Applications
The M9208-GGx-x Series Proportional Electric Spring
Return Actuators are direct-mount actuators that
operate on AC/DC 24 V power. These bidirectional
actuators do not require a damper linkage, and are
easily installed on round shafts from
5/16 to 5/8 in. (8 to 16 mm) or square shafts from
1/4 to 1/2 in. (6 to 12 mm) using the standard shaft
clamp included with the actuator. An optional
M9208-600 Large Coupler Kit is available for round
shafts from 1/2 to 3/4 in. (12 to 19 mm) or square
shafts from 3/8to9/16in.(10to14mm).
A single M9208-GGx-x Series Proportional Electric
Spring Return Actuator provides 70 lb·in. (8 N·m)
running and spring return torque. Integral line voltage
auxiliary switches, available only on the M9208-xxC-3
models, indicate end-stop position, or perform
switching functions within the selected rotation range.
M9208-GGA-2 actuators include plenum-rated cables
and are specially configured for installation in spaces
used for environmental air-handling purposes other
than ducts and plenums as specified in National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 70: National Electrical
Code section 300.22(C), Other Space Used for
Environmental Air. The space over a hung ceiling used
for environmental air handling purposes is an example
of the type of space for which these actuators are
configured.
Installation
The M9208-GGx-x Series Proportional Electric Spring
Return Actuators mount directly to the surface in any
convenient orientation using two No. M3.5 x 9.5 mm
self-drilling sheet metal screws and the anti-rotation
bracket (parts included with the actuator). No additional
linkages or couplers are required. Electrical
connections are color-coded and identified with
numbers permanently marked on the actuator cable. A
tag on the actuator cable identifies the electrical
connections and wiring details are included on the
actuator housing.

IMPORTANT: Use this M9208-GGx-x Series
Proportional Electric Spring Return Actuator only to
control equipment under normal operating
conditions. Where failure or malfunction of the
electric actuator could lead to personal injury or
property damage to the controlled equipment or
other property, additional precautions must be
designed into the control system. Incorporate and
maintain other devices, such as supervisory or
alarm systems or safety or limit controls, intended to
warn of or protect against failure or malfunction of
the electric actuator.
IMPORTANT: Before specifying M9208-GGx-x
Series Proportional Electric Spring Return Actuators
for plenum applications, verify acceptance of
exposed plastic materials in plenum areas with the
local building authority. Building codes for plenum
requirements vary by location. Some local building
authorities accept compliance to UL 1995, Heating
and Cooling Equipment, while others use different
acceptance criteria.
IMPORTANT: Do not install or use this
M9208-GGx-x Series Proportional Electric Spring
Return Actuators in or near environments where
corrosive substances or vapors could be present.
Exposure of the electric actuator to corrosive
environments may damage the internal components
of the device, and will void the warranty.
