Macon Controls VAC24 Valve Actuator

The Macon Controls VAC24 is a professional-grade 24V N/C valve actuator designed for precise fluid regulation in commercial and industrial HVACR systems. Built as a normally closed actuator, this unit ensures the valve remains in the shut position when power is removed, providing fail-safe operation for heating and cooling zones. As a high-performance thermal actuator, the VAC24 utilizes a gearless electromechanical operator for silent, vibration-free performance, making it an ideal choice for noise-sensitive environments like office buildings or residential complexes. This technical solution serves as the definitive direct replacement for 3038402, VMC24, Z60000, and Z61000. Note that when replacing the legacy Z60000 series, you must replace the complete actuator assembly to ensure mechanical compatibility. With a standard 2.5 mm valve stroke and low power consumption of approximately 1.8W, the Macon VAC24 integrates seamlessly with Macon NT series valves, providing reliable zone control via 24VAC time-proportioning signals.

• Direct Retrofit Compatibility: Specifically engineered to replace obsolete VMC24 and Z61000 models without piping modifications.
• Visual Status Indication: Features a transparent viewing zone above the mounting nut; red indicates the valve is closed, while black confirms an open position.
• Efficient Power Draw: Operates on a standard 24V AC signal with a low 200 mA initial current, optimizing energy usage across large-scale deployments.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for use with radiators, fin-tube heaters, heat pumps, and low-pressure steam applications.
• Durable IP54 Construction: Built to withstand demanding mechanical room environments with dust and water resistance.

What systems is the VAC24 compatible with?
This actuator is designed for Macon NT Series Valves and is widely used in hydronic heating zones, solar panels, and heat pump systems requiring a 24V control signal.

How do I verify if the valve is open or closed?
Technicians can perform a quick visual inspection through the integrated status window. A red indicator signifies the "Closed" state, and a black indicator signifies the "Open" state.

Can I use this to replace a Z60000 actuator?
Yes, but the entire actuator head must be replaced. The VAC24 is the modern technical equivalent designed to restore full functionality to these systems.
