Description
1/2"–2" Motorised UPVC Ball Valve with Modulating Control – ABVP-9M
The ABVP-9M Series motorised UPVC ball valves provide accurate proportional flow control for water, air, vacuum and compatible industrial liquids. Combining a corrosion-resistant double union UPVC valve with an IP67 electric actuator, they are suitable for PLC automation, Building Management Systems (BMS), water treatment, HVAC and industrial process control.
Featuring 4–20mA modulating control as standard, with optional 0–5V or 0–10V inputs, all three configurations provide 4–20mA analogue valve position feedback.
Available from 1/2" to 2" BSP, with EPDM/PTFE or optional FKM/PTFE seals, NPN fault monitoring, manual override and optional supercapacitor-powered failsafe return.

Modulating Control & Position Feedback
The ABV/9M actuator provides proportional valve positioning with three analogue control input options. All three provide 4–20mA position feedback, independently of the selected input signal.
Available Configurations:
4–20mA input / 4–20mA feedback – Standard
0–5V input / 4–20mA feedback – Optional
0–10V input / 4–20mA feedback – Optional
1–5V input / 1–5V feedback – Special order
The analogue feedback signal allows compatible PLC, BMS and process-control systems to monitor actuator position.
Electrical Wiring & Signal Connections
Power Supply
RED – Positive 12–24V DC
BLACK – Negative DC supply
Modulating Control
GREEN – Positive analogue control input
BLUE – Signal common / negative
Position Feedback
WHITE – Positive 4–20mA analogue output
BLUE – Signal common / negative
The standard feedback signal remains 4–20mA with 4–20mA, 0–5V and 0–10V control inputs. Special-order matched 1–5V input/output configurations use the corresponding voltage feedback.
NPN Actuator Fault-Status Output
Both ABV/9M and ABV/9MAR actuators incorporate a dedicated yellow-wire NPN fault-status output, independently of the selected control signal.
Fault Output Operation:
Normal: NPN ON – YELLOW connected to BLACK (0V)
Fault / blockage: NPN OFF – YELLOW disconnected from BLACK (open circuit)
Maximum Switching Voltage: 25V DC
Maximum Switching Current: 100mA
The NPN output provides a separate switching indication for compatible PLC, BMS and monitoring circuits. It is not an analogue position feedback signal or an internally supplied positive-voltage output.
Modulating Performance
The actuator provides 75 positioning steps across its 90° operating range, with approximately 12 seconds full travel and 100% continuous duty operation.
Intermediate valve positioning is controlled by the selected analogue input signal, allowing proportional regulation of fluid flow.
Actual flow characteristics depend on valve position, size, pressure differential and fluid properties. The 75 positioning steps do not imply a linear relationship between control signal and flow rate.
Optional Failsafe Return – ABVP-9MAR
The optional ABVP-9MAR supercapacitor-powered failsafe actuator automatically returns the valve to its specified safe position following loss of electrical power.
Stocked Failsafe Configurations:
4–20mA control / 4–20mA feedback
0–10V control / 4–20mA feedback
A 0–5V control / 4–20mA feedback version is also available, subject to ordering requirements.
Failsafe Features:
✓ Supercapacitor-powered automatic return
✓ Predetermined failsafe position specified when ordering
✓ 4–20mA analogue position feedback
✓ NPN fault-status output, maximum 25V DC / 100mA
✓ Approximately 1.5–2 minutes powered capacitor recharge between failsafe operations
Repeated power interruptions before the capacitor has fully recharged may prevent completion of another failsafe return.
Important: Failsafe operation is optional and is not included with the standard ABVP-9M actuator.
