Description
Overview
The Schneider Electric (Erie) AP13A000 is a high-performance proportional valve actuator engineered for precise flow control in commercial HVAC and building automation applications. Operating on 24Vac power, this actuator features spring return functionality with a normally closed fail-safe position, ensuring system safety and reliability during power interruptions — all without a time-out function for uninterrupted proportional response.
Signal Compatibility
The AP13A000 is designed for maximum flexibility, accepting a wide range of industry-standard control signals:
- 0–10 Vdc proportional control
- 0–5 Vdc proportional control
- 5–10 Vdc proportional control
- 4–20 mA proportional control
Key Features
- 24Vac operating voltage for compatibility with standard low-voltage HVAC control systems
- Proportional control for precise, modulating valve positioning
- Spring return mechanism provides automatic fail-safe to the normally closed position on power loss
- No time-out function — maintains continuous proportional response
