OPERATION AND CHECKOUT

Operation

In an operational circuit, a single-pole, single-throw controller

or fan starter (line voltage for Series 41, or low voltage for

Series 81) is wired in series with the motor circuit. When the

controller switch closes, the motor is energized and runs to

the end of its stroke. At this point, the internal motor limit

switch opens, de-energizing the motor. The brake solenoid is

energized, however, and remains so as long as the controller

is closed. The brake holds the motor in the energized position

until the controller opens. At this point, the brake is released

and the spring returns it to the starting position.

Checkout

After the installation is complete, check the entire system for

the following points of operation:

• Motor operates the load properly.

• Motor responds properly to the controller.

• Motor returns to starting position when power is interrupted.

Damper Application

1. Check the entire motor-damper linkage to ensure that

the mechanical connections are secure and properly

made. Be certain the ball joint on the damper crank arm

is properly placed to give the required amount of travel.

2. Energize the motor and run it to the end of its stroke.

Check the damper linkage while the motor is running to

see that there are no loose or binding connections.

3. If the motor does not run, check the control circuit for an

open or short, the presence of power, and voltage at the

motor. Voltage at the motor must be at least 85 percent

of the rated voltage (specified on nameplate.) Ensure

that the maximum motor net load is not exceeded.

4. Interrupt the power to de-energize the motor and allow

the spring to return the motor to the starting position. If

the motor does not return, check to ensure that power is

actually interrupted and that the return load is not

exceeding the rated motor load.
