ML4115, ML8115
Fast-Acting, Two-Position
Actuators
FOR FIRE/SMOKE CONTROL APPLICATIONS
The ML4115, ML8115 Fast-Acting, Two-Position Actuators are
spring return direct coupled actuators (DCA) with an integral
junction box for on/off damper control. The actuator accepts
an on/off signal from a single-pole, single-throw (spst)
controller. Models are available with clockwise (cw) or
counterclockwise (ccw) spring return and are designed to
operate reliably in smoke control systems requiring
Underwriter’s Laboratories Inc. UL555S ratings up to 350°F.

FEATURES
• 30 lb-in. (3.4 N•m) minimum driving torque
at 350°F (176°C).
• Integral spring return ensures level of return torque.
• Stainless steel internal spring.
• Fifteen-second spring return timing.
• No special cycling required during long-term holding.
• No audible noise during holding.
• Patent pending design eliminates need for limit
switches to reduce power consumption.
• Models available for 24 and 120 Vac.
• Ninety-five degree angle of rotation.
• Actuator holds rated torque at reduced power level.
• Die-cast aluminum housing.
• Housing design allows flush mounting to damper.
• Integral junction box with three conduit openings
eliminates need for separate wiring box.
Temperature Ratings:
! Ambient: 0°F to 130°F (-18°C to 55°C).
! Shipping and Storage: -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
IMPORTANT
The actuator is designed to meet UL555S standards
at 350°F (176°C). The actuator must be tested with
the damper to achieve this rating.
Humidity Ratings:
! 5% to 95% RH noncondensing.
Stroke:
! 95° ± 3°, mechanically limited.
Torque Rating (at rated voltage):
! Typical Holding (0°F to 350°F): 30 lb-in. (3.4 N•m).
! Typical Driving (0°F to 350°F): 30 lb-in. (3.4 N•m).
! Spring Return: 30 lb-in. (3.4 N•m).
! Stall Maximum: 150 lb-in. (17 N•m).
Timing (At Rated Torque and Voltage):
! Drive Open:
! ML4115: 25 sec maximum, 18 sec typical.
! ML8115: 25 sec maximum, 22 sec typical.
! Spring Close: 15 sec.
Design Life (at Rated Voltage):
! 60,000 full stroke cycles.
Cycling Requirements:
! Prolonged holding period (1 year) testing of these
actuators has been performed with no evidence of reduced
spring return performance.
Minimum Damper Shaft Length:
! 1-1/2 in. (38 mm).

ML4115, ML8115 FAST-ACTING, TWO-POSITION ACTUATORS
Mounting:
! 3/8 to 1/2 in. square or round damper shafts. Can mount
actuator with shaft in any position. Secure hub to shaft with:
Two 1/4-28 UNF set screws. Use 1/8 in. Allen wrench to
tighten set screws.
IMPORTANT
Honeywell does not recommend using linkages with
these actuators because side-loading of the output
hub reduces actuator life.
Environmental Protection Ratings:
! NEMA 1.
Accessories (not supplied with actuator):
! 201391 Shaft Adapter for 3/8 in. shafts.
! 205649 Mounting Bracket.
! 32003532-005 Dual Auxiliary Switch Package for
UL555(S) applications.

For actuators with a product date code before 0527,
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.
