FSAF24-BAL (-S) US
70793-00001
Balancing Fire and Smoke Actuator, Three Position
Damper Actuator, Spring Return Closed, 24V, for
UL555(S) Fire and Smoke Dampers. A maximum
position potentiometer is built-in. 100% open override.
Application
For three position control of UL555S rated dampers in HVAC. Actuator
sizing should be done in accordance with the damper manufacturer’s
tests. In the absence of other information, use 10 in-lb of torque per
square foot of area for opposed blade and 14 in-lb for parallel blade fire
and smoke dampers at 1000 fpm air velocity.
The FSAF24-BAL is specifically designed to balance the air flow in ducts
and simultaneously provide control of fire and smoke dampers. 0V =
spring closed. 24V on wire 2, not 3 = drive to the potentiometer position
(balanced flow). 24V on wire 3, regardless of the status of wire 2 = drive
full open (smoke control extraction or pressurization). See Application
drawings below.
Operation
The FSAF24-BAL actuator provides spring return operation. There is no
reversing switch. Mount in spring return closed position. The torque
is asymmetrical giving 180 in-lb drive and 133 in-lb spring. A manual
override winder and locking mechanism is provided. If the manual winder
is used when the actuator is powered, the actuator will release, drive
closed, and then go back to the potentiometer position. The actuator may
not be mechanically parallelled or “piggybacked.” Each damper section
should be controlled by a separate actuator.
The FSAF24-BAL uses a DC motor which is controlled by a microchip.
The actuator may be stalled anywhere during its rotation without damage.
If power is removed, the damper will spring closed. Interlocks must be provided
as necessary for life safety functions and to shut down fan if required.

FSAF24-BAL (-S) US Typical Specification
Where indicated on drawings, combination fire and smoke and balancing
dampers shall be controlled by Belimo FSAF24-BAL or equal actuators.
The actuators must be designed so that they may be used for either
clockwise or counter clockwise failsafe operation. Actuator shall open
damper in <75 seconds per UL555S and shall spring closed in under 20
seconds. Actuators shall have a 5-year warranty and be manufactured
under ISO9001 International Quality Control Standards.
Actuator shall have an adjustable Maximum Opening Potentiometer which
shall be used by the TAB contractor to adjust flow to that portion of the
system fed by the damper.
The actuator shall spring closed if either the smoke detector or alarm
system removes power from it. Actuator shall spring closed if the primary
temperature thermodisc opens due to high ambient of >165°F or as
otherwise indicted on drawings.
The actuator shall drive full open if either the smoke control system 100%
open override or Fire Fighters Smoke Control Station override is activated.
Damper shall spring closed again if the thermodisc of a combination fire
and smoke damper opens due to high temperature (typically 250°F).
NOTE: When using FSAF24-BAL (-S) actuators, only use
accessories listed on this page.
