Electric Valve Actuator (P/N 18481)
The electric valve actuator attaches to the primary cylinder at the valve actuation
connection and is utilized to automatically open the cylinder valve upon receipt of a
signal from the control panel or other source. It operates between 17 and 30 VDC and
consumes 600 mA (.6 Amps) at 24 VDC nominal with a maximum supervisory current
of 30 mA (0.03 Amps).
1/2” (15 mm)
The electric valve actuator body is steel construction with a brass knurled swivel nut Conduit Connector Knurled
and a stainless steel actuation pin that depresses the valve core when energized. with 36” (914 mm) Leads Swivel Nut
To discharge the primary cylinder manually, the ring pin is removed and the
emergency release button is depressed forcing the pin in the electric valve actuator Ring Pin
to depress the valve core of the cylinder valve. All other connected cylinders will be
opened pneumatically.

A 1/4 in (8 mm) MNPT by 37° male JIC check valve is installed in the
pilot actuation port of the primary cylinder valve with direction of flow
OUT of the valve. When the valve opens, pressure will be directed
1/4” (8 mm) MNPT through the pilot actuation check valve to the pneumatic valve actuators
on the slave cylinders. The purpose of the pilot actuation check valve
is to ensure the pneumatic actuator(s) remain pressurized for the entire
discharge period.
