WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Can cause severe injury, death or property

damage.

Disconnect power before installation to prevent

electrical shock or equipment damage.

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard.

Can cause equipment damage or failure.

1. Never turn motor output hub by hand or wrench.

2. Do not install actuator in areas with acid fumes or

other deteriorating vapors that might attack the

metal parts of the actuator.

WARNING

Fire or Explosion Hazard.

Can cause severe injury, death or property

damage.

Do not install actuator in areas with escaping gas or

other explosive vapors that could be ignited by a spark

from the actuator or attached accessories.

Location

Install the actuator in any location free from acid fumes or

other deteriorating vapors that might attack the metal parts of

the actuator. Make sure the location is not subject to escaping

gas or other explosive vapors that could accidentally be

ignited by a spark from the actuator or its attached parts.

Install the actuator in a location that allows enough clearance

for mounting accessories and for servicing.

Mounting

The ML6284 Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled Damper

Actuator is designed to operate a damper by driving the

damper shaft either cw

or ccw

depending on

damper design. All actuators are shipped in the fully closed

position.

The ML6284 Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled Damper

Actuator is designed with removable hub inserts to

accommodate specific damper shaft sizes. Proper sleeve

selection is necessary when three-point mounting is used to

avoid excessive strain on the output gear. Most ML6284

Actuators are shipped with a 1/2 in. hub insert. For field use,

two hub insert sizes are available. See the Accessories listing

in the Specifications section. Shaft sizes are stamped on the

inserts.

The ML6284 Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled Damper

Actuator is designed for single-point mounting when using a

mounting bracket. Single-point mounting is typically used

when the actuator is mounted on the damper shaft.

The ML6284 Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled Damper

Actuator can be mounted directly on the damper shaft with the

actuator in any position.

A mounting bracket (see Fig. 1) is provided with some models

to aid in installing the actuator. The bracket can be bent to any

shape to allow the bracket tab to be centered in the actuator

slot.

CAUTION

Equipment Damage Hazard.

Improper mounting can damage the equipment or

interfere with proper operation.

The mounting bracket must not bind or clamp the

actuator to the duct. The mounting bracket only

prevents the actuator housing from rotating.

The ML6284 Direct Coupled Damper Actuator has a

reversible output hub. The hub is factory mounted on the top

of the actuator gear housing. When attaching to damper

shafts less than 2.5 in. (64 mm) long, or for ease of mounting,

the output hub may be mounted to the back of the actuator

gear housing. See Fig. 3. Be careful when removing the

retaining ring which secures the output hub sleeve to the

actuator housing. Use a flat headed screwdriver to pry the

retaining ring loose.
