NOTE: All identified parts except for the valve body and 
aluminum valve stem coupler are included in 
Replacement Kit (part no. 5112-11).
OPERATION AND CHECKOUT
Once both the mechanical and electrical installations are 
complete: 
1. Cycle the actuator to verify that the direction of rota-
tion suits the control sequence. 
2. If the rotation direction is incorrect: 
a. For 2-position spring return actuators: Remove, 
flip over, and replace actuator on the bracket. 
b. For floating control actuators: Reverse two control 
signal wires (CW/CCW), or change position of 
selector switch.
c. For analog control actuators either: 
(3) Change setting of reverse/direct-acting 
switch, or 
(4) Remount actuator on the bracket. 
3. If the control scheme requires fail-safe operation, 
ensure that, upon removal of power, the fail position 
coincides with the control sequence. 
4. Spring return actuators are factory-configured for 
normally-closed, fail-safe operation on power loss. To 
change this action to normally-open, remove and 
reinstall the actuator in the opposite orientation as 
follows:
a. Loosen the shaft coupling bolt using a 10 mm 
wrench.
b. Loosen all other mounting bolts connecting the 
actuator to the mounting bracket, and set aside.
c. Remove the actuator from the valve shaft.
d. Move the Self-Centering Shaft Adaptor to the 
opposite side of the actuator, as displayed in 
Fig. 28.
Fig. 28. Change actuator to normally open.
(1) Remove the retainer clip from the 
Self-Centering Shaft Adapter and set it aside 
for later use.
(2) Remove SCSA from actuator.
(3) Reinstall SCSA on the opposite side of the 
actuator, aligning it based on the stroke 
labeling.
(4) Replace the retainer clip on the shaft coupling 
using the groove of the coupling. 
e. Reconnect the actuator to the valve mounting 
bracket by replacing the screws previously 
removed (step b).
f. Tighten the shaft coupling bolt using a 10 mm 
wrench or socket.
Operation
The differential pressure regulator maintains constant 
pressure drop across the valve seat through a wide range of 
head pressures. At a given ball position, flow through the 
valve will be constant as defined by the formula:
where ρ is the density of the glycol mix.
P
IN
 changes constantly in a multi-zone system as other 
valves open and close, changing system flow and head 
pressure according to the characteristics of the supply 
pump curve. Reaction of the mechanical pressure 
regulator is instantaneous, eliminating changes in room
