PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Actuator will not open or close during
inial startup
 Incorrect wiring of the gray DIN power
connector
 Rewiring the gray DIN power plug per the
actuator electrical diagram and instrucons.
 No suitable switching device  Customer to supply a SPDT mechanical relay or a
3-way 2-posion manual switch to open and close
the actuator.
 Incorrect voltage being supplied to actuator  Conrm correct voltage is being applied to the
actuator. Connecng incorrect voltage may
damage the actuator beyond repair. Do not apply
more than 25.2 volts to the 12-24 volt actuators
(24volts +5%).
 Power supply is not sized large enough  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 compable with
the actuator. Leakage current from solid state
relays or contacts may cause actuator
malfuncon.
 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 (valve) will close, but will not
open during inial startup. Slow LED
blink with DC voltage models.
 Incorrect wiring of the gray DIN power
connector
 Neutral or minus (-) power lead MUST be
connected to PIN 1 on gray power connector
(polarity sensive).
Actuator will not power up, LED on top
of actuator does not turn ON
 Excessive power surge and/or an over voltage
condion. Damaged main circuit board.
 LED light should be ON when power is applied. If
actuator was damaged by a power surge or over
voltage condion, replace with new actuator
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”
 Over-torque (possible valve jam).  Remove over-torque condion, repower and try
again
Actuator will not complete the cycle
LED blinking on-o, red or green
 Main control board or motor failure  Replace with new actuator or return to factory for
evaluaon and/or possible repair

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Cannot turn the manual override knob
 Manual override selector lever in ‘AUTO’ mode  Move manual override selector to ‘MAN’ mode
 Excessive force applied to manual override
knob, this may have damaged the gear drive
 If aer selecng ’MAN’, manual override sll does
not work, replace with a new actuator
 Valve jam  Clear valve jam and try again
Actuator fails to operate and
condensaon or water is found inside
the actuator
 DIN plug connectors are loose, missing or have
damaged seals. Connector seal installed
incorrectly.
 Inspect seals and replace if necessary. Make sure
seals are installed correctly and ghten DIN
connectors screw securely (0.4 to 0.5Nm).
 Built in heater was not acvated connuously  Power must be maintained to the actuator either
in the open or closed posion to acvate internal
heater. This heater will help prevent condensa-
on buildup inside the actuator. If the actuator
has failed due to excessive condensaon or water
inside the actuator, replace with a new actuator.
Actuator fails and excessive black dust
and/or corrosion is found under the
red cover
 Excessive condensaon or water inside
actuator. Highly corrosive environment,
saltwater, chemicals, other.
 If the actuator has failed due to excessive black
dust or corrosion inside the actuator, typically it is
non-repairable and must be replaced with a new
actuator.
 Black dust from motor brush wear may be
caused by exceeding the 75% duty rang of the
actuator.
 Actuator must be operated within the 75% duty
cycle rang. Typically, this means the motor can
be running for 45 seconds, then must be o for
15 seconds of each minute.
 Actuator is worn out  Replace with a new actuator
 Switches are wired incorrectly  Check the switch wiring and make sure the
common for limit switches is on PIN 1. If checking
connuity, you should have connuity between
PIN 1 and 2 when actuator is closed and
connuity between PIN 1 and 3 when open. No
connuity when actuator is moving in between
closed and open posions.
No output signal from posion
conrmaon limit switches  Exceeding the current capacity has damaged
the limit switch. Switch rang 3 amps @
125/250VAC, 30VDC resisve load.
 Damage to the limit switches is not a eld
repairable item. Either return actuator to the
factory for possible repairs or replace with a new
actuator.
 Limit switch cams are out of adjustment.  Limit switch cams can be adjusted if necessary.

Wiring Posion Conrmaon Limit Switches:
Two auxiliary dry contact limit switches are provided to conrm the
actuator (valve) open and closed posion. Use of these switches is
oponal and not required for the actuator to funcon properly. Switch
rang 3A@125/250VAC, 30VDC resisve load. Do not connect a
ground to this connector.

Wiring Main Power Connecon:
Power is connected to the actuator via the large gray DIN plug
connector. Wires are connected to screw terminals located inside the
connector. User/installer to supply a SPDT mechanical relay or a 3-way
2-posion switch to control the actuator open and closed posion.
Power supplied to PIN 1 and PIN 2: CLOSED POSITION
Power supplied to PIN 1 and PIN 3: OPEN POSITION
Ground: Connect the at pin on DIN connector to earth ground
NOTES:
1. The Neutral (AC voltages) or Negave (DC voltages) must be connected
to PIN 1. The actuator is polarity sensive.
2. Power should be maintained, either in the open or closed posion to
acvate the internal heater. This heater will help prevent condensaon
build up inside the actuator.
3. Actuator should have it’s own fused and isolated circuit. Do not connect
actuators in parallel or on the same circuit with other equipment.
4. Supply voltage to 24 volt actuators should not exceed 25.2 volts
(24 volts +5%).

5610/5616 Series
Valve Misapplicaon
Somemes electric actuated valves may fail due to misapplicaon or using the valve in the wrong applicaon. Reviewing
and complying with the product specicaons will ensure long-term trouble free operaon. Specicaons can be found
online or in the product data sheet. Customers that connue to have problems with an actuator will usually indicate one
of two things. Either the actuated valve is unsuitable for the applicaon or it’s not in compliance with one or more of the
following issues:
Voltage: The voltage must be within the operang range of the actuator.
Over voltage or under voltage may cause premature failure.
Temperature: Operang outside the temperature rang will shorten the
life and ulmately cause the actuator to fail. Valworx 5610/5616 series
actuators must operate within the range of -4 to +158°F (-20 to +70°C).
Environment: The 5610/5616 series actuators have an IP67 weather-
proof rang. Generally suitable for indoor or outdoor applicaons. Provides
a degree of protecon against rain, splashing water and hose directed water
(Do not pressure wash). Protecng the actuator against rain, snow, ice and
UV (sunlight) will typically extend the life of the product. Highly corrosive
environments may cause premature failure of electronic components. Do not
use these actuators where explosion proof equipment is required.
Duty Cycle: Exceeding the 75% duty cycle rang of the 5610/5616 series
actuators will cause premature failure of the motor and/or electronic boards.
The motor should not move for at least 25% of the me (or typically 15
seconds of each minute).
Fluid Media: The valve materials of construcon should be compable
with the media (uid) owing through the valve. This would include all weed
parts or parts in contact with the media. Contacng the manufacturer of the
uid or consulng a media compability guide may be helpful. Ball valves and
buery valves generally require good clean owing media.
Pressure: Valves must operate within the pressure rang as listed in the
specicaons. The pressure rang is typically the highest non-shock working
pressure allowed within certain temperature limits. Reference the P/T chart
(pressure/temperature chart) to conrm the valve will operate within the
required pressure and temperature limits.
Fluid Velocity: The uid velocity should not exceed certain limits to help
avoid excessive noise, shock and damage to the piping system, seals and
valves. Typically, the maximum velocity of the uid owing through Valworx
metal valves should be less than 10 feet/second (3 m/s). The maximum
velocity for plasc valves should be less than 5 feet/second (1.5 m/s).
