Product Description
. . . . . Application - For modulating or on-off control of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper manufacturerÂ's specifications. The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05Â" in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crankarm and several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft. Control is floating point from a triac or relay, or on-off from an auxiliary contact from a fan motor contactor, controller, or manual switch. The AFR24-3-S US is constructed to meet the requirements for Double Insulated devices. These units do not require a ground connection to meet electrical code requirements. Operation - The AFR series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable fail-safe application and positive close-off on air tight dampers. The spring return system provides consistent torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator. The AFR series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing -5° to 90°. The AFR series actuators are shipped in the zero position (5° from full fail-safe) to provide automatic compression against damper gaskets for tight shut-off. When power is applied to the AFR series its Â"one time useÂ" mechanism is released. The AFR uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the intelligence to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate. The ASIC monitors and controls the brushless DC motorÂ's rotation and provides a digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the actuator in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of mechanical end switches. The AFR24-3-S version is provided with 1 built-in auxiliary switch. This SPDT switch is provided for safety interfacing or signaling, for example, for f. Belimo. Belimo. AFR24-3 US.
