The valve’s actuator can be installed after the valve body has been installed onto the fan coil, baseboard or air handler. VS Series valves are available for low pressure steam applications. PopTop Series are two position spring return valves. When powered, the actuator moves to the desired position, tensing the spring return system. When power is removed the actuator returns to the normal posi- tion. PopTop Series two position spring return valves can be purchased with an optional built-in auxiliary SPDT end switch for interfacing or signaling; for example, zone pump burner control. Actuators are designed fror cycling applications (not constantly powered). Specifications ServiceHot and chilled water models, up to 50% glycol.

These limits are designed to provide reason- able protection against harmful interference in residential installations. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. Even when instructions are followed, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment causes harmful interference to radio and television reception—which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on—the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: • Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. • Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. • Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. • Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help. Soldering Note: Do not solder with actuator in place, or with paddle against seat, as the heat can damage the unit. Before soldering, move the manual open lever into Open position then remove the actuator from the body. Orient pad- dle so it is not against a seat. Use lead or tin based solder with melting point below 600 °F. Do not overheat. Direct flame tip away from valve. Cool valve quickly with a wet cloth. Body assembly can be submerged for leak testing prior to attach- ing the actuator. HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK • Follow safe electrical work practices.

If package is damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious dam- age. Return damaged products. Required Tools • Tools (not provided) • Wrench 1 to 1-5/8” (if threaded valve) • Soldering equipment (if sweat fit) or flare • Training: Installer must be a qualified, experienced technician • Other accessories as appropriate Mounting Install the valves in either horizontal or vertical piping. When installing in horizontal piping, place the actuator above the valve. The actuator can be tilted up to 85˚ from the vertical. Note: Do not install the actuator underneath an overhead water source that may drip onto the actuator. If necessary, protect the actuator using a drip pan or other protection. 85 360 Wiring Typical Wiring of a PopTop to Replace a Honeywell Valve To Aux. Circuit Motor End SwitchRed To Aux.

June, 2019 tc Document Number: F-26496-10 Typical Multiple Valve Wiring Thermostat T1 T2 Valve #1 Valve #2 BURNER CONTROL TH TR ES ES TH/TR T T L1 L2 TH TR ES ES TH/TR Piping Pipe the valves so the paddle closes against the direction of flow. Flow is from B to A. Refer to the figures below. When installing the actuator to a normally closed valve, place the actuator in the manually open position using the manual operating lever. The first time the valve is operated electri- cally, the manual operating lever of the actuator transfers to the automatic position. Use the manual operating lever flush the system after installation. The valves are designed for application in closed hydronic heating and cooling systems. High levels of dissolved oxygen and chlorine found in open systems may attack the valve materials and result in prema- ture failure. Use a drip pan if condensation in chilled water applications occurs. Use in systems that have substantial make-up water (open systems) is not recommended. Follow proper water treat- ment practices and system procedures. Refer to document F-26080-1 for Water and Steam EN205 Guidelines. Notes: • Three-way valves always require a normally closed actuator. • Three-way valves are always closed at the B port when no power is applied to the motor. • On power-up the valve closes to A port on three-way valves. • Orient the three-way valve body as needed for normally open or normally closed flow through coil. • For three-way N.O. applications, use a N.C. actuator and pipe the valve in reverse. • Apply Teflon tape to all but the last two threads of male pipe thread. Hand screw the pipe into the valve, turning it as far as it will go. Use a wrench to fully tighten the valve to the pipe. Do not over tighten or strip the threads. Inverted Flare Union Connection Solder fittings onto the pipe. Use solder with melting point below 600°F. Mount valve to union nuts. Release Button Manual Operating Lever Mating Hole High Close-Off (H) General Close-Off (G) Mating Hole Release Button Manual Operating Lever Stem Installing Actuator Onto Valve Body Slowly latch the manual operating lever in the open, engaged position (AG1 or AH1 only). Depress the release button (see figure above). Align the body with the actuator to ensure the stem is inserted into the large mating hole on the bottom side of the actuator. Engage the actuator on the body and release the button. Do not use the valve body to manually open the actuator as damage to the valve actuator will result. Checkout Make sure the valve stem rotates freely before and after installing the actuator. 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. After the piping is under pressure, check the valve body and the connections for leaks. After the valve and actuator are installed, power the actuator and check the operation. Maintenance PopTop Series two position spring return valves are main- tenance free. Replace defective modules. Actuator may be replaced without removing the valve. Regular maintenance of the total system is recomended to ensure sustained, opti- mum performance. Field Repair Replace any damaged or failed components with a new valve body or actuator. RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE • Protect the valve body from freezing. Freezing can be caused by low ambient air temperatures or by equipment such as water source heat pumps with inadequate freeze protection. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage. NOTICE schneider-electric.com | 7 Installation Instructions © 2016 Schneider Electric. All rights reserved.
