Issue TAC EM 5 Actuator requires replacement. Product Line Field Devices Environment EM 5 EM5C EM5 Actuator Cause TAC EM 5 Actuator requires replacement Resolution The TAC EM5 Actuator is totally obsolete and no direct replacement is currently available. Details of the TAC EM5 Actuator can be found in EM5 OBSOLETE.tmp.pdf. The TAC EM5 Actuator was capable of use in control systems having alternative electrical wiring connections.   Alternative 1 Actuator electrical connections comprising 24 Vac power supply and 2-10 Vdc / 4-20 mA DC positioning signal. In instances where the positioning signal is 2-10 Vdc, the TAC EM5 Actuator may be replaced by the S-E MD10A-24. Details of the S-E MD10A-24 Actuator may be viewed in MD10A S-E.pdf. N.B. The S-E MD10A-24 should be checked for electrical compatibility with other control system devices that it is to be integrated with. It is unlikely that it will be mechanically compatible with the other control system devices such as the Control Valve Body. Arrangements may therefore need to be made for the design and manufacture of a suitable Linkage Kit.   Alternative 2 Actuator electrical connections comprising 24 Vac power supply and 2-10 Vdc / 4-20 mA positioning signal with 16 Vdc output. In instances where the positioning signal is 2-10 Vdc, the TAC EM5 Actuator may be replaced by the S-E MD10A-24. It should be noted however that no 16 Vdc output is available from the S-E MD10A-24 and none can be connected. A 16 Vdc power supply should therefore be installed to provide power to any external Controllers or Auxiliary Units.

Issue RM / XRM series Light Duty Rotary Actuator installed on MB Valve Body requires removal / replacement. Environment RM          RM3601 XRM        XRM3201 Light Duty Rotary Actuator MB Valve Body Cause RM / XRM series Light Duty Rotary Actuator installed on MB Valve Body requires removal / replacement. Resolution RM / XRM series Light Duty Actuator removal / replacement may be achieved as follows :- Removal :- 1.    Beware!        RM Actuator is connected to a Mains Voltage power supply.        XRM Actuator is connected to a 24 Volt power supply. 2.    Isolate Actuator power supply. 3.    Locate Terminal Chamber - This may be found on top of the Actuator. 4.    Remove Terminal Chamber Cover. 5.    Locate Locking Plate Tab – This may be found inside the Terminal Chamber on the face nearest the Window housing the 0-10 Position Indicator Wheel. 6.    Pull Locking Plate Tab up to disengage the Actuator from the Valve Body. 7.    Separate Tongue of Actuator from Groove in Valve Body Spindle. 8.    Actuator may now be removed by joggling Keyhole Slots in Actuator Base plate over Allen Bolts protruding from MB Valve Body. N.B. It is not necessary to remove the Allen Bolts from the MB Valve Body in order to remove the Actuator. Replacement :- 1.    Joggle Keyhole Slots in Actuator Base plate over Allen Bolts protruding from MB Valve Body. 2.    Insert Tongue of Actuator in Groove of Valve Body Spindle 3.    Push Locking Plate Tab down to lock the Actuator to the Valve Body 4.    Replace Terminal Chamber Cover securely. 5.    Restore power supply.

Suggestion 1 Replace Satchwell VZF 2-Port Flanged Valve Body with S-E VG221F 2-Port Flanged Valve Body of appropriate size N.B. Existing Satchwell Actuator installed on VZF 2-Port Flanged Valve Body may be retained for installation on replacement S-E 2-Port Flanged Valve Body.  In such instances a S-E L9TVG Linkage Kit will additionally be required.  Alternatively an Actuator from the S-E range of Actuators may be installed on the VG221F 2-Port Flanged Valve Body, in which case no additional Linkage Kit will be required. Suggestion 2 Replace Satchwell VZF 2-Port Flanged Valve Body with S-E V222 2-Port Flanged Valve Body of appropriate size N.B. Existing Satchwell Actuator installed on VZF 2-Port Flanged Valve Body may be retained for installation on replacement S-E 2-Port Flanged Valve Body.  In such instances a S-E L8TV Linkage Kit will additionally be required.  Alternatively an Actuator from the S-E range of Actuators may be installed on the V222 2-Port Flanged Valve Body, in which case no additional Linkage Kit will be required. IMPORTANT NOTE It should also be noted that the face to face dimensions both of the S-E VG221F and V222 2-Port Flanged Valve Bodies differ to that of the Satchwell VZF 2-port Flanged Valve Body  Similarly, the centre line to bottom of third port dimensions both of the S-E VG221F and V222 2-Port Flanged Valve Bodies differ to that of the Satchwell VZF 2port Flanged Valve Body  As a result alterations to the pipework connected to the VZF 2-port Flanged Valve Body will be required.

Issue Reconditioning  a Satchwell MB/MBX valve using the 617-9-4xx kit. Environment Satchwell MB MBX Reconditioning Valve Cause Drawings of the valve internal assembly were not available. Resolution The reconditioning of an MB / MBX value is not easily undertaken, and it is recommended that the valve is removed from the pipework to carry out this process. If removal from the pipework is not possible, then it is essential that the system water is completely isolated from the valve, and that any remaining water in the valve is drained away. Please note; that if the valve is not isolated correctly, then when the valve front is removed, it will be virtually impossible to reassemble it, and should the water be hot, then serious injury might occur. To refer to the valve internal assembly, please click HERE. It should be noted that the illustration relates to those MB Valve Bodies having 2 shoes (1.1/2”&2” only), the smaller valves only have one shoe.
