Schneider Electric (Erie) AH13A000 Actuator Motor
The Schneider Electric Erie AH13A000 Actuator Motor is a heavy-duty replacement component designed for two-position hydronic valve control in demanding HVAC applications. Operating on 24Vac power, this spring return actuator is engineered for normally closed (NC) operation, ensuring a fail-safe position during power loss. This unit features high close-off pressure capabilities, making it ideal for systems with significant static pressure variations where standard actuators might fail to seal. Compatible with AG and AR series valve bodies, the AH13A000 facilitates reliable flow control in fan coil units and baseboard heating systems. The 6-inch motor wires provide sufficient lead length for quick terminal connections. For technicians servicing legacy Erie PopTop systems, this synchronous motor actuator offers a direct-fit solution, maintaining system integrity without requiring extensive piping modifications. Its robust internal gearing and high-torque output ensure consistent performance in high-cycle commercial environments.
- Fail-Safe Reliability: The mechanical spring return mechanism ensures the valve returns to its normally closed position upon loss of power.
- Superior Sealing: Engineered for high close-off applications, preventing leakage even in systems with high differential pressures.
- Streamlined Installation: Designed for the Erie PopTop mounting system, allowing for motor replacement without draining the entire hydronic loop.
- Precision Control: The two-position 24V operation integrates seamlessly with standard building automation systems and thermostats.
Common Service Questions
Is this motor compatible with 120V systems?
No, the AH13A000 is rated strictly for 24Vac. Applying line voltage will result in immediate coil failure. Check your transformer output before installation.
Can I use this on a normally open valve body?
This specific actuator is configured for normally closed operation. Using it on a normally open body will reverse the intended logic of your control system.
Does this include the valve body?
This is the replacement actuator motor only. It is designed to snap onto existing Schneider Electric or legacy Erie valve assemblies.
