Issue
Satchwell ALE series Linear Actuator requires replacement.
Product Line
Field Devices
Environment
- Satchwell ALE series Linear Actuator installed on Satchwell MJF, MZ, MZF, VJF, VSF, VZ or VZF series Plug and Seat Valve Body.
- Actuator type :- ALE series.
Cause
Obsolescence of Satchwell ALE series Linear Actuator.
Resolution
Replace Satchwell ALE series Linear Actuator with Schneider Electric M800 Linear Actuator and Linkage Kit :-
Linkage kit to mount a M800 actuator to a Satchwell valve (MZ,MZF, VZ, VZF, VSF and MJF) = L2SV
Replace ALE Actuator with M800 + L2SV combined part number 880-0650-000
Replace ALE with Auxilary Switch kit with M800-S2 + L2SV combined part number 880-0651-000
Just linkage kit = 880-0124-000
Just M800 = 880-0310-030
N.B.
Should the Satchwell ALE series Actuator include a wired Auxiliary Switch then the following Accessory should also be installed on the S-E M800 Actuator as appropriate :-
S2 - Two independent 24 volt 4amp AC-1 rated SPDT Auxiliary End Point Switches. (880-0104-000)
Particular care should be taken when selecting an Schneider Electric Forta M800 Actuator to replace an existing Satchwell ALE series Actuator.
The Schneider Electric Forta M800 Actuator may be used to replace an existing Satchwell ALE series Actuator but it should be noted that where an existing Satchwell ALE series Actuator has been connected directly to a Satchwell Controller, an independent Transformer rated to provide the greater level of power required by a single Schneider Electric Forta M800 Actuator (50VA) will also be required. (e.g. Schneider Electric Transformer Type TR60)
Where an existing Satchwell ALE series Actuator has been connected via an independent Transformer, it is possible that the Transformer may have been rated to provide the level of power required by a single ALE series Actuator (9.5VA) only.
In such circumstances the existing independent Transformer may also require replacement by another independent Transformer, rated to provide the greater level of power required by a single Schneider Electric Forta M800 Actuator (50VA) (e.g. Schneider Electric Transformer Type TR60)
