GENERAL INSTALLATION 

INFORMATION

3.1 

Description of Control Board P/N 

VC002975 for Modulating Applications

The Control Board connects to the Motor Board with a 10 

position plug-in connector and 3 mounting screws that 

are captured in the board. The Control Board allows the 

actuator to modulate (change position) in response to a 

change in an analog control signal. The input control signal 

may be either current, such as 4-20 mA, or voltage such 

as 0-10 VDC, or 2-10 VDC. The control board also features 

analog position feedback, signal fail options, speed control, 

locked rotor/stall protection, simple push button set-up, 

and auto calibration.

WARNING

DANGEROUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT INSIDE THE ACTUATOR 
COVER UNLESS THE POWER SUPPLY TO THE ACTUATOR HAS BEEN 
SHUT OFF OR DISCONNECTED. USE EXTREME CAUTION WHENEVER 
WORKING ON THE ACTUATOR WITH THE COVER REMOVED.

3.2 

Operating Modes

The Control Board has five operating modes. Run, Manual, 

Set Span, Set Zero and CAL (calibrate). A rotary “Mode 

Selector Dial” on the Control Board allows the user to 

change the operating mode. To change mode, turn the 

rotary selector knob with fingers or a small screwdriver. 

Five LED indicators around the knob correspond to one of 

the five modes. When the Control Board mode dial is set to 

any mode, the corresponding LED turns on, indicating the 

mode is selected. 

• 

Run mode is the basic operating mode. The actuator will 

respond to a command control signal which is supplied 

to terminal A and terminal B on the Control Board.

• 

Manual mode permits the user to override the control 

signal and drive the actuator by using the [CW] and 

[CCW] push buttons. In Manual mode the actuator will 

not travel beyond the saved settings for the Zero and 

Span stop positions.

• 

Set Span mode permits the user to precisely 

correlatethe end of span travel stop with a 

corresponding control signal value. Typically, the Span 

position is the fully counter-clockwise position and 

maximum control signal value, but Span may be set at 

any position or signal value.

• 

Set Zero mode permits the user to precisely correlate 

the opposite end of travel stop position with a 

corresponding control signal value. The Zero position 

is typically the fully clockwise position and minimum 

control signal value, but Zero may be set at any position 

or signal value.

• 

Cal mode allows the user to automatically calibrate the 

position tracking potentiometer without the use of an 

ohmmeter or other electronic instruments.

3.2.1  Features, Settings and Controls

The control board is designed to be easy to use and hard to 

break. Set Up is push button simple and takes one minute! 

See (Figure 2) for callouts.

• 

Enter is located directly below the mode selector 

and permits the user to activate modes and confirm 

settings by pressing the [ENTER] button.

• 

Control Signal Selection The board can accept either 

current or voltage control signals. Make sure the Input 

Signal Select switch is correctly positioned for the 

input control signal.

• 

Feedback Signal Selection The board provides a 

feedback signal indicating actuator output position. 

This signal can be either current or voltage. Make 

sure the Feedback Signal Select switch is correctly 

positioned for the desired feedback signal. If the 

feedback signal is not used, the switch may be left in 

either position.

• 

Control Fail Position In the event that the control 

signal to the actuator is lost and power is still applied, 

the Signal Fail Position Selector Switch on the Control 

Board provides for the actuator to remain at its 

LAST (current) position or drive the actuator to the 

“ZERO” position. The actuator will maintain the LAST 

position or Zero position until a control signal returns

to terminal A and terminal B. NOTE: If you use a 0-10 

VDC control signal, the actuator will drive to the zero 

position regardless of the switch setting.

• 

Manual Supervisory Control Selecting Manual (Man)

Mode will override the connected control signal and 

allow driving the actuator to any position between 

Zero and Span, using the CW and CCW push buttons. 

There is no need to disconnect or handle live wires.

• 

Deadband Deadband is the window of control signal 

change which the actuator will ignore. The sensitivity 

of the actuator to respond to changes in the control 

signal is adjustable. Minimum deadband allows the 

actuator to respond to small control signal changes. 

Maximum deadband allows the actuator to ignore 

small control signal changes (such as noise on the 

control signal). Deadband adjustment from Minimum 

to Maximum varies the dead band from small (1%) to 

large (3%) of input signal. The deadband should be set 

to the maximum amount which the process will allow.

• 

Speed Control The Control Board will slow the actuator 

by pulsing the motor if the Speed Control feature is 

utilized. The speed of the actuator can be regulated 

from 1:1 (normal) to 20:1 (1/20th of the normal cycle 

time) by adjusting the “Speed Control” dial on the 

Control Board.

• 

 Stall (Locked Rotor Protection) Locked rotor 

protection prevents the overheating of the motor and 

possible premature failure. The Control Board provides 

locked rotor protection and Stall LED Alarm in the event 

of a stall condition such as a jammed valve or damper. 

Should the actuator stall before reaching the position 

commanded by the control signal, the actuator will 

remove power to the motor within 2-5 seconds. The 

Stall LED on the Control Board will continue to flash 

until a reverse control signal clears the stall condition. 

NOTE: If the process does not allow for controller 

signal reversal; the stall can be cleared by selecting 

MAN mode and driving the actuator manually using 

the CW or CCW push buttons. Be sure to select RUN 

before replacing cover.

3.3 

Control Board Wiring

NOTE: Assumes option is installed; if installing kit, see 

section 3.5 of this manual.

To operate the actuator with the Control Board installed, the 

user must supply power to terminal 1 and terminal 2, only! 

Power to terminal 3 and terminal 4 can cause damage to 

the Motor Board. See (Figure 3) for Diagram. Control signal 

wiring to the Control Board terminals should be properly 

shielded. To further prevent control signal noise, control 

signal wiring should be separated from the power wiring 

and should enter the actuator through a conduit opening 

separate from the entry used for the power wiring.

WARNING

ACTUATORS SHOULD BE PROPERLY GROUNDED AND WIRED IN 
ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODE; SEE NAMEPLATE 
FOR MAXIMUM CURRENT DRAW.

Terminal 5, counter-clockwise, and terminal 6, clockwise, 

position indication does not apply to actuators with the 

Control Board option. If status feedback is required with the 

Control Board option, install optional limit switches or use 

the standard readback feature provided with the Control 

Board. See (Section 4) for additional switches.

3.4 

Operation for Modulating Applications 

(Motor Board and Control Board 

Installed) (90˚ Rotation)*

WARNING

WHEN CONTROL BOARD IS INSTALLED, POWER TO TERMINAL 3 
OR TO TERMINAL 4 WILL DAMAGE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARDS. 
POWER TERMINALS 1 AND 2; USE [CW] CLOCKWISE AND [CCW] 
COUNTERCLOCKWISE BUTTONS TO DRIVE ACTUATOR.

3.4.1  Set Up for Operation

1.  Remove actuator cover.

2.  Select Input Control Signal type – “mA” or “VDC” 

(current or voltage), the actuator will accept 4-20 mA 

or 0-10 VDC. The unit will also accept a split range 

signal, i.e. 4-12 mA, 12-20 mA or a 2-10 VDC signal. 

Slide the [INPUT SIGNAL] switch up to select mA or 

down to select VDC.

3.  Select Output Feedback Signal type – “mA” or “VDC” 

(current or voltage), the actuator will provide a 4-20 

mA or 0-10 VDC feedback signal. Slide the [FEEDBACK 

SIGNAL] switch up to select mA or down to select VDC.

4.  Select Signal Fail Position – “Zero” or “Last” – Slide the 

[SIGNAL FAIL] to the right to select Zero or to the left 

to select Last. Selecting Zero will drive the actuator 

to the minimum signal position upon loss of control 

signal. If Last is selected the actuator will remain in 

place upon loss of control signal. If using 0 VDC as 

the minimum signal, the actuator cannot differentiate 

between a commanded minimum signal or a loss of 

signal; therefore, Zero should be selected.

3.4.2  Potentiometer Calibration

• 

Calibration Field installation of the Control Board 

option or replacement of the position tracking 

potentiometer requires calibration of the position 

tracking potentiometer prior to setting positions 

and values for Zero and Span. Control Board options 

installed at the factory are fully calibrated at the factory 

and should not require further calibration. To confirm 

proper potentiometer calibration:

  

  IMO 11/17

  

IMO-I2500 EN

background image

1.  Turn the Mode Selector Dial to [CAL] and press [ENTER] 

for 2 seconds. ([CAL] LED may begin to flash)

2.  Using the CW pushbutton, drive the actuator to the full 

clockwise position. (as viewed from above)

• 

If the [CAL] LED is flashing, potentiometer 

calibration is required; proceed to step 3 below.

• 

If the [CAL] LED remains on, calibration is not 

required; proceed to Setting Zero and Span 

Positions section below.

3.  Loosen the set screw in the larger plastic gear with a 

1/16” hex wrench.

4.  Rotate the gear until the LED remains on constantly; 

hold the gear in place and tighten the set screw. Ensure 

that the LED remains on after the set screw is tightened. 

Note: The LED assists the user in locating the proper 

calibration window; it will flash faster as you approach 

the calibration window and slower as you move away 

from it.

5.  Press the [ENTER] button to save the potentiometer 

setting.

3.4.3  Setting ZERO and SPAN positions

• 

Setting Zero and Span Positions Once potentiometer 

calibration has been confirmed, set the desired end of 

travel positions. Make certain that the limit switch cams 

are set beyond the desired range for the Zero and Span 

positions.

Zero and Span may be set at any position between 0 

degrees and 94 degrees of travel. Zero or Span may 

be either clockwise or counter-clockwise and may be 

set to either a high value or low value control signal.

Voltage

115 VAC or 230 VAC. V-Series actuators are rated for full 

torque at +/- 10% of the nominal voltage at 60 Hz.  Note:  

operation at 50 Hz will proportionally decrease the duty 

cycle and increase the cycle time. V-Series actuators are rated 

for a minimum of 75%* duty cycle at 60 Hz at 104˚F (40˚C).  
* 55% duy cycle for 3000 lb•in actuators.

GENERAL OPERATING INFORMATION

For enclosure specifications and dimensions, see (Tables 

1-2 and Figure 8).

5.1 

Enclosure Ratings and Product 

Certifications

Metso offers two versions of V-Series actuator enclosures: 

the “W” enclosure is weathertight, and the “WX” enclosure 

which is weathertight and explosion-proof.

5.2 

Wiring

WARNING

VALVCON

 AC VOLTAGE ACTUATORS USE REVERSING INDUCTION 

MOTORS WHICH CAUSE HIGH VOLTAGES. DEVICES CONNECTED 

TO TERMINAL 3 AND TO TERMINAL 4 MUST BE RATED FOR 

MINIMUM 250 VAC (440 VAC FOR 230 VAC APPLICATIONS). 
CONTROLLERS WITH SOLID STATE OUTPUTS MUST BE RATED 

FOR MORE THAN 250 VAC. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT 

RELAY OUTPUTS BE USED ON CONNECTED DEVICES. DUE TO THE 

INDUCTION FEEDBACK VOLTAGE, MULTIPLE ACTUATORS CAN NOT 

BE WIRED IN PARALLEL. SEPARATE (ISOLATED CONTACTS) MUST BE 

PROVIDED FOR EACH ACTUATOR. IF THE ACTUATOR IS DRIVEN BY 

CONTACTS ON A PC OR PLC, MAKE SURE THE CONTACTS HAVE THE 

PROPER RATINGS.

5.3 

Duty Cycle and Motor Protection

V-Series actuators can operate continuously for up to 15 

minutes at 104˚F (40˚C). After 15 minutes of continuous 

operation they are rated for 75% duty cycle operation at 

104˚F and for 30 starts per minute. Duty cycles decrease at 

temperatures in excess of 104˚F. Duty cycle is the maximum 

proportion of “on” time and the minimum required “off” time 

to prevent thermal overloading. Actuators with cycle times 

of 30 seconds must rest at least 10 seconds between cycles. 

Higher temperature applications decrease duty cycle.

AC motors contain thermal overload protection. Exceeding 

the rated duty cycle may cause the thermal overload switch 

to temporarily remove power to the motor and cause it to 

stall. After the motor cools, the actuator will resume normal 

operation. The thermal protector is a safety device, designed 

for infrequent use. Constant tripping of the thermal overload 

protector may cause premature motor failure.

5.4 

Operating Temperature Limits

V-Series actuators are designed to operate in ambient 

environments between -40˚F (-40˚C) and 150˚F (65˚C). In 

outdoor applications where ambient temperatures exceed 

80˚F, actuators should be shielded from direct sunlight. 

In applications with high media temperatures, insulating 

blankets, heat shields and/or extended mounting shafts 

should be used to maintain ambient temperatures at the 

actuator within normal operating limits.

Heaters and thermostats are recommended for all outdoor 

applications and may also be used to dry condensation in 

high humidity environments.

5.5 

Actuator Mounting

The actuator may be mounted in any position including 

upside-down. It must be firmly secured to a direct mount 

flange or sturdy mounting bracket. A minimum of four bolts 

with lock washers should be used to secure the actuator to 

the bracket. Flexibility in the bracket is not allowed, and 

backlash, or “play”, in the coupling should be minimized. The 

actuator output shaft must be in line (centered) with the valve 

shaft to avoid side-loading the shaft. See (Figure 8) for output 

drive dimensions and mounting hardware specifications.

WARNING

FAILURE TO USE MANUAL OVERRIDE PROPERLY COULD RESULT 

IN DAMAGE TO THE ACTUATOR GEARING. ENSURE THAT THE 

OVERRIDE IS FULLY DISENGAGED AND DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE 

FORCE WHEN MANUALLY POSITIONING ACTUATOR. DO NOT DRIVE 

THE ACTUATOR BEYOND THE TRAVEL LIMIT SETTINGS. FAILURE TO 

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE 

ACTUATOR AND/OR FINAL DRIVE ELEMENT.

5.6 

Manual Override

To use the manual override, push the override shaft down 

approximately 1/4 inch to disengage the motor from the 

gear train. Failure to disengage motor prior to turning 

override will cause damage to the actuator. While holding 

the shaft down, turn the shaft with a wrench or handle to 

the desired position. NOTE: The override shaft on actuators 

below 1000 lb•in must be rotated in the opposite direction 

of the desired direction of the output shaft. In actuators 

1000 lb•in and above, the override and the output shaft 

turn in the same direction. 

Do not drive the actuator beyond the limit switch settings; 

it is possible to damage installed options such as a feedback 

potentiometer. The manual override shaft must be returned 

to its fully upward position before the motor is re-engaged. 

Rotate the shaft slightly to align the spur gears until the 

shaft “springs” back to its re-engaged position. NOTE: The 

rotation direction of the output may not be the same as the 

rotation of the override shaft!

5.7 

Lubrication

All rotating power train components are permanently 

lubricated with multi-purpose Lithium grease suitable for 

the operating temperature range of the actuator. Additional 

lubrication is not required in normal operation.

5.8 

Problem Prevention

Most actuator problems result from improper installation.
• 

Incorrect Wiring and Set Up  Make certain the actuator 

is wired correctly and travel stops are properly set 

before power is applied. 

• 

Coupling, Alignment, and Mounting  Do not add extra 

torque! Make certain that the mounting arrangement 

is sturdy, centered, properly aligned, and that all 

mounting hardware is secure and properly tightened. 

• 

Moisture Replace the cover tightly and make certain 

conduit entry holes are sealed properly to prevent 

moisture infiltration. 

5.9 

Warranty

All V-Series actuators are backed by a 2-year warranty that 

covers materials and workmanship. The warranty expires 

24 months from installation or 30 months from delivery; 

whichever comes first.

To request a Return Authorization for an actuator within the 

warranty period, please consult your local Metso distributor.

5.10  Repair Service/Spare Parts
