capable of both clockwise and counterclockwise operation.
All non-spring return actuators shall hold position in the
event of a power failure. All modulating actuators shall return
to the 0 position in the event only the control signal is lost. All
actuators shall provide a means of manually positioning the
output coupling in the absence of power. Dual independently
adjustable auxiliary switches must be integral to the actuator.
All actuators must provide an easily readable high contrast
