VA9104-xGA-2S, VA9104-xGA-3S Series
Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators
Code No. LIT-1900354
Issued July 6, 2011
Features
• 35 dBA nominal audible noise rating —
meets the audible noise requirements for
open ceiling environments: whisper quiet
operation will not disturb building
occupants
• synchronous drive — provides a constant
rotation time that is independent of the load
• 100,000 cycle rating — provides years of
trouble-free service
• direct mounting with single screw —
reduces installation time and cost
• manual override — allows for manual
positioning of the valve, independent of a
power supply
• plenum cable or screw terminal electrical
connections — make wiring quick and easy
while allowing for ceiling plenum
applications
• 3/8 in. flexible metal conduit connector on
VA9104-xGA-2S models — simplifies
installation and field wiring
• available weather shield for field mounting
— follows NEMA 4X IP66 specifications
• optional M9000-561 thermal barrier —
extends the fluid temperature range to
284°F (140°C) or 15 psig saturated steam
• 5-year warranty — protects the consumer
investment
Description
The VA9104 Series Actuators are
direct-mount, non-spring return electric valve
actuators that operate on AC 24 V power. Use
these synchronous motor-driven actuators to
provide accurate positioning on
Johnson Controls® VG1000 Series DN15,
DN20, and DN25 (1/2, 3/4, and 1 in.) ball
valves in Heating, Ventilating, and Air
Conditioning (HVAC) applications.
The VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring
Return Actuators provide a running torque of
35 lb⋅in (4 N⋅m). The nominal travel time is
60 seconds at 60 Hz (72 seconds at 50 Hz) for
90° of rotation.
Refer to the VA9104-xGA-2S and
VA9104-xGA-3S Series Electric Non-Spring
Return Valve Actuators Product Bulletin
(LIT-12011050) for important product
application information.
