1. GENERAL
1.1 Scope of the Manual
This instruction manual contains important information
regarding the installation, operation and maintenance of
the Valvcon ADC-Series electric actuator. Please read these
instructions carefully and save them for future reference.
1.2 Actuator Markings
WARNING
AS THE USE OF THE ACTUATOR IS APPLICATION SPECIFIC, A
NUMBER OF FACTORS SHOULD BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN
SELECTING AN ACTUATOR FOR A GIVEN APPLICATION. THEREFORE,
SOME OF THE SITUATIONS IN WHICH THE ACTUATORS ARE USED
ARE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THIS MANUAL.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE USE, APPLICATION
OR COMPATIBILITY OF THE ACTUATOR WITH THE INTENDED
SERVICE, CONTACT METSO FOR MORE INFORMATION.
The actuator has an identification label attached to the base
casting (see Figure 1).

1.3 Safety Precautions
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE ACTUATOR PERFORMANCE LIMITATIONS!
EXCEEDING THE TORQUE LIMITATIONS MARKED ON THE ACTUATOR
IDENTIFICATION LABEL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ACTUATOR
AND/OR FINAL DRIVE ELEMENT.
WARNING
DO NOT EXCEED THE ACTUATOR ELECTRICAL LIMITATIONS!
EXCEEDING THE ELECTRICAL LIMITATIONS MARKED ON THE
ACTUATOR IDENTIFICATION LABEL MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
ACTUATOR AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY.
WARNING
BEWARE OF MOVEMENT OF THE FINAL DRIVE ELEMENT AND ANY
LINKAGE BETWEEN IT AND THE ACTUATOR!
KEEP HANDS, OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY, TOOLS AND OTHER
OBJECTS OUT OF THE WAY OF MOVING PARTS. FAILURE TO DO THIS
MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY!
2. TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Check the actuator and any accompanying devices for any
damage that may have occurred during transport.
Store the actuator carefully. Storage indoors in a dry place
is recommended.
Move the actuator to its intended location just before
installation.
The actuator is usually shipped in the full clockwise,
(typically closed) position.
If the actuator(s) will be stored for a period longer than 90
days, follow the recommendations in IMO-S2 to maintain
the actuator’s integrity.
3. GENERAL INSTALLATION
INFORMATION
3.1 Description of ADC-Series Universal
Control Actuators (with Optional
Battery Back-Up)
The ADC-Series consists of two different sized enclosures
that cover different torque ranges. Model codes that start
with “ADC” indicate the standard enclosure and a torque
rating in the range from 150 to 600 in•lbs. “LADC” designates
the larger enclosure and a torque rating in the range from
1000 to 3000 in•lbs.
The ADC-Series Actuators provide an optional internal
battery pack to power the actuator in the event of a loss
of external power. Actuators with battery back-up are
identified in the model code by either a “UL2”, “UL3”,
“UL4”, “UL5”, “UL6” or “UL7”. The “UL2”, “UL4” and “UL6”
options are applicable in a standard ADC enclosure and
the “UL3”, “UL5”and “UL7” options are applicable in a LADC
enclosure. The “UL4” and “UL5” options are factory-set for
180° operation with the MID position factory set at 90°;
and the “UL6” and “UL7” options are factory-set for 270°
operation.
The ADC-Series Actuators’ base electronic package consists
of two separate boards; P/N VCB00010 Universal Control
Board and the Switching Power Supply allowing for the
choice of 115VAC, 230VAC, 12VDC, 24VDC or 24VAC
actuator power.
