VALVCON metso V-SERIES ACTUATOR 115VAC AND 230VAC

1 V200-1 5/2014metso VALVCON V-SERIES ACTUATOR115 VAC AND 230 VACGENERALM etso is a leading designer and provider of com-pact, reliable , electronically controlled electric actu-ators for valves and dampers. We offer a completeline of VALVCON electric actuators for accurate posi-tioning of dampers and valves in the aerospace,automotive, consumer services, discrete manufac-turing, energy, environmental, oil/pipeline, petro-chemical, power/utilities, process, recreation, trans-portation, and water/wastewater has developed and introduced the industry smost innovative electric ACTUATOR features, includingsimple set and go calibration, intelligent proces-sor-based digital electronics, plug-in accessoryboards, back-up power, as well as electric actuatorsdesigned for remote control.

2 Solar-powered appli-cations and two-wire network quarter-turn electric ACTUATOR complies withPart 15, Class A of the FCC regulations for emissionsand conducted radiation for industrial NEMA standards for use in weathertight orweathertight and hazardous locations. The actua-tor is a single, complete unit composed of a com-pact cast aluminum housing, motor, gearing, limitswitches controlled by metal cams for end of travelcontrol, a mechanical position indicator, and awrench-operated manual override shaft. Actuatormounting flanges comply with ISO 5211 standardsincorporating a female drive for direct output cou-pling. The ACTUATOR is capable of operating in ambi-ent environments of -40 F to 150 F; optional inter-nal heater must be included at temperatures below32 AND BENEFITSM otorThe motor is capable of running continuously at fulltorque for up to 15 minutes at ambient tempera-tures at or below 104 degrees F.

3 Subsequently, themotor is capable of 75% duty cycle. Motors are splitphase, capacitor driven with an auto reset thermalsensor, and provide high starting torque and aretotally enclosed within the ACTUATOR s housing rotating power train components are coated with amulti-purpose grease. Lubricants are suitable for ambi-ent conditions of -40 F to 150 F. For operation in tem-peratures between 32 F and -40 F an optional heaterand thermostat assembly must be powertrain is comprised of hardened steel,machine cut spur gears. Non-metallic, aluminum, castor stamped gearing is not OperationA wrench-operated override shaft is provided for man-ual operation. As an option, a metallic hand wheel mayalso be provided.

4 The override device is engagedthrough a declutching mechanism, which separatesthe final output drive from the motor SwitchesActuators have two standard end of travel switches,single pole double throw, rated at 11 amps at 250 VAC. The limit switches are activated by metal camsmounted on the ACTUATOR drive shaft. At the end oftravel, the power is routed through the limit switchesto a terminal strip location for pilot or position indica-tion applications. The limit indicator outputs are fuseprotected with auto-resetting polyfuses, with a work-ing limit of amps, to protect the limit switchesand internal circuitry from possible overloads origi-nating outside of the ACTUATOR .

5 To simplify mainte-nance, these polyfuses are permanent and do notneed to be replaced. They reset automatically, shortlyafter the overload condition is corrected in approx-imately 3 minutes. Two additional limit switches maybe added to the ACTUATOR , adjustable to operate at anyposition, as required by the process BULLETIN 5/142 METSOV200-1 Open/Close OperationOpen/Close actuators are controlled via two, powered,maintained contacts, one for driving in the clockwisedirection, and one for driving in the counter-clockwisedirection. Power may be removed mid-stroke to positionthe valve. The AC input power is fuse protected on both ACHot and AC Common. The fuses will never blow in normaloperation they are conservatively rated and soldered inplace for high Control (Modulating Operation)Modulating control ACTUATOR accepts a variable, propor-tional 4-20mA or 0-10 VDC valve position signal andresponds by positioning the valve linearly with an accura-cy of 1%.

6 Normally, the ACTUATOR drives clockwise inresponse to a decreasing control signal; however, the actu-ator is capable of reverse acting operation (driving count-er-clockwise in response to a decreasing control signal)with no necessitated internal wiring changes. The actuatoralso supplies a 4-20mA or 0-10 VDC position feedback sig-nal, and provides the ability to adjust the cycle time of theactuator. A slide switch enables the user to set the actua-tor response to a loss of control signal. Locked rotor, stallprotection initiates whenever the ACTUATOR is unable toachieve the position commanded by the control signal,and terminates power to the motor in order to preventdamage due to prolonged/repeated stall V-SERIES from MetsoWith the innovative metso VALVCON V-SERIES , metso pio-neered the concept of plug-in, modular electronics invalve automation.

7 This concept redefined and simplifiedthe entire valve actuation process upgrades and modifi-cations can now be done in the field, in a matter of min-utes, with no hard wiring, soldering or factory returns. For years, the V-SERIES has set the standard for high quali-ty, rugged and reliable electric actuators. metso uses itsproven technology to vastly simplify ACTUATOR set-up andcalibration and to enhance ACTUATOR performance. V-Serieselectric actuators are designed to offer highly efficientoperation in a compact package. Ideally suited for mostquarter-turn valves and dampers, they are designed for awide range of service, from on-off duty, to modulating orproportional control, to two-wire , reliable ActuationThe metso reputation for success is also built on the abili-ty to meet the needs of its customers with high quality, reliable , leading edge ACTUATOR technology, products andservices.

8 We strive to anticipate and exceed your applica-tion needs. Engineered with a modular approach, Valvconactuation systems allow you to modify or upgrade actua-tors in the field giving you the flexibility to actuate newvalves or to retrofit existing valves with amazing Duty Cycle for Continuous CyclingMetso conservatively rates its AC motors at 75% duty can operate continuously at full rated torque for upto 15 minutes without pausing. After running continuouslyfor 15 minutes, motors need to rest for only 1/3 of the cycletime between each cycle. That is, if the cycle time is 30 sec-onds, they must rest for 10 seconds between each cycle. Inconstantly modulating applications, all metso VALVCON V-SERIES actuators can handle up to 30 starts per TorqueDesigned for efficiency and reliability, all metso Valvconactuators deliver the power you need when and where it isneeded.

9 With efficient gear trains and motors these actua-tors are rated at breakaway torque. Immediately uponpower up, the ACTUATOR supplies the rated torque when itis needed to break the valve away from its seat. Other man-ufacturer s actuators may be rated at running torque, butactually deliver significantly less breakaway Set-upThe metso VALVCON V-SERIES Control Board introduces a rev-olutionary advance in the set-up and calibration of electricactuators SIMPLICITY!!!With the Mode Selector and the touch of simple enter, setand go push buttons, the V-SERIES Control Board simplifiesactuator set-up. On-board push buttons and slide switchesmake manual positioning easy, and simplify the selection ofinput signal type, feedback signal type, and ACTUATOR failposition in the event of a loss of control signal.
