IMPORTANT: Use this VA2202 Series actuator
only as an operating control. Where failure or
malfunction of the VA2202 actuator could lead to
personal injury or property damage to the controlled
equipment or other property, additional precautions
must be designed into the control system.
Incorporate and maintain other devices such as the
supervisory or alarm systems or safety or limit
controls intended to warn of, or protect against,
failure or malfunction of the VA2202 actuator.
For CW spring return operation (see Figure 2 and
Table 3), mount the actuator so the CW face of the
actuator (gray side) is away from the valve as
illustrated in Figure 2. The actuator drives CCW and
spring returns CW.

valves.
Floating Control
VA2202-AGx-2 Series of actuators operate on 24 VAC
at 50/60 Hz. A switch on the actuator sets the direction
of travel. The actuator can be mounted to spring return
either clockwise or counterclockwise. See Table 3.
VA2202-xxx-2 Series Electric Spring Return Valve Actuators Product Bulletin
VA2202-AGx actuators have a rotation direction switch
on the cover as shown in Table 4. Switch position

Proportional Control
VA2202-GGx-2 Series of actuators operate on 24 VAC
at 50/60 Hz or 24 VDC. The actuator can be wired to
response to either a 2 to 10 VDC or 4 to 20 mA control
signal with a field supplied 500 ohm resistor and
position the valve in response to a control signal. The
actuator can be mounted to spring return either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
