SQD Series Valve Actuators
(For use with 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch Pressure Independent
Control Valves)
Item Number: 129-553, Rev. AA Page 1 of 4
Product Description
The SQD Actuator requires a 24 Volt power supply
and a 0 to 10Vdc or floating signal to control the
Siemens 1-1/2 inch and 2-inch 599 Series Pressure
Independent Control Valves with 1/4-inch (6.5 mm)
stroke.
Warning/Caution Notations
WARNING: Personal injury/loss of life may
occur if you do not perform a
procedure as specified.
CAUTION: Equipment damage may occur
if you do not perform a
procedure as specified.

Required Tools
•1-1/4-inch open end wrench
•#2 Phillips or flat-blade screwdriver
•Flat-blade calibration screwdriver (3 mm) for
wiring connections
•Wire cutter/stripper
Estimated Installation Time
•15 minutes for wiring a factory-installed
actuator.
•30 minutes for field replacement of actuator.
Prerequisites
WARNING:
If mounting the actuator to a valve
already in line, either close the shut-off
valves in the piping (upstream first,
then downstream) or switch off the
pump to allow the differential pressure
in the valve to drop.
WARNING:
Disconnect the controller power
before replacing the actuator.

NOTE: Vertical mounting is recommended.
Instructions
If you are mounting an actuator on a new valve, begin
with the instructions, Mounting an Actuator to a Valve.
Remove Actuator from Valve
1. Remove the actuator cover using either a #2
Phillips or a #2 flat blade screwdriver.
See Figure 2.

3. Use a 1-1/4-inch open end wrench to loosen the
coupling piece.
4. Remove the actuator from the valve.
Mounting an Actuator to a Valve
1. If you are attaching the actuator to a new valve,
remove the protective plastic cap from the valve
stem. See Figure 3.

2. Turn the manual-positioning knob
counterclockwise to “0”. See Figure 4.

4. Use a 1-1/4-inch open-end wrench to tighten the
coupling piece to a maximum of 22 ft-lbs. See
Figure 6.

5. Use either a Phillips head screwdriver or a flat-
blade screwdriver to remove the actuator cover for
access to the terminal block, selector plug, and
jumper wire. See Figure 7.

6. Attach wires, set the selector plug and if
necessary, cut the R–M jumper. See Wiring.
7. Place the cover on the actuator. The positioning
knob must be at “0” to fit into the shaft. If the cover
does not fit, turn it 180 degrees.

Wiring
All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and
regulations.
Use earth ground isolating, step-down Class 2
transformers. Do not use auto transformers.
Determine the supply transformer rating by adding
the total VA of all actuators used. The maximum
rating for Class 2 step-down transformer is 100 VA. It
is recommended that no more than 10 actuators be
powered by one transformer.
SQD65U
To use a 0 to 1000 ohm input signal on terminal R,
the circuit board jumper R—M must be cut.
CAUTION:
If the circuit board jumper R–M is cut, you
cannot wire the R and M terminals on the
terminal block to re-establish the
connection.
The 0 to 1000 ohm signal is additive to the 0 to 10
Vdc control signal. For example, a controller
commanded to 2 Vdc (20%) plus a remote override
input to 300 ohms (30%) results in a position of 50%
stroke.

WARNING:
Terminal connection G is 24 Vac HOT, not
ground.
CAUTIONS:
•G0 and G must be properly wired for
correct function and full life of the
actuator.
•If the actuator makes a buzzing noise
upon reaching setpoint, G and G0 are
improperly wired and should be
reversed.
