Applications
The VA9208-GGx-x Series Proportional Electric Spring
Return Actuators are direct-mount valve actuators that
operate onAC/DC 24 V power. These bidirectional
actuators are used to provide accurate positioning on
Johnson Controls® VG1000 Series 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and
2 in. (DN32, DN40, and DN50), ball valves in Heating,
Ventilating, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications.
Integral line voltage auxiliary switches, available only
on the VA9208-xxC-3 models, indicate end-stop
position, or perform switching functions within the
selected rotation range.
VA9208-GGA-2 actuators include plenum-rated cables
and are specially configured for installation in spaces
used for environmental air-handling purposes other
than ducts and plenums as specified in National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 70: National Electrical
Code section 300.22(C), Other Space Used for
Environmental Air. The space over a hung ceiling used
for environmental air handling purposes is an example
of the type of space for which these actuators are
configured.
Installation
Install the ball valve with the actuator at or above the
center line of the horizontal piping (see Figure 1).
IMPORTANT: Use this VA9208-GGx-x Series
Proportional Electric Spring Return Actuator only to
control equipment under normal operating
conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the
electric actuator could lead to personal injury or
property damage to the controlled equipment or
other property, additional precautions must be
designed into the control system. Incorporate and
maintain other devices, such as supervisory or
alarm systems or safety or limit controls, intended to
warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of
the electric actuator.
IMPORTANT : Utiliser ce VA9208-GGx-x Series
Proportional Electric Spring Return Actuator
uniquement pour commander des équipements
dans des conditions normales de fonctionnement.
Lorsqu'une défaillance ou un dysfonctionnement du
electric actuator risque de provoquer des blessures
ou d'endommager l'équipement contrôlé ou un autre
équipement, la conception du système de contrôle
doit intégrer des dispositifs de protection
supplémentaires. Veiller dans ce cas à intégrer de
façon permanente d'autres dispositifs, tels que des
systèmes de supervision ou d'alarme, ou des
dispositifs de sécurité ou de limitation, ayant une
fonction d'avertissement ou de protection en cas de
défaillance ou de dysfonctionnement du electric
actuator.
IMPORTANT: In steam applications, install the
valve with the stem horizontal to the piping. Failure
to follow this precaution may shorten the life of the
actuator.

Figure 21 shows the optional Auxiliary Switch Wiring.
Using Conduit
All VA9208 SeriesActuators accept 3/8 in. trade size
flexible metal conduit.
1. Feed the actuator cables through the field-supplied
conduit.
2. Push the conduit into the holes in the actuator and
secure it with the supplied 10-32 x 9/16 in. screws,
as illustrated in Figure 22. The product label marks
the position of holes for the screws. Drive the
screws through the product label in the marked
positions. Drive the screwhead flush with the plate
to secure the conduit.
Setup and Adjustments
Mode Selection Switch
Actuators have an external mode selection switch to
calibrate, select input signal range, and reverse control
logic. The switch is accessible from bothAand B sides
of the actuator as illustrated in Figure 23. Actuators are
delivered in Direct Acting (DA), DC 0 to 10 V input
signal mode. To change to ReverseActing (RA) mode,
move the mode selection switch from DAto RA. The
input signal range is selectable between DC 0 to 10 V
or DC 2 to 10 V. If the CAL function is not used, both
input signal ranges are proportioned across the full
rotation range of 0 to 100% rotation.
For example, if a DC 0 to 10 V input signal is selected
and the rotation range is limited to 75°, the rotation
range limit will be reached at DC 8.3 V.
Control Response
The installation side of the actuator and the position of
the mode selection switch combine to determine
control response from the actuator. See Figure 24.
IMPORTANT: Careful workmanship is required to
secure flexible metal conduit. Cut the conduit end
perpendicular to its axis. Insert the cut end into the
bottom of the holes in the actuator and hold the
conduit in place while securing it with the screws
provided. Check a completed installation by pulling
on the conduit to ensure its retention.

Calibration (CAL) Function
The CAL function enables the actuator to redefine the
selected input signal range proportionally across a
reduced rotation range. The actuator maintains
calibration when power is lost or removed.
Follow these steps to calibrate the input signal range:
1. With power applied to the actuator, move the mode
selection switch to the CAL position and leave it in
this position for approximately 5 seconds. The
actuator begins rotating until the end-stops are
found.
2. Move the mode selection switch to the desired
input signal range. Selection can be made while
the calibration process is in progress, or after it is
complete. The selected input signal is
proportionally reconfigured to the reduced rotation
range.
Note: During normal operation, if the actuator
stroke increases due to seal or seat wear, input
signals are automatically reconfigured to the
increased rotation range in approximately 0.5°
increments.
3. If the actuator mounting position is changed or if
the linkage is adjusted, repeat Step 1 and Step 2 to
repeat the CAL function.
Note: The mode selection switch must remain out
of the CAL position for at least 2 seconds before
re-initiating the CAL function.
Note: If the mode selection switch is left in the
CAL position, the actuator defaults to 0-10 V input
signal range, DA.
Auxiliary Switch (VA9208-xxC-3 Models)
The VA9208-xxC-3 models include two integral
auxiliary switches with a switch adjuster accessible on
either face of the actuator (Figure 5). The factory
setting for Auxiliary Switch No. 1 is 83% closing, and
the nominal setting for Auxiliary Switch No. 2 is 10%
opening (relative to the 0 to 100% rotation range as
printed on the product label). See the Technical
Specifications table for the auxiliary switch ratings.
The switch point of Auxiliary Switch No. 1 is fixed. The
switch point of Auxiliary Switch No. 2 is independently
and continuously adjustable from 74 to 5% position.
For the most accurate switch positioning, see Figure 25
and use the method in the following example. To
change the switch point ofAuxiliary Switch No. 2,
proceed as follows:
1. Position the actuator in the full spring return
position.
Note: The switch is factory set to trip when the
actuator reaches the 10% position.
!
WARNING: Risk of Electric Shock and
Property Damage.
Insulate and secure each unused wire
lead before applying power to the
actuator. Failure to insulate and secure
each unused wire lead may result in
property damage, electric shock, and
severe personal injury or death.
