Table Of Contents

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.

(Quick-Mounting) “V” Models Valve Cross-Reference MEP-4xxxV actuators have brackets with a patented* quick-mounting mechanism that mounts directly on VFB-43...BC and VFB-46...BC series valve bodies. See the HPO-5074 installation guide and the VEB-43 and VEB-46 series data sheets for additional information. NOTE: “V” actuators were installed in VEB-43... CF, VEB-43...CK, VEB-46...CF, and VEB46...CK valves starting in mid-June 2011 (date codes 11166 and later).
