INSTALLATION Inspection Inspect the package for damage. If damaged, notify the appropriate carrier immediately. If undamaged, open the package and inspect the device for obvious damage. Return damaged products.
PAGE 6
Dampers The actuator is not position sensitive. It can be mounted in any position in an NEMA Type 1 location. Valves Allow 3" (76 mm) of clearance above the actuator valve assembly for the removal and reattachment of the actuator to the installed valve. 1. Install all two-way valves so that they close against the flow. An arrow on the valve body or tag indicates proper flow direction. 2. Always install three-way mixing valves with two inlets and one outlet. 3.

3. Make the required connections. Refer to Figure-1 or Figure-2 for a wiring diagram of your particular application. Base Knockout Figure-6 Removal of Knockout on Actuator Base. 4. Slip the conduit onto the base, over the ribs. Refer to Figure-7 and Figure-8. Base Cover Plate Ribs or Figure-7 Flexible Conduit Installation to Either Side of Actuator. Line voltage motor leads when connected to circuits other than Class 2.

Installing Conduit Box Onto Actuator Installation of a conduit box allows for the attachment of one or more thin wall conduits to the actuator. This procedure also serves as an optional method for connecting flexible conduit to the actuator. 1. Remove the knockout from the cover plate supplied with the actuator. Refer to Figure-9. Cover Plate Knockout Figure-9 Cover Plate Knockout Removal. 2.

5. Loosely install the conduit box and the locknut onto the conduit bushing. Refer to Figure-12. Conduit Lock Nut Figure-12 Attachment of Conduit Box to Threaded Adaptor. 6. Tighten the locknut as follows: a. Tilt the conduit box approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise, relative to the actuator. b. Finger-tighten the locknut against the conduit box. c. Rotate the conduit box clockwise until it is aligned with the actuator. This will tighten the locknut. 7. Make the required wiring connections.

d. Consider the damper rod length when positioning the actuator in relation to the damper. A damper rod that is too long is not rigid enough to provide good control, while a damper rod that is too short makes adjustment difficult.

a. To achieve 60° of damper rotation, position the crank arm so that it is pointed towards the actuator at 30° from its midstroke position. b. To achieve 90° of damper rotation, position the crank arm so that it is pointed towards the actuator at 45° from its midstroke position. 6. Install the damper rod by sliding one end through the ball joint connector mounted on the damper crank arm, and the other end through the straight connector on the actuator crank arm.
PAGE 13
Caution: Never power the actuator without a spring return linkage attached. Positioning with Controller If the sensed media is within the controller’s setpoint range, the actuator can be positioned by adjusting the controller setpoint up and down. Check for correct operation of the actuator (valve or damper) while the actuator is being stroked. Go, No-Go Test 1. Apply power to the actuator. The actuator motor should run and the actuator shaft should extend. 2. Remove power from the actuator.
PAGE 14
1. Check the actuator by applying the proper supply voltage. 2. The motor should run when power is applied. If it does not run, the actuator is inoperative and should be replaced. 3. While the motor is running, the actuator should extend. If it does not extend, check the mechanical linkage for any damage or misadjustment which could prevent the actuator from extending. If the mechanical linkage is inoperative, adjust the linkage or replace the damaged components, as applicable.
