Spring Return linear actuators are available in two styles, U-Bolt

Mount style, mounts to Schneider Electric globe valves with AV-

811 linkage kits for mounting to VB-7xxx valves or AV-812 for

mounting to VB-8xxx, or VB-9313-0-5-xx valves. Screw Mount

style, screws directly to the bonnet nut on VB-7xxx valves (no

adapter required).

Applications include chilled or hot water and steam. Field select-

able input signals include reverse and direct acting, Floating or

Proportional 0-10, 2- 10 vdc or 4-20 ma with 500 ohm resistor

(supplied) plus proportional sequencing input signal ranges.

Forta 3 Globe Valve Actuators & Assemblies Function The actuator The brushless DC-motor of the actuator turns a screw via a gear wheel. When the motor receives a control signal from the controller, the screw moves in a linear motion, moving the stem of the valve. Control signal The M400A (VB)/ M800A (VB)/ M1500A (VB) Series can be controlled by a SPDT floating control, Triac source controller or a proportional input signal. Manual operation There is a red manual operation handle on the actuator.

Forta 12 Globe Valve Actuators & Assemblies Electrical Connections The switches on the circuit board should be set before the actuator is installed. There are no other switches or potentiometers that should be set or adjusted. Actuator travel adjustment must be set as follows upon commissioning: Actuator and valve linked, manual override lever raised (AUTO), power on, move switch 9 (OP/ADJ) ON and then OFF. Forta closes the valve and opens it fully.
