Erie By Schneider Electric Spring Return Actuator for Valves

The Erie by Schneider Electric spring return actuator (also called a PopTop valve actuator or zone valve actuator) provides reliable electric control of hot and chilled water valves in HVAC systems. These actuators suit terminal unit applications such as fan coils, baseboard heaters and air handlers.

Key Features:

• Fail-safe spring return: When power is applied, the actuator drives the valve to its end position and tensions the return spring. When power is removed, the spring returns the valve to its normal rest position.
• Long-life motor: A hysteresis synchronous motor is built for dependable, repeated cycling.
• Tool-free service: The actuator mounts directly onto the valve body with no linkages or calibration. It can be replaced without tools and without removing the valve from the piping.
• Flexible installation: The actuator can be installed after the valve body is in place on the fan coil, baseboard or air handler.
• Direct replacement: Designed to replace existing two-position PopTop applications.
• Optional auxiliary end switch: Select models include a built-in SPDT end switch for signaling valve position to other equipment, such as zone pumps or burner controls.
• Manual override lever: Available on normally closed models to help with setup and service.
• Durable construction: Stainless steel base plate and aluminum cover.
• Maintenance-free operation: Replace the actuator module if it becomes defective.

The range is offered in a variety of voltages, normally open and normally closed configurations, and lead options. These actuators are designed for cycling applications and are not intended to be powered constantly. Erie is a Schneider Electric brand with a long record in HVAC valve and actuator control.
