Safety Notes

To avoid injury of persons and 

damages to the device, it is absolutely 

necessary to read and observe these 

instructions carefully.
Necessary assembly, start-up, and maintenance 

work must be performed by qualified and 

authorized personnel only.
Please comply with the instructions of the 

system manufacturer or system operator.

Do not remove the cover before the 

power supply is fully switched off.

AC 24 V

Connect via safety isolating 

transformer.

Disposal instruction

This product should be dismantled 

and its components sorted, if possible, 

in various groups before recycling or 

disposal.

Always follow the local disposal regulations.

Mounting 

The actuator should be mounted with the valve 

stem in either horizontal position or pointing 

upwards. 

Installation 

•  Check the valve neck.

•  The actuator should be in steam up position 

(factory setting) 

•  Ensure that the actuator is mounted securely 

on the valve body 

.

 

The actuator is fixed to the valve body by 

means of a ribbed nut which requires no 

tools for mounting. The ribbed nut should 

be tightened by hand.

•  Wire the actuator according to the wiring 

diagram 

.

•  The direction of stem movement can be 

observed on the position indicator 

.

Auto sleep mode 

1.  If actuator is not mounted to the valve but 

connected to the power supply, it will first 

run to its extracted end position (buzz noise 

from the motor will appear). This behavior 

will last for max 3 minutes when power 

supply will be automatically cut off from 

electro motor and LED indicators. 

2.  It is mandatory to drive the spindle of the 

actuator to upper position before it will be 

installed on valve (please refer to manual 

override drawings)! 

3.  Auto sleep mode switches back to learning 

mode by pressing RESET button or by 

cycling power supply.

Wiring 

Do not touch anything on the PCB!

Switch off the power line before wire 

the actuator! Lethal voltage!

Wire the actuator according to the wiring 

diagram.

DIP switch settings 

  Factory settings: 

ALL switches (except SW 1 which is in ON 

position) are in OFF position! 

 

NOTE:

 

All combinations of DIP switches are allowed. 

All functions that are selected are added 

consecutively. 

SW 1: 0/2 -  Input signal range selector 

If set to OFF position, the input signal is in 

the range from 2-10 V (voltage input) or from 

4-20 mA (current input). 
If set to ON position, the input signal is in the 

range from 0-10 V (voltage input) or from 0-20 

mA (current input).
SW 2 : D/I - Direct or inverse acting selector 

If set to OFF position, the actuator is direct 

acting (stem lowers as voltage increases). 
If the actuator is set to ON position, the 

actuator is inverse acting (stem raises as voltage 

increases).
SW 3:  ---/Seq - Normal or sequential mode 

selector 

If set to OFF position, the actuator is working in 

range 0(2)-10 V or 0(4)-20 mA. 
If set to ON position, the actuator is working in 

sequential range; 0(2)-5(6) V or (0(4)-10(12)mA) 

or (5(6)-10 V) or (10(12)-20 mA).
SW 4:  0-5 V/5-10 V - Input signal range in 

sequential mode

If set to OFF position, the actuator is working in 

sequential range 0(2)-5(6) V or 0(4)-10(12) mA.
If set to ON position, the actuator is working in 

sequential range; 5(6)-10 V or 10(12)-20 mA.

SW 5:  LIN/MOD - Linear or modified flow 

through the VZL valves

If set to ON position, the flow through the 

LINEAR characterized VZL valve  will modify to  

equal percentage-wise equals the control signal. 
If set to OFF position, the flow through the valve 

VZ or VZL remains same as is valve characteristic  

in accordance to the control signal.
SW 6: ---/ASTK - Anti-blocking function

Exercises the valve to avoid blocking in periods 

when the heating/cooling is off.
If set to ON position (ASTK), the valve motion is 

switched on. The actuator opens and closes the 

valve every 7 days. 
If set to OFF position (---), the function is 

disabled.
SW 7: U/I - Input signal type selector 

If set to OFF position, voltage input is selected. 
If set to ON position, current input is selected

Reset button 

❹③

Press the reset button will cause the actuator to 

go through a self stroking cycle (press it for 2 s).

Manual override 

Do not manually operate the drive 

if power is connected!

Do not dismount the actuator 

from the valve when it is in a stem down 

position!

If dismounted in a stem down position, there is a 

high risk that the actuator gets stuck.

-  Remove cover 

-  Press and hold the button (on the bottom 

side of the actuator) 

 during manual 

override 

-  Replace cover 

-  Install actuator on valve 

 

 Remark: 

A ‘click’ sound after energising the actuator 

indicates that the gear wheel has jumped into 

normal position.
