Product features

Application For On/Off, fail-safe control of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator sizing should be done in
accordance with the damper manufacturer’s specifications. Control is On/Off from an auxiliary
contact, or a manual switch. The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft from 1/4” up
to 1/2” in diameter by means of its universal clamp, 1/2” shaft centered at delivery. A crank
arm and several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot
be direct coupled to the damper shaft.

Operation The TF 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 TF series provides
95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing 0° to 90°. The
actuator may be stalled anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of mechanical end
switches. Power consumption is reduced in holding mode. The actuator is double insulated so
an electrical ground connection is not necessary.
Safety Note: Screw a conduit fitting into the actuator’s bushing. Jacket the actuator’s input and
output wiring with suitable flexible conduit. Properly terminate the conduit in a suitable
junction box.

Typical specification On/Off spring return damper actuators shall be direct coupled type which require no crank
arm and linkage and be capable of direct mounting to a shaft up to a 1/2” diameter and
center a 1/2” shaft. The actuators must be designed so that they may be used for either
clockwise or counter clockwise fail-safe operation. Actuators shall be protected from overload
at all angles of rotation. If required, one SPDT auxiliary switch shall be provided having the
capability of being adjustable. Actuators with auxiliary switch must be constructed to meet the
requirements for Double Insulation so an electrical ground is not required to meet agency
listings. Actuators shall be cULus listed, have a 5 year warranty, and be manufactured under
ISO 9001 International Quality Control Standards. Actuators shall be as manufactured by
Belimo.

Electrical installation

Warning! Live electrical components!

During installation, testing, servicing and troubleshooting of this product, it may be necessary
to work with live electrical components. Have a qualified licensed electrician or other individual
who has been properly trained in handling live electrical components perform these tasks.
Failure to follow all electrical safety precautions when exposed to live electrical components
could result in death or serious injury.
Meets cULus requirements without the need of an electrical ground connection.
Actuators with appliance cables are numbered.
Provide overload protection and disconnect as required.
Actuators may be connected in parallel if not mechanically linked. Power consumption and
input impedance must be observed.
