Location and Mounting
The ML4105, ML4115, ML8105 and ML8115 DCA are
designed to open a damper by driving the damper shaft in
either clockwise or counterclockwise direction.
The actuator housing has two slots on the bottom that, with a
205649 Mounting Bracket, secure it flush to a damper box
(see Fig. 2). When mounted correctly, these slots allow the
actuator to float without rotating relative to the damper shaft.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Tightly securing actuator to damper housing can
damage actuator.
Mount actuator to allow it to float along its vertical axis.
NOTE: ML4105, ML4115, ML8105, and ML8115 Actuators
are shipped in the fully closed position.
Fig. 2. Mounting actuator to damper housing.
Preparation
Before mounting the actuator onto the damper shaft,
determine the damper shaft size (3/8 in. to 1/2 in.
[10 mm to 13 mm]).
If damper shaft is 3/8 in. (10 mm) round or square, use part
number 201391 Shaft Adapter (not supplied with actuator).
Place adapter opposite set screws (see Fig. 3).
NOTE: The damper shaft adapter centers a 3/8 in. (10 mm)
damper shaft in the hub. Failure to use adapter can
cause mounting screws to loosen. A 1/2 in. (13 mm)
damper shaft does not require an adapter.

OPERATION
The ML4105, ML4115, ML8105, and ML8115 DCA are
designed for use in Smoke Control Systems. If power fails, the
actuator spring returns to the 0° position. The actuator mounts
flush with the damper box. The actuator drives from 0° to 95°
and spring returns back to 0°.
IMPORTANT
A break in power of less than two seconds can cause
the actuator to spring-return 5 degrees or less and
remain in place until a break in power of longer
duration.
The actuators are operated by an spst two-position controller.
When using an spst two-position controller, the actuator drives
to the damper fully open position when controller contact
makes and spring returns to the damper fully closed position
when controller contact breaks. The actuator drops to holding
power level on detection of stall, independent of hub position.
Cycling
The actuator and the internal spring are designed so that no
special cycling during long-term holding is required.
Honeywell recommends following all local, state, and national
codes for periodic testing of the entire smoke control system.
Refer to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) National
Fire Codes
®
: NFPA90A, NFPA92A, and NFPA92B for your
application.
Temperature Indicator
The temperature indicator, located on the cover of the
actuator, provides evidence that the ambient temperature has
exceeded 200°F (93°C). This is an indication that something
in the building has caused temperatures to rise well above the
long-term actuator operation temperature. While the actuator
is capable of operating at 350°F (176°C) for extended periods
of time, this indicator provides a visual signal that the actuator
has been exposed to high temperatures for an undetermined
period of time. The indicator provides a visual indication to fire
authorities regarding the extent of damage after an event in
the building.
IMPORTANT
If the indicator turns black, replace the actuator.
NOTE: The actuator is designed to operate for 30 minutes
during a one-time excursion to 350°F (176°C).
CHECKOUT
ML4105A,B and ML4115A,B (120 Vac model)
1. Verify that the indicator has not turned black (see
Temperature Indicator section).
2. Check damper position.
3. Connect 120 Vac to the black and white leadwires to
drive the damper to the open position. The actuator
