Actuator for modulating control

AME 435

Description • energy saving, cost reducing and energy

efficiency improving anti-oscillation function
• the advanced design incorporates load
related ‘switch-off’ to ensure that actuators
and valves are not exposed to overload

Combinations with other valves could be seen

under Accessories.

Main data:
• Nominal voltage (AC or DC):
- 24 V, 50 Hz/60 Hz
• Control input signal:
- 0(4)-20 mA
- 0(2)-10 V
• Force: 400 N
• Stroke: 20 mm
• Speed (selectable):
- 7,5 s/mm
- 15 s/mm
AMV 435 actuator is used with two and three-way • Max. medium temperature: 130 °C
valves type VRB, VRG, VF and VL up to DN 80 • Self stroking
diameter and for AHQM DN 40-100. • LED signalling
• External RESET button
The actuator has some special features: • Output signal
• it automatically adapts its stroke to the valve • Manual operation
end positions which reduces commissioning
time (self stroking)
• valve flow adjustment feature; flow can be
variably-adjusted from linear to logarithmic or
opposite.

Installation Mechanical
No tool is required to mount actuator on the
valve. Installation of the valve with the actuator
is allowed in horizontal position or upwards.
Installation downwards is not allowed.
①
The actuator must not be installed in an
explosive atmosphere, at ambient temperature
lower than 0 °C or at ambient temperature higher ③
②
than 55 °C. It must not be subject to steam jets, ⑤
water jets or dripping liquid as well.
④
Note:
The actuator may be rotated up to 360° with respect
to the valve stem by loosening the retaining fixture.
Once the actuator is placed, retighten the fixture.

Electrical
Electrical connections can be accessed by
removing the actuator cover. Two cable gland
entries without thread (Ø16 and combined
Ø16/Ø20) are prepared for cable glands. From
factory one entry is provided by rubber cable
gland and the other entry is prepared for
opening.

Note:
Cable and cable gland used must not compromise
the actuator’s IP rating, and must ensure the
connectors are fully strain relieved.
Rubber cable gland delivered from factory does not
compromise IP rating but it does not provide fully
strain relieve according to LVD directive.
Please observe local rules and regulations as well.

The actuator has a special valve-flow

adjustment feature. Flow can be, by turning
the potentiometer clock wise (CW) or counter
clockwise (CCW), variably adjusted from linear
to logarithmic or opposite. For details see

Manual override Manual override is done by means of control

knob on actuator housing:

• Disconnect power supply or press STAND-BY/

RESET button
• Adjust valve position using the control knob
(observe the rotation direction)

After manual override is not needed:

• Restore power supply or press STAND-BY/
RESET button again

Remark:
When the manual override has been used, the
output signal (X) is not correct until the actuator
reaches its end position.
