lntroduction The Y20EBD Valve Linkage converts the rotary motion of an M100 Application Series Motor Actuator to a linear movement in order to operate several Details types of valves. A rack and pinion drive mechanism provides the linear movement. The rack assembly contains a spring that, when compressed by over travel, will maintain valve close off to rated values.

The following terminology is used in these instructions: Glossary CW--Clockwise refers to the direction of rotation of the actuator shaft as seen from the load end. Zero Position--The fully counterclockwise position of the actuator shaft--the de-energized position of a spring return actuator. Stem Up--The initial position of the stem is up before operating the valve.

Upright mounting of the motor actuator is recommended. Installation Overview When valve mounting, do not mount below the horizontal plane of the valve piping to prevent damage to the motor actuator if the valve leaks or develops condensation. Do not install the motor actuator in atmospheres with explosive vapors or escaping gases, or where vapors having deteriorating properties might attack the actuator’s metal parts.

Configuration and Mounting Valve Lift The information obtained in the following steps will be used for the travel adjustments later. The reason that these measurements are here is that it is easier to take the measurements prior to installing the linkage and actuator than after.

5. Position the gear housing and rack subassembly over the valve stem and align the gear housing with the M100 drive shaft. Attach the gear housing to the motor actuator with the washers and gear housing screws. Do not tighten the screws at this time. Loosen the locking screw and lower the rack subassembly to the valve stem.

Three Way Valves Three way valves, mixing or diverting, can be assembled so that the upper seat is initially closed (stem up) or so that the lower seat is initially closed (stem down). Stem up or stem down operation is determined by the yoke configuration and position of the rack and gear housing.

Manual Operation CAUTION: Do not perform this operation if the valve is under pressure. Shut off pump power, including standby power, before attempting manual operation. The valve can be manually operated without electrical power when necessary for maintenance or emergency operation. To operate the valve manually: 1.

Checkout Procedure After Installation and adjustment, run the system through several complete open/close cycles to be sure that all components are functioning correctly. Check to be sure that the actuator responds to the controller and operates the valve properly. Check for proper voltage. Check for operation of the linkage without binding.
