VA9208-Bxx-x Series On/Off Electric Spring Return Valve Actuators Installation Instructions8
Note: Depending on your application, you may 
position the assembly in any of the four 90° increments 
on the valve.
Manual Override
Use only the supplied manual override crank to 
reposition the actuator hub when using the manual 
override feature.
To reposition the actuator hub, proceed as follows:
1. De-energize the actuator.
2. Insert the hex end of the manual override crank 
into the manual override adjustment point on the 
face of the actuator.
3. Rotate the manual override crank in the direction 
indicated by the arrow on the label. 
4. The actuator requires 8-1/2 manual override crank 
rotations from the full spring return position to fully 
reposition the actuator hub. At the end of travel, the 
rotation resistance increases. Do not force the 
manual crank past this point.
5. While holding the manual crank in the wound 
position, rotate and hold the red lock shaft 
approximately 10° then release the manual crank 
to lock the actuator hub in place.
Note: Insert and slightly rotate the manual crank 
in the direction indicated by the arrow on the label 
to unlock the actuator hub. Alternately, the actuator 
hub automatically unlocks when power is applied 
to the actuator, and returns the actuator to normal 
drive and spring return operation.
Wiring   
IMPORTANT: Applying excessive torque to the 
manual override or operating the manual override 
with a power tool may damage the internal 
components of the actuator and cause premature 
failure.
!
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect or isolate all power supplies 
before making electrical connections. 
More than one disconnect or isolation 
may be required to completely 
de-energize equipment. Contact with 
components carrying hazardous voltage 
can cause electric shock and may result 
in severe personal injury or death.
!
CAUTION: Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before 
checking all wiring connections. Short 
circuited or improperly connected wires 
may result in permanent damage to the 
equipment.
!
CAUTION: Risk of 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.
IMPORTANT: Make all wiring connections in 
accordance with the National Electrical Code and 
local regulations. Use proper Electrostatic Discharge 
(ESD) precautions during installation and servicing 
to avoid damaging the electronic circuits of the 
actuator.
