599 Series Zone Valves Installation Instructions Document No. 129-335 May 22, 2017 SFA/SFP Electronic Valve Actuator 2-Position Control Item Number 129-335, Rev. CA Page 1 of 5 Product Description The SF Series actuator requires a 24 Vac, 120 Vac, 208 Vac, or 277 Vac Class-2 supply signal to control Siemens Zone Valves with a 1/10-inch (2.5 mm) stroke. Warning/Caution Notations WARNING: Personal injury or loss of life may occur if you do not follow a procedure as specified. CAUTION: Equipment damage or loss of data may occur if you do not follow a procedure as specified.

Acceptable Mounting Positions. The vertical position is recommended for mounting. Prerequisites WARNING: 1. If mounting the actuator to a valve already in line: •Close the shut-off valves in the piping (upstream first, then downstream). Or •Switch off the pump to allow the differential pressure in the valve to drop. 2. Disconnect the controller power before replacing the actuator. WARNING: Actuators must not be exposed to condensed/dripping water. If the actuators are installed below piping that can drip condensate, either the actuator needs to be protected by shielding to deflect the water drip or the piping needs to be insulated to prevent condensation. WARNING: Actuator housing must not be in contact, or close proximity to adjacent hot water supply or return piping. Loosen retaining ring and rotate actuator if necessary, to avoid proximity or contact with hot water supply or return piping, then re- tighten ring to maintain desired orientation. CAUTION: When selecting a heating or cooling on/off zone valve that must be closed for long periods of time or an entire season, use a Normally Closed actuator (such as SFA Actuators) for new or replacement applications. If the valve needs to be open for extended periods of time or an entire season, use a Normally Open actuator (such as SFP Actuators) for new or replacement applications. SFP Actuators should not be used on hot water systems that remain operational all year long or where actuators are continually commanded closed during the summer.Document No. 129-335 Installation Instructions May 22, 2017 Page 2 of 5Siemens Industry, Inc. Installation CAUTION: The black actuator attachment support ring must be in place on top of the valve bonnet before installing the actuator. If the support ring is not in place, damage to the actuator connection may result. Mounting the SFP Actuator to a Valve 1. Place the actuator on the valve and firmly hand-tighten the coupling piece. 2. Connect the wires. SeeWiring. Mounting the SFA Actuator on a Valve 1. Rotate the manual override lever and latch. 2. Place the actuator on the valve and firmly hand-tighten the coupling piece. CAUTION: Failure to fully rotate the manual override handle before hand tightening will hinder proper valve close off. 3. Release manual override handle. 4. Connect the wires. SeeWiring. Figure 2. Mounting the Actuator on a Valve. The installation is now complete. Removing the Actuator from a Valve 1. Disconnect the wiring. 2. Unscrew actuator-coupling piece from the valve body threads. 3. Remove the actuator from the valve.Document No. 129-335 Installation Instructions May 22, 2017 Siemens Industry, Inc.Page 3 of 5 Wiring • All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations. • Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2 transformers. NOTE:Do not use autotransformers. • Determine the supply transformer rating by summing the total VA of all actuators used. The maximum rating for a Class 2 step-down transformer is 100 VA. NOTE:It is recommended that one transformer power no more than 10 actuators. • SFA71U/SFP71U 24 Vac actuators: Wiring connection can be made inside the actuator housing (remove the housing top for access). • Line voltage actuators: Wiring connection requires junction box and flex conduit no further than 15 inches (381 mm) from actuator. CAUTION: G0 and G must be properly wired for correct function and full life of the actuator. Figure 3. 24 Vac Actuator Wiring Diagram. Figure 4. 120 Vac Actuator Wiring Diagram. Figure 5. 208 Vac Actuator Wiring Diagram.Document No. 129-335 Installation Instructions May 22, 2017 Page 4 of 5Siemens Industry, Inc. Figure 6. 277 Vac Actuator Wiring Diagram. Manual Override For manual positioning, rotate the manual override handle clockwise 180°, and squeeze it to latch around protruding stop. See Figure 7. NOTE:The actuator will automatically unlatch when power is applied. Override handle at position0. Override handle at position1. Figure 7. Manual Override Handle Position. Start-Up When the manual override handle is at the "0" position, the output shaft is retracted if the actuator is normally open, or extended if normally closed. See Figure 8. When the Manual Override handle is rotated to position 1, the reverse is true. See Figure 9. Check the wiring and the position indication. (A) Allow the handle to turn counterclockwise to retract the spindle. (B) Turn the handle clockwise to extend the spindle. Figure 8. Normally Open (SFP Series). (A) Allow handle to turn counterclockwise to extend spindle. (B) Turn handle clockwise to retract spindle. CAUTION: To avoid damage to actuator, DO NOT manually assist spring return. Figure 9. Normally Closed (SFA Series). NOTE: The0 and1 position markings are intended for reference only and not stroke measurement.Information in this publication is based on current specifications.
