Spyder® Lon
Programmable, VAV/Unitary Controllers
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The PUL1012S, PUL4024S, PUL6438S, PVL0000AS,
PVL4022AS, PVL4024NS, PVL6436AS, and PVL6438NS
controllers are part of the Excel 10 product line family. The
eight controllers are Free Topology Transceiver (FTT)
L
ONMARK
equipment. These controllers provide many options and
advanced system features that allow state-of-the-art
commercial building control. Each controller is programmable
and configurable through software.
These controllers are for use in VAV (Variable Air Volume) and
Unitary HVAC control applications. Each controller contains a
host micro controller to run the main HVAC application and a
second micro controller for LONWORKS® network
communications. Each controller has flexible, universal inputs
for external sensors, digital inputs, and a combination of
analog and digital Triac outputs. The eight models are
described in Table 1. The photo to the left is the model
PVL6436AS, which includes the actuator.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
The controller is available in eight models (see Table 1).
Review the power, input, and output specifications on page 2
before installing the controller.
— Hardware driven by Triac outputs must have a minimum
current draw, when energized, of 25 mA and a maximum
current draw of 500 mA.
— Hardware driven by the analog current outputs must have
a maximum resistance of 550 Ohms, resulting in a
maximum voltage of 11 volts when driven at 20 mA.
If resistance exceeds 550 Ohms, voltages up to 18 Vdc are
possible at the analog output terminal.
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property
damage.
Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring or
making wiring connections to prevent electrical shock
or equipment damage.
INSTALLATION
For PVL0000AS, PVL4022AS, and PVL6436AS models, the
actuator is mounted first and then the controller is mounted.
For the other models, go to “Mount Controller” on page 4 to
begin the installation.
Mount Actuator onto Damper Shaft
(PVL0000AS, PVL4022AS, and PVL6436AS)
PVL0000AS, PVL4022AS, and PVL6436AS controllers
include the direct-coupled actuator with Declutch mechanism,
which is shipped hard-wired to the controller.
The actuator mounts directly onto the VAV box damper shaft
and has up to 44 lb-in. (5 Nm) torque, 90-degree stroke, and
90 second timing at 60 Hz. The actuator is suitable for
mounting onto a 3/8 to 1/2 in. (10 to 13 mm) square or round
VAV box damper shaft. The minimum VAV box damper shaft
length is 1-9/16 in. (40 mm).
The two mechanical end-limit set screws control the amount
of rotation from 12° to 95°. These set screws must be securely
fastened in place. To ensure tight closing of the damper, the
shaft adapter has a total rotation stroke of 95° (see Fig. 1).
NOTE: The actuator is shipped with the mechanical end-limit
set screws set to 95 degrees of rotation. Adjust the
two set screws closer together to reduce the rotation
travel. Each “hash mark” indicator on the bracket
represents approximately 6.5° of rotation per side.
NOTE: The Declutch button, when pressed, allows you to
rotate the universal shaft adapter (see Fig. 1).
IMPORTANT
Determine the damper rotation and opening angle
prior to installation. See Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 on page 3
for examples.

The controller must be mounted in a position that allows
clearance for wiring, servicing, removal, connection of the
LonWorks® Bus Jack, and access to the Neuron® Service
Pin.
The controller may be mounted in any orientation.
IMPORTANT
Avoid mounting in areas where acid fumes or other
deteriorating vapors can attack the metal parts of the
controller, or in areas where escaping gas or other
explosive vapors are present. See Fig. 4–Fig. 7 on
page 4 for mounting dimensions.

Before Mounting Actuator onto Damper Shaft
(PVL0000AS, PVL4022AS, and PVL6436AS)
Tools required:
— Phillips #2 screwdriver - end-limit set screw adjustment
— 8 mm wrench - centering clamp
Before mounting the actuator onto the VAV box damper shaft,
determine the following:
1. Determine the damper shaft diameter. It must be
between 3/8 in. to 1/2 in. (10 to 13 mm).
2. Determine the length of the damper shaft. If the length
of the VAV box damper shaft is less than 1-9/16 in.
(40 mm), the actuator cannot be used.
3. Determine the direction the damper shaft rotates to
open the damper (CW or CCW) (see Fig. 3). Typically,
there is an etched line on the end of the damper shaft
that indicates the position of the damper. In Fig. 2, the
indicator shows the damper open in a CW direction.
4. Determine the damper full opening angle (45, 60, or 90
degrees). In Fig. 2, the damper is open to its full open
position of 90 degrees.
Fig. 3. Determining the rotation direction (CW or CCW)
for damper opening.
Mounting Actuator onto Damper Shaft (PVL0000AS,
PVL4022AS, and PVL6436AS )
The unit is shipped with the actuator set to rotate open in the
clockwise (CW) direction to a full 95 degrees. The extra 5
degrees ensures a full opening range for a 90 degree damper.
The installation procedure varies depending on the damper
opening direction and angle:
1. If the damper rotates clockwise (CW) to open, and the
angle of the damper open-to-closed is 90 degrees:
a. Manually open the damper fully (rotate clockwise).
b. Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft
adapter fully clockwise.
c. Mount the actuator to the VAV damper box and shaft.
d. Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp
(8 mm wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque).
When the actuator closes, the damper rotates CCW
90 degrees to fully close.
2. If the damper rotates clockwise (CW) to open, and the
angle of the damper open-to-closed is 45 or 60 degrees:
a. Manually open the damper fully (rotate clockwise).
b. The actuator is shipped with the mechanical
end-limits set at 95 degrees. Adjust the two
mechanical end-limit set screws to provide the
desired amount of rotation. Adjust the two set
screws closer together to reduce the rotation travel.
c. Tighten the two mechanical end-limit screws
(Phillips #2 screwdriver; (26.5–31 lb-in. [3.0–3.5
Nm] torque).
d. Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft
adapter fully clockwise.
e. Mount the actuator to the VAV damper box and shaft.
f. Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp
(8 mm wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque).
g. When the actuator closes, the damper rotates CCW
either 45 or 60 degrees to fully close.
3.
If the damper rotates counterclockwise (CCW) to open,
and the angle of the damper open-to-closed is 90 degrees:
a. Manually open the damper fully (rotate counter-
clockwise).
b. Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft
adapter fully counterclockwise.
c. Mount the actuator to the damper box and shaft.
d. Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp (8 mm
wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque). When
the actuator closes, the damper rotates CW
90 degrees to fully close.
4. If the damper rotates counterclockwise (CCW) to open,
and the angle of the damper open-to-closed is 45 or
60 degrees:
a. Manually open the damper fully (rotate counter-
clockwise).
b. The actuator is shipped with the mechanical
end-limits set at 95 degrees. Adjust the two
mechanical end-limit set screws to provide the
desired amount of rotation. Adjust the two set
screws closer together to reduce the rotation travel.
c. Tighten the two mechanical end-limit screws
(Phillips #2 screwdriver; (26.5–31 lb-in. [3.0–3.5
Nm] torque).
d. Using the Declutch button, rotate the universal shaft
adapter fully counter-clockwise.
e. Mount the actuator to the VAV damper box and shaft.
f. Tighten the two bolts on the centering clamp
(8 mm wrench; 70.8–88.5 lb-in. [8–10 Nm] torque).
g. When the actuator closes, the damper rotates CW
either 45 or 60 degrees to fully close.
