Safety notes
• The device must not be used outside the specified field of application, especially not

! in aircraft or in any other airborne means of transport.

• Outdoor application: only possible in case that no (sea)water, snow, ice, insolation
or aggressive gases interfere directly with the actuator and that is ensured that the
ambient conditions remain at any time within the thresholds according to the data
sheet.
• Caution: Power supply voltage!
• Only authorised specialists may carry out installation. All applicable legal or
institutional installation regulations must be complied during installation.
• The device may only be opened at the manufacturer’s site. It does not contain any
parts that can be replaced or repaired by the user.
• Cables must not be removed from the device.
• To calculate the torque required, the specifications supplied by the damper
manufacturers concerning the cross-section, the design, the installation site and the
ventilation conditions must be observed.
• The device contains electrical and electronic components and must not be disposed
of as household refuse. All locally valid regulations and requirements must be
observed.

Product features
Mode of operation The actuator moves the damper to the operating position at the same time as
tensioning the return spring. The damper is turned back to the safety position by spring
energy when the supply voltage is interrupted.
Simple direct mounting Simple direct mounting on the damper spindle with an universal spindle clamp,
supplied with an anti-rotation device to prevent the actuator from rotating.
High functional reliability The actuator is overload protected, requires no limit switches and automatically stops
when the end stop is reached.
Adjustable angle of rotation Adjustable angle of rotation with mechanical end stops.
Flexible signalization With adjustable auxiliary switch (0 ... 100%)
