Product features

Operating mode The actuator is fitted with an integrated interface for BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU and MP-
Bus. It receives the digital control signal from the control system and returns the current
status.

Converter for sensors Connection option for a sensor (passive, active or with switching contact). In this way, the
analogue sensor signal can be easily digitised and transferred to the bus systems : BACnet,
Modbus or MP-Bus.

Parametrisable actuators The factory settings cover the most common applications. Single parameters can be modified
with Belimo Assistant 2 or ZTH EU.
The communication parameters of the bus systems (address, baud rate etc.) are set with the
ZTH EU. Pressing the "Address" button on the actuator while connecting the supply voltage
resets the communication parameters to the factory setting.
Quick addressing: The BACnet and Modbus address can alternatively be set using the buttons
on the actuator and selecting 1...16. The selected value is added to the "basic address"
parameter and results in the absolute BACnet and Modbus address.

Combination analogue - communicative With conventional control by means of an analogue control signal, BACnet or Modbus can be
(hybrid mode) used for the communicative position feedback

Simple direct mounting Simple direct mounting on the damper shaft with a universal shaft clamp, supplied with an
anti-rotation device to prevent the actuator from rotating.

Manual override Manual override with push-button possible (the gear train is disengaged for as long as the
button is pressed or remains locked).

Adjustable angle of rotation Adjustable angle of rotation with mechanical end stops.

High functional reliability The actuator is overload protected, requires no limit switches and automatically stops when
the end stop is reached.

Home position The first time the supply voltage is switched on, i.e. at the time of commissioning, the actuator
carries out a synchronisation. The synchronisation is in the home position (0%).
The actuator then moves into the position defined by the control signal.

Adaptation and synchronisation An adaptation can be triggered manually by pressing the "Adaptation" button or with Belimo
Assistant 2. Both mechanical end stops are detected during the adaptation (entire setting
range).
Automatic synchronisation after pressing the manual override button is parametrised. The
synchronisation is in the home position (0%).
The actuator then moves into the position defined by the control signal.
A range of settings can be made using Belimo Assistant 2.

Quick addressing 1. Press the "Address" button until the green "Power" LED is no longer illuminated. The green
"Power" LED flashes in accordance with the previously set address.
2. Set the address by pressing the "Address" button the corresponding number of times
(1...16).
3. The green LED flashes in accordance with the address that has been entered (1...16). If the
address is not correct, it can be reset in accordance with step 2.
4. Confirm the address setting by pressing the green "Adaptation" button.
If the address is not confirmed within 60 seconds, the address procedure will be ended. Any
address change that has already been started will be discarded.
The resulting BACnet MS/TP and Modbus RTU address is made up of the set basic address
plus the short address (e.g. 100+7=107).
