Description
The Schneider Electric (Erie) AP23A000 is a versatile proportional valve actuator engineered for precise modulating control in commercial and industrial HVAC applications. Designed to accept multiple input signal types, this actuator offers exceptional flexibility for integration into virtually any building automation or control system.
Key Features
- 24Vac power supply for safe, low-voltage operation
- Multiple proportional control signal inputs: 0–10Vdc, 0–5Vdc, 5–10Vdc, and 4–20mA
- Spring return mechanism ensures fail-safe, normally open position upon power loss
- No time-out function — actuator holds position without automatic reset cycling
- Proportional modulating control for precise flow regulation
- Compatible with Erie valve bodies for hot water, chilled water, and steam applications
- Compact motor/actuator design for easy installation in tight mechanical spaces
Control Signal Flexibility
The AP23A000 accepts four industry-standard proportional input signals — 0–10Vdc, 0–5Vdc, 5–10Vdc, and 4–20mA — making it compatible with a wide range of DDC controllers, building automation systems (BAS), and energy management systems (EMS). This eliminates the need for signal converters or additional interface hardware in most installations.
Spring Return & Fail-Safe Operation
The integrated spring return mechanism automatically drives the valve to the normally open (N.O.) fail-safe position whenever power is interrupted. This design is critical for applications where uninterrupted fluid flow must be maintained during power outages or system faults, protecting equipment and maintaining occupant comfort.
Applications
- Commercial HVAC air handling units (AHUs)
- Fan coil units and variable air volume (VAV) systems
- Hot water and chilled water coil control
- Building automation and energy management systems
- Industrial process control requiring modulating valve actuation
