Damper Maintenance
Dampers do not typically require maintenance as long as they are kept dry and clean. If cleaning is necessary, use mild
detergents or solvents. If lubrication is desired for components such as axle bearings, jackshaft bearings and jamb
seals, do not use oil-based lubricants or any other lubricants that attract contaminants such as dust.
Dampers and their actuator(s) must be maintained, cycled, and tested a minimum in accordance with:
• The latest editions of NFPA 80, 90A, 92A, 92B, 101, 105, UL864, AMCA 503-03 and local codes.
• Actuator manufacturer recommendations.
Damper Troubleshooting
The following is a possible cause and correction list for common concerns with the dampers.
Sympton
Damper does not
fully open and/or
close
RRL or TOR sensor
tripped
Damper does not
operate

Duct End
Flange
Corner Piece
Possible Cause
Frame is 'racked' causing blades
to bind on jamb seals
Actuator linkage loose
Defective motor
Screws in damper linkage
Contaminants on damper
Heat
No power supplied to the actuator

3/8 in. bolt
(optional)
Adjust frame such that it is square and plumb
Close damper, disconnect power, adjust and
tighten linkage
Replace
Damper installed too far into wall. Move out
to line as designated on damper label
