For two-position control use proportional rating of the same actuator with
positive positioner. Damper ratings are nominal and based on standard
(not low leakage) dampers at 1" (25.4 mm) W.C. static pressure and 2000
fpm (10 m/s) velocity.

b

Requires 20 psi be available to the actuator.

c

Requires minimum 15 psi be available to the actuator.
