Product Overview

Description and Application
These compact but powerful, direct-coupled (non-
fail-safe) ControlSet
®
actuators provide tri-state/two-
position or proportional control for small dampers
or valves in HVAC systems. A minimum torque of
40 (MEP-40xx) or 80 (MEP-48xx) in-lb. is available
over the 95° angular rotation.
MEP-4xx2 proportional models accept a 2–10 or
0–10 VDC control signal input from a thermostat or
controller. Anti-jier” circuitry signicantly re-
duces hunting and needless wear (from unnecessary
miniscule position changes caused by undamped
analog input signals) on the actuator and valve
packing or damper components. A user-initiated,
auto-mapping feature provides more precise equip-
ment control by reassigning the input signal range
(and feedback signal) over a reduced rotation range
(from 45° to 95°). These models also feature a switch-
selectable, 1–5 or 2–10 (or 0–5 or 0–10) VDC voltage
feedback output that is proportional to the actuator
position.
MEP-4xx1/4xx3 tri-state/two-position (three-wire)
models are designed for use with oating thermo-
stats, controllers, or building automation systems.
The MEP-4x13 models feature a 10K ohm (± 10%),
three-wire potentiometer feedback output. (The
tri-state MEP-4003/4003V do not have two-position
functionality or the larger green top enclosure.)
MEP-4x21/4x22 models also have a fully adjustable,
built-in SPDT auxiliary switch, for remote position
indication or controller and equipment interface.
MEP-4001V/4002V/4003V actuators have brackets
with a patented quick-mounting mechanism. See
(Quick-Mounting) “V” Models Valve Cross-Refer-
ence on page 4 for more information.
All other actuators mount directly to 1/4- to 5/8-
inch (6 to 16 mm) round shafts or 1/4- to 7/16-inch
(6 to 11 mm) square shafts, eliminating the need for
expensive and complicated linkages. A non-rotation
bracket, to prevent lateral movement, is included
with each actuator. A gear disengagement buon
allows manual positioning of the actuator.
NOTE: For similar actuators with fail-safe, see the
MEP-4200/4500/4900 Series Data Sheet.
