An AC 24 V (AGA or IGA models), AC 100 to 240 V (IUA models), or AC 24 V power and a DC 0(2) to 10 V or 0(4) to 20 mA controller (GGA models) input signal from the controller to electric actuator causes the motor to rotate in the proper direction and moves the ball open or closed. When the controller stops sending the input signal, the electric actuator remains in place.Note:To avoid excessive wear or drive time on the motor for the AGA models, use a controller and/or software that provides a timeout function at the end of rotation (stall).Repair InformationIf the VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuator fails to operate within its specifications, replace the unit. For a replacement electric actuator, contact the nearest JohnsonControls representative.Wiring DiagramsVA9104-AGA-2S and VA9104-IGA-2SThe VA9104-AGA-2S and VA9104-IGA-2S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators require an AC 24 V input signal and work with a variety of controllers. These electric actuators include an integrated 48 in. (1.2 m) long cable; see Figure 2 for proper wiring. Note:Use a controller or software that provides a timeout function at the end of rotation (stall) to avoid excessive wear or drive time on the actuator motor with all VA9104-AGA Series Actuators. The -GGA and -IGA models have an auto shutoff feature to prevent excessive wear or drive time on the motor.IMPORTANT:Use this VA9104Series Electric Non-Spring Return Actuator only to control equipment under normal operating conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the electric actuator could lead to personal injury or property damage to the controlled equipment or other property, additional precautions must be designed into the control system. Incorporate and maintain other devices, such as supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit controls, intended to warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of the electric actuator.IMPORTANT:Do not install or use this VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return Actuator in or near environments where corrosive substances or vapors could be present. Exposure of the electric actuator to corrosive environments may damage the internal components of the device, and will void the warranty.Figure 2: VA9104-AGA-2S and VA9104-IGA-2S Control Wiring DiagramREDORNBLK123~AC 24 V 50/60 Hz~~VA9104 Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators Product Bulletin3VA9104-AGA-3S and VA9104-IGA-3SThe VA9104-AGA-3S and VA9104-IGA-3S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators require an AC 24 V input signal and work with a variety of controllers. These electric actuators include M3 screw terminals that require a slotted screwdriver; see Figure3 and Figure4 for proper wiring. VA9104-IUA-2SThe VA9104-IUA-2S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators require an 85 to 265 V AC input signal and work with a variety of controllers. These actuators include an integrated 48 in. (1.2 m) long cable; see Figure5 and Figure6 for proper wiring.

These electric actuators include an integrated 48 in. (1.2 m) long cable; see Figure7 for proper wiring.VA9104-GGA-3SThe VA9104-GGA-3S Series Electric Non-Spring Return Valve Actuators require AC 24 V power and a DC 0(2) to 10 V or 0(4) to 20 mA controller input signal. These electric actuators include M3 screw terminals that require a slotted screwdriver. See Figure8 for proper wiring.VA9104-GGA actuators are factory set for Direct Acting (DA) mode and for a DC 0 to 10 V input control signal. In DA mode, a minimum control signal drives the actuator to the full counterclockwise (CCW) position, and a maximum control signal drives the actuator to the full clockwise (CW) position.For Reverse Acting (RA) operation, a minimum control signal drives the actuator to the full CW position and a maximum signal drives the actuator to the full CCW position. To change the factory settings, remove the actuator cover and adjust the switches on the circuit board.
