Operation

A continuous 0 to 10 Vdc signal from a controller to wire 8 (Y) operates

the damper actuator. The angle of rotation is proportional to the control

signal. A 0 to 10 Vdc position feedback output signal is available

between wire 9 (U) and wire 2 (G0) to monitor the position of the

damper motor.

In the event of a power failure, the actuator holds its position. In the

event that only the control signal is lost, the actuator returns to the "0"

position.

Life Expectancy

An improperly tuned loop will cause excessive repositioning that will

shorten the life of the actuator.

Control signal adjustment

DA-044N024PAXXP and DA-044N024PA2XP: For sequencing and

the electronic limitation of the angle of rotation.

- Use the Uo potentiometer to set the offset (start point) between 0

to 5 Vdc.

- Use the U potentiometer to set the slope (span) between 2 to 30

Vdc.

The Y input is limited to a maximum of 10 Vdc. If the

sum of the offset and slope setting is greater than 10V,

the angle of rotation is reduced providing the feature of

electronic limitation of the angle of rotation.

Auxilliary Switches

DA-044N024PA2XP and DA-044N024PX2XP

Figure 15 shows the adjustable switching values for auxiliary switches

A and B.

Figure 15. Adjustable Switching Values for the Dual

Auxiliary Switches.

The auxiliary switch setting shafts rotate with the

actuator. The scale is valid only when the actuator is in

the "0" position on clockwise motion

Use the long arm of the † (AUX SWITCH ADJUSTMENT) to point to

the position of switch A. Use the narrower tab on the red ring to point to

the position of switch B.

Dual in-Line Package (DIP) Switches

For: DA-044N024PXxxx / PAxxx

Raise the protective cover from left to right to locate the DIP switches.

See Figure 2 for the location of the cover.

The factory setting is 0 (OFF).

When mechanical angle of rotation is limited, the self-adapt switch may

be turned ON so that the limited range will become the new 0 to

100% for the actuator logic. In this case, 0 to 100% is not equal to 90°.

Figure 16. Self-adapt Switch.

When turning the self-adaptive feature on or after the

software reset with the feature on, the actuator will enter a

five-minute calibration cycle as the actuator adjusts to the

rotation limits of the system. A software reset happens after

power on or may be caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD)

at levels of 2kV and above.

The position output signal U is not influenced by the self-adapt

function. The 0 to 10V feedback signal U is always proportional to 0° to

90° (or 90° to 0°).

The factory setting is clockwise.

The direction of rotation switch should match the damper rotation

movement.

Figure 17. Direction of Rotation Switch.

The factory setting is direct acting.

As the clockwise angle of rotation increases, the output voltage

increases.

If the direction of rotation is counterclockwise, the output signal switch

should be set at reverse acting to match the direction of the rotation

switch.

Figure 18. Output Signal Switch.

Manual Override

To move the damper blades and lock the position with no power

present, do the following:

1. Slide the red manual override knob toward the back of the actuator.

See Figure 19.

2. Make adjustments to the damper position.

3. Slide the red manual override knob toward the front of the actuator.

Once power is restored, the actuator returns to automated control.

Figure 19. Manual Override.

Dual Auxiliary Switch Setting

For DA-044N024FX2XP, DA-044N024PA2XP, DA-044N024PX2XP

only.

Factory setting:

- A = 5°

- B = 85°

Use a flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the A switch. The long arm of the

†points to the setting. Manually turn the red ring of the B switch. The

narrower tab on the ring points to the setting. See Figure 20.

The auxiliary switch setting shafts rotate with the actuator.

The scale is valid only when the actuator is in the "0" position on

clockwise motion.

Figure 20. Auxiliary Switch Setting Dial.

Mechanical Range Adjustment

1. Loosen the stop set screw.

2. Move it along the track to the desired position, and fasten it in

place.

Figure 21. Moving the Mechanical Range Stop.

To use the entire 0 to 10V input signal to control the mechanically

limited range, see Figure 16 for setting self-adaptive features.

Example:

Stop set screw at 70°

Self-adapt switch ON

Input signal Y = 5 Vdc

The damper will be at 35° (50% of the adjusted range.)

Note:On versions with the slope and offset features, this example

assumes

- Offset Uo = 0 Vdc

- Slope U = 10 Vdc

Mechanical Range Limitation and

Self–Adapt Feature

1. To use the entire 0 to 10V input signal to control the adjusted range,

raise the tab located on the lower left-hand side of the actuator and

locate the DIP switches. See Figure 22.

2. Set the self-adapt DIP switch to (ON).

3. Close the tab over the DIP switches.

For example, if you set the locking screw at 70° and turn the self-adapt

switch ON, a 5V input signal will drive the damper to 35° (50% of its

adjusted range).

Factory setting 0 (OFF)

Figure 22. Self-adapt Switch in the On Position.

When turning the self-adaptive feature on, or after software

reset with the feature on, the actuator will enter a five-minute

calibration cycle as the actuator adjusts to the rotation limits

of the system. The software reset happens after power on,

or may be caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) at levels

of 2 kV and above.

Factory setting:

Slope (span) U 10

Offset Uo = 0

Use a flat-blade

screwdriver to make

adjustments. The long

Determine the supply transformer rating by summing total VA of all

actuators used. It is recommended that one transformer power no

more than 10 actuators.

All six outputs of the dual auxiliary switch (A and B) must

only be connected to:

- Class 2 voltage (UL/CSA).

- Separated Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) or Protective

Extra Low Voltage (PELV) (according to HD384 4 41)

for installations requiring conformance.

Installations requiring Conformance

- All wiring for CE rated actuators must only be

separated extra low voltage (SELV) or protective extra

low voltage (PELV) per HD384-4-41.

- Use safety-isolating transformers (Class III transformer)

per EN 61558. They must be rated for 100% duty cycle.

- Overcurrent protection for supply lines is maximum

10A.

Wiring Diagrams

Counterclockwise Damper Rotation of DA-044N024Fxxxx

If the damper blades turn counterclockwise to open (CCW), reverse the

6 (violet) and 7 (orange) wires at the controller.

(For DA-044N floating control actuator series only) To

prolong actuator life, use a controller and/or software that

provide a time-out function. This function removes the

actuator drive signal after the signal has been on for a

predefined time.
