Damper Actuator | 270 in-lb | Spg Rtn | 24V | Modulating

Application

For fail-safe, modulating 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 up to 1.05” in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft. The actuator operates in response to a DC 2...10 Vor, with the addition of a 500Ω resistor, a 4...20 mA control input from an electronic controller or positioner. A DC 2...10 V feedback signal is provided for position indication.

A common installation technique for control of multi-section dampers is to use the U5 position feedback of one actuator (Master) to control multiple actuators (Slaves). Belimo refers to this as Master/Slave control. The only requirement is that the actuators are installed on MECHANICALLY SEPARATE damper shafts.

Operation

The EF..24-SR series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable failsafe application and positive close off on air tight dampers. The spring return system provides constant torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator. The EF..24-SR series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°. The EF..24- SR uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the intelligence to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate and to know the actuator’s exact fail-safe position. The ASIC monitors and controls the brushless DC motor’s rotation and provides a digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the actuator in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of mechanical end switches. The EF..24-SR actuator is shipped at 5° (5° from full fail-safe) to provide automatic compression against damper gaskets for tight shut-off.

Installation Note: Use flexible metal conduit. Push the UL listed conduit fitting device over the actuator’s cable to butt against the enclosure. Screw in conduit connector. Jacket the actuator’s input wiring with UL listed flexible conduit. Properly terminate the conduit in a suitable junction box.
