5.
With the travel switch in the closed position, rotate 
the handwheel one-half turn CW, then turn the 
closed travel stop CW until it bottoms out against 
the output gear. Lock the travel stop bolts.
Open Travel Switch and Travel Stop 
Adjustment
Manually operate the actuator handwheel 
Counterclockwise (CCW) until the valve is fully open. 
Follow the same procedure as outlined in the Closed 
Travel Switch and Travel Stop Adjustment
 section, 
except use the green cam (open) and the travel stop 
located on the left side (as seen when viewed from the 
travel stop side of the actuator).
Servo Commissioning
Ensure that the travel switches and travel stops are set 
properly before calibrating the servo. Use a controlled 
and known command signal source. Factory-installed 
servos are pre-calibrated.
Setting the Input Control Signal
Set the input control signal for the input type used. See 
Table 1.
Setting the Potentiometer
1.
Manually operate the actuator handwheel until the 
unit is in the fully closed position.
2.
Rotate the black potentiometer drive gear 
adjustment knob to barely engage the 
potentiometer gear segment at the closed position.
3.
Manually operate the actuator to the fully open 
position.
4.
Fine-tune the potentiometer adjustment at this end 
to equalize the difference between the ends. The 
potentiometer gear segment should maintain 
engagement with the drive gear throughout full 
actuator travel.
Setting the Servo
1.
Wire the input signal to the incoming command 
signal terminals. Ensure that you maintain proper 
polarity when making wiring connections.
2.
Connect the power supply and activate the 
actuator.
3.
Check the Status Light-Emitting Diode (LED).
If the red Status LED is flashing, refer to the 
Servo Troubleshooting section in the 
VA-9070 Series Electric Rotary Actuators 
Technical Bulletin (LIT-977325)
.
If the green Status LED is flashing, press and 
hold the CALIBRATE button until the green 
Status LED flashes rapidly (approximately 
2 seconds), then release the CALIBRATE 
button. The servo drives the valve to the open 
and close travel limit switch settings. When the 
calibration is complete, the green Status LED 
resumes flashing at the normal rate.
If the Status LED alternately flashes red, then 
flashes green, the calibration has failed. To 
resolve the problem, refer to the Servo 
Troubleshooting 
section in the VA-9070 Series 
Electric Rotary Actuators Technical Bulletin 
(LIT-977325)
.
4.
After calibration is complete, apply the desired 
minimum and maximum input signals, and observe 
the actuator operation through one full cycle for 
proper operation.
Repair Information
If the VA-9070 Series Electric Rotary Actuators for 
Two-Position and Modulating Service fails to operate 
within its specifications, replace the unit. For a 
replacement VA-9070 Series actuator, contact the 
nearest Johnson Controls® representative.
