Product Description 

The SSC series actuator requires a 24 Vac, Class 2 
supply and provides a 0 to 10 Vdc or Floating (three-
position) control signal. The actuator controls a 
Powermite

™ 599 Series MT Series valve with a 

7/32-inch (5.5-mm) stroke.

Prerequisites 

 

WARNING: 

1.  If mounting the actuator to a valve already 

in line, either close the shut-off in the 
piping (upstream first, then downstream) or 
switch off the pump to allow the differential 
pressure in the valve to drop.  

2.  Disconnect the controller power before 

replacing the actuator.  

3.  If high voltage cable is co-located with the 

SSC actuator, conduit or shielded wire may 
need to be used.  

 

 

CAUTION:

 

Before applying power, make certain a valve is 
connected to the actuator.  
 
If applying power to the actuator when a valve is 
not connected, the actuator will respond to a 
control signal and the shaft will extend until it 
reaches its maximum end stop. Thereafter, it will 
not respond to any signal.  
 
If this occurs, disconnect the power. Turn the 
manual position indicator on the top of the 
actuator to the 

0

 position and verify the actuator 

shaft retracts completely. See Figure 4. 
 
Connect a valve to the actuator and reapply the 
power. The actuator will return to normal 
operation. 

Mounting 

The vertical position is recommended for mounting 
the actuator. See Figure 1.  

 

Figure 1. 

Acceptable Actuator Mounting Positions.  

 

 

CAUTION:

 

Mount actuator at a 45° angle from vertical when 
using on low pressure steam systems to reduce 
radiant heat that can damage the actuator.
