4" Pneumatic Damper Actuator
MCP-1040/1140 Series
Mounting
Post
NOTE: Post mounting is typically used for internal
duct mounting.
1. Position the damper for its “normal” position.
2. Connect the damper’s blade clip or drive arm
with the clevis pin and coer pin.
3. Mount the oset bracket to either the damper
frame or the duct.
4. Check that the linkage will not bind as the shaft
extends and retracts.
Right Angle
NOTE: Right-angle mounting is typically used for
external duct mounting.
1. Slide the crank arm over the damper shaft.
2. Determine whether the damper shaft must rotate
clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW).
3. Locate the half-circle cutouts on the outside
corners of the bracket.
4. Place the appropriate half circle cutout over
(for clockwise rotation) or under (for counter
clockwise rotation) the damper shaft).
CAUTION
Pneumatic
devices must
be supplied
with clean,
dry control
air. Any other
medium (e.g.,
oil or moisture
contamination)
will cause the
device to fail.

Connections
NOTE: Use 1/4" (6 mm) O.D. FR polyethylene
tubing and only clean, dry control air.
NOTE: Models ordered with CMC-1001 positioners
are factory-piped between the positioner
and the actuator.
NOTE: If the application requires operation near
the maximum temperature and maximum
pressure, add a tubing restraint to the
actuator connection.
1. Connect the input control signal to the actuator
port (if no positioner is used) or to the positioner
(CMC-1001 input) Port 2 (see the diagram).
2. Connect the main air (20 psi) to the positioner
(CMC-1001 center) port.
3. If a positioner is not factory-piped to the actuator,
connect the actuator input port to positioner
(CMC-1001 output) Port 1.
4. Slowly apply supply pressure to fully stroke the
actuator and linkage.
5. Check for any binding. Fine tuning can be
accomplished by adjusting the balljoint on the
pushrod.

Adjustments and Calibration
DANGER
The actuator contains a large powerful spring.
Exercise extreme caution if disassembly is required.
The actuator shaft MUST be restrained to prevent
the spring from expanding.
Actuators with positioners contain an 8–13 psi
spring. A positioner allows the unit to operate over
any 5 psi span with the start-point adjustable from
3–10 psi. Replace the 5 psi spring with a 10 psi spring
to widen the span.
To change the positioner start-point:
1. Apply the desired signal pressure.
2. Rotate the start-point adjuster until the actuator
starts to stroke.

Maintenance
No routine maintenance is required. However,
care should be taken during any installation or
maintenance due to the power of the actuator. Each
component is designed for dependable, long-term
reliability, and performance. Careful installation will
also ensure long-term reliability and performance.
More Information
For specications and other information about the
actuators, see the MCP-1040/1140/04xx Series Data
Sheet on the KMC web site. For information about
the positioner, see the CMC-1001 Data Sheet.
5. Loosely mount the actuator externally on the duct
or air handling unit.
6. Leave sucient room for adjusting and servicing
the unit.
7. Position the damper for its “normal” position.
8. Tighten the crank arm set screws.
9. Check that the linkage will not bind as the shaft
extends and retracts.
10. Firmly anchor the bracket to the duct. The
actuator assembly is positioned for 90° rotation.
