Electronic Damper Actuator.
Applications
The OpenAir GBB Series Damper Actuators are used in
constant or variable air volume installations for the control
of return air, mixed air, exhaust, and face and bypass
dampers that require up to 221 lb.-in. (25 Nm) torque.
Models are available with either an appliance cable for
wiring in conduit or a plenum-rated cable for applications
where conduit is not required.
