VA9104-xGA-3S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators Installation Instructions8
Setup and Adjustments
Commissioning
After wiring is complete, apply power and provide input 
signals to the actuator to drive it at least one complete 
cycle open and closed.
Troubleshooting
If the VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve 
Actuator is not responding or working properly:
• Verify that the actuator assembly is properly 
secured to the valve.
• Check that all electrical connections are complete 
and that power is applied.
• Verify that the valve fully opens and closes, using 
the gear release button on the actuator and the 
manual override handle.
Repairs and Replacement
If the VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return 
Actuator fails to operate within its specifications, 
replace the unit. For a replacement electric actuator, 
contact the nearest Johnson Controls representative.
