Page 3 Specifications, Continued Regulatory agencies UL Listed UL 873 cUL Listed Canadian Standard 22.2 No. 24.93 Dimensions See Dimensions Technical/ Mechanical Design The actuator can be operated as a 3-position or modulating actuator in two acting directions depending on the type of connection. It is suitable for pressure independent control valves with 20 mm or 40 mm stroke. The stroke is calibrated automatically during initialization. The actuator includes a position feedback. The actuator travels to the end position in the event of power loss, see Fail-safe function. Up to 45 seconds pass until the actuator is available again following a restart or start after the fail-safe function is triggered. The positioning time (40 to 240 seconds) and the flow characteristic (lin/log) can be set via the DIP switches. 1 Status and acting direction indication (LED) 2 Housing cover 3 Entry points for wiring 4 Manual adjuster 5 Indication of upper end position 6 Valve stem coupling 7 Indication of lower end position 8 Valve neck coupling Figure 1. Components. Manual mode The manual adjuster allows for manually setting the position. The motor is switched off when the manual adjuster is engaged. The fail-safe function (spring return) is reactivated after the manual adjuster is disengaged, and the actuator travels again to the set position without calibration. The actuator remains in the manual mode without active operating voltage for as long as the manual adjustor is engaged. Initialization, automatic coupling, calibration The actuator independently calibrates itself for each type of connection. Initialization occurs as soon as operating voltage is supplied for the first time and the waiting period ends. The actuator travels to the lower stop of the pressure independent control valve, thus enabling automatic coupling with the valve stem. It then travels to the upper stop, records and stores it. Recalibration can be manually triggered any time, see Recalibration. Technical Instructions SQV Series Electromotive Valve Actuators Document Number 155-521 June 16, 2015 Page 4 Siemens Industry, Inc. Three-position control signal The pressure independent control valve can travel to any position by supplying voltage to terminal G1 or G2. • Voltage on G2: Actuator stem retracts, valve opens • Voltage on G1: Actuator stem extends, valve closes • No voltage on G1 and G2: Actuator stem stays at the applicable position Changeover of acting direction The acting direction of the stroke can be reversed by exchanging connections G1 and G2. Direct acting Positioning signal OPEN on G2. Positioning signal CLOSED on G1. Reverse acting Positioning signal OPEN on G1. Positioning signal CLOSED on G2. Notes • Do not use connection Yu (0 to 10 Vdc) and Yi (DC 4 to 20 mA). • Positioning times can be selected: see Positioning times. • Valve characteristic curves "lin" or "log" cannot be selected with 3-position control. • Position feedback U is activated after initialization/calibration. Electronic motor shutdown is triggered in the end positions (valve stop or upon reaching maximum stroke) or by overload (no end switch). Modulating control signals Yu (0 to 10 Vdc) and Yi (DC 4 to 20 mA) The pressure independent control valve can be driven to any position by connecting a continuous positioning signal Yu or Yi. The acting direction can be determined (direct/reverse acting) by connecting the operating voltage to G1 or G2: Direct acting Operating voltage AC/DC 24V on G1: • Positioning signal to Yu, Yi increasing: Actuator stem retracts, valve opens. • Positioning signal to Yu, Yi decreasing: Actuator stem extends, valve closes. • Positioning signal to Yu, Yi continuous: Actuator stem remains in the respective position. Reverse acting Operating voltage AC/DC 24V on G2: • Positioning signal to Yu, Yi increasing: Actuator stem extends, valve closes. • Positioning signal to Yu, Yi decreasing: Actuator stem retracts, valve opens. • Positioning signal to Yu, Yi continuous: Actuator stem remains in the respective position. Acting Direction Position Signal Operating Voltage Actuator Stem Pressure Independent Control Valve Direct Acting Yu, Yi increasing G1 to AC/DC 24V Retracts Opens Reverse Acting Yu, Yi increasing G2 to AC/DC 24V Extends Closes SQV Series Electromotive Valve Actuators Technical Instructions Document Number 155-521 June 16, 2015 Siemens Industry, Inc. Page 5 Notes • The input with the higher value has priority when a positioning signal is available at both Yu and Yi. • The actuator travels to the applicable end position depending on the selected acting direction if Yu or Yi are interrupted : Operating voltage to G1 Actuator stem extends. Operating voltage to G2 Actuator stem retracts. • Positioning times can be selected, see Positioning times . • Valve characteristic curves "lin" or "log" can be selected with modulating control. • Position feedback U is activated after initialization/calibration. • Up to five actuators can be controlled in parallel with one controller. Position feedback U Position feedback U (0 to 10 Vdc) is always proportional to stroke H for the actuator. 1) Factory setting Fail-safe function The actuator travels to the applicable end position (the stem retracts or extends depending on the model) using the preloaded spring if operating voltage to terminal G is lost or shut down. In this case, the actuator's control function is locked for 45 seconds (both LEDs are green) to reach the end position at any rate. There is no recalibration. The reset positioning speed ensures that no pressure surges occur in the piping. End position: SQV91P30U Actuator stem retracted Valve opened (V = 100%) SQV91P40U Actuator stem extended Valve closed (V = 0%) Technical Instructions SQV Series Electromotive Valve Actuators Document Number 155-521 June 16, 2015 Page 6 Siemens Industry, Inc. Recalibration Recalibration can be manually triggered any time: 1. Supply operating voltage. 2. Engage and disengage the manual adjuster twice within 4 seconds. Both LEDs flash green. Both LEDs are steady green (indicates that recalibration was successful) 3. Normal control function resumes. NOTES: • Position feedback U is inactive or corresponds to value "0". • The shortest possible runtime is initialized. • Recalibration is valid only after the entire process is completed. • Additional engaging of the manual adjuster interrupts the process. Blockage detection The valve actuator indicates detected blockage by setting the feedback signal to 0V after approximately 90 seconds. The actuator, however, tries to overcome the blockage during this period. Normal control function is reactivated if the blockage is overcome and position feedback U is once again available. Response at end positions Blockage detection is always operational. In other words, the actuator demonstrates the following response at end positions H 100 and H 0 not only during initialization and calibration, but also during normal control operation: 1. The actuator travels to the end position; the LED is lit in the direction of travel. 2. It detects the end position; both LEDs are lit green. 3. It briefly travels in the opposite direction; the LED is lit in the direction of travel. 4. It returns to the end position; LED is lit in the direction of travel 5. It detects the end position; both LEDs are lit green. This response is repeated with time intervals between travels increasing exponentially. The intervals are: 25 seconds 1 min 40 seconds 6 min 40 seconds 26 min 1 h 46 min 40 seconds 7 h 6 min 40 seconds 1 day 4 h 26 min 40 seconds for the previous interval.

SQV Series Electromotive Valve Actuators Technical Instructions Document Number 155-521 June 16, 2015 Siemens Industry, Inc. Page 9 Notes Engineering • Install electrical connections in accordance with local regulations on electric installations as well as internal or connecting diagrams. See Connection Diagrams. • Observe safety regulations and restrictions designed to ensure the safety of people and property at all times. • An internal controller controls the actuator for 3-position or DC 4 to 20 mA positioning signal connection types. See Connection Diagrams. • For 0 to 10 Vdc connections (input impedance R i = 100 kΩ), up to 5 actuators can be controlled in parallel by a controller with a rating of 1 mA. • Do not insulate the actuator console and valve stem, as air circulation must be ensured. • For admissable temperatures, see Specifications. CAUTION: Non-observance of the above may result in accidents and fires. WARNING: Do not touch hot parts without taking proper protective measures to avoid burns. Installation Notes Figure 3. Acceptable Mounting Positions. CAUTION: Be sure to use the anti-rotation device supplied with the actuator to prevent valve maximum gpm from being accidentally changed if the actuator is rotated on the valve. Commissioning Notes • Check the wiring and carry out a functional check as part of commissioning. • Make or check the settings as per the plant diagram for auxiliary switches and potentiometers. Maintenance Notes These actuators are maintenance-free. Regularly check actuators with safety functions. When servicing the actuator: 1. Switch off pump and power supply. 2. Close the main shutoff valve in the pipework. 3. Release pressure in the pipes and allow them to cool down completely. 4. If necessary, disconnect electrical connections from the terminals. 5. The actuator must be correctly fitted to the valve before recommissioning. 6. Trigger stroke calibration after servicing. Next >
