ML6284 NON-SPRING RETURN DIRECT COUPLED DAMPER ACTUATOR

IMPORTANT

Actuators driving in parallel may not be synchronized

with each other. In normal operation, when all

actuators are driven to the fully open or fully closed

position, the actuators are again synchronized.

OPERATION

The ML6284 Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled Damper

Actuator is designed to be used in ventilating and air

conditioning installations to operate dampers, ventilation flaps

and louvers requiring up to 150 lb-in. torque.

The ML6284 Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled Damper

Actuator is operated by an spdt floating controller. When using

an spdt floating controller, the actuator is driven toward its fully

open (clockwise

) position when the controller makes B

contact and toward the fully closed (counterclockwise

)

position when the controller makes W contact. It stops when

neither contact is made.

IMPORTANT

The ML6284 can operate with DDC controller that

emulates an spdt break-before-make switch. Do not

short-cycle the actuator. Short-cycling of the actuator

can cause premature failure.

The actuator has a position indicator to show shaft position.

As the indicator moves with the shaft, it gives an angular

representation of the damper position. There are four distinct

positions where the indicator can be placed. The indicator can

be removed (by first removing the output hub) to provide

proper damper position indication. The indicator can be

indexed to show cw or ccw open or closed, using the detents

that are 90° apart. See Fig. 3.

The ML6284D and ML6284F models provide a time-out

function that removes power from the actuator submotor if the

actuator remains in the fully open or fully closed position for

longer than a nominal five minutes. This time-out function

helps to extend actuator life.
