Valworx electric actuators are 100% tested to ensure
trouble free installaon and operaon.
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Actuator will not open or close during
inial startup
• Incorrect voltage or power connecon. • Conrm correct voltage is being applied to gray
connector and power connecon is wired
correctly. Neutral or negave (-) must be
connected to PIN 1. Do not apply more than 25.2
volts to prior model 12-24 volt actuators (24volts
+5% tolerance).
• Incorrect control signal input. This must be an
industry standard analog input control signal.
Do NOT connect a baery or variable power
supply directly to the control signal input. This
will damage the control circuit board.
• Conrm actuator is setup for correct input (4-
20mA or 0-10vdc). Conrm control signal wiring is
correct per wiring diagram and instrucons
• Undersized power supply • This is a motor circuit, therefore power supply
should be sized at least 3 mes full load current.
• Actuator does not have an isolated circuit or is
connected in parallel with other actuators or
equipment
• Actuator should have its own fused and isolated
circuit. Do not connect actuators in parallel or
with other equipment on the same circuit.
• Controls or controller is not compable with
the actuator
• If possible, bench test the actuator without user
controls or controller. This will help determine
whether there is a problem with the actuator or
the input control circuit.
Actuator will not power up, LED on top
of actuator does not turn ON • Excessive power surge and/or an over voltage
condion. Damaged circuit board.
• LED light should be ON when power is applied. If
actuator was damaged by a power surge or over
voltage condion, replace with new actuator
Actuator LED blinking on-o, red or
green (with BSR - baery backup in-
stalled)
• BSR - Baery Spring Return is acvated and
sending actuator to pre-designated failsafe
condion
• Restore power to actuator to return to normal
operaon
Actuator runs but does not rotate
LED double blink or blinking orange
• Actuator may be in the manual mode • Move “MAN” selector lever to “AUTO”
Actuator will not complete the cycle
5610, 5615 series LED blinking on-o
5616 series LED blinking red or green
• Over-torque (possible valve jam). • Remove over-torque condion, repower and
retry
• Main control board or motor failure • Replace with new actuator or return to factory for
evaluaon and/or possible repair
Actuator powers ON but will not
complete cycle • Control board or motor failure • Replace with new actuator or return to factory for
evaluaon.
• Manual override selector lever in ‘AUTO’ mode • Move manual override selector to ‘MAN’ mode
Cannot turn the manual override knob
• Excessive force applied to manual override
knob, this may have damaged the gear drive
• If aer selecng ’MAN’, manual override sll does
not work, replace with a new actuator
• Valve jam • Clear valve jam and try again
