I'm needing to replace a Drayton Mid Position valve Actuator, code MA1. The failed one is 3-wire (red, green, black) but all the new ones I've found advertised are 5-wire (yet the cover data plates are identical!).

Question is - can I replace the 3-wire actuator with a 5-wire, and if so how should I wire it? Or are 3-wire versions available?

Thanks!
