Use this chart as a guide to interpret the S70 Tunnel Damper electric actuator part number.
The Bray Series 70 Tunnel Damper Electric Actuator is a
quarter turn electric actuator with manual override for use
on any quarter turn valve requiring up to 5000 in.lb of torque.
Operating speeds vary between 15 to 18 seconds.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The Series 70 Tunnel Damper electric actuator is divided
into two internal sections; the power center below the
switchplate, and the control center above the switchplate.
Below the switchplate the capacitor and gearmotor, with
its spur geartrain, drive a non-backdriveable worm gear
output. The override mechanism for manual operation
is also housed here. Above the switchplate is where user
required, readily accessible components are placed. The
camshaft assembly, limit switches, terminal strips, and
heater are all placed here for easy access. External to the
unit are adjustable mechanical travel stops, the unique
manual override handwheel, and dual conduit entry ports.
The external coating is a high quality polyester powder coat
which has exceptional UV as well as chemical resistance.
ELECTRICAL OPERATION
The motors used in the Bray Series 70 Tunnel Damper electric actuator are permanent induction split capacitor design
(single phase AC power). Travel limit switches are mechanical
form ZZ(DPDT-DB) with contacts rated at 10 amp (0.8 PF),
1/2 HP 125/250 VAC. In cases where the torque capacity of
the unit is exceeded to the point where the motor stalls and
overheats, a thermal protector switch built into the motor
windings will automatically disconnect the motor power.
Once the motor cools sufficiently the thermal protector
switch will reset.

MECHANICAL OPERATION
Mechanically, the ratio of the gear motor determines the
speed of the unit. The gear motor utilizes high efficiency
spur gears. Initial gear reduction through the spur gears is
then transferred to the worm shaft. The final gear reduction
and output is through a non-backdriveable worm gear set.
Positioning is determined by an indicator-cam shaft linked to
the output shaft. In the declutchable condition the manual
override drives the worm shaft when engaged.
CW VS CCW
Due to the fact that the Series 70 is a rotary actuator, there are
two directions that it can turn to actuate a device: clockwise
and counter-clockwise. Depending on the application the
actuator is going into, and the physical constraints that
application presents, it may be preferential to designate
which direction the actuator turns to open and close. This
is accomplished with the /Z designator, which assigns the
open direction of the actuator: CW for clockwise and CCW
for counter-clockwise. This can be easily determined locally
by looking at which direction the open arrow is pointing
on the actuator hand wheel, and should be kept in mind
when mounting the actuator to the device. To ensure proper
function, the direction of travel should always align with
the arrows on the hand wheel and the /Z designator in
actuator part number.
ELEVATED TEMPERATURE RATINGS
The Series 70 actuator is certified to meet NEMA type 4/4x
specifications. The actuator utilizes a thermally protected,
permanent split-capacitor (PSC) motor coupled to a gear
train, allowing operation after experiencing elevated
ambient temperatures. It has been tested to and complies
with NYCTA Master Specification 15ID dated 7/16/12 –
Dampers and Accessories for Tunnel Ventilation and Station
Smoke Management, certifying it for use after soaking at
an elevated ambient temperature of up to 302°F (150°C)
for a minimum of 1 hour without the use of an insulated
thermal blanket.

Operation and Maintenance Manual
MANUAL OVERRIDE OPERATION
(DECLUTCHABLE)
The manual override operates similar to a watch adjusting
knob. To engage the manual override, simply pull the handwheel to its outermost position. A yellow stripe is revealed
for visual indication that the unit cannot run electrically.
The two handwheel positions, engaged and disengaged,
are held in place with the use of spring plungers. The handwheel remains in position until physically moved. Rotating
the handwheel in the clockwise direction will rotate the
output shaft in the same clockwise direction and vice-versa.
CAUTION
A label on the handwheel hub warns users not to exceed
a specific rim pull force, for each size of actuator. If the
rim pull force is exceeded, the roll pin securing the handwheel onto the manual override shaft is designed to shear,
thus preventing more serious internal gearing damage.
PRE-INSTALLATION STORAGE
Actuators are not weatherproof until properly installed
on the valve or prepared for storage. Bray cannot accept
responsibility for deterioration caused on-site once the
cover is removed.
NOTICE
The standard mounting position for the actuator is to
orient the unit with its handwheel in a vertical plane and
parallel to the pipeline. If the actuator is to be mounted
on a vertical pipe, it is recommended that the unit be
positioned with the conduit entries on the bottom to
prevent condensation from entering the actuator by
way of the conduit. In all cases, the conduit should be
positioned to prevent drainage into the actuator.
The actuator should be mounted to the valve as follows:
1. Manually operate the actuator until the output shaft
of the actuator is in line with the valve stem. If possible, select an intermediate position (i.e. valve disc/
stem and actuator both half open).
2. Place the proper adapter, if required, onto the valve
stem. It is recommended that a small amount of grease
be applied to the adapter to ease assembly.
3. Mount the actuator onto the valve stem. It may be
necessary to swing or manually override the actuator
to align the bolt patterns.
4. Install the furnished mounting studs by threading them
all the way into the actuator base.
5. Fasten in place with the furnished hex nuts and lock
washers.
FIELD WIRING
NOTICE
Units are shipped with two metal screw-in plugs to prevent foreign matter from entering the unit. To prevent
condensation from forming inside these units, maintain
a near constant external temperature and store in a wellventilated, clean, dry room away from vibration.
Power should be supplied to the heater via conduit entry
and appropriate sealing gland.
Store units on a shelf or wooden pallet in order to protect
against floor dampness.
Keep units covered to protect against dust and dirt.
INSTALLATION
MOUNTING TO A VALVE
All Bray Series 70 electric actuators are suitable for direct
mounting on Bray butterfly valves. With proper mounting
hardware, the S70 actuator can be installed onto other
quarter-turn valves or devices, such as a damper.

WARNING
Turn off all power and lock out service panel before
installing or modifying any electrical wiring.
Each actuator is provided with two (2) conduit entries (one
for power and one for control).
1. The motor full load current is noted on the nameplate
of the actuator. The terminal strip will accept wire
sizes ranging from 14 to 22 AWG.
NOTICE
18 AWG minimum wire is recommended for all field
wiring.
Note that heaters use approximately 0.5 amps at 110 volts.
2. All actuators have their applicable wiring diagram
attached to the inside of the cover. Field wiring
should be terminated at the actuator terminal strip
in accordance with this wiring diagram.

NOTICE
!
!
Striker Bar
The conduit connections must be properly sealed to maintain the weatherproof integrity of the actuator enclosure.
CAUTION
Do not reverse motor instantaneously when it is still running. Reversing direction to actuator motor when it is
running can cause damage to motor, switches and gearing. Directional control switching can be done by PLC in
20ms or by a small relay in 46ms. Therefore time delay
of 1s has to be incorporated into the control scheme to
avoid damage.

HEATER
To prevent condensation from forming inside the actuator,
Bray offers a heater as standard in Series 70 Tunnel
Damper models. The heater is a PTC (Positive Temperature
Coefficient) style which has a unique temperature resistance characteristic. The heater self-regulates by
increasing its electrical resistance relative to its temperature.
The heater does not require external thermostats or
switches to control its heat output. It is constructed of
a polycrystalline ceramic, sandwiched between two
conductors, and wrapped inside a thermally conductive
electrical insulator.
Connect the heater wires to the terminal strip as indicated
on the wiring diagram.
NOTE: The heater must have a constant power supply to
be effective.
Tools required:
• For terminal wiring: Screwdriver, 1/4” tip flat blade
• For heater mounting screw: Screwdriver, No.1 Phillips
Installation procedure:
The heater is mounted through a hole provided in the
switchplate.
Before servicing unit, switch all power off at the service panel
and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power
from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent
warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.
Disconnect all power to the unit.
1. Place the heater snugly into its mounting bracket until
approx. 1/2 to 1” is left above the bracket as shown
in diagram.
2. Slip the heater into its mounting hole.
3. Align the fastening hole in the bracket with the
threaded screw hole in the plate. Fasten the heater
to the switchplate.
4. Connect the heater wires to the terminal strip as
indicated on the wiring diagram.
