Use

For the operation of Siemens 2-port and 3-port valves of the types VVF.., VVG.., VXF.. and

VXG.. with a 20 mm stroke as control and safety shut-off valves in heating, ventilation and

air conditioning plants.

Principle of electro-hydraulic actuators

Manual adjuster

Pressure cylinder

Suction chamber

Return spring

Solenoid valve

Hydraulic pump

Piston

Pressure chamber

Position indicator (0 to 1)

Coupling

Valve stem

Plug

Valve closed

Valve opened

Opening the

valve

The hydraulic pump [6] forces oil from the suction chamber [3] to the

pressure chamber [8], thereby moving the pressure cylinder [2] downwards.

The valve stem [11] retracts and the valve opens. Simultaneously, the return

spring [4] is compressed.

Closing the

valve

Activating the solenoid valve [5] allows the oil in the pressure chamber to

flow back into the suction chamber. The compressed return spring moves

the pressure cylinder upwards. The valve stem extends and the valve

closes.

Manual

operation

mode

For manual operation, swing out the crank so that the display window

becomes visible. By rotating the crank clockwise, the pressure cylinder is

moved downwards. The display window shows the engagement bar and/or

the scale dial with stroke indication.

In the manual operation mode, the positioning signals Y and Z can further

open the valve but cannot move to the 0 % stroke position of the valve. To

retain the manually set position, switch off the power supply or disconnect

the positioning signals Y and Z. The crank remains swung out and in the

display window the red indicator dial remains visible.

Note:

When setting the controller to manual operation for a longer

period of time, we recommend adjusting the actuator with the

manual adjuster to the desired position. This guarantees that

the actuator remains in this position for that period of time.

Attention: Do not forget to switch back to automatic operation

after the controller is set back to automatic control.

Automatic

operation

mode

For automatic operation, turn the manual adjuster clockwise to the end stop.

The pressure cylinder moves upwards to the 0% stroke position of the valve.

In the display window, the read scale disappears. Afterwards, swing the

crank closed.

Minimal

volumetric

flow

The actuator can be manually adjusted to a stroke position > 0%, allowing

its use in applications requiring a constant minimal volumetric flow.

SKB32..

SKB82..

3-position

control signal

The actuator is controlled by a 3-position signal either via terminals Y1 or Y2

and generates the desired stroke, which is transferred to the valve stem:

●Voltage on Y1:

Piston extends

Valve opens

●Voltage on Y2:

Piston retracts

Valve closes

●No voltage on Y1 and Y2:

Piston and valve stem remain in the

respective position

SKB62..

SKB60

Y positioning

signal

DC 0...10 V

and/or

0...1000 Ω,

DC 4...20 mA

The actuator is either controlled via terminal Y or override control Z. The

positioning signals generate the desired stroke by means of the above

described principle of operation, which is transferred to the valve stem:

●Signal Y increasing:

Piston extends

Valve opens

●Signal Y decreasing:

Piston retracts

Valve closes

●Signal Y constant:

Piston and valve stem remain in the

respective position

●Override control Z:

Frost

Frost

protection

thermostat

A frost protection thermostat can be connected to the SKB6.. actuator.

The added signals from the frost protection monitors QAF21.. and QAF61..

require the use of SKB62UA actuators. Notes on special programming of

the electronics are described under Electronics [➙5].

Connection diagrams for operation with frost protection thermostat or frost

protection monitor can be found under Connection diagrams [➙26].

SKB62/MO

The Modbus converter is designed for analog control at 0...10 V.

Keep the analog signal setting on the actuator as is (switch 1 to OFF); adjustment not

permitted.

The actuators are factory configured for equal-percentage characteristic.

DIL switch (internal actuator characteristic changeover) to "log" (switch 2 to OFF).

Functions

Spring-return function

The SKB32.51, SKB82.51.. and SKB62.. actuators, which feature a spring-return function,

incorporate a solenoid valve which opens if the control signal or power fails. The return

spring causes the actuator to move to the 0% stroke position and closes the valve.

Calibration

SKB60, SKB62.., SKB62/MO

In order to determine the stroke positions 0% and 100% in the valve, calibration is required

on initial commissioning.

Mechanical coupling of the actuator SKB6.. with a Siemens valve.

Actuator must bin in „Automatic operation mode“ enabling stroke calibration

to capture the effective 0% and 100% values.

AC 24 V power supply applied.

Housing cover removed.

1. Short-circuit contacts in calibration slot (e.g. with a

screwdriver) and trigger calibration process.

2. Actuator moves to 0% stroke position [1].

Valve closes.

3. Actuator moves to 100% stroke position [2].

Valve opens.

Measured values are stored.

LED flashes grün, positioning

feedback U inactive

Normal operation:

Actuator moves to the position [3] as indicated by signals

Y or Z.

LED is lit green permanently, positioning feedback U

active, values correspond to the actual positions.

A red lit LED on the actuator indicates a calibration error.

Siemens

CM1N4564en

Smart Infrastructure

2023-10-17

The LED on the SKB62/MO cable adapter flashes red during the calibration, as the

positioning signal Y and the positioning feedback U do not correspond anymore. This is

interpreted as a blockage and thus indicated as an error.

If necessary, the calibration can be repeated any number of times.

LED indication of operational status

SKB60, SKB62.., SKB62/MO

The dual-colored LED indicating the operational status is visible when the cover is removed.

Selection of direction of operation

SKB60 (from version ..L), SKB62UA

●With normally-closed valves, “direct acting” means that with a signal input of 0 V, the

valve closes (applies to all Siemens valves listed under Equipment combinations [➙12]).

●With normally-open valves, “direct acting” means that with a signal input of 0 V, the valve

is open.
