    Autoflame trained and certified technician. Any person installing, wiring, commissioning or adjusting the servomotors without undergoing proper Autoflame training and without full understanding of the Micro Modulation MM system might put themselves and others in a seriously dangerous situation that can result in serious injury or even death and may cause permanent equipment failure and substantial property damage.
  • Page 6: Autoflame Servomotors

    Autoflame offers three standard types of servomotors; small, large and industrial, each of which can be used for all control channels. Autoflame fuel and FGR valves require small or large servomotors only. All servomotors can be configured to drive clockwise or counterclockwise to open/close a valve or damper.
  • Page 7: Servomotor Sizes

    With Autoflame supplied valves, the correct servomotor size is already specified by Autoflame. To correctly size an Autoflame servomotor for use with a third party valve or damper, the torque required to drive that valve or damper should be checked. This is in order to select a servomotor with sufficient torque to drive the damper reliably.
  • Page 8: Small Servomotors

    Small Servomotors SMALL SERVOMOTORS Small servomotors provide a maximum torque of up to 4Nm, they are compact, lightweight, extremely durable and can be used for variety of applications including controlling air dampers, gas and oil fuel valves. The housing is made from high impact Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) for lighter weight and easier installation.

    Figure 1 Mechanical Construction The Autoflame 4-20mA Servomotors come from the factory set to 230V input and with the drive shaft set to operate in a clockwise direction from a horizontal starting position when viewed from the bottom as shown in Figure 1 above.
  • Page 17 4-20mA Small and Large Servomotors To change the required voltage, the Mains Select switch is toggled (see Figure 2). Ensure that the correct voltage is selected before applying mains voltage. Note that applying 230V with the switch set to 110V will cause the mains fuse on the unit to blow.
  • Page 18 4-20mA Small and Large Servomotors Figure 4 - Calibration Mode Whilst in CAL mode, the DIR switch may be changed to alter the direction of rotation. The unit will rotate 90° clockwise, or anti-clockwise from the start position for the two positions of the DIR switch.
  • Page 19 4-20mA Small and Large Servomotors Once set up, the unit will drive to a given angle as required by a 4-20mA signal on the Yellow and Green wires, where 4mA represents 0° and 20mA represents 90°. The corresponding 4-20mA angle of the potentiometer is produced on the Red and Blue wires and may be used to monitor that the servomotor is driving to the desired angle by confirming that the feedback control current matches the drive control current.
