Installation Instructions
Mechanical Installation
Manual Override
The AF series actuators can be manually positioned to ease installation or for
emergency positioning.
1. The manual override will only work if no power is available to the actuator.
2. Insert the manual crank (shipped with the actuator) into the hexagon hole located
on either side of the actuator. An illustration, located on the label, shows the
location.
3. Turn the crank in the direction shown on the label (clockwise on the “CW” side,
counterclockwise on the “CCW” side). It will take approximately 19 revolutions to
rotate the full 95° of rotation.
4. To lock the actuator in the required position, rotate the crank quickly in the opposite
direction, 1/2 of a revolution. The “lock closed” icon on the label shows the correct
direction.
5. The manual override may be disengaged in 2 ways.
- Rotate the crank about a 1/4 revolution in the same direction as the initial
winding. The “lock open” icon shows the correct direction.
- Apply power to wire 1 and 2. The actuator will automatically disengage the
override function and will go to the “on” position in the case of the On/Off
versions. Or, in the case of the proportional versions, go to the 0 signal
position and then go to the position corresponding to the control signal. The
actuator will now work normally.
Winding the
damper actuator
- insert crank handle
- turn handle in direction
of arrow
Locking the
damper actuator
- rotate crank handle 1/2
turn in the direction
shown by the “locked”
icon.
Unlocking the
damper actuator
(2 options)
- rotate crank handle 1/4
turn in the direction
shown by the
“unlocked” icon.
- remote control by
supplying power to the
unit for > than 3 sec.
Testing the Installation Without Power
The actuator/damper installation may be tested without power at the actuator. Refer
to the manual positioning section of the instructions. Move the damper to its full
non-fail-safe position using the manual crank. Disengage the manual position
mechanism and have the damper go to full fail-safe position. Correct any
mechanical problems and retest.
Auxiliary Switches
The AF series actuators may be ordered with 2 built-in SPDT auxiliary switches used
for safety interfacing or signalling, for example, for fan start-up. The switch position
near the fail-safe position is fixed at 5°. The other is adjustable between 25 and 85°
of rotation. The crank, supplied with the actuator, or a 3mm allen wrench is used to
adjust the switching position.

120 VAC 7A 5A
250 VAC 7A 2.5A
Two methods may be used to adjust the switching point of the adjustable switch.
Method 1 - See Figure F
1 The actuator must be in its fail-safe position.
2. Insert the crank into the hexagon shaped hole located in the center of the
adjustable switch pointer.
3. Rotate the crank until the switch pointer is at the desired switch point in degrees
as shown.

Method 2 - See Figure G
1. Position the damper to the point at which you want the switch to activate. This
may be done by using the manual override or by providing the appropriate
proportional signal to AF24… modulating type actuator. The position of the
switch pointer is not important during this step.
2. Insert the crank into the hexagon shaped hole located in the center of the
adjustable switch pointer.
3. Rotate the switch pointer to just past the switch point indicating arrow as shown.
