. During normal 

operation, it is possible to choose the position of DIP 6: at each start 

up the stroke calibration will be carried out if DIP 6 is ON; it will be 

maintained the previous stroke if DIP 6 is OFF.

Initial positioning

It will be carried out every time the actuator will be powered on and 

the stroke calibration occurs. This procedure allows the actuator to 

start from a defined position and then follow the control signal. That 

position depends on the selection of DIP 1 (DIP 4 in OFF).

In case the DIP 4 is ON, the initial position means fully extended.

Retry function

If an unexpected stop during the stroke occurs, this function has the 

aim to make it disappear. The actuator will be driven in the opposite 

direction and then it will try again to reach the position.  

Feedback output

The actuator is equipped with a proper output to transmit the feed

-

back  signal  relating  to  the  supposed  actuator  position.  This  signal 

can vary from 2 to 10V.

During  the  “automatic  stroke  calibration”  and  “Initial  positioning” 

function it is fixed at 2V.
