APPLICATION
The 35 and 70 lb-in. Non-Spring Return Direct Coupled
Actuators (DCA) are control actuators that provide floating or
proportioning control for valves and dampers. The
proportioning actuators accept a current or voltage signal from
a controller to position the damper or valve at any chosen
point between fully open and fully closed. Floating actuators
are suitable for use with single pole double throw (spdt)
floating thermostats or two-position control systems.
Two-position control requires installation of the 201052B
Auxiliary Switch.

Location
Choose a location for the actuator that allows enough
clearance for mounting accessories and for servicing.
Mounting
These actuators are designed to open a damper or valve by
driving the shaft in either the clockwise (cw) or
counterclockwise (ccw) direction. The actuator has a
mounting tab on the bottom that secures it to a damper box
or valve linkage. When mounted correctly, this tab allows the
actuator to float without rotating relative to the shaft. The tab
is sized for 1/4 in. screw or pin (not included).
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Tightly securing mounting tab to damper housing
can damage actuator.
Once mounted, the actuator must be allowed to float;
do not fully tighten the screw.
These actuators are shipped in the fully clockwise 90° position
as viewed from the end of the damper shaft.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Mounting actuator unevenly with damper housing
can damage actuator.
Mount actuator flush with damper housing or add
spacer between mounting tab and damper box
housing (see Fig. 2).
Fig. 2. Mounting actuator to VAV box when
actuator is not flush with box.
Preparation
Before mounting the actuator onto the shaft, determine the
following:
1. Size of the shaft (3/8 in. to 1/2 in.).
2. Direction the shaft rotates to open the device (cw or
ccw). See Fig. 4.
3. Degrees of actuator stroke for opening device (45°, 60°,
or 90°).
If the shaft is 3/8 in. round or square, use part number 201391

Manual Operation (Declutch)
CAUTION
Product Damage Hazard.
Do not use manual declutch without supporting
the load.
Support actuator load independently immediately
before and during use of manual declutch lever.
Manual declutch capability is available on some actuators.
Use the manual declutch lever to manually adjust the actuator
setting. Fig. 5 shows the location of the manual declutch lever.
To operate, push the lever in the direction of the arrow on the
lever cover.
Fig. 5. Location of manual declutch lever.
Installation
After determining the direction of the shaft rotation (cw or
ccw), install the device. For valve linkage mounting, refer to
the instructions shipped with the linkage. For damper
mounting, proceed as follows:
1. Place the actuator onto the damper shaft.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Improper range stop selection can damage
light-duty dampers.
Be sure to select the proper range stop.
2. If the angle of the damper opening is either 45° or 60°,
close the actuator using the manual declutch:
a. Disengage the hub using the declutch lever; see
Manual Operation (Declutch) section.
b. Rotate the hub until the actuator gear train passes
the proper 45° or 60° setting. (Do not insert the pin
until after the actuator passes this point.)
c. Release the declutch lever.
NOTE: Dampers with 90° stroke do not require the
range stop pin.
3. Insert the range stop pin into the appropriate (cw or
ccw) 45° or 60° slot. The range stop pin clips into its
final position only after the pin passes through both
actuator plates (see Fig. 7). The range stop pin should
snap into position and not be removable manually
(see Fig. 8).
IMPORTANT
Do not fully tighten the mounting screw; the actuator
must be allowed to float.
4. With the actuator placed in its final position, fix the
mounting tab in position with a 1/4 in. screw or pin. See
Fig. 6.
5. Position the damper in the open position and securely
tighten the Allen screws into the damper shaft.

Minimum Position Setscrew
Certain ML6161, ML6174 and all ML7161, ML7174 models
are equipped with two tapped holes located in the plastic
housing at the top of the actuator. These holes can be used
with the minimum position setscrew and locknut inside the
4074ENJ Bag Assembly (see Fig. 9). The setscrew provides
for a 0° to 30° minimum position adjustment.
NOTE: Before starting operation, note that the 1/4 in.
minimum position setscrew limits closing motion,
while the range stop pin limits opening motion.
1. Determine the direction of the desired closing rotation.
2. Move the actuator to the position fully opposite the
desired closing rotation (if cw closing rotation is desired,
move the actuator to the full ccw position).
3. Determine the correct hole for the setscrew using Fig. 9
and the results of step 1.
CAUTION
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Improper hub positioning or hole selection can
permanently damage the device.
Avoid backdriving the actuator with the setscrew.
4. Remove the red cap from the desired hole. Leave the
other cap in position. The caps ensure that dust and
other impurities do not enter the gear train through
unused holes.
5. Thread the locknut fully onto the 1/4 in. setscrew.
6. Insert the setscrew into the desired hole, turning
clockwise until resistance is encountered or the locknut
contacts the housing.
7. If resistance is met before the setscrew is fully inserted,
stop and review the initial setup procedures as detailed
in steps 1 through 3.
8. Determine the angle of minimum position required for
the application. With the setscrew fully inserted, the
minimum position is 30°. With the setscrew fully out, the
minimum position is 0°.
9. Using the conversion of approximately 1.7 angular
degrees per turn of the setscrew, back the screw out of
the housing and stop slightly short of the calculated
position. This allows the setscrew to be set accurately
while taking air flow measurements.
IMPORTANT
After initiating step 10, the setscrew cannot be turned
into the housing without returning the actuator to the
fully open position (as determined in step 1). The
actuator follows the setscrew without damaging the
housing only when backed out of the housing (turned
ccw).
10. Rotate the actuator to minimum position using the
manual declutch; see Manual Operation (Declutch)
section.
11. With the actuator at minimum position, adjust the
position more accurately using air flow measurements.
NOTES:
1. After each adjustment, ensure the actuator is
completely stopped before proceeding with the
next adjustment.
2. To reduce the minimum position, turn out the set-
screw (ccw). The actuator then drives toward the
closed position.
3. Turning the setscrew in (cw) damages the
actuator housing.
4. If the device is too far closed, return to step 1.
12. When proper air flow is achieved, loosen the locknut
from the setscrew until it contacts the actuator housing,
then turn it an additional 1/8 turn to lock the setscrew in
place.

Auxiliary Switches
The 201052A or B Auxiliary Switch is used in conjunction with
the actuator. It allows for control of equipment external to the
actuator (for example, electric reheat coils and fan) at an
adjustable point in the stroke (0° to 90°) of the actuator.
The 201052A and B Auxiliary Switches are field-addable. For
mounting instructions, see form 63-2218, provided with the
device.
IMPORTANT
When operating an ML6161 or ML6174 from a two-
position controller, a 201052B Auxiliary Switch is
required for proper operation. See Fig. 12.
Auxiliary Potentiometers
The 200976A,C Auxiliary Potentiometers mount on the face of
the ML6161A,C or ML6174A,C (as shown in Fig. 15). The
potentiometer shaft has a slipping collar. If one of the two
limits of the potentiometer is exceeded, the collar continues to
rotate, causing no damage to the potentiometer itself. To
mount the potentiometer on the actuator:
1. Turn the potentiometer to align the shaft key with the
slot in the potentiometer drive.
2. Tilt the potentiometer slightly so the key faces down
toward the slot.
3. Insert the potentiometer into the slot, and push down so
the potentiometer is flush with the actuator body and the
bracket is aligned over the screw hole.
4. Insert the screw provided into the hole and fasten
securely.
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow the calibration procedures can result
in improper resistance values at desired stroke.
Fig. 15. ML6161A,C, ML6174A,C with
field-addable potentiometer.
To Calibrate the 200976A,C:
IMPORTANT
Remove the range stop pins and minimum position
setscrews prior to calibration.
1. Drive the actuator fully closed (0°) to fully open (90°)
and back again to the fully closed position. This must be
done to receive the correct resistance readings at the
appropriate degree of stroke.
2. Check the resistance values of the potentiometer with
an ohmmeter at intervals in the stroke while referring to
the table in Fig. 15 and resistance information provided
in the Specifications section.
3. Replace the range stop pins and/or the minimum
position setscrews using the appropriate procedures.

OPERATION
VAV Systems
VAV systems control the temperature within a space by
varying the volume of supply air temperature. The system
delivers air to the space at a fixed temperature. The space
thermostat controls the volume of supply air by modulating the
supply air damper. When full heating and cooling flexibility is
required in a zone, it is handled by the air temperature
system, or with reheat capability in the air terminal units. As
individual zones shut down, a central duct static pressure
controller regulates the total air flow in the system. The fan
system is sized to handle an average peak load, not the sum
of the individual peaks. As each zone peaks at a different time
of day, extra air is borrowed from the off-peak zones. This
transfer of air from low-load to high-load zones occurs only in
true VAV systems.
In pressure independent systems, individual zone airflow
sensors maintain the zone air flow rate independent of
fluctuation in the total system pressure. Pressure independent
systems, when used with controllers such as the W7620, can
react faster to changes in air flow demand; therefore, these
systems can use the faster 90-second models.
Pressure dependent systems do not incorporate an individual
zone air flow sensor and depend on a stable system pressure
to maintain flow. These systems require slower actuators such
as the seven-minute models that are typically controlled by
spdt floating wall thermostats.
The T641 is a mercury bulb floating-control type thermostat
designed for use with the seven-minute model on pressure-
dependent systems (see Fig. 16 and 17).
The T6984 is an electronic floating-control thermostat
designed for use with the 90-second and seven-minute
models (see Fig. 18).

Rotation Reversal Switch (ML7161, ML7174)
Use the rotation reversal slide switch to reverse the actuator
rotation. The switch is located on the bottom of the actuator
housing (see Fig. 5). To change rotation to counterclockwise
(ccw) , change the slide switch. In direct, 2 volts is fully
ccw and 10 volts is fully clockwise (cw); in reverse, 2 volts is
fully cw and 10 volts is fully ccw.
IMPORTANT
When reversing the rotation, make sure the switch is
fully to one side or the other. If the switch is left in the
middle, the actuator will not operate properly.
Parallel Actuators
IMPORTANT
Over time, parallel-driving actuators can become out
of sync with each other. Normally, driving all
actuators to the fully-open or fully-closed position
puts them back in sync.
ML6161, ML6174 Actuators
Using Fig. 19, parallel the CW, COM and CCW terminals.
Make certain the total connected load does not exceed the
current capacity of the controller or thermostat.
ML7161, ML7174 Actuators
VOLTAGE INPUT (2 TO 10 VDC)
Wire the (+Vdc) and (-) terminals of each actuator in parallel.
Make certain the total connected load does not exceed the
current capacity of the input signal source.
CURRENT INPUT (4 TO 20 MA)
When using a current controller (such as the W7600), wire the
ML7161, ML7174 voltage input terminals (+Vdc) and (-) in
parallel. Use a bridging resistor in parallel with the 4 to 20 mA
signal. See Fig. 20 for resistor values.
NOTE: The actuator has 45,000 ohm impedance.

CHECKOUT
ML6161, ML6174
To check out ML6161, ML6174 Actuators controlled by
electronic control systems, such as the W7620, override the
control system by programming the controller to open or close
the zone damper, as appropriate.
NOTE: Using a seven-minute actuator results in a longer
response time before noticeable damper movement.
To check out the ML6161 or ML6174:
1. Determine the direction the shaft moves to open the
device (cw or ccw). See Fig. 3.
2. Place 24 volts across the appropriate common cw or
common ccw terminals to energize the actuator. The
actuator should begin to open the device.
3. If the actuator does not run, try switching the 24 volts
across the opposite common cw or ccw terminals to
determine if the device begins to close.
4. If the actuator does not run in either direction, replace
the actuator.
For an ML6161 or ML6174 issued with an spdt floating wall
thermostat (for pressure dependent systems), use the
following checkout procedure:
1. Adjust the setpoint of the thermostat to call for cooling.
2. Observe the operation of the actuator; if the device is
closed, it should begin to open.
3. If not, adjust the setpoint of the thermostat higher to
determine if the wiring is correct.
4. If no movement is observed, check for the presence of
24 volts.
5. If using the T641 Thermostat, check that 24 volts are
present between terminals C and Y during a call for
cooling. With proper wiring and 24 volts present, the
actuator should operate correctly.
6. If not, replace the actuator.
ML7161, ML7174
Check input impedance on the actuator with an ohmmeter.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to disconnect all wiring to the actuator before
connecting the ohmmeter.
1. Verify resistance readings are as follows:
• 45K ohms ±5K ohms, across the (+Vdc) and (-)
terminals.
• 536 ohms ±10 ohms, across the (+mA) and (-)
terminals.
2. If the resistance readings are correct, reconnect the
actuator and check for 24 Vac at terminals T and T2.
With the correct power present at T and T2, check the
motion of the shaft/actuator by ramping the setpoint up
and down. This causes the actuator to move from one
limit to the other and back (from fully ccw to fully cw and
back to fully ccw).
NOTE: Remember that the actuator takes 90 seconds
to move from one limit to the other.
3. When the actuator is used with electronic control
systems such as the W7600 Commercial Zone System,
override the control system by programming the
controller to open or close the damper, as appropriate.
4. If the actuator continues to operate incorrectly, check
Table 6 for the proper input signal/actuator drive
relationship at the (+Vdc) and (-) terminals.
5. If the actuator does not operate according to Table 6
values, replace the actuator.
