Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13A030 Actuator
The Schneider Electric (Erie) AG13A030 Actuator is a field-proven 24VAC zone valve actuator designed for seamless integration with PopTop series valve bodies. Engineered for reliability in hydronic heating and cooling systems, this spring return actuator operates in a normally closed (NC) configuration, ensuring an automatic failsafe to the closed position upon loss of power. The high-torque synchronous motor provides a two-position (on/off) control signal, suitable for managing flow in fan coils, radiant baseboards, and air handlers. With its direct replacement design, the AG13A030 allows for one-handed installation and removal via the signature PopTop release button, eliminating the need for complex linkages or field calibration. This model includes a heavy-duty 3' appliance cable and is rated for high-pressure differential close-off up to 60 PSI, making it a rugged choice for demanding commercial and residential HVACR applications.
Key Benefits for Contractors:- PopTop Quick Release: Allows for rapid actuator replacement without draining the system or breaking pipe connections.
- Synchronous Motor Drive: Delivers consistent two-position control with 25-second run times for efficient thermal management.
- High Pressure Close-Off: Rated for up to 60 PSI differential, preventing bypass leakage in high-head circulator systems.
- Universal Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement for standard 24V Erie, INVENSYS, and Schneider Normally Closed actuator models.
- Durable Construction: Features a NEMA 1 protection rating and an appliance cable for secure electrical termination.
- How do I confirm if the motor or the valve body is failing? Use the manual override lever on the side; if the valve opens manually but not electronically, the 24Vac actuator motor or geartrain is likely the issue.
- Is calibration required after installing the AG13A030? No, the PopTop series is designed for "snap-on" installation; the internal seat alignment is handled by the valve body, not the actuator.
- Can this unit replace an AG13A020 or similar models? Yes, provided the voltage (24V) and failure mode (NC) match, though the 3' appliance cable provides a longer lead than standard 18" wire versions.
