RE-ASSEMBLED ELECTRICAL ACTUATOR HEAD 227SOL
WITH ACTUATING MONITORING DEVICE 227AMD
Description
The purpose of this actuator head is to actuate the valves of the cylinders on which it is fitted electro-
mechanically. It will activate when the coil is energised, which will cause the solenoid to operate and actuate the
valve. This actuator can be reseted (pointer goes back to the stand by position) by threading a reset screw in its
revolving nut.
The mechanism for fitting it to the cylinder valve using a swivel nut allows it to face the right direction.
All devices are to be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 “National Electrical Code” and with local electrical
code requirements. If installation conditions require special protection, please contact Siex to discuss availability
of suitably rated enclosures.
The use of an Actuator Monitoring Device in combined operation with the electrical actuator has a required
effective date of January 1, 2016, in order to meet the requirements of NFPA 2001.
The Actuator Monitoring Device is required to be used whenever the system is under service. The actuator head
is never intended to be removed, only in case to maintenance.
If the actuator head is removed, it must be placed back in its original condition when maintenance is completed.
The device 227AMD consists in a micro pointer, it allows to electrical activation or any type of actuator head in
the installation, the micro pointer is integrated in the revolving nut of the actuator head. It is used to detect at
every moment the status of the electrical actuator or any other actuator head (connected or disconnected). When
the electrical actuator is disconnected the micro switch sends an electrical signal to the control panel displaying
status information.
227AMD can be install in all cylinders of the system because the 227AMD can be mounted in any activation head
(pneumatic, manual, electrical…) or only in cylinder with electrical actuator, could be monitorize all cylinders of
the systems. The 227AMD for electric actuator on discharge valve control head meets the requirements of NFPA
2001, UL 2166, UL 2127 and FM5600.

The 227SOL electrical actuator head is connected to the upper actuation port of the RGS-MAM-20/40/50/80
valve and it can be to the side port of the container valve RGS-MAM-12-1C in valve core 1. The manual
actuator head 227DM / 227DMS, the cable-operated manual actuator head 227CMC, cable-operated
manual actuator head with protective box 227CMCC, pneumatic actuator head 227CN / 227CNTK,
pneumatic-manual actuator head 227CNM and the TK-SIMPLEX or TK-COMPLEX mechanical control unit
can all be fitted to the 227SOL actuator head.

Installation instruction:
The process to install the 227AMD in the valves is the same as the installation of the actuator with which it
is mounted; see installation manual of the relevant extinguishing agent.
It must be threaded by hand, it is not necessary to tighten with a tool.
Once the installation and manual tightening of the actuator on the valve is finished the top safety pin can be
removed, breaking the security seal, after that the device can be rotated to the desired position, It can be
installed in any position (see image 1), loose it with a block screw and turn around the valve, It is only
necessary to unscrew a few turns, no need to remove it whole, when placed it in the desired position,
tighten the screw again (see image 2). It is advisable to store the safety pin for disassembly when
necessary.

Inside the connector, two diodes are located. The one connected in parallel with the winding (D2) eliminates the tension
ends that take place when disconnecting, avoiding that the electronic components can be deteriorated. The diode in
series (D1) protects the electromagnet avoiding that is damaged by tensions of inverse polarity. The non-correct
polarization of the feeding, necessarily implies the non-operation of the apparatus, therefore it is essential to respect the
feeding polarizations.
Connections of the connector:
The terminal with mark 1 corresponds to the positive of the continuous feed.
The terminal with mark 2 corresponds to the negative of the continuous feed.

Actuator Monitoring Device 227AMD:
To install the wiring of 227AMD, the next instructions must
be followed:
1. Connect the brown leads to the supervision zone on
the Fire Alarm Control Panel.
2. The blue leads can be connected to the next
227AMD or at the End Of Line Resistor (EOLR). It´s
necessary differentiate between the electrical
activation circuit and the 227AMD circuit; they are
different, because this last is only for supervision.
They don´t share the same circuit.
This circuit diagram may change according Siex 2001 criteria.
Safety:
Before threading the electrical actuator to the activation port of the valve, check that the actuator pointer is retracted
(position 1).
If the actuator pointer is in position 2, when threading the electrical actuator, the gas extinguisher contained in the
cylinder could discharge violently, causing serious injuries to the person handling it.
Do not install the electrical actuator without holding the cylinder to the wall with its brackets.
REVOLVING NUT:
Thread it to the valve activation port.
Do not add sealant, or Teflon, or glue.
Tighten only with the hand.
To remove the electrical actuator from the valve, loosen its revolving nut by hand.
When doing this operation the valve cap must not be turned, as this will cause the contents of the cylinder to be
discharged violently, which could cause serious injuries.
Do not remove the electrical actuator unless the cylinder is attached to the wall by its brackets.
