MZ Series SSB
Electronic Valve Actuator
24 Vac Floating Control
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Description The Powermite 599 MZ Series SSB electronic valve actuator requires a 24 Vac supply
floating control signal to provide floating control. This actuator is designed to work with
Powermite 599 MZ Series zone control valves with a 7/32-inch (5.5 mm) stroke and a
threaded valve bonnet that fits the actuator.
Features •UL listed for plenum installations
•Direct-coupled installation without tools
•Manual override
•Visual position indication
Application For use in heating and cooling HVAC applications with Powermite 599 MZ Series
valves that need 45 lb. (200N) nominal force. They can be used in liquid service
applications.
Product Number SSB81U Actuator prefix code 254
Ordering
Information To order a complete valve plus actuator assembly from the factory, combine the
actuator prefix code with the suffix of the valve product number. See Technical Bulletin
TB 252 (155-307P25) for selection procedures.
To order an actuator only, use the product number.
Warning/Caution Notations
WARNING: Personal injury or loss of life may occur if you do not perform
a procedure as specified.
CAUTION: Equipment damage or loss of data may occur if you do not
follow a procedure as specified.

Operation A 24 Vac control signal to the Y1 extends the actuator output shaft.
A 24 Vac control signal to the Y2 retracts the actuator output shaft.
The stroke travel is proportional to the length of time the signal is applied. With no
control voltage or in the event of a power failure, the actuator maintains its last
position.
NOTE: Do not attempt to operate an actuator if it is not attached to a valve. In this
situation, the actuator will only respond to a signal on terminal Y1, and drive
to the full stroke position. It will then hold at the full stroke position.
Only by attaching the actuator to a valve, or by manually depressing the
actuator stem to engage an internal micro-switch, will the actuator respond to
a signal on terminal Y2.
Mounting and
Installation
Figure 3. Mounting Position.
Mount the actuator in one of the allowable positions shown in Figure 3.
When mounting the actuator in a plenum, the proper cable must be attached to meet
local codes.
Allow 8 inches (200 mm) above the actuator and 8 inches (200 mm) behind the cable
for service.
Installation Instructions are included with the actuator.
Wiring Do not use autotransformers. Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2 power
supplies.
Determine supply transformer rating by summing total VA of all actuators used.
It is recommended that one transformer power no more than 10 actuators.
See Table 1 for terminal connections.
NOTE: Can be wired either neutral or hot switched.
