Part number 458403
FATPA Series Actuators
Models ML4XXX, ML8XXX, MS4209,MS4309, MS8209, and MS8309
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions apply to the external field installation of the Honeywell, FATPA Series, actuators on Greenheck models VCD
Control Dampers when they are duct mounted or sleeved.
These models are direct drive actuators that rotate to their energized position when power is applied, and spring return to
their fail position when power is disconnected.

WARNING
Equipment Damage or Electrical Power Hazard. Line voltage can cause death or serious injury and short equipment
circuitry. Disconnect power supply before installation.
Note:
Actuator shaft collar
accepts 1/2 in. (13mm)
diameter shaft. Shaft
rotation designated from
this side of actuator.
Torque Set Screws to
50-55 in. lbs. (5.6-6.2 Nm)
CAUTION
Device Malfunction Hazard. Improper set screw tightening causes device malfunction. Tighten set screws with
proper torque to prevent damper shaft slippage.

These installation instructions assume the damper is already
mounted in a duct or sleeve with the damper shaft extending
beyond the duct or sleeve 6 inches (152mm).
1. Install the stand-off bracket
Dampers with a jackshaft
1a. Jackshaft supplied is typically 1 in. (25 mm) diameter.
Mount the stand-off bracket (item #2) with [4] ¼-20 x ½
in. (M6 x 12mm) self drilling screws (item #3). Orient the
stand-off bracket (item #2) so the hole is centered on the
jackshaft (See Figure 1).
Dampers without a jackshaft (Shaft Extension)
1b. Mount the stand-off bracket (item #2) spanning across
the damper frame flanges. Fasten to the damper frame
with [4] ¼-20 x ½ in. (M6 x 12mm) self drilling screws
(item #3). Be sure not to run the screws into the damper
linkage, which is between the flanges.
2. Mount actuator bracket
Fasten the actuator bracket (item #6) (See Figure 1) to
the standoff bracket (item #2) using [4] ¼-20 x ½ in. (M6 X
20mm) thread studs (item #4) and [4] ¼-20 (M6) nuts (item
#5). Use outer four holes of the actuator bracket (item #6)
(See Figure 2).
3. Fail Position
If fail position is closed, make sure damper blades are
fully close and ensure blade seals are compressed prior to
tightening the actuator clamp to the damper extension pin
or jackshaft.
4. Install the actuator
Install the actuator (item #1) over the damper drive shaft
and tight against the actuator bracket (item #6). Install [2]
¼-20 x ½ in. (M6 x 20mm) shoulder bolts (item #4) through
lugs on actuator and through the holes in back of the
actuator bracket (item #6). Secure with [2] ¼-20 M6 nuts
(Item #5) (See Figure 1).
5. Secure actuator (Item #1) to drive shaft by tightening the
set screws on actuator collar to 50-55 in. lbs. (5.6 - 6.2
Nm).
6. The wiring illustration identifies actuator electrical
requirements and connections (See Figure 3). Wiring must
comply with all applicable electrical codes.
7. Apply power to the actuator. The damper blades should
fully open or close and return to the fail position when
power is disconnected.
IMPORTANT
For actuators with a product date code before 0527m
a power break of less than two seconds can cause the
actuator to spring-return 5 degrees or less and remain
in place until a power break of longer duration. For
actuators with a product date code of 0527 or after, a
power break of any duration will cause the actuator to
spring-return and be able to drive immediately when
power is reapplied.
