Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13B02A Actuator

In the field, reliability and speed of installation are critical, and the Schneider Electric Erie AG13B02A Actuator is engineered to meet those demands. This 120Vac two-position actuator features the iconic PopTop series design, allowing for a tool-free connection to VT/VS zone valve bodies. Built with a robust hysteresis synchronous motor, the unit ensures consistent performance and a long service life in demanding hydronic applications, including fan coils, baseboards, and air handlers. The spring return normally closed (NC) mechanism provides a essential fail-safe, automatically closing the valve upon power loss to prevent uncontrolled flow or overheating. For system integration and diagnostic monitoring, this model includes an integrated auxiliary end switch, capable of triggering secondary equipment like pumps or boilers once the actuator reaches its full stroke. Equipped with 18-inch wire leads, this motorized valve actuator simplifies wiring transitions in tight mechanical enclosures, while the manual override lever allows technicians to open the valve for system flushing or emergency bypass without needing electrical power.

• Universal PopTop Compatibility: Mounts directly to existing Schneider Electric (Erie) valve bodies without linkages, calibrations, or specialized tools.
• Fail-Safe Protection: The reliable spring return system ensures the valve returns to its normally closed position during power failures or controller issues.
• Integrated End Switch: Simplifies sequence-of-operation wiring by providing a dry contact signal once the valve is fully actuated.
• High-Temperature Resilience: Designed for fluid temperatures ranging from 32°F to 200°F, making it suitable for both chilled water and hot water systems.
• Manual Override Capability: Facilitates rapid troubleshooting and system startup by allowing manual flow control regardless of the actuator's energized state.

Can I use the AG13B02A on a 24V system?
No, this is a 120Vac actuator. Applying low voltage will result in failure to actuate, while applying 120V to a 24V body not rated for high-line voltage can damage the internal components.

Does this actuator work with both 2-way and 3-way valves?
Yes, the AG13B02A is the correct general close-off actuator for both 2-way and 3-way PopTop zone valves, provided the timing and torque requirements match the system specifications.

Why is my actuator making a clicking or grinding noise?
Loud noises typically indicate gear wear or debris within the valve body preventing full rotation. In these cases, the PopTop design allows you to swap the actuator head in seconds without draining the loop.
