Multi-Function Technology® Operation Running Time Motion Parameter Variables Description New Generation AF 70 to 220 seconds New Generation NF 40 to 220 seconds AF / NF / LF / TF 75 to 300 seconds GM 75 to 300 seconds Running time is selectable allowing for customizing the actuator for the application at hand. Adjustable running time allows for: • Matching HVAC system sequence of operation. • Improving control loop stability. • Reducing actuating noise (slower running).
PAGE 15
Multi-Function Technology® Operation Motion Parameter Variables Description Adaptation OFF When the manual override button is depressed, and released, the actuator will perform synchronization. The actuator will simply drive to the mechanical zero position and return to its last control position. ON – Manual The default setting for adaptation is “ON – Manual”. When the ON-Manual setting is selected, adaptation is initiated by: •Pressing the manual override button once (GM / AM / NM / LM).

Multi-Function Technology® Specifications/Descriptions Specifications Parameter Variables Description Alarms - Fault A fixed voltage of 8.5 VDC is present when Alarm ‘sounds’. Hunting Alarm criteria: Actuator is hunting due to unstable control loop. This fault occurs when the ratio of Active time to Operating time exceeds 20%. Operating time: Total number of hours connected to power supply Active time: Total number of hours the actuator is in mechanical motion.

Multi-Function Technology® Wiring WARNING The wiring technician must be trained and experienced with electronic circuits. Disconnect power supply before attempting any wiring connections or changes. Make all connections in accordance with wiring diagrams and follow all applicable local and national codes. Provide disconnect and overload protection as required. Use copper, twisted pair, conductors only. If using electrical conduit, the attachment to the actuator must be made with flexible conduit.
PAGE 19
Multi-Function Technology® Wiring W048_08 ATTENTION Master-Slave is the correct method for wiring multiple Belimo MFT actuators to a single load. For example, you can have up to three AFX24-MFT on a single damper jackshaft or two GMX24-MFT on a large butterfly valve. The current Belimo solution is to mount multiple actuators onto the damper or valve. In the past this required the installer to wire the actuators in a “masterslave” arrangement. This was typical for the AF24-SR US actuator.

PC-Tool User Manual for SY-MFT Series Actuators 1 Introduction This user manual describes the detail area for valves using SY actuators. The documentation is divided according to the three tabs "Service", "Configuration" and "Simulation". In April 2008, Belimo launched the new SY-MFT to replace its existing proportional actuator the SYx-P. The new electronics, designed by Belimo's engineering group, was an extension of the new generation non-spring actuator platform successfully launched years prior.
