VU443A; VU444A; VU843A; VU844A  
Fan Coil Valve Actuators  
PRODUCT DATA  
The VU443, VU444, VU843, and VU844 Fan Coil Valve  
Actuators are used in conjunction with the VU52, VU53, and  
VU54 fan coil valves for controlling the flow of hot or chilled  
water. These valves are humidity resistant and are suitable for  
use in condensing, non-corrosive environments.

OPERATION

CAUTION

On 24V systems, never jumper the valve coil  
terminals even temporarily. This can burn out the  
heat anticipator in the thermostat.  
WIRING  
AUTOMATIC OPERATION  
On a call for heat or cool by the fan coil thermostat, the valve  
motor operates, opening the valve. When the call ends, the  
valve closes by integral spring return.  
Disconnect the power supply before connecting wiring to  
prevent electrical shock or equipment damage. All wiring must  
comply with local codes and ordinances.

MANUAL OPERATION  
CHECKOUT  
The 2-way normally closed and 3-way motorized valve  
actuators can be opened manually by lifting the manual  
opening lever over the stop and pushing slowly and firmly to  
the MAN. OPEN position. The stop permits the valve to be  
locked in the open position. The valve returns to automatic  
position when it is energized.  
SET TO HEATING MODE  
1. Raise the setpoint on the zone thermostat above the  
room temperature to initiate a call for heat.  
2. Observe all control devices - the valve should open.  
3. Lower the setpoint on the zone thermostat below the  
room temperature.  
4. Observe the control devices. The valve should close  
and the auxiliary equipment should stop.  
NORMALLY CLOSED  
With the manual opener set to AUTO and the actuator  
energized, the A port is opened as shown in Fig. 6A and 7A.  
When the actuator is de-energized, a spring-return  
mechanism drives the valve to the port A closed position as  
shown in Fig. 6B and 7B. The valve can also be opened with  
no electrical power by moving the manual opening lever over  
the stop and pushing slowly and firmly to the MAN. OPEN  
position. The stop permits the valve to be locked in an open  
position. The valve returns to the automatic position when the  
valve is energized.  
SET TO COOLING MODE  
1. Lower the setpoint on the zone thermostat below the  
room temperature to initiate a call for cooling.  
2. Observe all control devices - the valve should open.  
3. Raise the setpoint on the zone thermostat above the  
room temperature.  
4. Observe the control devices. The valve should close.  
NORMALLY OPEN  
With the manual opener set to AUTO and the actuator  
energized, the A port is closed as shown in Fig. 6B.  
SERVICE  
This valve should be serviced by a trained, experienced  
service technician.  
NOTE: Inlet and Outlet Ports are indicated by a flow direc-  
tion arrow on the valve body.  
1. If the valve is leaking, drain the system and check to  
see if the O-ring needs replacing.  
2. If the gear train is damaged, replace the entire actuator.  
See the Installation section. If the motor is burned out,  
replace the motor.  
3. Wear safety glasses to protect eyes from injury  
when removing or installing the large spring clip  
that holds the actuator plate to the valve body. Use  
proper snap ring pliers to remove or install spring  
clip.

NOTE: Honeywell fan coil valves are designed and tested  
for silent operation in properly designed and installed  
systems; however, water noises can occur as a  
result of excessive water velocity or piping noises  
can occur in high temperature (higher than 212° F  
[100° C]) systems with insufficient water pressure.  
Valves are designed for normal cycling operations.  
Product life will be shortened if energized continu-  
ously or if operated above rated temperatures.

Use VU444/844 actuators on either VU52 2-way normally

pressure ratings will be reduced when used with VU53.
