Schneider Electric (Erie) AG14A020 Actuator

The Schneider Electric Erie AG14A020 is a heavy-duty two-position motor actuator engineered for precise zone control in demanding HVACR environments. Designed as part of the PopTop series, this 24Vac unit features a fail-safe spring return mechanism and a normally closed configuration, ensuring reliable close-off during power loss. This specific model is high temperature rated, making it suitable for high-limit applications where standard actuators might fail. It utilizes a hysteresis synchronous motor to provide consistent torque across its lifecycle, mounting directly to the valve body without the need for complex linkages or calibration tools. The 18" wire leads simplify field wiring for contractors working on fan coils, baseboards, or air handlers. With general close-off performance and a manual override lever, the AG14A020 allows for easy manual positioning during system commissioning or maintenance without removing the actuator from the valve body.

Key Benefits:

• High temperature compatibility supports fluid temperatures up to 250°F, ideal for low-pressure steam and high-temp hot water systems.
• PopTop quick-release design allows for one-handed installation or replacement without the need for tools or system drainage.
• Mechanical spring return ensures the valve returns to the normally closed position immediately upon power interruption for system protection.
• Hysteresis synchronous motor provides reliable, long-term operation in high-cycle two-position zone valve applications.
• Integrated manual override lever enables manual operation for troubleshooting and flushing even when the control signal is absent.

Common Questions:

• Is the AG14A020 compatible with 3-way valve bodies? Yes, but it is primarily used in a normally closed configuration; on 3-way valves, the flow configuration depends on the piping at the service and bypass ports.
• Can this actuator be used on low-pressure steam applications? Yes, the high temperature rating of the AG series allows for use on VS series valve bodies rated for up to 15 psig steam.
• Does this model include an auxiliary end switch? No, the AG14A020 does not feature an end switch; for end switch capability, the AG14A02A model is required.
