Apollo Valves CS/CL Series Actuactor & Controls

Apollo Valves CS/CL Series are split phase reversing AC motors for standard duty or brushless DC Motors for continuous duty. Eight sizes are available which produce breakaway torques between 150 and 3000 lb-in. They are excellent industrial quality units capable of on/off, fail safe, and modulating applications.

The efficient spur gear drive train is supported by permanently-lubricated bearings making it very secure while eliminating the potential for side loading of the output shaft. Apollo offers as standard a 75% duty cycle AC motor. Continuous-duty brushless DC motors are also available for a range of input voltages. All units are rated for use in ambient environments from -40°F (with optional heater & thermostat) to 150°F (note that units equipped with an internal battery are rated to 130°F).

Hazardous Location Enclosures

The standard enclosures (CS and CL) are rated for NEMA 4/4X (weather tight and corrosion resistant). The Hazardous Location enclosures are rated for NEMA 4/4X/7 & 9, Class I, Div 1, Groups C&D; Class II, Div. 2, Groups E, F, & G; Class III.

(CSA) Certifications

Certification by the Canadian Standards Association of either hazardous or weatherproof locations is standard on all CS & CL models.

Apollo Valves CS/CL Series Features Include:

Switch selector for 4-20mA or 0-10VDC input
Switch selector for 4-20mA or 0-10VDC position readback
Switch selector for either “fail in-place” or “fail to zero” upon loss of control signal (provided input power remains)
On-board push buttons to manually position the actuator
A “Mode Selector” switch with LEDs, which are used for:
– ”No tools” pot calibration
– Setting Zero and span
– Manually positioning the actuator
An adjustable pot for speed control (motor pulsing)
An adjustable pot for deadband adjustment
Locked rotor protection if the actuator cannot achieve the position commanded by the control signal, it will cut power to the motor. Repeated stalls will not damage the actuator.
Reverse acting operation with no rewiring.
Split range operation with no rewiring.
