VICI Two position Standard electric - Manual (Page 3)

1.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Valco 2 position valves are widely used in a variety of sample injection and
switching applications. Rotating them to the desired position can be done
manually, but is best done automatically with either the Valco 2 Position Air
Actuator or the Valco 2 Position Electric Actuator described in this manual. For
most laboratory uses, especially where a laboratory computer is available for
control but compressed air is not, the Valco 2 Position Electric Actuator is the best
choice.
Valco 2 Position Electric Actuators are available in 110VAC or 220VAC models for
any 30°, 36°, 45°, 60°, or 90° Valco valve. The model numbers of the actuators are
respectively E30, E36, E45, E60, and E90. (Or E30-220, etc.) An electric actuator
can be retrofitted to existing air actuated or manual valves and is compatible with
all Valco close coupling and standoff assembly hardware.
The 2 position electric actuator is a complete system, with all the necessary cables
and power cord. It consists of (a) the actuator itself, (b) a control box with LED
display, and (c) an interface cable for remote switching. The actuators are normally
supplied with a motor/gear train that moves the valve from Position A to Position B
in 0.56 seconds. All electric actuator models use separate line voltages (120V AC
or 220V AC, 50/60 Hz) and require no power from the chromatograph with which
they are used.
