ACTIVAL™
Motorized Two-Way Valve
with Flanged-End Connection (JIS 10K / FC200, SCS13A)
(Spring Return Type Actuator)
General
ACTIVAL™Models VY516XK and VY616XH are series of
motorized two-way valves with flanged-end connection.
Rotary valve and actuator are integrated in a single unit.
Valve size ranges from DN15 (1/2”) to DN80 (3”), and valve
body rating corresponds to JIS 10K.
Actuator has a reversible synchronous motor, which
operates at a low voltage of 24 V AC. Since the actuator fully
closes the valve in case of power failure, it is suitable for
failsafe application.
Model VY516XK/VY516XH communicates with a controller
via SAnet (Azbil Corporation’s communication protocol).

•The top and the terminal covers might be corroded by chemicals and organic solvent or their vapor. Do not
expose the ACTIVAL to such substances/vapor.
•When the ACTIVAL is used for steam humidifying, install a valve interlocking with air-conditioning unit on the
inflow side in case the ACTIVAL gets damaged.
•
A
lthough the ACTIVAL can be used in high humidity environments (max. 95 %RH), do not immerse the
actuator in water.
•Although the ACTIVAL can be used outdoors, be sure not to expose the ACTIVAL to direct sunlight.
•When the ACTIVAL is used for steam humidifying, set the high limit alarm of supply air temperature in case that
the valve fails to properly operate. For critical piping system, in addition to the high limit alarm of supply air
temperature, set the high and low limit alarms of humidity for AHU (air handling unit) operation, and install a
valve interlocking with the AHU fan on the inflow side.
•Install the ACTIVAL in a position allowing easy access for maintenance and inspection. Figs. 2 and 3 show the minimum
clearance for maintenance and inspection. When installing the ACTIVAL in a ceiling space, provide an access hole within
the 50 cm radius of the ACTIVAL. And, place a drain pan under the valve.
•Do not mount the ACTIVAL on a pipe where water hammer occurs, or where solid objects including slug may accumulate.
Mounting position
The ACTIVAL can be mounted in any position ranging from upright to sideways (90°tilted). The ACTIVAL should be installed
with its actuator vertically positioned above the valve body. (See Fig. 7.) However, the ACTIVAL must be installed always in
upright position outdoors.

Piping
•Check that the model number of the product is what you ordered. The model number is shown on the label attached to the
yoke.
•Install a bypass pipe and gate valves on the inflow, outflow, and bypass sides. Also, install a strainer with 40 or more
meshes (with 80 or more meshes recommended for steam control) on the inflow side.
•When installing the ACTIVAL to the pipes, do not allow any object, such as chips, to get inside a pipe or valve. Valve cannot
fully close, or the valve seat may get damaged causing fluid leakage, due to an object jammed inside the valve.
•When piping, do not apply too much sealing material, such as solidifying liquid and tape, to the pipe connection sections so
that these materials flow into the valve. Valve cannot fully closes, or the valve seat may get damaged causing fluid leakage,
due to the sealing material jammed inside the valve.
•Before activating the ACTIVAL, fully open the valve (in 100 % position) and flush the pipes (with the ACTIVAL installed) at
the maximum flow rate to remove all the foreign substances. (Factory preset position: 0 %)
•For steam control, drain retained water (condensate) in piping. Install a trap on a pipe run which may retain condensate.
Condensate may cause water hummer or damage the valve and piping.
Heat insulation
Do not apply heat insulation to the actuator or to the yoke, as shows in Fig. 6. If the yoke and the actuator are covered
with insulation material, the pointer cannot be checked and may be distorted.
Factory preset position
The actuator shaft is positioned at 0 % (in fully closed position) for shipment. The shaft is thus completely turned
counterclockwise, and the pointer points at ‘0’. (See Fig. 8.)

Wiring
WARNING
•DANGER: To prevent the risk of severe or fatal electrical shock, always disconnect power source and product
power supply before performing any wiring.
CAUTION
•Installation and wiring must be performed by qualified personnel in accordance with all applicable safety
standards.
IMPORTANT:
•The ACTIVAL is designed for 24 V AC power supply voltage.
Do not apply any other power voltage (e.g., 100 V AC, 200 V AC) to the ACTIVAL.
•To prevent damage, cover the terminals except when connecting/disconnecting wires.
•Do not leave any refuse including metal chips after cutting a knockout hole and after connecting the wires
inside the actuator.
Wiring precautions
1) To lead the wires into the terminals, cut out a knockout hole for a wiring port. Two knockout holes (φ22 mm) are provided on
the bilateral sides of the actuator terminals. Select a knockout hole according to the conduit mounting direction, and cut it
out by lightly knocking the hole using a screwdriver.
Figure 9. Knockout hole for wiring port
2) Unscrew the 3 setscrews (M4 ×10) of the terminal cover and remove the terminal cover, as shown in Fig. 10.

3) Correctly connect the wires to the terminals with M3.5 screw terminal lugs, referring to Fig. 11.
Figure 11. Basic connection example
If 100 V AC or more is output from the sub-DO terminals (6 and 7), be sure to ground with 100 Ωor lower ground resistance.
To use the forced shutoff DI, remove the shorting bar connected to the terminals 4 and 5.
4) Separate sub-DO line from SAnet and sub-DI lines. Do not lead the sub-DO line through the wiring port (knockout hole) for
SAnet and DI lines to protect sub-DO line from noise.
Figure 12. Separation of sub-DO line from other lines
If sub-I/O is used, SAnet line cannot be daisy-chained since the number of the wiring ports is limited. In such a case, use
SAnet cable gland with three ports to daisy-chain the SAnet line, or branch the SAnet line ahead of connecting to the
terminals.
Note:
For wiring of SAnet line, refer to the Installation Manual of Intelligent Component Series for SAnet Communication (AB-6713)
To keep IP54 protection (dust-proof and splash-proof),
Use a water-proof connector for the ACTIVAL in a high-humidity environment or outdoor location. Through wiring port with the
water-proof connector (Seal connector) attached to, only 1 cable can be lead in. Through wiring port with the SAnet cable gland
(with three ports) and the seal connectors attached to, 3 cables can be lead in.
•Be sure to completely close the terminal cover and the top cover.
•Waterproof the wiring port.
- For cable connection, use a water-proof connector.
(Seal connector Part Nos. 83104346-003, 83104346-004, 83104346-005 are recommended.)
- To daisy-chain the SAnet line, use the SAnet cable gland with three ports and the seal connector Azbil Corporation
supplies.
SAnet cable gland with three ports: Part No. DY7000A1000
Seal connector: Part Nos. 83104346-012, 83104346-013, 83104346-014

Interlock Operation
This product (Model VY516XK/VY516XH) has the forced shutoff DI (contact input) for interlock operation. Connect the input
signal line for start/stop of air-conditioning unit in a critical steam-humidifying system.
Operation with the forced shutoff DI is as follows:
When the contact opens, the actuator forcibly closes the valve in 0 % position.
When the contact closes, the actuator continues normal operation.
Jumper is connected to the terminals 4 and 5. Remove the jumper to connect the forced fully-close signal input line. Note that
the forced fully-close input is for interlock operation and cannot be used for any other purpose.
Interlock operation due to disconnection of SAnet communication
When SAnet communication is disconnected for a certain time period, this product recognizes abnormal condition and forcibly
starts shutoff operation.
Notes:
∗Forced shutoff DI is applicable only for Model VY516XK/VY516XH ACTIVAL (spring-return type). This is not applicable for ACTIVAL Model
VY516XJ
∗To forcibly shut off the valve, interlock the operation with the forced shutoff DI. Do not interlock with disconnection of SAnet communication.
∗In the manual operation mode, the product does not forcibly start shutoff operation even when SAnet communication is disconnected for a
certain time period. But when the forced shutoff contact opens in the manual operation mode, the products forcibly starts the shutoff
operation.
