VA9300
Non Spring Return Actuators for Ball Valves
Product Bulletin
■Automatic Signal Input Detection model On/Off, Floating and Proportional
Increase availability at distributors. Simplify retrofit.
■High speed actuator model
Allow applications in loop that require a quick response time.
■Optional Auxiliary Switch & potentiometer feedback
Provides line voltage capable single Pole Double-Throw (SPDT) switch and 140Ω, 1KΩ, 2KΩ or 10KΩ feedback
potentiometric.
■Direct-Coupled Design
Requires no separate linkage because the VA9300 Series Actuators are ready for direct attachment to Johnson
Controls VG1000 Series valves by driving one captive screw.
■Rugged IP54 Rated Enclosure
Provides a high degree of protection from dust, splashing water and rough handling.
■Electronic Stall Detection
Protects from overload at all angles of rotation. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its rotation range without the
need for mechanical end switches.
■Microprocessor-controlled Brushless DC Motor
Provides constant runtime independent of torque and increases life cycle by reducing wear.
The VA9300 Series Electric Non Spring Return
Actuators are used to provide accurate positioning
on Johnson Controls®VG1000 Series DN15
up to DN150 ball valves in Heating, Ventilating
and Air Conditioning (HVAC) applications from 8
to 35 Nm rated torque.

Installation
Install the ball valve with the actuator at or above the center line of the horizontal piping.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Do not install or use this actuator in or near
environments where corrosive substances or vapors
could be present.
Exposure of the actuator to corrosive environments may
damage the device's internal components, and will void
the warranty.
Mounting the actuator Inline to the Valve
1. Make sure the valve stem is inline to the valve Openings.

1. Loosen but do not remove the screw that holds the
actuator to the valve.
2. Remove the actuator from the valve.
3. Press and hold the gear release.
The actuator should be against the internal CCW stop.
4. Lift the handle out of the actuator and rotate 90°

M9000-561 Thermal Barrier
The Thermal barrier optional kit extends the application of the VA9310 actuators in combination with VG1000 ball valves.
Linking together valve and actuator using the M9000-561 you can include applications with low pressure steam up to
123°C at 103kPa (250°F at 15 psig) and hot water up to 140°C (284°F).

Automatic Signal Input Detection model
VA9310-HGA-1, VA9320-HGA-1 and VA9335-HGA-1 Actuator operate with 24 VAC/DC to provide 10, 20 and 35 Nm rated
torque. The actuators can be used with on/off, floating, or proportional controllers in HVAC systems that are controlled by
an electronic controller or positioner.
When the Actuators work in proportional mode, the actuator responds to 0 to 10 VDC or 2 to 10 VDC control signals. With
the addition of a 500 ohm resistor, the actuator responds to a 0 to 20 mA or 4 to 20 mA signal. A 0 to 10 VDC or 2 to 10
VDC feedback signal indicates position.

Setting the SPAN and OFFSET Proportional Command Signal to Other Values
The actuator has the possibility to adjust the input signal changing the working range and the starting point of the signal.
The valid Offset values are 0 to 10 VDC and the valid Span values are 2 to 10 VDC. Adjusting span and offset the
feedback voltage of the actuator is automatically set as 2-10 VDC.

1. Connect a digital multimeter between the orange (feedback) and black (common) wires. See Wiring for more wiring
information.
2. Press Enter/Autocal.
Note: To adjust the span and oset, press but not hold Enter/Autocal.
Holding Enter/Autocal for longer than three seconds triggers an autocal.
The Oset Adj. LED turns on, and the multimeter displays the current oset value.
3. Press INC.
The Offset Adj. LED flashes. The voltage reading on the multimeter increases 0.5 VDC each time you press the button.
Press INC. until you reach the desired voltage.
Once you press INC., if no further action is required, the Offset Adj. LED stops flashing after 10 seconds. The actuator
exits the program mode and the original offset value remains unchanged.
4. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns off indicating that the desired Offset Adj. value was recorded. The Span Adj. turns on, and the
multimeter displays the present SPAN value.
5. Press INC.
The Span Adj. LED flashes. The voltage reading on the multimeter increases by 0.5 VDC each time you press the
button. Press INC. until you reach the desired voltage.
Once you press INC., if no further action is required, the Offset and Adj. LED stops flashing after 10 seconds. The
actuator exits the program mode and the original offset value remains unchanged.
6. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Span Adj. LED turns off indicating that the desired Span Adj. setting is recored, and the actuator exits the program
mode.
Reading the SPAN and OFFSET Proportional Command Signal Voltage Settings
1. Connect a digital multimeter between the orange (feedback) and black (common) wires. See Wiring for more wiring
information.
2. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns on, and the multimeter displays the current offset value.
IMPORTANT: Do not press INC. Otherwise your observed offset voltage setting will change.
3. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns off, the Span Adj. LED turns on, and the multimeter displays the present SPAN value.
IMPORTANT: Do not press INC. Otherwise your observed SPAN voltage setting will change.
4. Press Enter/Autocal.

Auxiliary Switch & Potentiometer Feedback Kit
Mounting the kit, a connection is created between the shaft
hub of the actuator and the kit.
The position of the actuator is transferred to the gear’s kit.
1. Before mounting the kit, rotate the actuator and the kit itself counter clock wise till the end position in order to align the
holes on the coupler with the pins on the kit and snap the kit onto the VA9310 actuators.
