ME4944 0-5Vdc or 5-10Vdcis a normally closed on power failure spring return modulatingmicroprocessor based control valve actuator.This actuator is used on 2, 3 or 4 port terminal unit or zone valves for thecontrol of hot water, chilled water, or 50% glycol using only an EB typebalanced cartridge, and low pressure steam using an EV typecartridge.At power up the actuator performs self test and respan operation and isprogrammed for 4mm travel. The exact valve position can be determined from the 1-5V volts output fromthe green wire, to monitor by others. Upon power failure the motor will be returned to its’ default down or closed position.
General Actuator SpecificationsSupply: 24Vac +10%/-5%, 60Hz/50HzMotor Type: AC hysteresis brushlessNominal Consumption: 6 Watts (9VA)Maximum 4 units per 40 VA transfomer
Ambient operating temperature: 0-50ºC (32-120ºF)Signal input: 0-5Vdc or 5-10Vdc Signal output: 1-5Vdc +/- 0.1 Volts, Impedance 1 Kohms. 0 V represents a loss of power,1 V represents actuator in up position 5V represents actuator in down positionNote: Used for monitoring of valve position
Output force: 28lbs (120N)Motor jam recovery: if an unexpected stall occurs – i.e. in midrange – the system reverses the motor, backs up, and then again attempts to move to the calculated position
Microprocessor: PIC16F1824 - 8-bit PIC MicrocontrollersPosition feedback (internal): Quadrature optical encoder using two LEDS and two photo transistors
Drift: no detectable drift after 100,000 cycles.Re-span automatically at each full close position
Input Protection: inputs will accept 30Vac continuously without damage.Misconnection (mixing) of the connections to unit will not cause damage
Wiring Connection: 32" PVC or optional Plenum cableEnclosure: IP20 (NEMA 1)Agency approval: Conforms to CE/ROHS requirements
Low voltage Class 2 as per UL/CSA standards

Installation InstructionsPower Cube ME-4944 actuators can be installed on all Spartan Zone valve bodies. The commercial type valve bodies allutilise low zinc anti-dezincification bronzecoupled with long life replaceable andinter-changeable internals from 0.15 to 9.0 Cv (0.13 to 7.75 Kv’s) in 0.50 Cv incrementsRefer to Control Valve Bodies and Cartridge Data Sheets
Important: The actuator can beinstalled vertically, or at any angle not exceeding the horizontal. Fig1. Care must also be taken to not installthe actuator with the back facing downor up. Fig 2.
The Actuator mounting thumbnut is to be hand-tightened only, using tools may result in over-tightening.

PROPORTIONAL (ME-4944)Input Signal: 0-5Vdc or 5-10Vdc Input Impedance: 200 KΩ (0.05mA at 10Vdc) Dead Band: 0.15VDelay: two seconds before implementing motor direction changeEnd Update:When the input signal is within ~0.2V of an end value the valve is driven in until stall is detected.Re-span (standard): after each power upThe ME-4944D is factory set to 0-5Vdc, direct acting.If you require alternative control range settings, order the part numbers below,or follow the jumper instructions to change to your required range.
