VA9208-Bxx-x Series On/Off Electric Spring Return Valve Actuators Installation Instructions  9
See Figure 19 and Figure 20 to wire the applicable 
VA9208-Bxx-3 Series model. 
Using Conduit
All VA9208 Series Actuators accept 3/8 in. (10 mm) 
trade size flexible metal conduit.
1. Feed the actuator cables through the field supplied 
conduit.
2. Push the conduit into the holes in the actuator and 
secure it with the supplied 10-32 x 9/16 in. screws, 
as illustrated in Figure 21. The product label marks 
the position of holes for the screws. Drive the 
screws through the product label in the marked 
positions. Drive the screwhead flush with the plate 
to secure the conduit.
Setup and Adjustments
Auxiliary Switch (VA9208-xxC-3 Models)
The VA9208-xxC-3 models include two integral 
auxiliary switches with a switch adjuster accessible on 
either face of the actuator (Figure 20). The factory 
setting for Auxiliary Switch No. 1 is 83% closing, and 
the nominal setting for Auxiliary Switch No. 2 is 10% 
opening (relative to the 0 to 100% rotation range as 
printed on the product label). See the Technical 
Specifications table for the auxiliary switch ratings.

IMPORTANT: Careful workmanship is required to 
secure flexible metal conduit. Cut the conduit end 
perpendicular to its axis. Insert the cut end into the 
bottom of the holes in the actuator and hold the 
conduit in place while securing it with the screws 
provided. Check a completed installation by pulling 
on the conduit to ensure its retention.
!
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock and 
Property Damage.
Insulate and secure each unused wire 
lead before applying power to the 
actuator. Failure to insulate and secure 
each unused wire lead may result in 
property damage, electric shock, and 
severe personal injury or death.
