Overview

The Siemens SSB161.05U is an electromotoric actuator designed for use with Powermite MZ Series 2-way and 3-way globe valves. This actuator is typically employed in applications such as chilled ceilings, VAV (Variable Air Volume) systems, unit ventilators, fan coil units, and other terminal unit applications.

Function Description

The SSB161.05U actuator operates with an AC/DC 24 V power supply and responds to a DC 0...10 V positioning signal. When driven by this positioning signal, the actuator produces a stroke that is transmitted to the valve stem, converting it into a mechanical stroke to control the valve stem's position. The actuator is self-calibrating to the valve stroke, ensuring accurate and consistent operation.

The valve's opening and closing are proportional to the control signal Y. At DC 0 V, the actuator stem retracts, causing a normally closed valve to be fully closed and a normally open valve to be fully open. If power is lost, the actuator maintains its current position. The actuator also provides position and motion indication via an LED.

Usage Features

  • Direct Mounting: The actuator features direct mounting with a coupling nut, requiring no special tools for installation.
  • Manual Override: A manual override function is available. A 3-mm hexagonal wrench can be used to adjust the actuator stem position. To engage manual operation, a button must be pressed and held for at least three seconds. The actuator will then ignore control signals from the controller. Exiting manual mode also requires pressing and holding the button, after which the actuator performs a self-calibration.
  • LED Indication: The actuator provides clear LED indications for various operational states:
    • Modulation (Stem retracting/extending): Flashing green in sequence (LED1->LED2->LED3 or LED3->LED2->LED1).
    • Stem Position: Constant green (LED1 for H0-H40, LED2 for H40-H60, LED3 for H60-H100).
    • Calibration: Flashing green (LED2: 100 ms on, 100 ms off).
    • Error: Constant red (LED2).
    • Manual Operation: Flashing green/red alternatively (LED2: Green 500 ms, red 500 ms).
  • Self-Calibration: Upon application of operating voltage, the actuator automatically self-calibrates, moving from fully retracted to fully extended and then to the setpoint. Correct calibration requires a valve stroke greater than 0.05 inch (1.2 mm). If calibration fails, the actuator attempts another calibration after 10 seconds. After three failed attempts, the stem remains in the extended position, and valves are open.
  • Delivery Options: Valves and actuators can be ordered pre-assembled or separately. For easier separate assembly, actuators are delivered with the stem fully retracted.
  • Compatibility: Designed for combinable use with Powermite 599 MZ Series 2-way and 3-way globe valves, including specific models like 599-01100 to 599-01139.

Maintenance Features

  • Maintenance-Free: The SSB161.05U actuators are designed to be maintenance-free.
  • Repair: The actuators cannot be repaired; the complete unit must be replaced if faulty.
  • Disposal: The device is considered electronic waste and should be disposed of through designated channels, complying with all local and currently applicable laws and regulations.
  • Safety during Service: When performing service work on the plant, it is crucial to switch off the operating voltage and, if necessary, disconnect electrical connections from the terminals. The actuator must only be commissioned with a correctly mounted valve in place.
  • Cabling Operation: For cabling, the cover screw needs to be unscrewed, and the cover removed. Wire terminals are removable for easy connection/disconnection.
