Spring return actuator for valves

Advertisement

M700 is a spring return electro-mechanical actuator for the
control of two-way and three-way plug valves in:
domestic hot water systems
heating systems
air handling systems
M700 is either controlled by an increase/decrease signal or
by a modulating 2–10 V control signal. Modulating control
makes for a faster positioning of the actuator.
The electronic circuitry of the actuator ensures that the
running time is the same, regardless of the stroke of the
valve in question.
It is easy to mount and connect the actuator. It can be
mounted directly onto TAC's control valves, without any
mounting kit.
For Satchwell valves a linkage is included (see PART
NUMBERS on page 2).
The working range of the actuator is adjusted automatically
depending on the stroke of the valve. The electronic
circuitry of the actuator then takes care of the adjustment
of the valve end positions.
The actuator is supplied by 24 V AC. It can provide 16 V DC
voltage supply for older TAC controllers.

Do not use the actuator for the DN15 valves V298, V282, V294, V384, V386 and V394. To mount the actuator on a valve, slide the actuator onto the valve neck, thus making the square nut on the valve spindle fit into the groove on the cross bar.
