Modulating Run Mode
If the function selection switch has been set to one of the four
positions (2-10V, 0-10V/Dir, 10-0V/Rev, 10-2V) – and the
actuator is wired as modulating mode (see A1) – as soon as
operating power is applied, the actuator will run according to
the control signals applied. If terminal 5 is also wired, the
actuator will output the voltage feedback signal(0/2-10V)
proportional to actuator’s actual position. Alternatively, if
Fig.3. Function selection switch terminal 4 is wired and powered on, actuator will override the
control signal and immediately come to a position of 0% of
max. stroke.
Power-Off Behavior
If power is removed, the actuator retains its position. Table 1 describes the actuator behavior (stops, rotates CCW,
or rotates CW) for the floating mode in relation to the control
signals applied to terminals 3 and 4 and to the function
Service/Off selection switch setting.
If the function selection switch is set to the "Service/Off"
position, all rotary movement is cancelled, and all control Table 2 describes the actuator behavior (stops, rotates CCW,
signals are ignored, thus allowing the actuator to be safely or rotates CW) for the 2-position mode in relation to the

• the control signal’s value rises up into the upper dead
band (i.e to more than the max. control signal minus
0.14V) or drops down into the lower dead band (i.e to less
than the min. control signal plus 0.14V), and if the shaft

mechanical end limit at least 3 seconds, the actuator will
recognize the new position automatically, and auto-
adaption is happened (see Fig. 4).

current position of shaft adapter (% of max. stroke)

An override is a condition in which a 24 V signal is applied to

terminal 4 of an actuator in the modulating mode, thus
causing the actuator to ignore the control signal at terminal 3,
whereupon it will instead move to a position of 0% of its
maximum stroke. It would be the most left side [0/2~10V
mode] or most right side [10~0/2 V mode] (see Table 3).

Feedback
If correspondingly wired (see A1), the actuator provides, via
terminal 5, a feedback signal(0/2~10V) proportional to the
actual position of the actuator (see Fig. 5).

Adaption
Adaption is a function in which the actuator re-maps its feed-
back signal and control signal in accordance with repositioned
mechanical end limits (see Fig.6) and thus recognizes their
new positions.

Limitation of Rotation Stroke
Two mechanical end limits (adjustable in 5° increments) are
provided to limit the angle of rotation as desired (see Fig.9).

Fig. 11. Mounting for IP54

Mounting Bracket and Screws

If the actuator is to be mounted directly on a damper shaft,
Fig.9. Mechanical end limits use the mounting bracket and screws included in the delivery
package.
The mechanical end limits must be securely fastened in place.
It is important that they properly mesh with the rotational Self-Centering Shaft Adapter
angle scales when the screws are tightened. The self-centering shaft adapter can be used for shafts
having various diameters (10...27 mm [3/8...1-1/16"]) and
Internal End Switches shapes (square or round).
NOTE: Applicable to models with internal switches only.
In the case of short shafts, the shaft adapter may be reversed
and mounted on the duct side.
The internal end switches are set to change from "common"
to "normally open" at angles of 5° and 85°, respectively, from
the totally counterclockwise position.
