Why Belimo?
A CLOSER LOOK…
Features and Benefits
Brushless DC Motor Technology
Belimo new generation actuators all employ
state-of-the-art halomo sensorless, brushless DC
motor technology. The halomo technology was
developed exclusively by Belimo’s Technology
division and enables Trane to offer the high quality
of brushless DC motor technology inside all actuator
models in the new generation.
With the increase in product lifespan and quality
the TLM series creates a new level of expectation
for actuators installed in VAV applications.
● Only ONE moving part!
● No brushes to wear out
● Position feedback is generated by ASIC
● Overload proof; uses integrated end stop filtering
DC motor increases actuator life span
and reliability & provides constant
running time (most actuators).
● Cut labor costs with simple direct
coupling.
● Check damper position easily with
clear position indication.
● Overload-proof throughout rotation.
● Temporary restrictions in damper
movement will not change actuator
operation. Actuator returns to normal
operation when restriction is remove.
● Built-in or add-on mechanical stops to
adjust angle of rotation.
● Built-in auxiliary switch is easy to use,
offers feedback or signal for additional
device (-S models).
● Need to change control direction?

The “10 questions” method for sizing and selection is recommended as the best method for your actuation requirements.
Use the ‘Application Data’ column in this chart as a worksheet
to help in the selection process. This data, along with the
‘Actuator Product Range’ charts on pages 2 and 3, allow for the
best selection of a Trane actuator.
Damper with square shape: ft2= h x w /144; (h= high, w= width)
Damper Area (8 ft2) x Rated Torque Loading of Damper (4 in-lb/ft2) = Total in-lb Required (32 in-lb) TLF/TLM 35 in-lb

Control Signal Overview
Trane actuators are compatible with many control inputs. There
are many signals to select from with today’s controllers.
What does ‘on-off’, ‘open-close’, ‘3-point’, ‘tri state’, ‘floating point’,
‘proportional modulation’, mean?
Trane will help you understand more on this control signal
jungle with a quick overview:
On-Off or Open-Close: The actuator is able to drive either to
its full open position, or to its full closed position. The same
indication is used for Spring return type actuators. However the
actuator will drive to its full open position and spring return to its
zero position. This can also be reversed.
3-Point, Tri-state, Floating Point: The actuator has both clockwise (CW) and counter-clockwise (CCW) control inputs. One
drives the actuator to its open, the other to its close position. If
there is no signal (Null point) on either input the actuator simply
stays in its last position.
Proportional Control: The Actuator drives proportional to its
control input and modulates through-out its angle of rotation. This
control type is usually a variation of VDC. Common values are:
0-10 VDC2-10 VDC
It is common to also have a 0-20 mA output from a controller.
This can be very easily converted to 0-10VDC or 2-10 VDC
with a 500Ω resistor.

Torque min. 133 in-lb, for control of air dampers
Application
For on-off, fail-safe control of dampers in HVAC systems.
Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper
manufacturer’s specifications. Control is on-off from an
auxiliary contact, or a manual switch.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05”
in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crankarm and
several mounting brackets are available for applications where
the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft.
Operation
The TAF series actuators provide true spring return operation
for reliable fail-safe application and positive close off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides consistent torque
to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The TAF series provide 95° of rotation and are provided with a
graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°. The TAF has a
unique manual positioning mechanism which allows the setting of any damper position within its 95° of rotation. The TAF
series actuators are shipped at +5° (5° from full fail-safe) to
provide automatic compression against damper gaskets for
tight shut-off. When power is applied to the TAF series, the
manual mechanism is released. The actuators will now try to
close against the 0° position during its normal control operations. The manual override can also be released physically by
the use of a crank supplied with the actuator.
The TAF uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled by an
Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). The ASIC monitors and controls the actuator’s rotation and provides a digital
rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the actuator in
a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its
normal rotation without the need of mechanical end switches.
The TAF24-S version is provided with 2 built in auxiliary
switches. These SPDT switches are provided for safety interfacing or signaling, for example, for fan start-up. The switching
function at the fail-safe position is fixed at +5°, the other switch
function is adjustable between +25° to +85°.

Torque min. 133 in-lb, for control of air dampers
Application
For proportional modulation of dampers in HVAC systems.
Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper
manufacturer’s specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05”
in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crankarm and
several mounting brackets are available for applications where
the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft.
The actuator operates in response to a 2 to 10 VDC, with the
addition of a 500Ω resistor, a 4 to 20 mA control input from an
electronic controller or positioner. A 2 to 10 VDC feedback
signal is provided for position indication or master-slave
applications.
Operation
The TAF series actuators provide true spring return operation
for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides constant torque to
the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The TAF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a
graduated position indicator showing 0 to 95°. The TAF has a
unique manual positioning mechanism which allows the setting of any damper position within its 95° of rotation. The
actuator is shipped at +5° position (5° from full fail-safe) to
provide automatic compression against damper gaskets for
tight shut-off. When power is applied, the manual mechanism
is released and the actuator drives toward the full fail-safe
position. The actuator will memorize the angle where it stops
rotating and use this point for its zero position for its normal
control operations. The manual override can also be released
physically by the use of a crank supplied with the actuator.
The TAF uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled
by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a
microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the intelligence
to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate and to know
the actuator’s exact zero position. The ASIC monitors and
controls the brushless DC motor’s rotation and provides a
digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the
actuator in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled
anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of
mechanical end switches.

Standard Mounting
Mechanical Operation
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05” in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crankarm and
several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft. The TAF
series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight dampers. The
spring return system provides constant torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator. The TAF…-S versions
are provided with 2 built-in auxiliary switches. These SPDT switches are provided for safety interfacing or signaling, for example, for
fan start-up. The switching function at the fail-safe position is fixed at +5°, the other switch function is adjustable between +25° to +85°.
Automatic Airtight Dampers/Manual Override
The TAF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°. The TAF has a
unique manual positioning mechanism which allows the setting of any damper position within its 95° of rotation. A pre-tensioned
spring automatically tightens damper when power is applied to the actuator, compensating for damper seal deterioration. The
actuator is shipped at +5° (5° from full fail-safe) to provide automatic compression against damper gaskets for tight shut-off.
When power is applied, the manual mechanism is released and the actuator drives toward the full fail-safe position.
Note:The TAF…series actuator is shipped with the manual
override adjusted for a +5° position at the universal clamp (not
at full fail-safe, 0° ). This allows for automatic compression of
damper blade seals when the actuator is in use, providing
tight shut-off. This assumes that the damper is to have tight
shut-off at the fail-safe position. If tight close-off is desired at
the opposite direction from fail-safe, the manual override
should be released so the actuator can go to the full fail-safe
position. See the manual override instructions.
1. Manually move the damper to the fail-safe position (usually
closed). If the shaft rotated counterclockwise ( ), this
is a CCW installation. If the shaft rotated clockwise ( ),
this is a CW installation. In a CCW installation, the actuator
side marked “CCW” faces out, while in a CW installation,
the side marked “CW” faces out. All other steps are
identical.
2. The actuator is usually shipped with the universal clamp
mounted to the “CCW” side of the actuator. To test for
Determining Torque Loading and Actuator Sizing
Damper torque loadings, used in selecting the correct size actuator, should be provided by the damper manufacturer.
If this information is not available, the following general selection guidelines can be used.
Damper TypeTorque Loading
Opposed blade, without edge seals, for non-tight close-off applications3 in-lb/sq. ft.
Parallel blade, without edge seals, for non-tight close-off applications4 in-lb/sq. ft.
Opposed blade, with edge seals, for tight close-off applications5 in-lb/sq. ft.
Parallel blade, with edge seals, for tight close-off applications7 in-lb/sq. ft.
The above torque loadings will work for most applications under 2 in. w.g. static pressure or 1000 FPM face velocity. For
applications between this criteria and 3 in. w.g. or 2500 FPM, the torque loading should be increased by a multiplier of 1.5.
If the application calls for higher criteria up to 4 in. w.g. or 3000 FPM, use a multiplier of 2.0.
General Information
Trane actuators should be mounted indoors in a dry, relatively clean environment free from corrosive fumes. If the actuator is to be
mounted outdoors, a protective enclosure must be used to shield the actuator.
For new construction work, order dampers with extended shafts. Instruct the installing contractor to allow space for mounting and
service of the actuator on the shaft. The damper shaft must extend at least 3 1/2" from the duct. If the shaft extends less than
3-1/2" or if an obstruction blocks access, the shaft can be extended with the AV 10-18 shaft extension accessory or the actuator may be
mounted in its short shaft configuration.

Installation Instructions
Mechanical Installation
adequate shaft length, slide the actuator over the shaft
with the side marked “CCW” (or the “CW” side if this is the
side with the clamp). If the shaft extends at least 1/8”
through the clamp, mount the actuator as follows. If not,
go to the Short Shaft Installation section.
Figure A Universal Clamp and IND-AF2 Pointer (optional)
Positions Indicating Fail-Safe and Pre-load Settings
3. If the clamp is not on the correct side as determined in step
#1, re-mount the clamp as follows. If it is on the correct
side, proceed to step #5. Look at the universal clamp. If
you are mounting the actuator with the “CCW” side out,
position the clamp so that the pointer section of the tab is
pointing to 0° (see Fig. C) and the spline pattern of the
clamp mates with spline of the actuator. Slip the clamp
over the spline. (Use the same procedure if the “CW” side is
out.) If your application requires a mechanical minimum
position, read the Rotation Limiting, Mechanical MinimumDamper Position section on page 21.
4. Lock the clamp to the actuator using the retaining clip.
5. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position.
6. Slide the actuator over the shaft.
7. Position the actuator in the desired location.
8. Tighten the two nuts on the clamp using a 10mm wrench
or socket using 6-8 ft-lb of torque.
9. Slip the stud of the anti rotation strap into the slot at the
base of the actuator. The stud should be positioned
approximately 1/16 of an inch from the closed end of the
slot. Bend the strap as needed to reach the duct. Attach
the strap to the duct with #8 self tapping screws.
Short Shaft Installation
If the shaft extends at least 3/4” from the duct, follow these
steps:
1. Determine the best orientation for the universal clamp on
the back of the actuator. The best location would be where
you have the easiest access to the V bolt nuts on the
clamp.
2. Engage the clamp to the actuator as close as possible to
the determined location.
3. Lock the clamp in place using the remaining retainer clip.
4. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position.
5. Slide the actuator over the shaft.
6. Position the actuator in the desired location.
7. Tighten the two nuts on the clamp using a 10mm wrench
or socket using 6-8 ft-lb of torque.
8. Slip the stud of the anti-rotation strap into the slot at the
base of the actuator. The stud should be positioned
approximately 1/16 of an inch from the closed end of the
slot. Bend the strap as needed to reach the duct. Attach
the strap to the duct with #8 self tapping screws.
9. If damper position indication is required, use the optional
IND-AF2 pointer. See Figure A.
Jackshaft Installation
The TAF… series actuator is designed for use with jackshafts
up to 1.05” in diameter. In most applications, the TAF actuator may be mounted in the same manner as a standard
damper shaft application. If more torque is required than one
TAF actuator can provide, a second TAF actuator may be
mounted to the jackshaft using the ZG-102 multiple actuator
mounting bracket. See wiring guide for wiring details.

Multiple Actuator Mounting
If more torque is required than one TAF actuator can provide,
a second TAF actuator may be mounted to the shaft using the
ZG-102 multiple mounting bracket.
Notes:The manual positioning mechanism cannot be used in
multiple actuator applications.
Special Wiring and Additional Information: See wiring guide
Rotation Limitation
The angle of rotation limiter, ZDB-AF2, is used in conjunction
with the tab on the universal clamp or IND-AF2 position indicator
which comes with the ZDB-AF2. In order to function properly,
the clamp or indicator must be mounted correctly. See Figure A.
The ZDB-AF2 may not work in certain mounting orientations
using the ZG-106 or ZG-107 mounting brackets. It will not work
with the ZG-108 mounting bracket. Limiting the damper rotation
must be accomplished by adjusting the crankarm linkage.
The ZDB-AF2 may be used in 2 ways to control the rotational
output of the TAF series actuator. One use is in the application where a damper has a designed rotation less than 90°.
An example would be a 45° or 60° rotating damper. The other
application would be to set a minimum damper position which
can be easily set or changed without having to remove the
actuator from the damper.
Damper Rotation Limiting
1. Determine the amount of damper rotation required.
2. Locate the Angle of Rotation Limiter (ZDB-AF2) on the
actuator so that its edge lines up with the degree graduation on the actuator face which corresponds with the
required rotation. See Figure C.
3. Find the appropriate cross-hair location through the
slot of the limiter. This is the screw mounting location.
4. Pierce through the label material to allow easy fastening of the retaining screw.
5. Position the limiter back to the desired position, making sure the locating “teeth” on the limiter are engaged
into the locating holes on the actuator.
6. Fasten the limiter to the actuator using the self tapping
screw provided.
7. Test the damper rotation either manually with the
manual crank or apply power and if required, a control
signal. Re-adjust if necessary.
Mechanical Minimum Damper Position
In order to use this procedure, the actuator must be mounted for short shaft mounting. See page 20.
1. Position the damper to its minimum position by using
the manual crank or by providing the appropriate control signal to the TAF24… modulating type actuator.
2. Place the indicator on to the actuator spline in the
approximate position shown in Figure D. Fasten it with
the retaining clip. Note that the mounting orientation is
different than the mounting used for Damper RotationLimiting.
3. Place the ZDB-AF2 rotation limiter on the actuator
so that it either makes contact with, or is as close as
possible to, the edge of the indicator. See Figure E.
Make sure that the locating teeth are engaged into the
locating holes on the actuator. If all of the mounting
teeth do not align with the holes, the mounting location
of the indicator to the spline may have to be moved.
The limiter would then be remounted to get the best
position match of both parts.
4. Find the cross-hair location through the slot of the
limiter. This is the screw mounting location.
5. Pierce through the label material to allow easy
fastening of the retaining screw.
6. Fasten the limiter to the actuator using the self tapping
screw provided.
7. Test the damper operation either manually with the
manual crank or apply power and if required, a control
signal. Re-adjust if necessary.

Installation Instructions
This method should not be used for outside air damper applications. The damper will never go to the full close-off position.
This may cause coils to freeze or other system problems. The
TAF24-SR wired to either the SGA24 or SGF24 can be used
for minimum position setting and still provide full close-off.
Manual Override
The TAF series actuators can be manually positioned to ease
installation or for emergency positioning.
1. The manual override will only work if no power is available
to the actuator.
2. Insert the manual crank (shipped with the actuator) into
the hexagon hole located on either side of the actuator. An
illustration, located on the label, shows the location.
3. Turn the crank in the direction shown on the label (clockwise on the “CW” side, counterclockwise on the “CCW”
side). It will take approximately 19 revolutions to rotate
the full 95° of rotation.
4. To lock the actuator in the required position, rotate the
crank quickly in the opposite direction, 1/2 of a revolution. The
“lock closed” icon on the label shows the correct direction.
5. The manual override may be disengaged in 2 ways.
- Rotate the crank about a 1/4 revolution in the same
direction as the initial winding. The “lock open” icon
shows the correct direction.
- Apply power to wire 1 and 2. The actuator will automatically disengage the override function and will go to the
“on” position in the case of the on-off versions. Or, in the
case of the proportional versions, go to the 0 signal position and then go to the position corresponding to the
control signal. The actuator will now work normally.
Testing the Installation without Power
The actuator/damper installation may be tested without power
at the actuator. Refer to the manual positioning section of the
instructions. Move the damper to its full non-fail-safe position
using the manual crank. Disengage the manual position
mechanism and have the damper go to full fail-safe position.
Correct any mechanical problems and retest.
Auxiliary Switches
The TAF series actuators may be ordered with 2 built-in SPDT
auxiliary switches used for safety interfacing or signalling, for
example, for fan start-up. The switch position near the fail-safe
position is fixed at 5°. The other is adjustable between 25 and
85° of rotation. The crank, supplied with the actuator, or a 3mm
allen wrench is used to adjust the switching position.
Two methods may be used to adjust the switching point of the
adjustable switch.
Method 1 - See Figure F
1The actuator must be in its fail-safe position.
2. Insert the crank into the hexagon shaped hole located in
the center of the adjustable switch pointer.
3. Rotate the crank until the switch pointer is at the desired
switch point in degrees as shown.
Method 2 - See Figure G
1. Position the damper to the point at which you want the
switch to activate. This may be done by using the manual
override or by providing the appropriate proportional
signal to TAF24… modulating type actuator. The position
of the switch pointer is not important during this step.
2. Insert the crank into the hexagon shaped hole located in
the center of the adjustable switch pointer.
3. Rotate the switch pointer to just past the switch point
indicating arrow as shown.

Installation Instructions
Electrical Operation
General
The TAF series actuators utilize brushless DC motor technology. The TAF uses this motor in conjunction with an Application
Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). In the On-Off versions of
the TAF, the ASIC monitors and controls the actuator’s rotation and a digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage
to the actuator. The TAF24… modulating type actuators incorporate a built in microprocessor. The microprocessor provides
the intelligence to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate
and knows the actuator’s exact zero position.
Brushless DC Motor Operation
A brushless DC motor spins by reversing the poles of
stationary electromagnets housed inside of a rotating
permanent magnet. The electromagnetic poles are switched
by a special ASIC circuit. Unlike the conventional DC motor,
there are no brushes to wear or commutators to foul.
Overload Protection
The TAF series actuators are protected from overload at all
angles of rotation. The ASIC circuit constantly monitors the
rotation of the DC motor inside the actuator and stops the
pulses to the motor when it senses a stall condition. The DC
motor remains energized and produces full rated torque to the
load. This helps ensure that dampers are fully closed and that
edge and blade seals are always properly compressed.
Motor Position Detection
The brushless DC motors eliminate the need for potentiometers for positioning in modulating type actuators. Inside the
motor are three “Hall Effect” sensors. These sensors detect
the spinning rotor and send pulses to the microprocessor
which counts the pulses and calculates the position to within
1/3 of a revolution of the motor.

TAF24-SR actuators have built-in brushless DC motors which provide better accuracy and longer service life.
The TAF24-SR actuators are designed with a unique non-symmetrical deadband. The actuator follows an increasing or
decreasing control signal with a 80 mV resolution. If the signal changes in the opposite direction, the actuator will not respond
until the control signal changes by 200 mV. This allows these actuators to track even the slightest deviation very accurately,
yet allowing the actuator to “wait” for a much larger change in control signal due to control signal instability.

General Wiring Instructions
WARNING The wiring technician must be trained and experienced with electronic circuits. Disconnect power supply
before attempting any wiring connections or changes. Make
all connections in accordance with wiring diagrams and follow
all applicable local and national codes. Provide disconnect
and overload protection as required. Use copper, twisted pair,
conductors only. If using electrical conduit, the attachment to
the actuator must be made with flexible conduit.
Always read the controller manufacturer's installation
literature carefully before making any connections. Follow
all instructions in this literature. If you have any questions,
contact the controller manufacturer.
Transformer(s)
The TAF24 . . actuators require a 24 VAC class 2 transformer
and draws a maximum of 10 VA per actuator. The actuator
enclosure cannot be opened in the field, there are no parts or
components to be replaced or repaired.
– EMC directive: 89/336/EEC
– Software class A: Mode of operation type 1
– Low voltage directive: 73/23/EEC
CAUTION: It is good practice to power electronic or digital
controllers from a separate power transformer than that used
for actuators or other end devices. The power supply design
in our actuators and other end devices use half wave rectification. Some controllers use full wave rectification. When these
two different types of power supplies are connected to the
same power transformer and the DC commons are connected
together, a short circuit is created across one of the diodes in
the full wave power supply, damaging the controller. Only use
a single power transformer to power the controller and
actuator if you know the controller power supply uses half
wave rectification.
Multiple Actuators, One Transformer
Multiple actuators may be powered from one transformer
provided the following rules are followed:
1. The TOTAL current draw of the actuators (VA rating) is
less than or equal to the rating of the transformer.
2. Polarity on the secondary of the transformer is strictly
followed. This means that all No. 1 wires from all
actuators are connected to the common leg on the
transformer and all No. 2 wires from all actuators are
connected to the hotleg. Mixing wire No. 1 & 2 on one leg
of the transformer will result in erratic operation or failure
of the actuator and/or controls.
Multiple Actuators, Multiple Transformers
Multiple actuators positioned by the same control signal may
be powered from multiple transformers provided the following
rules are followed:
1. The transformers are properly sized.
2. All No. 1 wires from all actuators are tied together and tied
to the negative leg of the control signal. See wiring diagram.
Wire Length for TAF… Actuators
Keep power wire runs below the lengths listed in the Figure H.
If more than one actuator is powered from the same wire run,
divide the allowable wire length by the number of actuators to
determine the maximum run to any single actuator.
Example: 3 actuators, 16 Ga wire
350 ft ÷ 3 Actuators = 117 ft. maximum wire run
Maximum Wire Length:
Wire SizeMax. Feet.Wire SizeMax. Feet
12 Ga900 Ft.18 Ga225 Ft.
14 Ga550 Ft.20 Ga125 Ft.
16 Ga350 Ft.22 Ga60 Ft.
Figure H
Wire Type and Wire Installation Tips
For most installations, 18 or 16 Ga. cable works well with the
TAF24. . actuators. Use code-approved wire nuts, terminal
strips or solderless connectors where wires are joined. It is
good practice to run control wires unspliced from the actuator
to the controller. If splices are unavoidable, make sure the
splice can be reached for possible maintenance. Tape and/or
wire-tie the splice to reduce the possibility of the splice being
inadvertently pulled apart.
The TAF24… proportional actuators have a digital circuit that
is designed to ignore most unwanted input signals (pickup).
In some situations the pickup may be severe enough to cause
erratic running of the actuator. For example, a large inductive
load (high voltage AC wires, motors, etc.) running near the
power or control wiring may cause excessive pickup. To
solve this problem, make one or more of the following
changes:
1. Run the wire in metallic conduit.
2. Re-route the wiring away from the source of pickup.
3. Use shielded wire (Belden 8760 or equal). Ground the
shield to an earth ground. Do not connect it to the
actuator common.
Initialization of the TAF24-SR
When power is initially applied, the actuator will first release its
manual preload position (This assumes a manual position has
been set). The actuator will then rotate to the full fail-safe
position. At this point the microprocessor recognizes that the
actuator is at full fail-safe and uses this position as the base
for all of its position calculations. The microprocessor will
retain the initialized zero during short power failures of up to
20 seconds. For power failures greater than 20 seconds, the
actuator would naturally return to its full fail-safe position prior
to the microprocessor losing its memory. The actuator will also
re-initialize if the manual position mechanism is used.

TNF24-SR
Proportional Damper Actuator, Spring Return Fail-Safe, 24 V for 2 to 10 VDC, or 4 to 20 mA Control Signal.
Output Signal of 2 to 10 VDC for Position Indication
Torque min. 60 in-lb, for control of air dampers
Application
For proportional modulation of dampers in HVAC systems.
Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper
manufacturer’s specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05”
in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crank arm and
several mounting brackets are available for applications where
the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft.
The actuator operates in response to a 2 to 10 VDC, or with the
addition of a 500Ω resistor, a 4 to 20 mA control input from an
electronic controller or positioner. A 2 to 10 VDC feedback signal
is provided for position indication or master-slave applications.
Operation
The TNF series actuators provide true spring return operation
for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides constant torque to
the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The TNF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a
graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°.
The TNF24-SR uses a brushless DC motor which is
controlled by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)
and a microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the
intelligence to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate and
to know the actuator’s exact fail-safe position. The ASIC
monitors and controls the brushless DC motor’s rotation and
provides a digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage
to the actuator in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled
anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of
mechanical end switches.
For all accessories, see pages 110 and 132.

Standard Mounting
Mechanical Operation
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05” in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crank arm and
several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft.
The TNF series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides consistent torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The TNF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°.
The TNF…-S versions are provided with one built-in auxiliary switch. This SPDT switch is provided for safety interfacing or
signaling, for example, for fan start-up. The switching function is adjustable between 5° and 85°.
1. See Fig. B. Manually move the damper to the fail-safe
position (a) (usually closed). If the shaft rotated counterclockwise ( ), this is a CCW installation. If the shaft
rotated clockwise ( ), this is a CW installation. In a
CCW installation, the actuator side marked “CCW” faces
out, while in a CW installation, the side marked “CW”
faces out. All other steps are identical.
2. The actuator is usually shipped with the universal clamp
mounted to the “CCW” side of the actuator. To test for
adequate shaft length, slide the actuator over the shaft
with the side marked “CCW” (or the “CW” side if this is the
side with the clamp). If the shaft extends at least 1/8”
through the clamp, mount the actuator as follows. If not,
go to the Short Shaft Installation section.
Determining Torque Loading and Actuator Sizing
Damper torque loadings, used in selecting the correct size actuator, should be provided by the damper manufacturer. If this
information is not available, the following general selection guidelines can be used.
Damper TypeTorque Loading
Opposed blade, without edge seals, for non-tight close-off applications3 in-lb/sq. ft.
Parallel blade, without edge seals, for non-tight close-off applications4 in-lb/sq. ft.
Opposed blade, with edge seals, for tight close-off applications5 in-lb/sq. ft.
Parallel blade, with edge seals, for tight close-off applications7 in-lb/sq. ft.
The above torque loadings will work for most applications under 2 in. w.g. static pressure or 1000 FPM face velocity. For
applications between this criteria and 3 in. w.g. or 2500 FPM, the torque loading should be increased by a multiplier of 1.5.
If the application calls for higher criteria up to 4 in. w.g. or 3000 FPM, use a multiplier of 2.0.
General Information
Trane actuators should be mounted indoors in a dry, relatively clean environment free from corrosive fumes. If the actuator is to be
mounted outdoors, a protective enclosure must be used to shield the actuator.
For new construction work, order dampers with extended shafts. Instruct the installing contractor to allow space for mounting and
service of the actuator on the shaft. The damper shaft must extend at least 3 1/2" from the duct. If the shaft extends less than 3 1/2" or
if an obstruction blocks access, the shaft can be extended with the AV 10-18 shaft extension or the actuator may be mounted in its short
shaft configuration.

3. If the clamp is not on the correct side as determined in step
#1, re-mount the clamp as follows. If it is on the correct
side, proceed to step #5. Look at the universal clamp. If
you are mounting the actuator with the “CCW” side out,
position the clamp so that the pointer section of the tab is
pointing to 0° (see Fig. C) and the spline pattern of the
clamp mates with spline of the actuator. Slip the clamp
over the spline. (Use the same procedure if the “CW” side is
out.) If your application requires a mechanical minimum
position, read the Rotation Limitation section.
4. Lock the clamp to the actuator using the retaining clip.
5. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position (a).
6. Mount the spring return actuator to the shaft. Tighten the
universal clamp, finger tight only.
7. Mount the anti-rotation strap at the base of the actuator.
Slip the stop of the anti-rotation strap in the slot of the base
of the actuator. The stud should be centered approximately
1/4” from the end of the slot. Do not tighten the screws.
8. Remove the screw from one end of the mounting bracket
and pivot it away from the actuator.
9. Loosen the universal clamp and, making sure not to move
the damper shaft, rotate the actuator approximately 5° in
the direction which would open the damper.
10. Tighten the universal clamp to the shaft.
11. Rotate the actuator to apply pressure to the damper seals
(b) and re-engage the anti-rotation strap (c).
12. Tighten all fasteners.
Short Shaft Installation
If the shaft extends at least 3/4” from the duct, follow these
steps:
1. Move damper blades to the fail-safe position (a).
2. Determine the best orientation for the universal clamp on the
back of the actuator. The best location would be where you
have the easiest access to the V bolt nuts on the clamp.
3. Engage the clamp to the actuator as close as possible to
the determined location.
4. Lock the clamp to the actuator using the retainer clip.
5. Mount the spring return actuator to the shaft. Tighten the
universal clamp, finger tight only.
6. Mount the anti-rotation strap at the base of the actuator.
Do not tighten the screws.
7. Remove the screw from one end of the mounting bracket
and pivot it away from the actuator.
8. Loosen the universal clamp and, making sure not to move
the damper shaft, rotate the actuator approximately 5° in
the direction which would open the damper.
9. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position.

Rotation Limitation
The angle of rotation limiter, ZDB-AF2, is used in conjunction
with the tab on the universal clamp or IND-AF2 position
indicator which comes with the ZDB-AF2. In order to function
properly, the clamp or indicator must be mounted correctly.
See Fig. A.
The ZDB-AF2 may not work in certain mounting orientations
using the ZG-106 or ZG-107 mounting brackets. It will not work
with the ZG-108 mounting bracket. Limiting the damper rotation
must be accomplished by adjusting the crank arm linkage.
The ZDB-AF2 may be used to control the rotational output of
the TNF series actuator where a damper has a designed rotation less than 90°. An example would be a 45° or 60° rotating
damper.
Damper Rotation Limiting
1. Determine the amount of damper rotation required.
2. Locate the Angle of Rotation Limiter (ZDB-AF2) on the
actuator so that its edge lines up with the degree graduation on the actuator face which corresponds with the
required rotation. See Figure. C.
3. Find the appropriate cross-hair location through the slot
of the limiter. This is the screw mounting location.
4. Pierce through the label material to allow easy
fastening of the retaining screw.
5. Position the limiter back to the desired position, making
sure the locating “teeth” on the limiter are engaged into
the locating holes on the actuator.
6. Fasten the limiter to the actuator using the self tapping
screw provided.
7. Test the damper rotation before applying power and if
required, a control signal. Re-adjust if necessary.
Auxiliary Switches
The TNF series actuators may be ordered with one built-in
SPDT auxiliary switch used for safety interfacing or signalling,
for example, for fan start-up. The switch position is adjustable
between 5° and 85° of rotation. The crank, supplied with the
actuator, or a 3mm allen wrench is used to adjust the
switching position. See Figure. D.
1The actuator must be in its fail-safe position.
2. Insert the crank into the hexagon shaped hole located in
the center of the adjustable switch pointer.
3. Rotate the crank until the switch pointer is at the desired
switch point in degrees as shown.

TNF
Installation Instructions
Initialization of the TNF24-SR
When power is initially applied, the microprocessor recognizes
that the actuator is at full fail-safe and uses this position as
the base for all of its position calculations. The microprocessor
will retain the initialized zero during short power failures of up
to 20 seconds. For power failures greater than 20 seconds the
actuator would naturally return to it full fail-safe position prior
to the microprocessor losing its memory. When power is
applied again, the actuator will re-initialize the zero position.
The microprocessor will keep count of these short power
failures until 16 occur. At this point, the microprocessor will
automatically drive the actuator to its zero position and
re-initialize to correct for any possible error accumulation.
Motor Position Detection
A brushless DC motors eliminate the need for potentiometers for
positioning. Inside the motor are three “Hall Effect” sensors.
These sensors detect the spinning rotor and send pulses to the
microprocessor which counts the pulses and calculates the position to within 1/3 of a revolution of the motor.
Overload Protection
The TNF24-SR actuators are protected from overload at all
angles of rotation. The on board microprocessor constantly
monitors the rotation of the DC drive motor inside the actuator
and stops the pulses to the motor when it senses a stall condition. The DC motor remains energized and produces full
rated torque to the load. This helps ensure that dampers are
fully closed and that edge and blade seals are always properly
compressed.
Brushless DC Motor Operation
The brushless DC motor spins by reversing the poles of stationary electromagnets housed inside rotating permanent
magnets. The electromagnetic poles are switched by a microprocessor and a special ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit). Unlike the conventional DC motor, there are no
brushes to wear or commutators to foul.

TNF24-SR actuators have built-in brushless DC motors which provide better accuracy and longer service life.
The TNF24-SR actuators are designed with a unique non-symmetrical deadband. The actuator follows an increasing or
decreasing control signal with a 80 mV resolution. If the signal changes in the opposite direction, the actuator will not respond
until the control signal changes by 200 mV. This allows these actuators to track even the slightest deviation very accurately,
yet allowing the actuator to “wait” for a much larger change in control signal due to control signal instability.

WARNING The wiring technician must be trained and
experienced with electronic circuits. Disconnect power supply
before attempting any wiring connections or changes. Make
all connections in accordance with wiring diagrams and follow
all applicable local and national codes. Provide disconnect
and overload protection as required. Use copper, twisted pair,
conductors only. If using electrical conduit, the attachment to
the actuator must be made with flexible conduit.
Always read the controller manufacturer's installation
literature carefully before making any connections. Follow
all instructions in this literature. If you have any questions,
contact the controller manufacturer.
Transformer(s)
The TNF24 . . actuator requires a 24 VAC class 2 transformer
and draws a maximum of 10 VA per actuator. The actuator
enclosure cannot be opened in the field, there are no parts or
components to be replaced or repaired.
– EMC directive: 89/336/EEC
– Software class A: Mode of operation type 1
– Low voltage directive: 73/23/EEC
CAUTION: It is good practice to power electronic or digital
controllers from a separate power transformer than that
used for actuators or other end devices. The power supply
design in our actuators and other end devices use half wave
rectification. Some controllers use full wave rectification.
When these two different types of power supplies are
connected to the same power transformer and the DC commons are connected together, a short circuit is created across
one of the diodes in the full wave power supply, damaging the
controller. Only use a single power transformer to power the
controller and actuator if you know the controller power supply
uses half wave rectification.
Multiple Actuators, One Transformer
Multiple actuators may be powered from one transformer
provided the following rules are followed:
1. The TOTAL current draw of the actuators (VA rating) is
less than or equal to the rating of the transformer.
2. Polarity on the secondary of the transformer is strictly
followed. This means that all No. 1 wires from all
actuators are connected to the common leg on the
transformer and all No 2 wires from all actuators are
connected to the hotleg. Mixing wire No. 1 & 2 on one leg
of the transformer will result in erratic operation or failure
of the actuator and/or controls.
Multiple Actuators, Multiple Transformers
Multiple actuators positioned by the same control signal may
be powered from multiple transformers provided the following
rules are followed:
1. The transformers are properly sized.
2. All No. 1 wires from all actuators are tied together and tied
to the negative leg of the control signal. See wiring
diagram page 19.
Wire Length for TNF… Actuators
Keep power wire runs below the lengths listed in the table in
Figure E. If more than one actuator is powered from the same
wire run, divide the allowable wire length by the number of
actuators to determine the maximum run to any single actuator.
Example for TNF24-SR:
3 actuators, 16 Ga wire
550 ft ÷ 3 actuators = 183 ft. maximum wire run
Maximum wire length:
Wire SizeMax. Feet.Wire SizeMax. Feet

Figure E
Wire Type and Wire Installation Tips
For most installations, 18 or 16 Ga. cable works well with the
TNF24… actuators. Use code-approved wire nuts, terminal
strips or solderless connectors where wires are joined. It is
good practice to run control wires unspliced from the actuator
to the controller. If splices are unavoidable, make sure the
splice can be reached for possible maintenance. Tape and/or
wire-tie the splice to reduce the possibility of the splice being
inadvertently pulled apart.
The TNF24… proportional actuators have a digital circuit that
is designed to ignore most unwanted input signals (pickup). In
some situations the pickup may be severe enough to cause
erratic running of the actuator. For example, a large inductive
load (high voltage AC wires, motors, etc.) running near the
power or control wiring may cause excessive pickup. To solve
this problem, make one or more of the following changes:
1. Run the wire in metallic conduit.
2. Re-route the wiring away from the source of pickup.
3. Use shielded wire (Belden 8760 or equal). Ground the

Procedure
Control signal is applied to actuator.
Check power wiring. Correct any
problems. See Note 1.
Turn reversing switch to the correct
position. Make sure the switch is
turned all the way left or right.
Make sure the control signal positive
(+) is connected to Wire No 3 and
control signal negative (-) is connected to wire No. 1. Most control problems are caused by reversing these
two wires. Verify that the reversing
switch is all the way CCW or CW.
Check input signal with a digital volt
meter (DVM). Make sure the input is
within the range of the actuator. For
TNF24-SR this is 2 to 10 VDC or
4 to 20 mA. Note: The input signal
must be above the 2 VDC or 4 mA to
have the actuator move.
Loosen the nuts on the V-bolt and
move the damper by hand from fully
closed to fully open.
Check damper torque requirement.
Actuator works properly. Test
controller by following controller
manufacturer's instructions.

Note 1Check that the transformer(s) are sized properly.
• If a common transformer is used, make sure that polarity is observed on the secondary. This means connect all No. 1
wires to one leg of the transformer and all No. 2 wires to the other leg of the transformer.
• If multiple transformers are used with one control signal, make sure all No. 1 wires are tied together and tied to control
signal negative (-).
• Controllers and actuators must have separate 24 VAC/VDC power sources.

For on-off, fail-safe control of dampers in HVAC systems.
Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper
manufacturer’s specifications. Control is on-off from an
auxiliary contact, digital output, or a manual switch.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft from 3/8”
up to 1/2” in diameter by means of its universal clamp, 1/2”
shaft centered at delivery. For shafts up to 3/4” use K6-1
accessory. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are
available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct
coupled to the damper shaft.
Operation
The TLF series actuators provide true spring return operation
for reliable fail-safe application and positive close off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides consistent torque
to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The TLF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a
graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°. The actuator
may be stalled anywhere in its normal rotation without the
need of mechanical end switches. Power consumption is
reduced in holding mode.
The TLF24-S version is provided with one built in auxiliary
switch. This SPDT switch is provided for safety interfacing or
signaling, for example, for fan start-up. The switching function
is adjustable between 0° and 95°. The auxiliary switch in the
TLF24-S is double insulated so an electrical ground
connection is not necessary.
For all accessories, see pages 110 and 132.

1. Actuators should be mounted indoors in dry, relatively
clean environment free from corrosive fumes. If the actuator is to be mounted outdoors, a protective enclosure must
be used to shield the actuator.
2. For new construction work, order dampers with extendedshafts. Instruct the installing contractor to allow space for
mounting and service of the actuator on the shaft.
3. For standard mounting, the damper shaft must extend at least
3 1/2" from the duct. If the shaft extends less than 3 1/2", the
actuator may be mounted in its short shaft configuration. If an
obstruction blocks access, the shaft can be extended with the
AV 10-18 shaft extension
(K6-1 is required).
Installation Instructions
Quick-Mount Visual Instructions
1. Rotate the damper to its failsafe position. If the shaft rotates
counterclockwise, mount the “CCW” side of the actuator out. If it
rotates clockwise, mount the actuator with the “CW” side out.
2. If the universal clamp is not on the correct side of the
actuator, move it to the correct side.
3. Slide the actuator onto the shaft and tighten the nuts on the
V-bolt with a 10 mm wrench to 6-8 ft-lb of torque.
4. Slide the anti-rotation strap under the actuator so that it
engages the slot at the base of the actuator. Secure the
strap to the duct work with #8 self-tapping screws.

1. See Figue. B. Manually move the damper to the fail-safe
position (a) (usually closed). If the shaft rotated counterclockwise ( ), this is a CCW installation. If the shaft
rotated clockwise ( ), this is a CW installation. In a
left hand installation, the actuator side marked “CW” faces
out, while in a CW installation, the side marked “CCW”
faces out. All other steps are identical.
2. The actuator is usually shipped with the universal clamp
mounted to the “CW” side of the actuator. To test for
adequate shaft length, slide the actuator over the shaft
with the side marked “CW” (or the “CCW” side if this is the
side with the clamp). If the shaft extends at least 1/8”
through the clamp, mount the actuator as follows. If not,
go to the Short Shaft Installation section.
3. If the clamp is not on the correct side as determined in step
#1, re-mount the clamp as follows. If it is on the correct
side, proceed to step #5. Look at the universal clamp. If
you are mounting the actuator with the “CCW” side out,
position the clamp so that the pointer section of the tab is
pointing to 0° (see Figure. C) and the spline pattern of the
clamp mates with spline of the actuator. Slip the clamp over
the spline. (Use the same procedure if the “CW” side is
out.)
4. Lock the clamp to the actuator using the retaining clip.
5. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position (a).
6. Mount the spring return actuator to the shaft. Tighten the
universal clamp, finger tight only.
7. Mount the anti-rotation strap at the base of the actuator.
Do not tighten the screws.
8. Remove the screw from one end of the mounting bracket
and pivot it away from the actuator.
9. Loosen the universal clamp and, making sure not to move
the damper shaft, rotate the actuator approximately 5° in
the direction which would open the damper.
10. Tighten the universal clamp to the shaft.
11. Rotate the actuator to apply pressure to the damper seals
(b) and re-engage the anti-rotation strap (c).
12. Tighten all fasteners.
Installation Instructions
Standard Mounting / Airtight Damper Procedure
Mechanical Operation
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1/2” in diameter by means of its universal clamp, or up to a 3/4” shaft with
the optional K6-1 clamp. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be
direct coupled to the damper shaft.
The TLF series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight
dampers. The spring return system provides consistent torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator.
The TLF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°.
The TLF…-S versions are provided with one built-in auxiliary switch. This SPDT switch is provided for safety interfacing or
signaling, for example, for fan start-up. The switching function is adjustable between 0° and 95°.

If the shaft extends at least 3/4” from the duct, follow these
steps:
1. See Figure D. Move damper blades to the fail-safe position (a).
2. Determine the best orientation for the universal clamp on the
back of the actuator. The best location would be where you
have the easiest access to the V bolt nuts on the clamp.
3. Engage the clamp to the actuator as close as possible to
the determined location.
4. Lock the clamp to the actuator using the retainer clip.
5. Mount the spring return actuator to the shaft. Tighten the
universal clamp, finger tight only.
6. Mount the anti-rotation strap at the base of the actuator. Do
not tighten the screws.
7. Remove the screw from one end of the mounting bracket
and pivot it away from the actuator.
8. Loosen the universal clamp and, making sure not to move
the damper shaft, rotate the actuator approximately 5° in
the direction which would open the damper.
9. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position.
10. Tighten the universal clamp to the shaft.
11. Rotate the actuator to apply pressure to the damper seals

12. Tighten all fasteners.
13. Use IND-LF accessory if position indication is needed.
Installation Instructions
Short Shaft Mounting with IND-LF Position Indicator / Airtight Damper Procedure
Initialization of the TLF24-SR
When power is applied, the internal microprocessor
recognizes that the actuator is at its full fail-safe position and
uses this position as the base for all of its position calculations. This procedure takes approximately 15 seconds. During
this time you will see no response at the actuator. The microprocessor will retain the initialized zero during short power failures of up to 25 seconds. When power is applied during this
period, the actuator will return to normal operation and proceed to the position corresponding to the input signal provided. For power failures over 25 seconds, the actuator will be at
it fail-safe position and will go through the start up initialization
again.
Motor Position Detection
A Brushless DC motors eliminate the need for potentiometers
for positioning. Inside the motor are three “Hall Effect” sensors. These sensors detect the spinning rotor and send pulses
to the microprocessor which counts the pulses and calculates
the position to within 1/3 of a revolution of the motor.
Overload Protection
The TLF, on-off actuators are electronically protected against
overload. The TLF, On-off actuators have an internal current
limiter which maintains the current at a safe level which will not
damage the actuator while providing adequate holding torque.
The TLF24, modulating actuators (TLF24-SR, TLF24-3) are
protected against overload by digital technology located in the
ASIC. The ASIC circuitry constantly monitors the rotation of the
brushless DC motor inside the actuator and stops the
pulsing to the motor when it senses a stall condition. The motor
remains energized and produces full rated torque during stall
conditions. The actuator will try to move in the direction of the
stall every 2 minutes, for a period of 32 minutes. After this, the
actuator will try again every 2 hours .

TLF
The TLF actuators are provided with an adjustable stop
to limit the rotation of the actuator. This function works in
conjunction with the universal clamp or the optional position
indicator. The adjustable stop is needed when rotation of less
than 95° is required. The TLF actuator can be indefinitely
stalled, in any position, without harming the actuator.
Using the Universal Clamp:
1. Loosen the end stop fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
2. Move the stop block so the bottom edge of the block lines
up with the number corresponding to the desired degrees
of rotation (example: 45 degrees of rotation = .5).
3. Lock the block in place with the fastening screw.
4. Check the actuator for proper rotation.
Using the IND-LF Position Indicator with Adjustable Stop:
Note: Preferred method if short shaft mounting is used.
1. With the actuator in its fail-safe position, place the IND-LF
position indicator so that it points to the 0° position.
2. Loosen the end stop fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Move the stop block so the bottom edge of the block lines
up with the number corresponding to the desired degrees
of rotation (example: 45 degrees of rotation = .5).

Installation Instructions
Quick-Mount Visual Instructions for Mechanical Installation
TLF24-SR actuators have built-in brushless DC motors which provide better accuracy and longer service life.
The TLF24-SR actuators are designed with a unique non-symmetrical deadband. The actuator follows an increasing or
decreasing control signal with a 80 mV resolution. If the signal changes in the opposite direction, the actuator will not respond
until the control signal changes by 200 mV. This allows these actuators to track even the slightest deviation very accurately,
yet allowing the actuator to “wait” for a much larger change in control signal due to control signal instability.

TLF actuator responds to a 80 mV signal when
not changing direction from stop position.
TLF actuator responds to a 200 mV signal when
reversing direction from stop position.
TLF24-3 and TLF24-SR actuators have a direction of rotation
switch on the cover labeled “CW-CCW”. Switch position indicates
start point. For the TLF24-SR, with the switch in position “CW”, the
actuator rotates clockwise with a decrease in voltage or current.
With the switch in position “CCW”, the actuator rotates counterclockwise with a decrease in voltage or current.
The TLF24-3 and TLF24-SR actuators rotate clockwise when the
switch is in the “CW” position and power is applied to wire #3.
When power is applied to wire #4 the actuator rotates counter
clockwise.
Rotating the direction of rotation switch to “CCW” reverses the
control logic.
During checkout, the switch position can be temporarily
reversed and the actuator will reverse its direction. This
allows the technician a fast and easy way to check the actuator
operation without having to switch wires or change settings on
the controller. When the check-out is complete, make sure
the switch is placed back to its original position.

Installation Instructions
The …-S model actuators are equipped with an adjustable
auxiliary switch used to indicate damper position or to
interface additional controls or equipment. Switching positions
can be set over the full 0 to 95° rotation simply by setting a
switch on the actuator.
1. Set desired switch position (Example 60%).
2. As the actuator rotates, the switch indicator moves from .6
(60%) toward 0 (0%). When the indicator passes 0 the
switch contact between S1 and S2 is broken and the contact between S1 and S3 is made.

TLF
WARNING The wiring technician must be trained and experienced with electronic circuits. Disconnect power supply
before attempting any wiring connections or changes. Make
all connections in accordance with wiring diagrams and follow
all applicable local and national codes. Provide disconnect
and overload protection as required. Use copper, twisted pair,
conductors only. If using electrical conduit, the attachment to
the actuator must be made with flexible conduit.
Always read the controller manufacturer's installation
literature carefully before making any connections. Follow
all instructions in this literature. If you have any questions,
contact the controller manufacturer.
Transformer(s)
The TLF24 . . actuator requires a 24 VAC class 2 transformer
and draws a maximum of 7 VA per actuator. The actuator
enclosure cannot be opened in the field, there are no parts or
components to be replaced or repaired.
– EMC directive: 89/336/EEC
– Software class A: Mode of operation type 1
– Low voltage directive: 73/23/EEC
CAUTION: It is good practice to power electronic or digital
controllers from a separate power transformer than that used
for actuators or other end devices. The power supply design
in our actuators and other end devices use half wave rectification. Some controllers use full wave rectification. When these
two different types of power supplies are connected to the
same power transformer and the DC commons are connected
together, a short circuit is created across one of the diodes in
the full wave power supply, damaging the controller. Only use
a single power transformer to power the controller and
actuator if you know the controller power supply uses half
wave rectification.
Multiple Actuators, One Transformer
Multiple actuators may be powered from one transformer
provided the following rules are followed:
1. The TOTAL current draw of the actuators (VA rating) is
less than or equal to the rating of the transformer.
2. Polarity on the secondary of the transformer is strictly followed. This means that all No. 1 wires from all actuators
are connected to the common leg on the transformer and
all No 2 wires from all actuators are connected to the hotleg. Mixing wire No. 1 & 2 on one leg of the transformer
will result in erratic operation or failure of the actuator
and/or controls.
Multiple Actuators, Multiple Transformers
Multiple actuators positioned by the same control signal may
be powered from multiple transformers provided the following
rules are followed:
1. The transformers are properly sized.
2. All No. 1 wires from all actuators are tied together and tied
to the negative leg of the control signal. See wiring diagram.
Wire Length for TLF… Actuators
Keep power wire runs below the lengths listed in the table in
Figure A. If more than one actuator is powered from the same
wire run, divide the allowable wire length by the number of
actuators to determine the maximum run to any single actuator.
Example for TLF24-SR:
3 actuators, 16 Ga wire
550 ft ÷ 3 actuators = 183 ft. maximum wire run
Maximum Wire Length:
Wire SizeMax. Feet.Wire SizeMax. Feet
12 Ga1100 Ft.18 Ga260 Ft.
14 Ga700 Ft.20 Ga140 Ft.
16 Ga440 Ft.22 Ga75 Ft.
Figure A
Wire Type and Wire Installation Tips
For most installations, 18 or 16 Ga. cable works well with the
TLF24… actuators. Use code-approved wire nuts, terminal
strips or solderless connectors where wires are joined. It is
good practice to run control wires unspliced from the actuator
to the controller. If splices are unavoidable, make sure the
splice can be reached for possible maintenance. Tape and/or
wire-tie the splice to reduce the possibility of the splice being
inadvertently pulled apart.
The TLF24… proportional actuators have a digital circuit that is
designed to ignore most unwanted input signals (pickup). In
some situations the pickup may be severe enough to cause
erratic running of the actuator. For example, a large inductive
load (high voltage AC wires, motors, etc.) running near the
power or control wiring may cause excessive pickup. To solve
this problem, make one or more of the following changes:
1. Run the wire in metallic conduit.
2. Re-route the wiring away from the source of pickup.
3. Use shielded wire (Belden 8760 or equal). Ground the
shield to an earth ground. Do not connect it to the
actuator common.
Brushless DC Motor Operation
The brushless DC motor spins by reversing the poles of
stationary electromagnets housed inside rotating permanent
magnets. The electromagnetic poles are switched by a
microprocessor and a special ASIC (Application Specific
Integrated Circuit). Unlike the conventional DC motor, there
are no brushes to wear or commutators to foul.

The TTF series actuators provide true spring return operation
for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air
tight dampers. The spring return system provides consistent
torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the
actuator.
The TTF series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a
graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°.
The TTF24-3 uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled by
an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the intelligence to the
ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate. The ASIC monitors
and controls the brushless DC motor’s rotation and provides
a digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the
actuator in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled
anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of mechanical
end switches. Power consumption is reduced in holding mode.

1. See Figure B. Manually move the damper to the fail-safe
position (a) (usually closed). If the shaft rotated counterclockwise ( ), this is a CCW installation. If the shaft
rotated clockwise ( ), this is a CW installation. In a
left hand installation, the actuator side marked “CW” faces
out, while in a CW installation, the side marked “CCW”
faces out. All other steps are identical.
2. The actuator is usually shipped with the universal clamp
mounted to the “CW” side of the actuator. To test for
adequate shaft length, slide the actuator over the shaft
with the side marked “CW” (or the “CCW” side if this is the
side with the clamp). If the shaft extends at least 1/8”
through the clamp, mount the actuator as follows. If not,
go to the Short Shaft Mounting section.
3. If the clamp is not on the correct side as determined in step
#1, re-mount the clamp as follows. If it is on the correct
side, proceed to step #5. Look at the universal clamp. If
you are mounting the actuator with the “CCW” side out,
position the clamp so that the pointer section of the tab is
pointing to 0° (see Figure C) and the spline pattern of the
clamp mates with spline of the actuator. Remount the stroke
limiter to this side then slip the clamp over the spline. (Use
the same procedure if the “CW” side is out.)
4. See Remounting the Stroke Limiter.
5. Lock the clamp to the actuator using the retaining clip.
6. Verify that the damper is still in its full fail-safe position (a).
7. Mount the spring return actuator to the shaft. Tighten the
universal clamp, finger tight only.
8. Mount the anti-rotation strap at the base of the actuator.
Do not tighten the screws.
9. Remove the screw from one end of the mounting bracket
and pivot it away from the actuator.
10. Loosen the universal clamp making sure not to move the
damper shaft, rotate the actuator approximately 5° in the
direction which would open the damper.
11. Tighten the universal clamp to the shaft.
12. Rotate the actuator to apply pressure to the damper seals
(b) and re-engage the anti-rotation strap (c).
13. Tighten all fasteners.

The TTF actuators are provided with an adjustable stop to
limit the rotation of the actuator. This function works in
conjunction with the universal clamp or the optional position
indicator. The adjustable stop is needed when rotation of less
than 95° is required. The TTF actuator can be indefinitely
stalled, in any position, without harming the actuator.
Using the Universal Clamp:
1. Loosen the end stop fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
2. Move the stop block so the bottom edge of the block lines
up with the number corresponding to the desired degrees
of rotation (example: 45 degrees of rotation = .5).
3. Lock the block in place with the fastening screw.
4. Check the actuator for proper rotation.
Using the IND-TF Position Indicator with Adjustable Stop:
Note: preferred method if short shaft mounting is used.
1. With the actuator in its fail-safe position, place the IND-TF
Position Indicator so that it points to the 0 degree position.
2. Loosen the end stop fastening screw using a #2 Phillips
screwdriver.
3. Move the stop block so the bottom edge of the block lines
up with the number corresponding to the desired degrees
of rotation (example: 45 degrees of rotation = .5).
4. Lock the block in place with the fastening screw.
5. Check the actuator for proper rotation.
Mechanical Angle of Rotation Limiting
Installation Instructions
Quick-Mount Visual Instructions for Mechanical Installation
TTF24-3 and TTF24-SR actuators have a direction of rotation
switch on the cover labeled “CW-CCW”. Switch position indicates
start point. For the TTF24-SR, with the switch in position “CW”, the
actuator rotates clockwise with a decrease in voltage or current.
With the switch in position “CCW”, the actuator rotates counterclockwise with a decrease in voltage or current.
The TTF24-3 and TTF24-SR actuators rotate clockwise when the
switch is in the “CW” position and power is applied to wire #3.
When power is applied to wire #4 the actuator rotates counter
clockwise.
Rotating the direction of rotation switch to “CCW” reverses the
control logic.
During checkout, the switch position can be temporarily
reversed and the actuator will reverse its direction. This allows
the technician a fast and easy way to check the actuator operation without having to switch wires or change settings on the
controller. When the check-out is complete, make sure the
switch is placed back to its original position.
Direction of Rotation Switch
Initialization of the TTF24-SR
When power is applied, the internal microprocessor recognizes
that the actuator is at its full fail-safe position and uses this
position as the base for all of its position calculations. This
procedure takes approximately 15 seconds. During this time
you will see no response at the actuator. The microprocessor
will retain the initialized zero during short power failures of up
to 25 seconds. When power is applied during this period, the
actuator will return to normal operation and proceed to the
position corresponding to the input signal provided. For power
failures over 25 seconds, the actuator will be at its fail-safe
position and will go through the start up initialization again.
Motor Position Detection (TTF24-SR)
Brushless DC motors eliminate the need for potentiometers for
positioning. Inside the motor are three “Hall Effect” sensors.
These sensors detect the spinning rotor and send pulses to the
microprocessor which counts the pulses and calculates the
position to within 1/3 of a revolution of the motor.
Overload Protection
The TTF, on-off actuators are electronically protected against
overload. The TTF, on-off actuator have an internal current
limiter which maintains the current at a safe level which will not
damage the actuator while providing adequate holding torque.
The TTF24, modulating, actuators (TTF24-SR, TTF24-3) are
protected against overload by digital technology located in the
ASIC. The ASIC circuitry constantly monitors the rotation of the
brushless DC motor inside the actuator and stops the pulsing to
the motor when it senses a stall condition. The motor remains
energized and produces full rated torque during stall conditions.
The actuator will try to move in the direction of the stall every 2
minutes, for a period of 32 minutes. After this, the actuator will
try again every 2 hours.

TTF24-SR actuators have built-in brushless DC motors which provide better accuracy and longer service life.
The TTF24-SR actuators are designed with a unique non-symmetrical deadband. The actuator follows an increasing or
decreasing control signal with a 80 mV resolution. If the signal changes in the opposite direction, the actuator will not respond
until the control signal changes by 200 mV. This allows these actuators to track even the slightest deviation very accurately, yet
allowing the actuator to “wait” for a much larger change in control signal due to control signal instability.

WARNING The wiring technician must be trained and experienced with electronic circuits. Disconnect power supply
before attempting any wiring connections or changes. Make
all connections in accordance with wiring diagrams and follow
all applicable local and national codes. Provide disconnect
and overload protection as required. Use copper, twisted pair,
conductors only. If using electrical conduit, the attachment to
the actuator must be made with flexible conduit.
Always read the controller manufacturer's installation
literature carefully before making any connections. Follow
all instructions in this literature. If you have any questions,
contact the controller manufacturer.
Transformer(s)
The TTF24 . . actuator requires a 24 VAC class 2 transformer
and draws a maximum of 5 VA per actuator. The actuator
enclosure cannot be opened in the field, there are no parts or
components to be replaced or repaired.
– EMC directive: 89/336/EEC
– Software class A: Mode of operation type 1
– Low voltage directive: 73/23/EEC
CAUTION: It is good practice to power electronic or digital
controllers from a separate power transformer than that used
for actuators or other end devices. The power supply design
in our actuators and other end devices use half wave rectification. Some controllers use full wave rectification. When these
two different types of power supplies are connected to the
same power transformer and the DC commons are connected
together, a short circuit is created across one of the diodes in
the full wave power supply, damaging the controller. Only use
a single power transformer to power the controller and
actuator if you know the controller power supply uses half
wave rectification.
Multiple Actuators, One Transformer
Multiple actuators may be powered from one transformer
provided the following rules are followed:
1. The TOTAL current draw of the actuators (VA rating) is
less than or equal to the rating of the transformer.
2. Polarity on the secondary of the transformer is strictly
followed. This means that all No. 1 wires from all
actuators are connected to the common leg on the
transformer and all No 2 wires from all actuators are
connected to the hotleg. Mixing wire No. 1 & 2 on one leg
of the transformer will result in erratic operation or failure
of the actuator and/or controls.
Multiple Actuators, Multiple Transformers
Multiple actuators positioned by the same control signal may
be powered from multiple transformers provided the following
rules are followed:
1. The transformers are properly sized.
2. All No. 1 wires from all actuators are tied together and tied
to the negative leg of the control signal. See wiring diagram.
Wire Length for TTF… Actuators
Keep power wire runs below the lengths listed in the table in
Figure A. If more than one actuator is powered from the same
wire run, divide the allowable wire length by the number of
actuators to determine the maximum run to any single actuator.

Wire Type and Wire Installation Tips
For most installations, 18 or 16 Ga. cable works well with the
TTF24… actuators. Use code-approved wire nuts, terminal
strips or solderless connectors where wires are joined. It is
good practice to run control wires unspliced from the actuator
to the controller. If splices are unavoidable, make sure the
splice can be reached for possible maintenance. Tape and/or
wire-tie the splice to reduce the possibility of the splice being
inadvertently pulled apart.
The TTF24… proportional actuators have a digital circuit that is
designed to ignore most unwanted input signals (pickup). In
some situations the pickup may be severe enough to cause
erratic running of the actuator. For example, a large inductive
load (high voltage AC wires, motors, etc.) running near the
power or control wiring may cause excessive pickup. To solve
this problem, make one or more of the following changes:
1. Run the wire in metallic conduit.
2. Re-route the wiring away from the source of pickup.
3. Use shielded wire (Belden 8760 or equal). Ground the
shield to an earth ground. Do not connect it to the
actuator common.
Brushless DC Motor Operation
The brushless DC motor spins by reversing the poles of
stationary electromagnets housed inside rotating permanent
magnets. The electromagnetic poles are switched by a microprocessor and a special ASIC (Application Specific Integrated
Circuit). Unlike the conventional DC motor, there are no
brushes to wear or commutators to foul.

Preliminary Steps
1. Actuators should be mounted indoors in dry, relatively
clean environment free from corrosive fumes. If the actuator is to be mounted outdoors, a protective enclosure must
be used to shield the actuator. (See MechanicalAccessories Section)
2. For new construction work, order dampers with extendedshafts. Instruct the installing contractor to allow space for
mounting and service of the actuator on the shaft.
3. For standard mounting, the damper shaft must extend at least
3 1/2" from the duct. If the shaft extends less than 3 1/2", the
actuator may be mounted in its short shaft configuration.
Installation Instructions
Quick-Mount Visual Instructions
1. Rotate the damper to its failsafe position. If the shaft rotates
counterclockwise, mount the “CCW” side of the actuator out. If it
rotates clockwise, mount the actuator with the “CW” side out.
2. If the universal clamp is not on the correct side of the actuator, move it to the correct side.
3. Slide the actuator onto the shaft and tighten the nuts on the
V-bolt with an 8 mm wrench to 6-8 ft-lb of torque.
4. Slide the anti-rotation strap under the actuator so that it
engages the slot at the base of the actuator. Secure the
strap to the duct work with #8 self-tapping screws.
NOTE: Read the “Standard Mounting” instructions, on page 92,
for more detailed information.

Instructions For TTF24-SR
Procedure
Remove power to reset actuator.
Re-apply power.
Apply control signal to actuator.
Check power wiring. Correct any
problems. See Note 1.
Turn reversing switch to the correct
position. Make sure the switch is
turned all the way left or right.
Make sure the control signal positive
(+) is connected to Wire No 3 and
control signal negative (-) is connected to wire No. 1. Most control problems are caused by reversing these
two wires. Verify that the reversing
switch is all the way CCW or CW.
Check input signal with a digital volt
meter (DVM). Make sure the input is
within the range of the actuator. For
TTF24-SR this is 2 to 10 VDC or
4 to 20 mA. Note: The input signal
must be above the 2 VDC or 4 mA to
have the actuator move.
Loosen the nuts on the V-bolt and
move the damper by hand from fully
closed to fully open.
Check damper torque requirement.
Actuator works properly. Test
controller by following controller
manufacturer's instructions.
Expected Response
Actuator will move to its “Control
Signal” position.
Power supply rating should be

Application
For on/off and floating point control of dampers in HVAC
systems. Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with
the damper manufacturer’s specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05”
in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crankarm and
several mounting brackets are available for applications
where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper
shaft.
Operation
The actuator is not provided with and does not require any
limit switches, but is electronically protected against overload.

Application
For on/off and floating point control of dampers in HVAC
systems. Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with
the damper manufacturer’s specifications.
The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05"
in diameter by means of its universal clamp, 1/2” self-centered
default. A crankarm and several mounting brackets are
available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct
coupled to the damper shaft.
Operation
The actuator is not provided with and does not require any limit
switches, but is electronically protected against overload. The
anti-rotation strap supplied with the actuator will prevent lateral
movement.
The TNMB series provides 95° of rotation and a visual
indicator indicates position of the actuator. When reaching the
damper or actuator end position, the actuator automatically
stops. The gears can be manually disengaged with a button
on the actuator cover.
The TNMB24-3… actuators use a sensorless brushless DC
motor, which is controlled by an Application Specific Integrated
Circuit (ASIC). The ASIC monitors and controls the actuator’s
rotation and provides a digital rotation sensing (DRS) function
to prevent damage to the actuator in a stall condition. Power
consumption is reduced in holding mode.
Add on auxiliary switches or feedback potentiometers are
easily fastened directly onto the actuator body for signaling

perform these tasks. Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed
to live electrical components could result in death or serious injury.

Installation and Operation
Non-Spring Return
General Information
If more torque is required than one TGMB can provide, TGMB24-SR may be installed on the same shaft.
Multiple Actuator Mounting
Preliminary Steps
1. Belimo actuators with NEMA 1 or NEMA 2 ratings should
be mounted indoors in a dry, relatively clean environment
free from corrosive fumes. If the actuator is mounted outdoors, a protective enclosure must be used to shield the
actuator.
2. For new construction work, order dampers with extendedshafts. Instruct the installing contractor to allow space for
mounting the Belimo actuator on the shaft.
For replacement of existing gear train actuators, there are two
options:
A. From a performance standpoint, it is best to mount the
actuator directly onto the damper shaft.
B. If the damper shaft is not accessible, mount the non-
spring return actuator with a ZG-NMA or ZG-GMA
crankarm kit, and a mounting bracket (ZG-100, ZG101, ZG-103, ZG-104)
Determining Torque Loading and Actuator Sizing
Damper torque loadings, used in selecting the correct size actuator, should be provided by the damper manufacturer.
If this information is not available, the following general selection guidelines can be used.
Damper TypeTorque Loading
Opposed blade, without edge seals, for non-tight close-off applications3 in-lb/sq. ft.
Parallel blade, without edge seals, for non-tight close-off applications4 in-lb/sq. ft.
Opposed blade, with edge seals, for tight close-off applications5 in-lb/sq. ft.
Parallel blade, with edge seals, for tight close-off applications7 in-lb/sq. ft.
The above torque loadings will work for most applications under 2 in. w.g. static pressure or 1000 FPM face velocity.
For applications between this criteria and 3 in. w.g. or 2500 FPM, the torque loading should be increased by a multiplier
of 1.5. If the application calls for higher criteria up to 4 in. w.g. or 3000 FPM, use a multiplier of 2.0.
