Canadian Department of Communications (DOC) This class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations. European Standard EN 55022 This is a class B (European Classification) product. In a do- mestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Mounting The Modulating PopTop Series valves can be mounted in hori- zontal or vertical piping. When installed in horizontal piping, the actuator must be above the valve body. Refer to Figure-6. Piping Refer to the piping diagrams in Figure-7 for two-way valves. For three-way valves refer to Figure-8. • The 3-way is only configured as normally closed. For normally open configuration to the coil turn valve around. For proportional valves, set the control action (direct or reverse accordingly). Note: • The valve should be used in a closed loop system. • All valves must be piped so that the plug closes against the direction of flow. For two-way valves, flow is from port B to port A. For normally closed three-way valves, B is the service port and A is the bypass port. For normally open three-way valves. A is the service port and B is the bypass port. • Three-way VM valves must be piped in a mixing configuration, not diverting. Sweat End Valves 1. Slowly position the actuator’s manual operating lever (on the front of the actuator) to the middle position, to manual- ly open the valve so that the plug is not in contact with the valve body. Note • The plug inside the valve is made of a plastic material. It may be damaged by heat conducted through the valve body if it remains seated against its port during soldering • Be sure to manually open the valve before soldering to prevent damage. 85 360 Figure 6.

October, 2018 tc Document Number: F-27013-10 • If the manual operating lever does not move freely for manual positioning, the solenoid may have latched during shipping. Do not force the lever. Instead, first unlatch the solenoid by placing the red manual solenoid latch lever (on the side of the actuator) in the "Up" position, then placing the manual operating lever in the middle position. 2. With the valve in the mid-position, latch the solenoid by placing the manual solenoid latch lever in the "Up" posi- tion. Then, detach the actuator by depressing the release button and pulling it away from the valve body ( Figure-9). Note • Be sure to remove the actuator from the valve body before soldering, to avoid damage to the actuator and to ease the soldering process. • Use only lead or tin based solder with a melting point below 600×F (315×C).

Thoroughly clean the ends of the water supply tubing for a minimum distance of 1 inch (25 mm) from the end, so that a good joint can be made in the shortest time and without an excessively large flame. 4. Solder the valve body in place, directing the flame tip away from the valve and taking care not to overheat the joint area. When finished, cool the valve quickly with a wet cloth. Note: The valve body may be submerged in water, or pressur- ized, for leak testing before reattaching the actuator. 5. Reinstall the actuator according to "Reattaching the Actua- tor to the Valve Body." NPT and Rp Threaded Valves Note: When installing threaded valves, the actuator should be detached from the valve body to ease installation. To do so, first slowly move the actuator’s manual operating lever (on the front of the actuator) to the middle position. Then latch the solenoid by placing the red manual solenoid latch lever on the side of the actuator to the "Up" position. Finally detach the actuator by depressing the release button and pulling the actuator away from the valve body ( Figure-9). 1. Apply teflon tape to all but the last two threads on the end of a properly threaded, reamed, and cleaned pipe. Make sure that pipe chips, scale, etc. do not get into the pipe since this material may lodge in the valve seat and prevent proper closing and opening of the valve. 2. Start the joint by hand-screwing the pipe to the valve. If the thread engages normally, turn the pipe by hand as far as it will go. 3. Use a wrench to fully tighten the valve to the pipe using the flats located on the valve body ports. Take care not to over-tighten or strip the threads. 4. Reinstall the actuator according to "Reattaching the Actu- ator to the Valve Body." Reattaching the Actuator to the Valve Body 1. Before reinstalling the actuator, be sure that its manual operating lever is in the mid-position, and that the sole- noid is latched. The solenoid is latched when the manual solenoid latch lever is in its "Up" position ( Figure-9). 2. Depress the release button. 3. Align the valve body with the actuator to ensure the stem is inserted into the large mating hole on the bottom side of the actuator ( Figure-9). 4. Engage the actuator on the body and release the button. Wiring Note: • Multiple actuators may be connected to a single controller, up to the current rating of the controller and transformer. Do not exceed the maximum current draw of the controller. • Use of a properly sized, inherently limited, Class 2 transformer is recommended. • Use only 18 to 24 AWG copper wire for all connections. • The return spring feature is primarily a safety feature. It is recommended that the spring return feature is not used for routine, normal operation. Three-wire Floating Note: • The three-wire floating spring return valve includes a time- out feature that automatically turns off the control signal to the valve after a pre-determined period of continuous operation. This time period is three minutes at 60 Hz and 3.6 minutes at 50 Hz. • Spring return valves feature a two second time delay upon power loss, to prevent the loss of valve position during brief outages. There is a three second delay at power-up. 1. Remove the cover from the actuator, then connect the power and control wiring to the terminal block ( Figure-1 and Figure-3). 2. Reinstall the cover onto the actuator. Proportional Note: If multiple proportional valves are used on a single 4 to 20 mA loop, each valve must have its own isolation transform- er. 1. Remove the cover from the actuator, then connect the power and control wiring to the terminal block ( Figure-4 and Figure-5).

Document Number: F-27013-10 ing, 0 to 10 Vdc mode, which means that the valve opens the B port upon receiving an increasing Vdc control signal. To change the action to reverse-action (valve closes with an increase in control signal), simply remove the action jumper J2 and relocate it to the reverse-acting pins. See Figure-4 and Figure-5. 2. Reinstall the cover onto the actuator. Initial Setup Application Notes These valves are designed for application to closed hydronic heating and cooling systems. Use in systems which have sub- stantial make-up water (open systems) is not recommended. High levels of dissolved oxygen, chlorine, and debris that may be found in open systems can attack the valve materials and result in premature failure. 3-Wire Floating "T" Type The controller or thermostat used to operate the "T" type must be configured to turn off the control signal after being on con- tinuously for three minutes. 3-Wire Floating Time Out "T" Option If the control system used does not have the ability to limit the running time, then the time out option must be utilized, which automatically cuts off the control signal to the valve after three minutes of continuous operation. This is standard on the spring return, and is an option on the non-spring return. Proportional "P" Type Multiple "P" valves may be connected to a single controller, up to the current rating of the controller and transformer. For 4-20 mA control, a separate isolation transformer must be used with each valve. The actuator is also provided with a jumper to allow the action to be reversed. All units are shipped with the actua- tor in the DA (direct acting) mode, which means that the valve opens the B port upon receiving an increasing control signal. To change the action to reverse action (valve closes upon re- ceiving an increasing control signal), simply remove the action jumper and relocate it to the RA (reverse acting) pins. Checkout 1. Make sure the valve operates freely before installing the valve. 2. If the stem does not operate freely it may indicate that the stem was damaged and may require that the valve be repaired or replaced. 3. After the piping is under pressure check the valve body and the connections for leaks. 4. After the valve and actuators are installed power the actu- ator and check the operation. a. For two-way model: –Power the valve to the close position (per label), and the "B" port should be closed. b. For three-way model: –Power the valve to the open position (per label), and the "A" port should be closed. c. For Spring Return model: –Removing power should return the actuator to its normal position. Theory Of Operation The PopTop Series floating or proportional modulation valves are modulating valve actuator assemblies. The modulating valves are designed to control the flow in the circuit by making incremental adjustments to the flow path with-in the valve. The Spring Return PopTop Series modulating valves, when powered, the actuator moves to the desired position, at the same time tensing the spring return system. When power is removed for more than two minutes the spring returns the actu- ator to the normal position. Maintenance The Modulating PopTop Series valves require no maintenance. Replace defective modules Regular maintenance of the total system is recomended to assure sustained, optimum performance. Field Repair Replace any damaged or failed components with complete bodies or actuator replacements.schneider-electric.com | 9 Selection Guide ©2018 Schneider Electric. All rights reserved.
