A grey electrical cable extends from the side. The top surface displays wiring diagrams and product specifications, including "Johnson Controls", "VA-7450-10011" (note: this is a similar model number visible in the image, the product is VA-7480-0312), "24 V, 50/60 Hz, 2.7 VA, CLASS 2", and operating temperature range.
4. Opsætning og installation
Proper installation is crucial for the optimal performance of the VA-7480-0312 actuator. Follow these steps carefully:
- Forbered ventilen: Ensure the valve body is securely piped into the system and is free from debris.
- Monter aktuatoren: Align the actuator's threaded base with the valve's connection point. Screw the actuator onto the valve body until it is hand-tight, then use an appropriate tool to secure it firmly, but do not overtighten. The design allows for mounting after the valve is piped.
- Elektriske forbindelser:
- Refer to the wiring diagram on the actuator's label (e.g., "RED - ON", "BLUE - COM", "WHITE - UP", "YELLOW - DOWN" for floating control, or "ON/OFF CONTROL" as indicated).
- Connect the 24 Vac power supply to the designated terminals. Ensure the power supply matches the actuator's requirements (24 V, 50/60 Hz, 2.7 VA).
- For floating control, connect the control signals (e.g., Up/Down) as per your system's requirements.
- Kontroller, at alle forbindelser er sikre og isolerede.
- Tænd og test: Restore power to the system. The auto-commissioning feature will simplify initial setup. Observe the actuator's movement to ensure it responds correctly to control signals.
Note: No official product videos are available for this model.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
The VA-7480-0312 actuator operates based on the control signals received from your HVAC system's controller. It provides either floating or proportional control, depending on the specific model variant and wiring configuration.
- Flydende kontrol: In floating control applications, the actuator moves the valve to an open or closed position based on sustained control signals (e.g., "Up" or "Down"). Once the desired position is reached, the signal is removed, and the actuator holds its position.
- Proportional kontrol: For proportional control, the actuator modulates the valve position continuously in response to an analog control signal (e.g., 0-10VDC or 4-20mA). This allows for precise flow regulation.
- Auto-sluk: The integrated auto-shutoff feature protects the motor by stopping it once the end-of-travel is reached, preventing excessive wear and extending the actuator's lifespan.
Ensure your HVAC controller is properly configured to send the correct signals to the actuator for desired valve operation.
6. Vedligeholdelse
The Johnson Controls VA-7480-0312 actuator is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure long-term reliability:
- Visuel inspektion: Periodically inspect the actuator and its connections for any signs of physical damage, loose wiring, or corrosion.
- Renhed: Keep the actuator free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Driftstjek: Occasionally verify that the actuator moves smoothly through its full range of motion and responds correctly to control signals.
- Ingen smøring nødvendig: The actuator is factory-lubricated and does not require additional lubrication.

7. Fejlfinding
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your VA-7480-0312 actuator.
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Actuator does not move. | No power supply; incorrect wiring; faulty control signal; actuator motor failure. | Kontroller strømtilslutninger og volumentage (24 Vac). Verify wiring against the diagram. Test control signals from the controller. If all checks fail, the actuator may need replacement. |
| Actuator moves erratically or not to full travel. | Obstruction in valve; incorrect control signal; mechanical binding. | Inspect the valve for obstructions. Verify the stability and correctness of the control signal. Check for proper mounting and alignment. |
| Actuator makes unusual noises. | Internal mechanical issue; excessive load. | Disconnect power and inspect for any visible damage. Ensure the valve operates smoothly manually (if applicable). If noise persists, contact technical support. |
For issues not covered here, please contact Johnson Controls technical support.
