SKP Series
SKP10U.. Electro-hydraulic Actuators with Safety Shutoff Function For Use With Gas Valves VG

Description

SKP10 Electro-hydraulic actuators are used in combination with VG series gas valves to provide safety shutoff control for industrial and commercial burner applications. The compact SKP10 actuator opens slowly and closes rapidly upon interruption of power. The two-stage models provide adjustable low and high fire control. The modular design allows the SKP10 to be used in combination with all VG series gas valves from 1/2-inch to 6-inch size. The actuator is easily mounted on the square flange of any VG valve with the four bolts contained in the terminal box of the actuator (under the green cover). No gaskets or seals are required when mounting the actuator. The valve position is shown by a visible position indicator displaying the entire stroke range of the actuator.

Features

UL listed, FM approved, CSA certified for the United States and Canada, IRI approvable, ISO 9001 certified; European, Australian and Japanese approved versions available. Proof of Closure-Over Travel (POC-OT) versions available. Visual stroke indication. Optional auxiliary switches available. Modular construction allows 360 rotation of actuator for easy field wiring and installation. Low, 23 VA power consumption.

Application

SKP10 series actuators may be combined with 1/2-inch to 6-inch VG series gas valve bodies. VG series gas valves are ordered separately (See VGU.. Technical Instructions No. 155-512P25).

Technical Instructions Document No. 155-513P25 Rev. 3, July, 2002

Operation

Figure 1. SKP10U.. Operation. The electro-hydraulic actuator consists of a cylinder filled with oil and a piston containing an electric oscillating pump. When power is supplied to the actuator, the pump moves oil from the reservoir into the pressure chamber. This action causes the piston to move downward in the cylinder, opening the gas valve. When power to the pump is interrupted, the valve closes in less than 0.8 seconds. A visible disk fitted to the pump shaft indicates the entire stroke range of the actuator. This disk also operates optional auxiliary switches via a set of levers. The switching position of the auxiliary switch is adjustable over the entire stroke. The proof of closure switch is non-adjustable.

Installation

WARNING: All installations must be carried out by qualified personnel only. The SKP10 actuator is directly coupled to the VG series valve body by four bolts, contained in the terminal box of the actuator (under the green cover). The square o mounting flange can be rotated in steps of 90 to provide four different mounting positions. The actuator should be mounted so that the stroke position indicator is visible. The SKP10 actuator can be mounted in any position except upside down. The actuator can be mounted or replaced while the gas valve is under pressure. The actuator packing contains an electrical conduit adapter to match the 1/2-inch NPSM conduit. If the actuator is equipped with an auxiliary or proof of closure switch, two adapters are included.

NOTE:

Wiring must conform to local electrical codes.

Wiring and Switch Adjustment

Auxiliary and Proof of Closure Switch

Adjust the auxiliary switch (if provided) according to the wiring diagram located on the label affixed to the actuator's side. (Also see Terminal Designations.) NOTES: 1. The auxiliary switch must not be used for proof of closure detection or other interlock functions. 2. The Proof of Closure Switch is non-adjustable.

SKP10U.. Electro-hydraulic Actuators

Two-stage control

See the wiring diagram located on the label affixed to the actuators side. Connect the low fire power supply to Terminal 1, neutral to Terminal 2 and high fire power supply to Terminal 3. Adjust the low fire and high fire positions according to the wiring diagram located on the label affixed to the actuators side. (Also see Terminal Designations.)

Service Terminal Designations

There are no serviceable parts on the SKP10 Series actuators. If inoperative, replace the actuator. Tag wires before replacing.
