Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13U030 Actuator

The Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13U030 Actuator is a field-proven 240Vac motorized valve actuator designed for high-performance control in hydronic systems. This PopTop series actuator features a normally closed configuration and utilizes a reliable two-position spring return mechanism to ensure failsafe operation during power loss. Engineered with a hysteresis synchronous motor, it provides the high starting torque necessary to overcome common mineral buildup in HVAC zone valves. The unit comes equipped with a 3' appliance cable (36-inch cord leads) for flexible wiring and is rated for NEMA 1 indoor environments. As a veteran-preferred choice for fan coil and baseboard heating applications, this 240V actuator is compatible with Erie VT/VS series valve bodies. Its quick-release PopTop design allows for one-handed removal and installation without draining the system, significantly reducing labor time for mechanical contractors. Integrating this Schneider Electric motor actuator ensures precise on/off fluid control and long-term HVAC system efficiency.

• Effortless Installation: The signature PopTop quick-release lever allows for rapid head replacement without breaking pipe connections or draining the loop.
• Failsafe Reliability: The mechanical spring return ensures the valve returns to its normally closed position immediately upon power interruption.
• High Torque Output: Optimized synchronous motor design provides consistent close-off pressure for hydronic heating and cooling systems.
• Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly mounts to Erie AG series and VT/VS series zone valves, making it a standard OEM replacement part.
• Durable Construction: Built with a rugged actuator housing and a 3-foot appliance cable to withstand demanding mechanical room conditions.

Can I use this 240V actuator on a 24V or 120V system?
No. The AG13U030 is specifically rated for 230/240Vac. Using a 240V actuator on a lower voltage system will prevent the motor from engaging, while higher voltage will cause immediate electrical failure.

What is the purpose of the manual override lever?
The manual lever allows HVAC technicians to manually open the zone valve for system filling or emergency heating/cooling. Note that the lever should only be used when the power is off to avoid damaging the internal gear train.

Does this actuator replace the older Erie PopTop models?
Yes, this is the current Schneider Electric standard for normally closed 240V actuators. It is designed to be backwards compatible with most legacy Erie zone valve bodies that utilize the PopTop mounting system.
