The Belimo AFB24-SR-S modulating damper actuator, spring return, reversable with CW/CCW mounting (AFX24-SR-S)
Application
For fail-safe, modulating control of dampers in HVAC systems. Actuator sizing should be done in accordance with the damper manufacturer’s specifications. The actuator is mounted directly to a damper shaft up to 1.05” in diameter by means of its universal clamp. A crank arm and several mounting brackets are available for applications where the actuator cannot be direct coupled to the damper shaft. The actuator operates in response to a DC 2…10 Vor, with the addition of a 500Ω resistor, a 4…20 mA control input from an electronic controller or positioner. A DC 2…10 V feedback signal is provided for position indication. A common installation technique for control of multi-section dampers is to use the U5 position feedback of one actuator (Master) to control multiple actuators (Slaves). Belimo refers to this as Master/Slave control. The only requirement is that the actuators are installed on MECHANICALLY SEPARATE damper shafts.
Operation
The AF..24-SR-S series actuators provide true spring return operation for reliable fail-safe application and positive close off on air tight dampers. The spring return system provides constant torque to the damper with, and without, power applied to the actuator. The AF..24-SR-S series provides 95° of rotation and is provided with a graduated position indicator showing 0° to 95°. The AF..24-SR-S uses a brushless DC motor which is controlled by an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) and a microprocessor. The microprocessor provides the intelligence to the ASIC to provide a constant rotation rate and to know the actuator’s exact fail-safe position. The ASIC monitors and controls the brushless DC motor’s rotation and provides a digital rotation sensing function to prevent damage to the actuator in a stall condition. The actuator may be stalled anywhere in its normal rotation without the need of mechanical end switches. The AF..24-SR-S versions are provided with two built-in auxiliary switches. These SPDT switches provide safety interfacing or signaling, for example, for fan start-up. The switching function at the fail-safe position is fixed at 10°, the other switch function is adjustable between 10° to 90°. The AF..SR-S actuator is shipped at 5° (5° from full fail-safe) to provide automatic compression against damper gaskets for tight shut-off. ATTENTION: AF..24-SR-S cannot be tandem mounted on the same damper or valve shaft. Only On/Off and MFT AF.. models can be used for tandem mount applications.
