IMPORTANT: Use this M9310 Series Electric
Non-Spring Return Actuator only to control
equipment under normal operating conditions.
Where failure or malfunction of the electric actuator
could lead to personal injury or property damage to
the controlled equipment or other property,

Mounting
Adjusting the angular rotation stops
Mounting the actuator
1. Position the damper until it is fully closed. See
Table 2 for shaft diameters and required torques.
IMPORTANT: The M9310 Series actuator is not
rated for outdoor use. Do not mount the M9310
outdoors without the M9000-321 weathershield kit,
or it may fail to operate.

Risk of Electric Shock.
Disconnect the power supply before making electrical
connections. Contact with components carrying
hazardous voltage can cause electric shock and may
result in severe personal injury or death.
IMPORTANT: When using the M9310-HGA-3
actuator in floating mode, verify that the DIP switch
is positioned on the 2 to 10 VDC option. This setting
ensures compatibility with the controller’s triac
output exhibiting voltage leakage. See Figure 20 for
DIP switch placement.

Auto calibration mode
The actuator enters auto calibration mode and
positions the coupler to the maximum and minimum
end stops to identify the range of travel.
Accessing the dip switches and LEDs
Locate the oval cover on the front of the unit and pull
the cover outward.
To complete the auto calibration process, press
Enter/Autocal until all three LEDs are on. See
Figure 20 for viewing the DIP switches and LEDs.
Operation
The valid Offset values are 0 to 10 VDC and the valid
Span values are 2 to 10 VDC. The maximum feedback
voltage of the actuator is 10 VDC.

Risk of Property Damage.
Do not apply power to the system before checking all
wiring connections. Short circuited or improperly
connected wires may result in permanent damage to
the equipment.

Setting the SPAN and OFFSET proportional
command signal to other values
1. Set DIP switch one and two before proceeding.
Refer to Figure 20 for DIP switch placement.
2. Connect a digital multimeter between the orange
(feedback) and black (common) wires. See Wiring
for more wiring information.
3. Press Enter/Autocal.
To adjust the span and offset, press but not hold
Enter/Autocal. Holding Enter/Autocal for longer
than three seconds triggers an autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns on, and the multimeter
displays the current offset value.
4. Press INC.
The Offset Adj. LED flashes. The voltage reading
on the multimeter increases 0.5 VDC each time
you press the button. Press INC. until you reach
the desired voltage.
If no further action is required, the Offset Adj. LED
stops flashing after 10 seconds. The actuator exits
the program mode and the original offset value
remains unchanged.
5. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns off indicating that the
desired Offset Adj. value was recorded. The Span
Adj. turns on, and the multimeter displays the
present SPAN value.
6. Press INC.
The Span Adj. LED flashes. The voltage reading on
the multimeter increases by 0.5 VDC each time
you press the button. Press INC. until you reach
the desired voltage.
If no further action is required, the Offset and Adj.
LED stops flashing after 10 seconds. The actuator
exits the program mode and the original offset
value remains unchanged.
7. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Span Adj. LED turns off indicating that the
desired Span Adj. setting is saved, and the
actuator exits the program mode.
Reading the SPAN and OFFSET proportional
command signal voltage settings
1. Connect a digital multimeter between the orange
(feedback) and black (common) wires. See Wiring
for more wiring information.
2. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns on, and the multimeter
displays the current offset value.
3. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Offset Adj. LED turns off, the Span Adj. LED
turns on, and the multimeter displays the present
SPAN value.
4. Press Enter/Autocal.
The Span Adj. LED turns off.

Clearing the SPAN and OFFSET proportional
command signal voltage setting
Cycle DIP switch two between 2 to 10 and 0 to 10. The
active setting is the final state of DIP switch two.
Installing the cover over the dip switches and
LEDs
Repositioning the actuator hub
Removing the conduit connector
You can remove the conduit connector at the bottom of
the unit if the connector is damaged. To remove the
connector:
1. Insert a screwdriver into the slot on the housing.
2. Rotate the conduit connector counterclockwise and
remove it from the actuator.
Repair information
If the M9310 Series Electric Non-Spring Return
Actuators fail to operate within its specifications,
replace the unit. For a replacement actuator, contact
the nearest Johnson Controls® representative.
IMPORTANT: Once you have verified the DIP
switch placement and LED activity, place the oval
cover back onto the unit before repositioning the
actuator hub.
IMPORTANT: The manual override is automatically
released when the button is released.
Do not rotate the manual override shaft faster than 3
seconds for each rotation. Rotating the manual
override shaft faster than the recommended speed
may result in permanent damage to the actuator.
