Mounting Positions

Figure 2. Acceptable NEMA 2-Positions for Single and

Tandem Applications.

Figure 3. NEMA 3R Rating with the ASK75.1U Weather

Shield in This Mounting Position Only.

The GBB/GIB actuator is UL listed to meet NEMA 3R

requirements (a degree of protection against rain, sleet,

and damage from external ice formation) when installed

with the weather shield, product number ASK75.1U and

outdoor-rated conduit fittings. The GBB/GIB must be in the

vertical position.

Prerequisite

The actuator is shipped from the factory with a 5° pre-load

to ensure tight close-off of the damper. To release the pre-

load, press the PUSH button before mounting the

actuator.

Installation

WARNING:

Do not open the actuator.

1. Place the actuator on the damper shaft with the front

of the actuator accessible. The label and the manual

override button are on the front side.

2. For the 16x series only: Determine the rotation of

the damper shaft. Set the direction of rotation arrow to

match the rotation.

See Figure 7 and Figure 8 for counterclockwise-to-open (CCW) installation. For Tandem Applications • • The direction of rotation switches must be set identically on both actuators according to the clockwise or counterclockwise rotation of the damper shaft. The factory setting is clockwise.

Shaft Adapter Placement for Counterclockwise Rotation on Short and Long Shafts. Figure 8. Mount the Actuator to the Damper Shaft. Figure 9. Attach the Mounting Bracket. NOTE: With an oversized shaft adapter (b’), tighten the middle screw so that the shaft is in the center of the shaft adapter opening. Figure 10.

Document No. 129-417 Installation Instructions April 1, 2020 Clockwise-to-open: Manual Override To move the damper blades without power present, do the following: 1. Hold down the PUSH button. 2. Make adjustments to the damper position. 3. Release the PUSH button. NOTE: a. If there is no load, the actuator will hold the new damper position. If load conditions exist, the actuator might not be able to hold. Once power is restored, the actuator returns to automated control.

Document No. 129-417 Installation Instructions April 1, 2020 WARNING: It is recommended to switch off the power during two-position control when the actuator has reached the open or closed position to enhance life span and reduce power consumption. WARNING: Mixed switch operation is not permitted to the switching outputs of both auxiliary switches (A and B). Figure 16. 6. Attach the clip. 7. Rotate the damper blade shaft to its 0 position. 8.
