Strain Relief 
Figure 20. 
Securing the wires/cabling will prevent 
breakage and ensure strong signals to the 
GDE131.1T model. The following is 
recommended: 
1.  The open bracket to the right of the 
actuator terminal strip is the strain 
relief for the customer provided control 
wires. 
2.  Secure the wires to the actuator 
bracket with a cable tie as shown in 
XFigure 19X.

•   All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations. 
•  Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2 transformers. Do not use 
autotransformers. 
•  Determine the supply transformer rating by summing the total VA of all 
actuators used. It is recommended that one transformer power no more than 12 
actuators. 
Direction of Damper Rotation 
To change the direction of rotation of the GDE131.1N, switch the Y1 and Y2 wires at 
the controller.  
NOTE:  This rotation will affect all actuators in the daisy chain configuration.

NOTE: 
You must select 
either the top 3 
contacts or the 
bottom 3 contacts.
