Product Line Field Devices Environment Satchwell 3-Port Plug and Seat Flanged Valve Body MZF MZF3729 MZF3779 MZF3854 MZF3904 MZF3958 Cause Obsolescence of Satchwell MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body Resolution A number of alternative Schneider Electric 3-Port Flanged Valve Bodies are available to replace existing Satchwell MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Bodies. Suggestion 1 Replace Satchwell MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body with S-E VG311F 3-Port Flanged Valve Body of appropriate size N.B. Existing Satchwell Actuator installed on MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body may be retained for installation on replacement Schneider Electric 3-Port Flanged Valve Body. In such instances a Schneider Electric L9TVG Linkage Kit will additionally be required. Alternatively an Actuator from the Schneider Electric range of Actuators may be installed on the VG311F 3-Port Flanged Valve Body, in which case no additional Linkage Kit will be required. Suggestion 2 Replace Satchwell MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body with S-E V321 3-Port Flanged Valve Body of appropriate size N.B. Existing Satchwell Actuator installed on MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body may be retained for installation on replacement Schneider Electric 3-Port Flanged Valve Body. In such instances a Schneider Electric L8TV Linkage Kit will additionally be required. Alternatively an Actuator from the Schneider Electric range of Actuators may be installed on the V321 3-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 Schneider Electric VG311F and V321 3-Port Flanged Valve Bodies differ to that of the Satchwell MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body Similarly, the centre line to bottom of third port dimensions both of the Schneider Electric VG311F and V321 3-Port Flanged Valve Bodies differ to that of the Satchwell MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body As a result alterations to the pipework connected to the MZF 3-Port Flanged Valve Body will be required.

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.
