Satchwell RM series Rotary Actuator does not open or close Satchwell MB series Rotary Shoe Valve Body due to incorrect wiring connections.

Issue Satchwell RM series Rotary Actuator does not open or close Satchwell MB series Rotary Shoe Valve Body due to incorrect wiring connections. Environment Satchwell RM series Rotary Actuator installed on Satchwell MB series 3-port Rotary Shoe Valve Body. Cause Satchwell RM series Rotary Actuator incorrect wiring connections. Resolution 1.  Check Satchwell RM series Actuator wiring connections. Wiring connections should comply with the following :- Actuator Terminal 1 = Live to OPEN Actuator Terminal 2 = Live to CLOSE Actuator Terminal 3 = Neutral N.B. The Satchwell RM series Actuator must be connected to a controlling switching device such as a Thermostat, Switch, Relay or Programmer providing CHANGEOVER CONTACT switched outputs rated at mains voltage.  2.  Ensure no other electrical device is connected between controlling switching device and Satchwell RM series Actuator. N.B. In such circumstances back feeds can cause the Satchwell RM series Actuator to stall which in turn may result in the electric motor within the Actuator burning out. 3.  Rewire Satchwell RM series Actuator as necessary and observe direction of operation is relative to control signal applied. 4.  Transfer Switches installed within the Satchwell RM series Actuator enable a Pump or Boiler etc. to be switched via the Actuator. Terminal 1 signal transfers to Terminal 1T when Satchwell RM series Actuator is fully OPEN Terminal 2 signal transfers to Terminal 2T when Satchwell RM series Actuator is fully CLOSED    Please check the latest catalog for current equipment.

Satchwell MB series 3-port Rotary Shoe Valve Body conversion for use as a 2-port Zone Valve.

Issue Satchwell MB series 3-port Rotary Shoe Valve Body conversion for use as a 2-port Zone Valve. Environment HVAC heating and cooling installations requiring a 2-port Zone Valve having pipework connection size in excess of 3/4" B.S.P. Cause HVAC heating or cooling installations requiring a 2-port Zone Valve Body having a connection sizes in excess of the usual 3/4" B.S.P. HVAC heating or cooling installations requiring a 2-port Valve Body to be installed in place of a 3-port Valve Body originally installed.  Resolution 1  Install plumber's plug in Port 3 of MB series 3-port Rotary Shoe Valve Body. 2. Tighten plumber's plug sufficiently to ensure PN 10 rating of Valve Body is not compromised. IMPORTANT Careful consideration should be given to the use of this conversion method with 3-port Valve Bodies of Plug and Seat construction. Here only "dish nosed" or "hollow ended" plumber's plugs should be installed in Port 3 of the Valve Body. The purpose of this is to prevent fouling of the Plug / Seat assembly within the Valve Body. N.B. In preference a Satchwell VZ 2-port Plug and Seat Valve Body should be replaced by a Satchwell MZ 3-port Plug and Seat Valve Body.

AVUE 5304, AVUE 5354, AVUE 5305 or AVUE 5355 Light Duty Actuator does not respond to changes in control signal.

Issue AVUE 5304, AVUE 5354, AVUE 5305 or AVUE 5355 Light Duty Actuator does not respond to changes in control signal. Environment AVUE 5304 or AVUE 5354 Light Duty Actuator installed on VZX or MZX Valve Body.. AVUE 5305 or AVUE 5355 Light Duty Actuator installed on Satchwell VEU, MEU or FEU Unit Valve Body.. Cause AVUE 5304, AVUE 5354, AVUE 5305 or AVUE 5355 Light Duty Actuator may not respond to changes in control signal due to self stroking / auto stroking procedure failing to occur when originally installed, or due to manual override having been undertaken without subsequent reset procedure having been applied. Resolution 1.  Check that 0v of 0-10v dc control signal and 0v of 24v ac power supply originate from same source. 2.  Undertake Manual Override Reset. The Manual Override Reset Button is located on the underside of the AVUE Actuator. The purpose of the Manual Override Reset Button is to cause the Actuator to self reference. A reset is required only in the following circumstances. A.  If the Manual Override Access screw on the top of the Actuator has been operated when the Actuator is powered up. B.  If it is necessary to re-align the Actuator to a point of self reference during periods of system maintenance. N.B. The AVUE is designed to reset automatically on restoration of power following a power failure.  It should be noted that it will take approximately 85 seconds (AVUE 5305 and AVUE 5355) or 110 seconds (AVUE 5304 and AVUE 5354) for the self reference procedure to be completed.

S-E VZ29 / VZ39 / VZ49 Valve Body produces excessive let by due to S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override set to value other than ZERO.

Issue S-E VZ29 / VZ39 / VZ49 Valve Body produces excessive let-by.   Environment S-E VZ29 2-port Valve Body controlled by S-E MZ20 series Actuator. S-E VZ39 3-port Valve Body controlled by S-E MZ20 series Actuator. S-E VZ49 4-port Valve Body controlled by S-E MZ20 series Actuator. Cause S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override set to value other than ZERO Resolution 1.  Check S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override facility is set to ZERO. 2.  If S-E MZ20 series Actuator Manual Override facility is set to ZERO then investigate Valve Body condition / duty compatibility. Instances of excessive let-by experienced with S-E Valve Bodies from the VZ29 / VZ39 / VZ49 family may result from the setting of the Manual Override facility on the S-E MZ20 series Actuator controlling it, rather than the Valve Body itself. S-E MZ20A and MZ20B Actuators include a Manual Override facility, comprising a screw, accessed through a hole in the top of the Actuator, which may be raised and lowered by means of a 3mm Allen Key inserted through the hole in the top of the Actuator. The Manual Override position is required to be set to ZERO upon manufacture.  If the screw is not set to the ZERO position prior to dispatch however, then this may result in the Valve Spindle being depressed by the amount of Manual Override applied. Where a Valve Body is letting by excessively, then initially the Actuator Manual Override setting should be checked and reset to ZERO if necessary.

Replacement of Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body controlled by Satchwell Spring Return Actuator due to obsolescence.

Issue Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body controlled by Satchwell Spring Return Actuator requires replacement. Environment Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body installed in Water or Steam Control Valve applications. Cause Obsolescence of Satchwell VSF or VJF Control Valve Body. Resolution STEAM APPLICATION 1.  Replace Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body with S-E Two-Port Flanged Valve Body. Where an existing Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body is utilised in a STEAM application, then the VSF or VJF Valve Body should be replaced by a suitably sized S-E VGS211F Valve Body, thus enabling steam having a steam inlet pressure up to 1300 kPa and a temperature up to 200 deg C to be controlled. It should be noted however that the face-to-face dimension and overall dimensions of each S-E Valve Body will differ to those of the Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body. It should also be noted that the operation of the VGS211F Valve Spindle is the reverse of that of the VSF or VJF Valve Spindle. When the VGS211F Valve Spindle is UP, or in the fully extended position, then the Valve is OPEN. Similarly, when the VGS211F Valve Spindle is DOWN, or in the fully retracted position, then the Valve is CLOSED This will therefore result in the need to replace the existing Satchwell Actuator with the correct model of S-E M700 Actuator, in order to ensure the correct operation of the Valve Body in the event of electrical power failure. It is important that the above limitations are recognised when replacing a Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body with a S-E VGS211F Valve Body in retrofit projects. Such limitations do not apply to new projects where a new S-E VGS211F Valve Body and a new S-E  M700 Actuator are being selected, providing of course that an Actuator having the correct spring action in the event of electrical power failure is selected. N.B. Steam Control Valves are normally required to CLOSE in the event of electrical power failure. In the case of the S-E VGS211F therefore the S-E M700 SRSD Actuator should be selected. WATER APPLICATION 1.  Replace Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body with S-E Two-Port Flanged Valve Body. A number of alternative models of S-E Two-Port Flanged Valve Bodies are available to replace existing Satchwell VSF or VJF Two-Port Flanged Valve Bodies. It should be noted however that the face-to-face dimension and overall dimensions of each S-E Valve Body will differ to those of the Satchwell VSF or VJF Valve Body.

Replacement of Satchwell DRT3451 Adjustable Room Temperature Sensor by S-E STR612.

Issue Replacement of Satchwell DRT3451 Adjustable Room Temperature Sensor by S-E STR612. Environment Satchwell DRT3451 Adjustable Room Temperature Sensor installations. Cause Obsolescence of Satchwell DRT3451 Adjustable Room Temperature Sensor Resolution Replace Satchwell DRT3451 Adjustable Room Temperature Sensor with S-E STR612 The STR612 provides the same functionality as the DRT3451 differing only in its appearance, dimensions and terminal identification. Equivalent terminal identification is as follows STR612 Terminal 22 (A) = DRT3451 Terminal A STR612 Terminal 23 (C) = DRT3451 Terminal C Connection of STR612 to CZU Fan Coil Unit Temperature Controller STR612 Terminal 22 (A) – connect to CZU Terminal 9 STR612 Terminal 23 (C) – connect to CZU Terminal 10 (CZU Setpoint should be set to 10 deg C)
