Electrical actuator GIRA 216900, 230 V, IP54 protection, white

The GIRA 216900 electrical actuator is a thermal servo designed to operate heating valves and dampers in single-room control and building automation. It runs on 230 V (50/60 Hz) and has IP54 protection against dust and water splashes. Finished in white with a compact form factor, the actuator provides a clear status display indicating open or closed positions and includes a first-open function to simplify installation and commissioning.

Advantages

The actuator offers motorised, reliable valve and damper control with protection suitable for indoor installations where some exposure to dust and splashes may occur. Its status display makes it easy to verify valve position at a glance, and the first-open function streamlines mounting and start-up. The device returns to the closed position when de-energised, providing a defined fail-safe behaviour.

Suitable for

• Single-room heating valve control in residential or commercial spaces
• Motorised actuation of dampers in HVAC systems
• Integration into building automation and control systems requiring 230 V actuators

When it may not be suitable

This actuator is intended for applications with 230 V supply and moderate environmental exposure; it is not designed for fully outdoor or harsh industrial environments where higher protection ratings are required. It may be unsuitable where low-voltage actuation or highly specialised valve interfaces are needed.

Key specifications

• Supply voltage: 230 V, 50/60 Hz
• Protection rating: IP54 (protection against dust and splashes)
• Colour/finish: white
• Function: thermal/electrical actuator for valves and dampers
• Position indicator: status display for open/closed
• Fail-safe position: closed when de-energised
• Installation feature: first-open function for easy commissioning

How to use

Mount the actuator on a compatible valve adapter system and connect to the 230 V supply and the control wiring following applicable electrical and safety standards. Use the first-open function during initial installation to set the actuator travel correctly. Verify the status display to confirm open or closed valve position. Commission the actuator within the building automation system according to the system documentation.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure compatibility with your valve adapter system and existing mounting accessories
• Confirm the available supply is 230 V (50/60 Hz)
• Assess environmental conditions to confirm IP54 protection is adequate

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, install the actuator in accordance with local electrical codes and the valve manufacturer’s instructions, perform a first-open commissioning step, and periodically check the status display and mechanical mounting for proper function.
