Safety notes
• The actuator is not allowed to be used outside the specified field of application,

! especially in aircraft or in any other airborne means of transport.

• Caution: Power supply voltage!
• The actuator is adapted and mounted to the fire and smoke damper by the damper
manufacturer. For this reason, the actuator is only supplied direct to safety damper
manufacturers. The manufacturer then bears full responsibility for the proper
functioning of the damper.
• The device may only be opened at the manufacturer's site. It does not contain any
parts that can be replaced or repaired by the user.
• The device contains electrical and electronic components and is not allowed to be
disposed of as household refuse. All locally valid regulations and requirements must
be observed.

Product features
Mode of operation The actuator moves the damper to the operating position at the same time as
tensioning the return spring. The damper is turned back to the safety position by spring
energy when the supply voltage is interrupted.
Signalling Two microswitches with fixed settings are installed in the actuator for indicating the
damper end positions.
The position of the damper blade can be read off on a mechanical position indicator.
Manual operation Without power supply, the damper can be operated manually and fixed in any required
position. It can be unlocked manually or automatically by applying the supply voltage.
