VALVCON® ADC-Series – Continuous Duty Electric Actuator Q & A

+ What is the Valvcon ADC-Series actuator?
The Valvcon ADC-Series is a continuous-duty, brushless DC electric actuator designed for quarter-turn valve and damper applications. It’s built for high reliability, with universal power & control, holding brake, heater, and various certifications.
+ Can the actuator run continuously? What is its duty cycle?
Yes. It is designed for a 100% duty cycle at +40 °C (+104 °F).
+ What enclosure and environmental ratings are available?
The actuator comes in NEMA 4/4X or NEMA 4/4X/7&9 enclosures. It is capable of operation in temperature ranges from –40 °C to +66 °C (–40 °F to +150 °F). For ATEX-rated models, the ambient cold limit is –20 °C.
+ What safety/agency certifications does it have?
It has CSA (C US) certification, CE compliance, and for WX models it includes ATEX approval. The NEMA 4/4X/7&9 models meet Class I, Div.1, Gr. C & D; Class II, Div.1, Gr. E, F & G; Class III standards, and are certified to the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU: Ex db IIB T6 Gb, IECEx CSA 14.0057X. (Note: the page does not list specific network protocols supported.)
+ Is there a battery backup option?

Yes. There is an optional internal battery backup that can drive the actuator to a "safe" position in case of power loss.
