Warning/Caution Notations

WARNING:

Personal injury or loss of life

may occur if you do not follow

a procedure as specified.

CAUTION:

Equipment damage or loss of

data may occur if you do not

follow a procedure as

specified.

Instructions

WARNING:

Do not open the actuator.

NOTE: Place the actuator on the damper shaft so

that the front of the actuator is accessible.

The label is on the front side.

1. Determine whether the damper blades will rotate

clockwise or counterclockwise to open. See

Figure 2.

2. If the blades will rotate counterclockwise, slide the

manual override switch to manual, and move the

adjustment lever to the right. Return the switch to

automatic. See Figure 9.

To mount a (modulating) GDE/GLB16x, set the Dual

In-line Package (DIP) switches to the required

positions.

1. To access the DIP switches, raise the tab on the

lower left side of the actuator. See Figure 2. The

factory setting is clockwise (middle switch), with a

direct-acting feedback signal (right switch).

2. Close the tab over the DIP switches.

To mount a (3-position) GDE/GLB13x for counter-

clockwise rotation, follow the Counterclockwise

Damper Rotation instructions located in the Wiring

Diagrams section when wiring the actuator to the

controller.

Document No. 129-367 Installation Instructions May 13, 2021 Wiring All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations. Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2 transformers. Do not use autotransformers. Determine the supply transformer rating by summing total VA of all actuators used. It is recommended that one transformer power no more than 10 actuators. Figure 12.
