VE VVG Series Electronic Two-way s Normally Closed Document No. 155-112P25 VE VVG-1 Description The VE VVG electronic two-way valves control the flow of water or glycol solutions. The electronic actuator requires a 24 Vac supply and receives a 0 to 10 Vdc control signal to control the 7/32-inch (5.5 mm) nominal stroke valve. Features Maintenance free actuator with reversible motor. Application Selector plug on actuator permits selection of linear or equal percentage flow characteristics. Reduced seat diameter produces reduced Cv (Kvs) in 1/2-inch valve bodies. 0 to 10 Vdc or 0 to 1000 ohms signal input. Position output signal 0 to 10 Vdc. Available with union or sweat end connections (1/2-inch and 3/4-inch). Double O-ring packing with Teflon wiper. Manual override knob with indication of stroke allows for repositioning of the valve in power-off conditions (SQS65U only). Spring return closes flow port in power-off condition (SQS65.5U only). Use the VE VVG as a control and shutoff valve in small to medium HVAC installations for hot water and chilled water applications. Use in closed circuits only. NOTE: This valve is not designed for steam applications. See valve body specifications for details. Product Numbers and Ordering Information Order the valve and actuator separately. See Table 1 for product information.

Warning/Caution Notations WARNING: CAUTION: Personal injury or loss of life may occur if you do not perform a procedure as specified. Equipment damage may occur if you do not follow procedure as specified. Operation The arrow on the valve indicates the direction of flow. The direction of flow is always from II (A) to I (AB). See Figure 1. CAUTION: Removing the bottom cap will not convert the two-way valve into a three-way valve. Figure 1. VVG Direction of Flow. An electronic motor actuator positions the valve. A continuous 0 to 10 Vdc signal controls the actuator. The valve provides a linear flow characteristic. A selector plug on the SQS actuator allows selection of linear or equal percentage flow characteristic. The valve stroke is proportional to the control signal with linear flow selected. See Figure 4. A zero voltage control signal returns the valve to its "0" position. In the event of a power failure, the SQS65U holds its last position, and the SQS65.5U returns the valve to its fail-safe position. The position output 0 to 10 Vdc signal "U" produces position feedback to the field panel. An additive control input at R for 0 to 1000 ohms allows control by either a low temperature detector or a remote setting unit. Installation The valve assembly can be installed in the supply or return line. NOTE: For hot water installations, it is recommended to place the valve in the return line because the temperature is lower. Match the direction of flow with the symbol cast on the valve body. See Figure 1. Allow 8 inches (200 mm) of clearance for installation and service. Page 4
Installation, Mount the assembly in any position except with the actuator beneath the valve. See Figure 2 for allowable mounting positions. Before installing the actuator, use a protective plastic cap (Figure 1) to manually position the valve. The plastic cap opens up to 80% flow from II (A) to I (AB). The valve cannot be fully opened using the plastic cap. NOTE: Do not discard the plastic cap. It may be needed during troubleshooting or for emergency valve operation. CAUTION: Dirt in the piping system can cause valve problems. Before starting-up and troubleshooting the valve, make certain that the piping system is free of dirt and foreign particles. It is recommended that a filter is placed upstream of the valve. Figure 2. Mounting Positions. Wiring WARNING: On valve actuator wiring code, "G" is 24 Vac HOT, not ground. Figure 3. Terminal Connections in Actuator. G, G0 24 Vac operating voltage G = System potential G0 = System neutral Y 0 to 10 Vdc control signal R M U Input for 0 to 1000 ohms remote setting unit or low temperature detection unit Measuring neutral Output for 0 to 10 Vdc position indication Page 5
Wiring, All units that connect to terminals Y and U, together with the SQS65U, must connect to the same G0. When wiring the position output to AI terminations, connect terminal U to SIG and terminal G0 to COM. The factory-fitted link across terminals R and M can be removed only if a unit connects between these terminals. Start-Up Remove the actuator cover and verify the selector plug is set for the desired flow characteristic. See Figure 4.

Selector Plug Setting for Flow Characteristic. Troubleshooting Check wiring for appropriate connections (Figure 3). Check selector plug for proper flow characteristic. Check valve operation. Thread plastic valve cap (Figure 1) onto top of valve. Turn it to adjust valve position. Figure 5. VVG Construction. Stem Packing Service If either valve or actuator is inoperative, replace that unit. WARNING: To avoid personal injury, do not attempt to repair the valve. Page 6
