Shipping and Handling

1. This actuator is shipped in the FULLY CW (position indicator shows "CLOSE") position.
2. NOTE, THIS ACTUATOR MUST HAVE WATER TIGHT EMT FITTINGS, WITH
CONDUIT DRAINAGE INSTALLED AND POWER SUPPLIED TO UNIT TO
KEEP THE HEATER WARM AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION.
3. Storage: This unit should NOT be stored outside unless it is powered up
and has proper conduit terminations. When NOT powered up, it should be
stored in a clean, dry environment at all times.
4. This actuator has been factory calibrated to operate between 0 degrees and
90 degrees. Most quarter-turn products will not require recalibration of
these settings. If any travel adjustment is necessary, please refer to pages 7 &
8 for instructions.
5. The actuator CANNOT operate with a rotation greater than 90 degrees.

Product Mounting and Setup

1. Fully CLOSE the valve or damper to which the actuator is to be mounted.
• Keep in mind this actuator output shaft rotates CW (as viewed from
above the unit) when driving CLOSED.
2. Assemble necessary linkage components and attach the actuator to the driven
device.
3. Tighten mounting bolts, making sure actuator is centered on the device drive shaft.
4. Utilize the manual override (5mm hex key output drive on side of the actuator) to check for unobstructed manual
operation from fully CW to fully CCW positions BEFORE applying power to the unit.
Warning: DO NOT operate manual override when power is present. Geartrain damage
and personal injury may occur.
Do not use powered tools to turn the manual override -- it will DAMAGE the gear train or
motor and VOID the warranty.
5. Make the electrical connections per wiring diagram on page 4.
• Connect HOT and NEUTRAL to terminals marked 5 & 4 respectively.
• Actuator accepts a 4-20mA (default), 2-10VDC, or 1-5VDC signal.
• Connect control wires to the control card terminals marked 6 (COM) and 7 (+IN). The positive wire MUST connect
to terminal 7 or the controller will not function.
• Wires may be connected to terminals marked 11 (COM) and 12 (+OUT) for remote position indication.
• Terminals A-F on the switch card are for the (adjustable) aux switches. They are dry type Form C rated 3A @
250vac MAX.
• The drain wire on the signal cables must be grounded at ONE END ONLY! (Preferably at the supply end).
6. Do NOT apply power at this time.

Installation Notes

• There are no mechanical stops on this model.
• These actuators are designed to be used between a horizontal and upright position. Do NOT mount the assembly with
the actuator top below a horizontal position.
• When installing conduit, use proper techniques for entry into the actuator. Use drip loops to prevent conduit condensate
from entering the actuator.
• Both NPT conduit ports MUST use proper equipment to protect the NEMA 4X integrity of the housing.
• The internal heater is to be used in ALL applications.
• Do NOT install the actuator outdoors or in humid environments unless it is powered up and the heater is functioning.
• Use proper wire size to prevent actuator failure (see chart on page 4 for proper wire sizing).
• All terminals accept 14-18AWG solid/stranded wire.
