GCA Series Spring Return 142 lb-in

Electronic Damper Actuators

Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.

Description

The OpenAir 24 Vac/dc spring return 142 lb-in electronic actuator is designed for digital

or analog control of building HVAC dampers.

Features •Brushless DC motor technology with stall protection

•Bi-directional fail-safe spring return

•Patented self-centering shaft coupling

•Manual override

•142 lb-in (16 Nm) torque

•5° preload as shipped from factory

•Offset and span adjustment models available

•Models with independently adjustable dual auxiliary switches available

Application These actuators are designed for use in constant or variable air volume installations for

the control of return air, mixed air, exhaust, and face and bypass dampers requiring up

to 142 lb-in (16 Nm) torque. They are designed for applications that require the damper

to return to a fail-safe position when there is a power failure.

Operation

GCA12x and GCA22x: 2-Position Control

When power is applied, the actuator coupling moves toward the open position 90°.

GCA13x: 3-Position Control

A floating control signal controls the damper actuator. The actuator's angle of rotation is

proportional to the length of time the signal is applied. A 24 Vac/dc control signal to Y1

causes the actuator coupling to rotate clockwise. A 24 Vac/dc control signal to Y2 causes

the actuator coupling to rotate counterclockwise.

With no control voltage, the damper actuator holds its position.

GCA16x and GCA15x: Modulating Control

A continuous 0 to 10 Vdc or 2 to 10 Vdc signal from a controller to wire Y operates the

damper actuator. The angle of rotation is proportional (or inverse proportional) to the

control signal. A 0 to 10 Vdc, or 2 to 10 Vdc position feedback output signal is available

between wires U and G0 (system neutral) to monitor the position of the damper actuator.

In the event of a power failure or when the operating voltage is shut off, all actuator models

will return to the 0 position.

In the event of a blockage in a damper, actuators are overload protected over the full range

to prevent damage to the actuators.

Life expectancy An improperly tuned loop will cause excessive repositioning that will shorten the life of the

actuator.

NOTE: For GCA15x actuators with signal inversion switch set to Inverse Acting, 90°

corresponds to either a 0 to 10 Vdc or a 2 to 10 Vdc. Vdc input signal depends

on the input signal selection.

Sizing The type of actuator required depends on several factors.

1. Obtain damper torque ratings (ft-lb/ft2or Nm/m2) from the damper manufacturer.

2. Determine the area of the damper.

3. Calculate the total torque required to move the damper:

Total Torque = SF

AreaDamperRatingTorque

1 Safety Factor: When calculating the total torque required, a safety factor should be included

for unaccountable variables such as slight misalignments, aging of the damper, etc. A

suggested safety factor is 0.80.

4. Select the actuator type using Table 2.

NOTE: Mechanically coupled actuators must all be of the exact same type except for the dual

auxiliary switches and feedback potentiometer options. Make sure to use the correct

tandem-mounting bracket. See Table 2.
