VA9208-Bxx-x Series On/Off Electric Spring Return Valve Actuators Installation Instructions10
The switch point of Auxiliary Switch No. 1 is fixed. The
switch point of Auxiliary Switch No. 2 is independently
and continuously adjustable from 74 to 5% position.
For the most accurate switch positioning, see Figure 22
and use the method in the following example. To
change the switch point of Auxiliary Switch No. 2,
proceed as follows:
1. Position the actuator in the full spring return
position.
Note: The switch is factory set to trip when the
actuator reaches the 10% position.
2. Rotate the switch adjuster until it points to the
desired switch point.
3. Connect Auxiliary Switch No. 2 to a power source
or an ohmmeter and apply power to the actuator.
The actuator moves to the fully open position and
holds while power is applied.
4. Observe the switch point. If required, repeat Step 1
through Step 3.
Repair Information
A number of replacement parts are available; see
Table 3 for more details. If an VA9208 Series
Electric Spring Return Actuator fails to operate within
its specifications, replace the unit. For a replacement
electric actuator, contact the nearest Johnson Controls
representative.
