FAQ - Q6 Remote Field Actuator

Q6 Electric Actuator in a remote locationWhat is the Valvcon Q6 Electric Actuator?

The Valvcon Q6 actuator was designed for remote service from battery/solar power, commanded by a radio operator.  The Q6 is typically used for remote well head applications.

How does the Q6 differ from our standard 12VDC V Series actuator?

Functionally, the standard Q6 (no options) is identical to a DC powered V Series with a dual relay board, except the dual relay board is incorporated in the main PC board.  The Q6 has no modular plug-in capability.

Surge protection is built into the Q6 circuit board to provide some protection against high voltage transients (i.e. lightning).  The Q6 has four limit switches; two for open/close limits and two for independent position indication.  the Q6 is designed for low current draw and has an LED indicator for input power verification.

Other options include:

  • Adjustable torque switch
  • Adjustable speed control
  • 0-1,000 ohm position feedback
  • Manual pushbutton control for CW and CCW
