Application
For modulation or on-off control of dampers in HVAC systems.
Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper
manufacturer's specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft from 3/8"
up to 1/2" in diameter by means of its universal clamp, 1/2"
shaft centered at delivery. For shafts up to 3/4" use K6-1
accessory. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are
available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct
coupled to the damper shaft.
Control is floating point from a triac or relay, or on-off from an
auxiliary contact from a fan motor contactor, controller, or
manual switch.
Operation
The LF series actuators provide true spring return operation for
reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides consistent torque
to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The LF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a
graduated position indicator showing 0 to 95°.
The LF24-3 (-S) US uses a brushless DC motor which is con-
trolled by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a
microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the intelligence to
the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate. The ASIC monitors
and controls the brushless DC motor's rotation and provides a
digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the actua-
tor in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in
its normal rotation without the need of mechanical end switches.
Power consumption is reduced in holding mode.
The LF24-3-S US version is provided with 1 built-in auxiliary
switch. This SPDT switch is provided for safety interfacing or
signaling, for example, for fan start-up. The switching function
is adjustable between 0° and 95°. The auxiliary switch in the
LF24-3-S US is double insulated so an electrical ground is not
necessary.

  • Page 7 Installation Instructions ® Auxiliary Switches The …-S model actuators are equipped with an adjustable auxiliary switch used to indicate damper position or to inter- face additional controls or equipment. Switching positions can be set over the full 0 to 95° rotation simply by setting a switch on the actuator.

  • Page 9: Startup And Checkout

    • If multiple transformers are used with one control signal, make sure all No. 1 wires are tied together and tied to control signal negative (-). • Controllers and actuators must have separate 24 VAC/VDC power sources. Note 2 If failure occurs within 5 years from original installation date, notify Belimo and give details of the application.
