Belimo LMB series Guide

General Information

Preliminary steps

1. Belimo actuators with NEMA 1 or NEMA 2

ratings should be mounted indoors in a

dry, relatively clean environment free from

corrosive fumes. If the actuator is mount-

ed outdoors, a protective enclosure must

be used to shield the actuator.

2. For new construction work, order dampers

with extended shafts. Instruct the install-

ing contractor to allow space for mounting

the Belimo actuator on the shaft.

For replacement of existing gear train actua-

tors, there are two options:

A. From a performance standpoint, it is

best to mount the actuator directly

onto the damper shaft.

B. If the damper shaft is not accessible,

mount the non-spring return actuator

with a ZG-NMA or ZG-GMA crankarm

kit, and a mounting bracket (ZG-100,

ZG-101, ZG-103, ZG-104)

Direction of Rotation Switch

Non-spring return actuators have a reversing

switch on the cover. Switch position indicates

start point. For the non-spring return, with the

switch in position 1, the actuator rotates clock-

wise with a decrease in voltage or current.

With the switch in position 0, the actuator

rotates counterclockwise with a decrease in

voltage or current.

The non-spring return rotates clockwise when the

switch is in the 1 position and power is applied to

wire #2. When power is applied to wire #3 the

actuator rotates counter clockwise.

Rotating the switch to 0 reverses the control logic.

During checkout, the switch position can be tem-

porarily reversed and the actuator will reverse its

direction. This allows the technician a fast and

easy way to check the actuator operation without

having to switch wires or change settings on the

thermostat. When the check-out is complete,

make sure the switch is placed back to its

original position.

The …-S model actuators are equipped with an

adjustable auxiliary switch used to indicate damp-

er position or to interface additional controls or

equipment. Switching positions can be set over

the full 0 to 95° rotation simply by setting

a switch on the actuator.

Mounting Bracket

Mounting Installation

Reversible Clamp Quick Mount (NM, AM, GM)

1. Turn the damper shaft until the blades are

fully closed.

2. ① Slip the actuator’s universal clamp over the

damper shaft. Make sure that the duct and

the controls on the cover are accessible.

Place the actuator in the desired mounting

position.

➁ Hand tighten the two nuts on the actuators

universal clamp.

3. ① Disengage the actuator gear train by

pressing the manual override button and

rotate the clamp until centered.

➁ Slide the anti-rotation strap up under the

actuator so it engages the actuator at the

center of the cutout. Bend the bracket as

needed to support the rear of the actuator.

Secure to ductwork with self-tapping

screws (No. 8 recommended).

4. ① Loosen the nuts on the universal clamp.

Press the manual override button and

rotate the clamp to about 5° from the

closed position (1/16 to 1/8” between stop

and clamp).

➁ Tighten the two nuts on the universal

clamp with a 8, 10 or 12mm wrench

(see table, column D on page 2 for

required torque).

5. ① Snap on the reflective position indicator.

➁ Adjust end-stops, if required

6. Mount actuators indoors. If mounted out-

doors, use approved protective enclosure.

The damper is now fully closed but the actuator

is 5° from fully closed. This is called “pre-load-

ing” the actuator. When the actuator is powered

and sent to the closed position: it will put its full

torque on the shaft compressing the edge and

blade seals. This ensures that the damper will

meet its leakage rating. The actuator is elec-

tronically protected from overload and will not be

damaged.

Testing the installation without power

1. Disengage the gear train with the manual

override button and move the shaft from

closed to open to closed. Ensure that there

is no binding and that the damper goes fully

open and closes with 5° of actuator stroke

left.

2. Correct any problems and retest.

Manual Override

The Belimo non-spring return actuators have a

black, “manual override button” located on the top

of the housing. Press this button and the gear train

is disengaged so the damper shaft can be moved

manually. Release the button and the gear train is

re-engaged.

Use the manual override to test the installa-

tion without power. For tight shut-off

the damper should close with

5° of actuator stroke left.

Operations

Mechanical Features

Mechanical Angle of Rotation Limiting

The adjustable stops are needed when there is

no damper stop or if you want the damper to

stop rotating before it reaches its stops. The

non-spring return actuators can be indefinitely

stalled in any position without harm.

1. Loosen the two end stops with a No. 2 Phillips

head screwdriver being careful not to unscrew

the captive nut under the slot.

2. Move the stops (in 2.5° steps) to the desired

position and re-tighten the screws.
