Mounting Actuator Onto Damper Shaft - Honeywell Spyder 7 Installation Instructions Manual

SPYDER MODEL 7 VAV CONTROLLER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE:
Mount the actuator flush with damper housing or
add a spacer between the actuator mounting sur-
face and damper box housing.

Shaft
The Spyder Model 7 VAV controllers can be mounted in
any orientation. Mount them in a position that allows
access to the service button and clearance for wiring,
servicing, and removing BACnet wiring.

NOTE:
The controller is not position sensitive and can be
mounted sideways or upside down. Use the drill-
ing template provided in the box.
The Spyder Model 7 VAV controller's integral actu-
ator does not float inside the housing therefore it
should be installed with a floating mount to allow
for non-concentric travel, which can occur with
damper shafts that are out-of-round and / or
have asymmetrical damper shaft mounts.
If the actuator does not allow any wobble, it is
likely to bind. To prevent this, when installing the
Spyder Model 7 VAV controllers, install it over the
damper shaft and then slide the anti-rotation
bracket underneath and into the mounting slot
but not at the very end of the slot.
Screw the anti-rotation bracket using screws on
the controller.
Tools Required
• Phillips #2 screwdriver for end-limit set screw
adjustment
• 8 mm wrench for centering clamp
The actuator mounts directly onto the VAV box damper
shaft and has up to 44 in-lb. (5 Nm) torque, 90-degree
stroke, and 108 second timing at 50 Hz and 90 second
timing at 60 Hz.
The actuator is shipped with two mechanical end limit
set screws to control the amount of rotation from 12 ° to
95 °. These set screws must be securely fastened in
place. To ensure tight closing of the damper, the shaft
adapter has a total rotation stroke of 95 °.

NOTE:
The actuator is shipped with the mechanical end-
limit set screws set to 95 ° of rotation.
Adjust the two set screws closer together to
reduce the rotation travel. Each "hash mark" indi-
