IMPORTANT: Use this VA9310 Series Electric
Non-Spring Return Valve 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.
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment
and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
This Class (B) digital apparatus meets all the
requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations.

Mounting
You can mount the VA9310 actuator directly to the
valve for preferred performance or with the M9000-561
thermal barrier when high-temperature fluid is used or
additional spacing for insulation is needed.
Installing the Conduit Connector
1. Slide the connector onto the actuator.
2. Turn the connector and lock it into position.

Mounting the Actuator Inline to the Valve
1. Make sure the valve stem is inline to the valve
openings.
2. Verify that the actuator handle is inline to the
actuator.
3. Place the actuator inline into the valve.
4. Tighten the actuator handle to the valve. The
recommended torque is 8 to 12 lb·in
(0.9 to 1.4 N·m).
Mounting the Actuator Perpendicular to the
Valve
Note: If the actuator and valve arrive separately,
proceed to Step 3.
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
counterclockwise.
5. Reinsert the handle perpendicular into the actuator
and tighten the handle screw. The recommended
torque is 8 to 12 lb·in (0.9 to 1.4 N·m).

Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect the power supply before making electrical
connections. Contact with components carrying
hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: When using the VA9310-HGA-2
actuator in floating mode, verify that the DIP switch
is positioned on the 2 to 10 VDC option. This setting
ensures compatibility with the controller’s triac
output exhibiting voltage leakage. See Figure 14 for
DIP switch placement.

Auto Calibration Mode
The actuator enters auto calibration mode and
positions the valve shaft to the maximum and minimum
end stops to identify the range of travel.
Accessing the DIP Switches and LEDs
Locate the oval cover on the front of the unit and pull
the cover outward.
To complete the auto calibration process, press
Enter/Autocal until all three LEDs are on. See
Figure 14 for viewing the DIP switches and LEDs.
Operation
The valid Offset values are 0 to 10 VDC, and the valid
Span values are 2 to 10 VDC. The maximum feedback
voltage of the actuator is 10 VDC.

Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all
wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.

Setting the SPAN and OFFSET Proportional
Command Signal to Other Values
1. Set DIP switch one and two before proceeding.
See Figure 14 for DIP switch placement.
2. Connect a digital multimeter between the orange
(feedback) and black (common) wires. See Wiring
for more wiring information.
3. Press Enter/Autocal.
To adjust the span and offset, press but do not hold
Enter/Autocal. Holding Enter/Autocal for longer
than 3 seconds triggers an autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns on, and the multimeter
displays the current offset value.
4. 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.
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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
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.
7. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Span Adj. LED turns off indicating that the
desired Span Adj. setting is saved, 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.
3. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns off, the Span Adj. LED
turns on, and the multimeter displays the present
SPAN value.
4. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Span Adj. LED turns off.

the housing.
2. Rotate the conduit connector counterclockwise and
remove it from the actuator.
Repair Information
If the VA9310 Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve
Actuator fails to operate within its specifications,
replace the unit. For a replacement valve actuator,
contact the nearest Johnson Controls® representative.
