Manual Override 
To move the damper blades and lock the position with 
no power present, do the following: 
1.  Slide the red manual override knob toward the 
back of the actuator. See figure 9. 
2.  Make adjustments to the damper position. 
3.  Slide the red manual override knob toward the 
front of the actuator. 
Once power is restored, the actuator returns to 
automated control.

Dual Auxiliary Switch Setting 
For GDE/GLB 136x, GDE/GLB164x and 
GDE/GLB166x only. 
Factory setting: A = 5°    B = 85° 
Use a flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the A switch. 
The long arm of the † points to the setting. Manually 
turn the red ring of the B switch. The narrower tab on 
the ring points to the setting. See Figure 10.  
The auxiliary switch setting shafts rotate with the 
actuator. 
NOTE:  The scale is valid only when the actuator is in 
the "0" position on clockwise motion.

Mechanical Range Adjustment 
Figure 11.  Moving the Mechanical Range Stop. 
1.  Loosen the stop set screw.  
2.  Move it along the track to the desired position, and 
fasten it in place. 
Mechanical Range Limitation and 
Self–adapt Feature 
1.  To use the entire 0 to 10V input signal to control 
the adjusted range, raise the tab located on the 
lower left-hand side of the actuator and locate the 
DIP switches. See Figure 12. 
2.  Set the self-adapt DIP switch to   (ON). 
3.  Close the tab over the DIP switches.  
For example, if you set the locking screw at 70° and 
turn the self-adapt switch ON, a 5V input signal will 
drive the damper to 35° (50% of its adjusted range).
