When multiple 24 Vac actuators are powered from the same transformer, the actuators must
be in phase. Connect the same transformer lead to the “G” terminal on all actuators and
same transformer lead to the “H” terminal on all actuators.

selection tables beginning on page 3, for an index of External Wiring Figures versus actuator
models and control signals. The requirements for the field control wiring are shown below.
SPST Control Signal
Refer to Figure-3 and Figure-4. Since the SPST switch is controlling the power to the
actuator, the control wiring is limited to the power wiring shown above.
SPDT Control Signal
Refer to Figure-5 and Figure-6. Use 18 gage wire for runs up to 1,000 ft. (305 m) between
the actuator and the SPDT switch. Use larger gage wires on longer runs.
Barber-Colman Microtherm Control
Refer to External Wiring Figure-7 through Figure-13. Use 18 gage wire for runs up to
1,000 ft. (305 m) between the actuator and the Barber-Colman Microtherm controller. Use
larger gage wires on longer runs.
135 to 1000 Ω Slidewire Control
Refer to External Wiring Figure-14 and Figure-15. Use 18 gage three-conductor twisted
leads (part number W-103 or equal) for runs up to 500 ft. (152 m) between the actuator and
the slidewire controller. Use larger gage wires for longer runs.
Voltage Vdc Control
Refer to External Wiring Figure-16 through Figure-18. Use 18 gage three-conductor twisted
leads (part number W-103 or equal) for runs up to 1,000 ft. (305 m) between the actuator
and the Vdc controller. Use larger gage wires for longer runs.
Installation Instructions
Caution: Use 18 gage three-conductor shielded cable (twisted) when it is necessary to
install the control leads in the same conduit with power wiring, or when high RFI/EMI
generating devices are near. Do not connect the shield to earth ground or any leads or
terminals.
Current mAdc Control
Refer to External Wiring Figure-19 through Figure-23. Use 18 gage two-conductor twisted
leads (part number W-102 or equal) for runs up to 500 ft. (152 m) between the actuator and
the slidewire controller. Use larger gage wires for longer runs.

DDC controllers may be used to control these actuators according to one of the methods
described below.

Refer to External Wiring Figure-5 and Figure-6. Requires two digital output points
programmed as a drive open, drive closed configuration. The digital output must be rated for
switching 0.9 amp at 24 Vac .
Voltage Vdc Control
Refer to External Wiring Figure-16, Figure-17, and Figure-18. Requires an analog output
from the DDC controller, programmed to provide the desired voltage range. Also requires a
CP-8301-120 electronic actuator drive between the DDC controller and the actuator.
Current mAdc Control
Refer to External Wiring Figure-19, Figure-20, and Figure-21. Requires an analog output
from the DDC controller, programmed to provide the desired current range (usually 4 to 20
mA). Also requires a CP-8391-913 electronic actuator drive between the DDC controller and
the actuator.

Theory of Operation
Actuator variations are shown in Figure-24 through Figure-32. Refer to the actuator
selection tables beginning on page 3 to determine which Internal Wiring Figure applies to a
certain actuator.
The actuators are powered by shaded pole motors that are of the induction type, using what
is commonly know as a squirrel cage rotor. These motors, like all single phase induction
motors, must be provided with some means of starting. This is accomplished by the shading
coils in the poles of the motor and hence the name “Shaded Pole.” However, unlike most
single phase induction motors, the shading coils are also essential for running.
The field coil produces a magnetic field in the iron core (stator) and in the rotor. When
actuator terminal x is shorted to a terminal attached to CW shading coils, it causes a lag in
part of the field which provides the equivalent of a rotating field. This rotating field induces a
voltage and current in the rotor bars, and the attraction between the rotating field and these
current carrying bars pulls the rotor around with the field in a CW direction. When actuator
terminal x is shorted to a terminal attached to CCW shading coils, it operates the same
except it drives the actuator CCW. A voltage of 24 to 30 Vac with current of 9 amps is induced
in the shading coils in much the same manner as the secondary of a transformer.
