    Overload protection In the event of a blockage in the damper, the actuator is overload protected over the full range to prevent damage to the actuator. Life expectancy An improperly tuned loop will cause excessive repositioning that will shorten the life of the actuator. Page 6 Siemens Industry, Inc.
  • Page 7: Mounting And Installation

    The shaft adapter and mounting parts are shipped in a separate container with the actuator. • The actuator is shipped from the factory with a 5° pre-load to ensure tight damper close off. • Detailed mounting instructions are included with each actuator. Siemens Industry, Inc. Page 7...

  • Page 15: Troubleshooting

    If the actuator is not working, check the damper for blockage. If blocked, remove the obstacle and cycle the actuator power off and on. The actuator should resume normal operating mode.
