Installation Instructions
SmartX MF41-6043 and MS41-6043
Non-Spring Return Direct-Coupled Actuators
Figure-1 Parts of the Smar tX Rotary Actuator
Product Description
These installation instructions describe the steps for direct
coupled mounting of the following SmartX Actuators:
35 lb-in MF41-6043 and MS41-6043 non-spring return rotary
electronic damper models.
Product Numbers
• 3-position control: MF41-6043
• Modulating control: MS41-6043
Required Tools
• 3 mm hex wrench
• 4 mm (5/32-inch) drill bit and drill
• Phillips small flat-blade screwdrivers
• Marker or pencil
Installation Notes
• Equipment damage or data loss may occur if the user
does not follow a procedure as specified.
• Estimated installation time is 30 minutes.
• Do not open the actuator. Place the actuator on
the damper shaft so that the front of the actuator is
accessible. The label is on the front side.
Installation
1. Determine whether the damper blades will rotate clockwise or counterclockwise to open. See Figure 7.
2. If the blades will rotate counterclockwise, slide the
manual override switch to manual, and move the adjustment lever to the right. Return the switch to automatic.
See Figure 10.
To wire an MF41-6043 actuator (three-position) for counterclockwise rotation, follow the Counterclockwise Damper Rotation instructions located in the Wiring Diagrams section when
wiring the actuator to the controller. If the actuator model
has any switches or adjustments, set them with the following
instructions.
DIP Switch Settings
For MS41-6043 only
1. To access the Dual In-line Package (DIP) switches, raise
the tab on the lower left side of the actuator.
See Figure 7.
Self-Adapt Switch (Factory setting = 0 or OFF)
Figure-2 Self-Adapt Switch.
2. When using the mechanical range stop screw to limit
the angle of damper blade rotation (see the Mechanical
Range Adjustment section for details), turn the selfadapt switch ON so that the adjusted range will become
the new 0…100% for the actuator logic. In this case,
0…100% is not equal to 1.
3. The position output signal U is not influenced by the
self-adapt function. The 0…10V feedback signal U is
always proportional to 0 to 1 (or 1 to 0).

Installation Instructions
4. The direction of rotation switch should match the
damper rotation movement.
Output Signal Switch (Factory setting = Direct Acting)
Figure-4 Output Signal Switch.
5. As the clockwise angle of rotation increases, the output
voltage increases.
6. If the direction of rotation is counterclockwise, the output
signal switch should be set at reverse acting to match
the direction of the rotation switch.
7. Close the tab over the DIP switches.
