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.
