AVA 20 Series Overview
The AVA Basic is an entry level electric actuator designed where only minimal
features are required for on-o applicaons. The basic version is constructed tradionally
with internal cams striking micro-switches to stop the reversible motor in the required
posions. The lower torque models are available failsafe using capacitors.
● Fully weatherproof to IP67 ● Dome style local visual indicator ● Hand operaon
● End of travel conrmaon switches ● Female octagon drive output
● Mulple ISO5211 mounngs ● An-condensaon heater
The AVA Smart
is a truly smart electric actuator designed to cover a wide range of funconal applica-
ons, is fully electronic using digital magnec posioning and enrely run by rmware.
The smart version is recognisable by the introducon of a bright OLED screen and exter-
nal push buons that are used to set and adjust the AVA Smart actuator. Available in
ON OFF, Modulang, Failsafe, Failsafe Modulang, Timer, Wireless and BUS. Standard
features include:
● OLED Screen ● User friendly local buon controls ● Brushless motors
● An-condensaon heater ● Electronic torque limiter ● Many funconal opons

PRE WIRED ACTUATORS:-
Due to the compact design of our actuators, our Series 10, 20 and 50 have pre
wired, typically 0.8m long cables that contain your power, feedback and
earthing cores. Unless ed with a special opon, such as Alarm Relays, the
actuators are supplied with a 7 pin connector. This can be removed if not
required or to be ulised. This does NOT invalidate the warranty or eect the
actuator. Flying lead can be from 1m to 20m. Speak to our team about your
requirement.

Our larger actuators have 2 x M20 Conduit Glands on the back of the actuator.
The wiring box is removed from the actuator base which will expose the
terminal strip for you to terminate your cables. This will be typically a 9 pin
terminal design to allow for addional cores for Alarm Relays. Refer to manual
for Fuse requirements. Feedback signal contact load capacity 0.1A/250VAC

AVA Basic Series - CAMS
Adjusting valve location
instructions
1. ADJUSTING FULL CLOSE POSITION
Rotate the valve to full close posion with handle.
• Since the valve has gone through “factory default seng”, this step can be omied if it the adjustment is slight.
• Detach cambered indicang dial, loosen xing screw L3 of indicang dial support, turn reinforcing rib as shown in diagram 5,
perpendicular to the ow direcon of valve, then screw up L3 and buckle up cambered indicang dial.
• Loosen xing screw L1 of cam 1, drive cam 1 to rotate clockwise and trigger micro switches K2, K1 to move in turn and make
sound. When K1 moves and makes sound, stop adjustment. Then screw up xing screw L1.
• Noce 1: The default is that rotang in clockwise direcon means closing ,and rotang in anclockwise direcon means
opening.
• Noce 2: B3P does not have K2,K4 micro switch.
Cauon: When screwing up L3, the torque≤0.5 NM, otherwise it will damage locang driving gear.
In the process of adjustment, do not over ghten screws, otherwise it will damage screw threads or other parts.
2. ADJUSTING FULL OPEN POSITION
• Rotate the valve to full open posion with handle.
• Loosen xing screw L2 of cam2, drive cam 2 to rotate anclockwise and trigger micro switches K4, K3 to move in turn and
make sound. When K3 moves and makes sound, stop adjustment. Then screw up xing screw L2.
3. WIRING
• Aer modifying, connect the circuit according to the wiring label on the box cover. Aer conrmaon, you can do power test.
4. ELECTRICAL TEST
• Mainly check the consistence of on and o between the actuator and the valve body. At the same me, please check whether
the valve is full close or not. Special tesng device is recommended
Diagram 1 Diagram 2 Diagram 3 Diagram 4 Diagram 5
Note you should only remove the cover on instrucon
from your AVA reseller or AVA technical support agent
as it may invalidate warranty.
NOTE - Smart actuators do not have internal cams and micro switches, therefore posion adjustment is via rmware. See
actuator Firmware User Guide for detailed screen by screen guide including how to change working angle and feedback.

Our Smart series actuators ulise our smart screen and menu system using a colour OLED screen. Not only does the
screen display the actuator status, set posion from PLC/Controller and actual posion. The screen also can display
any ALERTS such as an over torque situaon. You can use the touch buons to enter the Menu mode, customising
working angle, speed, accuracy to name just a few of the customisable opons. You can also use the Local Control
mode or Manual Mode to use the buons to open and close the actuator locally via the touch buons. Full screen
by screen Firmware guide available on request.
You can use the M buon once into the Menu Mode to move through the dierent screens.
You can use K2 to move up and down through the opons
You can use K3 to move le and right through the opons.
For ALL actuators, you can electronically set the
Open and Close posion via the rmware. This
example shows a Modulang Actuator screen,
the user can set the 4mA posion or the closed
posion.
For our Failsafe actuators, on inially powering,
you will see the screen display the Capacitor
Charge %. You can also set the % of charge need-
ed as a minimum, the failsafe posion to fail
OPEN or CLOSED.
Once all the sengs and adjustments have
changed, you can exit via the screen above and
press the K3 buon (boom buon) this will
show the message ‘Saved’ which means the
changes made are now live and will reect in
Revision: 002 Date: 05/06/20
Note the above are just some of the Firmware opons available to customise the actuator funcon. This will vary on series and funcon.
You can set the B33 posion. This is used for
seng a 3rd Posion. Either on a 3 way valve or
simply as a 3 point control valve. For example 0-
90-180 degrees or 0-45-90 degrees. For Failsafe
actuators you can also use the 3ed posion as
the failsafe posion.

AVA Wiring Options
AVA Wiring Options
As you will see from the previous page, our AVA electric actuators are capable of various
wiring conguraons based on what your applicaon requires. As detailed, our standard
for our Basic actuators is what we call B - B3S which is a SPDT with volt free posion
conrmaon. Our Smart actuators use E - B3J which is SPDT Relay posion conrmaon.
Remember that all of our Smart units don’t use mechanical cams and micro switches. A
digital encoder and relays are used. The following are some of the addional wiring dia-
grams that you might nd of interest, that are available for our Smart actuators including
3 and 4 posion wiring conguraons.

Capacitor Charge When inially using Failsafe actuators, allow short period of me for the actuator to charge capacitor.
Alert on Screen Smart actuators show ALERT when actuator has ‘Excessive Valve Torque’ or Motor Failure
No Control If your Modulang Actuator shows ‘NoCtrl’ check wiring, your actuator cannot see the modulang input
Feedback Error Ensure you are using resistors for Modulang actuators as per wiring diagram.
