Installing Conduit Box Onto Actuator
Installation of a conduit box allows for the attachment of one or more thin wall conduits to
the actuator. This procedure also serves as an optional method for connecting flexible
conduit to the actuator.
1. Remove the knockout from the cover plate supplied with the actuator . Refer to Fig ure-8 .
2. Slip the actuator’s leads through a standard 1/2” conduit bushing (Figure-9, not

6. Tighten the locknut as follows:
a. Tilt the conduit box approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise, relative to the
actuator.
b. Finger-tighten the locknut against the conduit box.
c. Rotate the conduit box clockwise until it is aligned with the actuator. This will tighten
the locknut.
7. Make the required wiring connections. Refer to Figure-1 for a wiring diagram of a typical
application.

Note: Each actuator in the MA-5x3x series is provided with a factory-installed damper
linkage. No separately-ordered linkage is required.
Caution: Do not twist or exert any force on the actuator housing during installation. Either
turn the base by hand or, if necessary, use a 1-5/8" (41 mm) open-ended wrench (TOOL-
37) on the flats provided on the actuator base, or on the valve body mounting nut. (Refer to
Figure-2.)
1. Determine the best mounting position for the actuator as follows:
a. Determine, from the system requirements, if the damper should spring-return to the
open position (refer to
Figure-12) or closed position (refer to Figure-13) whenever
power is lost to the actuator. For example, an outside air damper actuator is typically
linked so as to retract (spring-return) to the damper’s fully closed position (safe
position).
Figure-12 Dampers Open When Actuator Retracts
(Spring-Returns Open on Power Loss).
Figure-13 Dampers Open When Actuator Extends
(Spring-Returns Closed on Power Loss).
b. Be sure to allow adequate working space around the actuator mounting location to
mount the actuator, link it to the damper, and wire it into the system (refer to
Figure-20).
c. If possible, select a mounting position such that, at mid-stroke, the actuator crank
arm and the damper crank arm on the drive shaft are each at a 90° angle to the
damper rod (Refer to
Figure-14). This is the recommended mounting position. It
may be necessary to swivel the actuator linkage to arrive at this mounting location.

d. Consider the damper rod length when positioning the actuator in relation to the
damper. A damper rod that is too long is not rigid enough to provide good control,
while a damper rod that is too short makes adjustment difficult.
2. Position the actuator on the duct and mark the location of the mounting holes, using the
actuator mounting bracket as a template (refer to Figure-20).
3. Drill or punch the mounting holes in the duct for the appropriate 1/4" (6 mm) diameter
screws or bolts. The actuator must be mounted firmly enough to prevent excessive
actuator movement under normal damper loading. If there is excessive actuator
movement, the damper may not fully open or close.
4. Mount a ball joint connector in the slot on the damper crank arm. To achieve 90° of
damper rotation, position the connector 1-1/2" (38 mm) from the centerline of the shaft
hole on the crank arm. For 60° of damper rotation, position the connector 2" (50 mm)
from the shaft hole centerline. Typically, 60° to 70° of rotation (maximum is 90°) is
sufficient to permit almost maximum air flow through the dampers. (Refer to
5. Rotate the damper to its open position. Install and secure the damper crank arm
(with ball joint connector) to the damper shaft, positioning the crank arm as fo llows
(Refer to Figure-14):
a. To achieve 60° of damper rotation, position the crank arm so that it is pointed
towards the actuator at 30° from its mid-stroke position.
b. To achieve 90° of damper rotation, position the crank arm so that it is pointed
towards the actuator at 45° from its mid-stroke position.
6. Install the damper rod by sliding one end through the ball joint connecto r moun ted on
the damper crank arm, and the other end through the straight connector on the actuator
crank arm. Tighten the nut on the actuator crank arm’s straight connector. Cut off any
excess length of damper rod.
7. For normally open dampers, tighten the nut on the ball joint connector on the damper
crank arm. T o ensure that the damper closes completely , make adjustments so that the
actuator is 1/16" (1.6
mm) from the extended end of stroke when the damper closes.
Verify and, if necessa ry, make final adjustments during system checkout.
8. For normally closed dampers, rotate the damper crank arm until the damper is closed.
While holding the damper closed, tighten the nut on the ball joint connector on the
damper crank arm. T o ensure that the damper closes completely , make adjustments so
that the actuator is 1/16" (1.6

Final adjustment of the actuator and damper must be performed when the system is

The switching point is adjustable over the entire actuator stroke and is pre-set at the factory

CHECKOUT
After the entire system has been installed and the actuator has been powered up, perform
the following checks for proper system operation.
Caution: Never power the actuator without a spring return linkage attached.
Positioning with
Controller
If the sensed media is within the controller’s setpoint range, the actuator can be positioned
by adjusting the controller setpoint up and down. Check for correct operation of the actuator
(valve or damper) while the actuator is being stroked.
Go, No-Go Test1. Apply power to the actuator. The actuator motor should run and the actuator shaft sh ould
extend.
2. Remove power from the actuator. The actuator motor should stop running and the
actuator shaft should spring-return to the retracted position.

Refer to Figure-16. The permanently sealed, oil-filled case contains a movable hydraulic
piston assembly and an electric pump for the hydraulic system. The pump generates a fluid
pressure which is transmitted to the top of the piston, creating a hydraulic force which drives
the piston downward. Opposing the hydraulic force is the spring of the valve or damper
linkage. When the hydraulic force becomes great enough to overcome the opposing spring
force, the piston translates downward, extending the output shaft. The electric pump is
powered by the input supply voltage and runs whenever the voltage is applied. When power
is removed from the pump, it stops running, decreasing the hydraulic force above the piston.
This allows the spring force to overcome the hydraulic force, pushing the piston upward and
retracting the output shaft. The oil above the piston is allowed to flow backward through the
pump by means of a check valve.
REPLACEMENT PARTS

Figure-16 MA-5xxx Series Actuators.
The installation of replacement actuators, in place of the obsolete series of MA-5xxx
actuators (refer to Figure-17), may require additional items. These replacement items are
required for the following reasons:
1. The AM-601 damper linkage is used to convert base actuators to damper actuators when
damper models are not available.
2. The AM-602 spacer is used when current actuators are installed on old linkages (refer
Figure-18 and Figure-19).

The actuator is sealed in oil and requires no maintenance.
Regular maintenance of the total system is recommended to assure sustained, optimum
performance.
Use the following steps to locate malfunctions:
1. Check the actuator by applying the proper supply voltage.
2. The motor should run when power is applied. If it does not run, the actuator is
inoperative and should be replaced.
3. While the motor is running, the actuator should extend. If it does not extend, check the
mechanical linkage for any damage or misadjustment which could prevent the actuator
from extending. If the mechanical linkage is inoperative, adjust the linkage or replace
the damaged components, as applicable. If the mechanical linkage moves correctly and
freely, the problem lies in the actuator and it must be replaced.
4. If applying power directly to the actuator results in correct operation of the actuator, the
actuator and linkage are functional, and the problem lies in the wiring or thermostat.
Repair or replace the wiring or thermostat, as applicable.
