Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) M313A00 Actuator

The Schneider Electric M313A00 is an industrial-grade, 24V proportional spring return actuator designed for precise fluid control in HVACR systems. As a normally open actuator, it delivers a fail-safe position upon loss of power, ensuring system protection in critical applications. This unit serves as the direct replacement for M113A00 and is compatible with the VBB and VBS series ball valve bodies, frequently utilized in fan coil units, VAV reheat coils, and unit ventilators. Featuring a terminal block connection, the M313A00 simplifies field wiring and integration into existing DDC control systems. The updated design includes a manual override lever and a DIP switch selectable control signal, supporting 0-10 Vdc, 2-10 Vdc, and 4-20 mA inputs. With a 300:1 rangeability and a robust gear train featuring stainless steel bearings, this SmartX valve actuator provides high-torque performance and reliable terminal unit control for hot or chilled water systems containing up to 60% glycol.

• Fail-Safe Reliability: The spring return mechanism automatically returns the valve to a normally open state during power interruptions.
• Precise Modulation: Advanced proportional control logic ensures accurate positioning and stable flow characteristics for improved energy efficiency.
• Easy Installation: The "PopTop" design allows for tool-free, one-handed mounting to SmartX ball valves, reducing field labor time.
• Versatile Configuration: Accessible DIP switches allow for quick selection of control signals and direct or reverse acting modes without removing the cover.
• Enhanced Durability: Engineered with a high-torque motor and reinforced gear train for longevity in demanding commercial HVAC maintenance environments.

Is the M313A00 a direct swap for the older M113A00 model?
Yes, the M313A00 is the specific replacement for M113A00. It retains the same footprint while introducing an improved gear train and easier DIP switch configuration for signal range selection.

What control signals does this 24V actuator support?
This modulating actuator is compatible with 0-10 Vdc, 5-10 Vdc, 0-5 Vdc, and 4-20 mA control signals, making it adaptable to nearly any building automation controller.

Can this actuator be used with 3-way valves?
Yes, the M313A00 is designed to work with both 2-way and 3-way Schneider Electric VBB/VBS ball valve bodies, provided they match the actuator's stroke and torque requirements.
