Direct Coupled Actuator
APPLICATION
The ML6131 Direct Coupl ed Act uator (DCA) is u sed to cont rol
dampers in applications such as variable air volume (VAV)
terminal units. It is suitable for use with single pole double
throw (spdt) floating thermostats or two-position control
systems.
ML6131

ML6131 DIRECT COUPLED ACTUATOR
Actuator Damage Hazard.
Deteriorating vapors and acid fumes can damage
the actuator metal parts.
1/8
(3)
Install actuator in areas free of acid fumes and
deteriorating vapors.
Location
Choose a location for the actuator that allows enough
clearance for mounting accessories and for servicing.
Mounting
These actuators are designed to open a damper or valve by
driving the shaft in either the clockwise (cw) or
counterclockwise (ccw) direction. The actuator has a
mounting tab on the botto m that sec ures it to a dampe r box or
valve linkage. When mounted correctly, this tab allows the
actuator to float without rota ting relative to the sh aft. The tab is
sized for 1/4 in. self-tapping sheet metal screws (not
included).

Direct Coupled Actuator in in. (mm).
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1.
Read these instructio ns c aref ull y. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2.
Check the ratings given in the instructions and on the
product to make sure the product is suitable for your
application.
3.
Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4.
After installation is complete, check out product
operation as provided in these instructions.
IMPORTANT
All wiring must agree with applicable codes,
ordinances and regulations.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard.
A spark from the actu ator or attached accessori es
can result in serious injury or death.
Install the actuator in areas free of escaping gas and
other explosive vapors.
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Tightly securing mounting tab to damper housing
can damage actuator.
Once mounted, the actuator must be allowed to float;
do not fully tighten the screw.
These actuators are ship ped in the fully cl ockwise 90° pos ition
as viewed from the end of the damper shaft.
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Mounting actuator unevenly with damper housing
can damage actuator.
Mount actuator flush with damper housing or add
spacer between mounting tab and damper box
housing (see Fig. 2).
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment
circuitry.
Disconnect all power supplies before installation.
Actuators with auxiliary switches can have more than
one disconnect.
