ELECTRICAL BALL VALVES
1. TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
1.1.Principle of operation
Ball valves control the flow of a fluid or gas by means of a rotating ball
with a hole. By rotating the ball 90° around its axis, the valve will for
example open or close. The valve can have two or three connection ports
(2-way or 3-way). The three-way balls have a T-shaped hole. Therefore,
different switching schemes are possible. Electric ball valves are actuated
with an electric motor. The AW1 actuator features a transmission to
arrange a smooth and slow opening and closing with a high torque. The
AW1 actuator is equipped with two limit switches. Once the actuator
reaches one of the two end positions (90° rotation), the power supply to
the electric motor shuts down and no electrical power is needed to stay
in the end positions.
The AW1 actuator is available with 3-point control or On/Off control with
internal relay (see Chapter 0).

1.3.Circuit Diagram
The table below shows the circuit functions of the ball valves. The 2-way
ball valves are open or closed. The 3-way ball valves can be arranged in
two different ways (by rotating the ball 180°).
2-way
3-way (T-bore)
1.4.Flow chart
The following graph shows the flow rate (l/min) of the ball valves as a
function of the differential pressure across the inlet and outlet of the
valve. The scale of the vertical axis is logarithmic.
1.5. Duty Cycle
The BW-series are suitable for continuous use. High switching
frequencies and high pressures can reduce the lifespan.
1.6. Compliance
The actuators are CE marked and comply with the LVD Directive
(2006/95/EC) and EMC Directive (2004/108/EC), provided that the cables
and connectors are properly connected.
1.7. Description Type Plate

2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the safety instructions before installing, using or maintaining
the device.
►This device will contain gas and/or liquid under pressure. The
actuator only complies protection class IP54 (according to IEC
60529), if the device is properly connected. Improper use may
be hazardous.
►This product is not a safety device and may not be used as
such.
►Never put your hands/body parts or other objects into ports
of the valve. The rotating ball can cause serious injuries or
damages.
►Correct transport, proper storage and installation, and proper
use and maintenance, are essential for reliable and error-free
operation. The product may not function properly as a result
of dirt, wear, damage (for example, by dropping) or improper
use. Therefore, the product should not be used in
applications where a malfunction can cause danger or
damage.
►Check the compatibility of the medium used, temperature
and other operating conditions with the materials and
specifications of the product. It is the responsibility of the
user to select the right product for the application.
►This product is not intended or approved for medical
applications, food and/or application in gas appliances.
►Never exceed the limits for pressure, temperature or voltage
as indicated on the product and/or in the technical
documentation.
►It is not allowed to change the construction of this device.
►Beware of electric shock when working with electrical
equipment.
3. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
3.1. Safety Instructions
►It is recommended to install the electric ball valve in a dry
environment. In moist environments, make sure that no
moisture can penetrate the actuator. Install the ball valve in
a safe way to avoid electric shock, burning or other injuries.
Make sure the electric ball valve is not in contact with or in
the vicinity of flammable materials. Ensure that the product
is protected from frost. Frost may damage the product and/or
block the moving parts, causing the electric ball valve to
malfunction.
►Maintenance may only be performed when the system is not
pressurized, electrically disconnected and cooled down.
►Turn off the power supply before performing any work on the
electric ball valve to prevent the risk of electrical shock and to
prevent activation of the actuator.
►The product is only safe when properly installed and operated
by qualified persons. Please read the safety instructions and
technical documentation carefully before installation, use or
maintenance.
►Ensure a controlled commissioning after installation or
maintenance.
3.2. Installation
Clean fluids and gases
It is recommended to use electrical ball valves in combination with clean
liquids or gases. Dirt can cause excessive wear. Make sure that the pipes
don’t contain dirt before installing the device. Optionally, install a filter
(500 µm) upstream of the electric ball valve.
Mounting the valve
The pipes on both sides of the valve must be securely fastened. During
installation, make sure that force may only be exercised at designated
areas on the valve, such as the hexagon; never on the actuator. Avoid
vibration in the pipes. Use a suitable sealant for threaded connections of
the ball valve. Avoid the entry of thread sealing material in the valve, this
can lead to malfunctioning of the valve.
Position
It is recommended to install the electric ball valve in vertical position with
the actuator facing upwards. This reduces the probability of the collection
of moisture in the actuator. When the electric ball valve is mounted at an
angle, it is recommended to deviate maximally 90° from the vertical
position. Ensure that drops cannot slip along the cable and enter the
actuator.
Installation of the actuator on the coil
►The device can be damaged by the use of unsuitable tools.
►The 3-way valves can be installed in two different ways by
rotating the ball 180°.

►The actuator needs to be attached with the aid of the nut
present.
►Make sure that the ball is in the correct position. If necessary,
adjust the position (2) using a wrench.
►The actuator is into the valve body (two ways) with 2-pin (1).
Tighten the nut securely (3), so there is no clearance between
the actuator and the valve.

3.3. Electrical Wiring Diagram
Verify that the actuator code matches the connection diagram. Improper
installation can permanently damage the actuator or lead to dangerous
situations. The actuators have internal position switches, which results
that only energy consumed during opening or closing.

the position of the valve can be regulated. Never connect the blue and
brown control wires at the same time! This will damage the actuator.
