the bottom of the actuator (shown in Figure 2), and

slide the actuator onto the shaft.

5. Refer to the “A” Dimensions in Table 1 and

Figure 1 to position the anti-rotation bracket tab

midway in the actuator slot.

IMPORTANT: The anti-rotation bracket tab

must be placed midway in the actuator slot to

prevent actuator binding and premature wear.

6. Use the anti-rotation bracket as a guide, and drill

the holes in the damper frame or duct for the

bracket (based on the measurements obtained in

Table 1 and Figure 1).

Note: When installing the actuator to a

Johnson Controls damper, use the existing holes in

the damper frame.

7. Attach the anti-rotation bracket to the damper

frame or duct with the two self-tapping screws

provided, using a 1/4 in. (7 mm) flat-blade

screwdriver or 5/16 in. (8 mm) nut driver.

IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the mounting

screws to avoid stripping the threads.

8. Secure the coupler to the shaft using a 5/16 in.

(8 mm) square socket or 3/8 in. (10 mm) 12-point

socket to tighten the coupler set screw against the

damper shaft. (See Figure 1.)

9. Continue tightening the coupler set screw to

achieve a torque of 150 to 180 lb∙in

(17 to 20 N∙m).

Note: Keep the actuator parallel to the mounting

surface while tightening the set screw.

10. Press and hold the gear release lever, and turn

the shaft by hand to ensure the damper rotates

from its fully closed to fully open position.

11. Release the gear release lever.

Figure 5: Setting the Rotation Range

Use the center of the coupler set screw as a pointer to

observe the position on the scale when rotating the

coupler from one side to the other.

Examples:

•For a rotation range of 90°, move both end-stop

set screws fully up as shown in Figure 5.

•To set a rotation range of 60°, leave one end-stop

set screw fully up, and adjust the other set screw

so the coupler rotates between the 30 and 90°

indicator marks on the scale.

•For a rotation range of 45°, adjust both end-stop

set screws so the coupler rotates between the

30 and 75° indicator marks on the scale.

•To set a rotation range of 30°, move both end-stop

set screws so the coupler rotates between the

30 and 60° indicator marks on the scale.

To accurately set the end stops:

1. Press and hold the gear release lever. Turn the

actuator coupler to the minimum rotation position

for the minimum ventilation flow required.

2. Release the gear release lever.

3. Use a No. 2 Phillips screwdriver to loosen the

end-stop set screw on the actuator that is closest

to the stop gear, and move it in its slot so it is tight

against the stop gear. (See Figure 5.)

IMPORTANT: Do not remove the end-stop

set screws, as this could interfere with the actuator’s

operation.

4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 to set the desired

maximum rotation position.

5. Tighten both end-stop set screws to a minimum of

25 lb∙in (2.8 N∙m).

6. Turn the actuator coupler and the damper shaft to

the minimum rotation position.

Setup and Adjustments

Direction of Action

In the Direct Acting (DA) mode, a minimum control

signal drives the actuator to the full CCW position, and

a maximum control signal drives it fully CW. For

Reverse Acting (RA) operation, a minimum control

signal drives the actuator to the full CW position, and a

maximum control signal drives it fully CCW. To set an

actuator for RA, proceed to the appropriate section for

the actuator model.

Floating Application: AGx and IGx Models

For CW rotation and RA operation, apply 24 VAC to

the Common (COM) and CW Terminals. For CCW

rotation and DA operation, apply 24 VAC to the COM

and CCW Terminals. (See Figure 6.)

CCW

Figure 6: Direction of Action on

AGx and IGx Model

On/Off Application: IGx Model Only

Drive the IGx model as an On/Off actuator by wiring

continuous 24 VAC power to the COM and

CW Terminals. At the same time, command the

actuator to open by powering the CCW Terminal with

24 VAC. To drive the actuator back to the full CW

position, remove the 24 VAC signal from the CCW

Terminal.

Jumpers (GGx Models)

The M9106-GGx-2 proportional actuators are

factory set with Jumper W2 in the 0 to 10 VDC position

and Jumper W3 in the VDC position.

The VDC/mA terminal is the control input signal.

Jumper W3 must be in the VDC position for

voltage input and in the mA position for current input.

The FB Terminal is the feedback output. (See

Figure 7.)

Mode Switches (IGx Models)

The M9106-IGx-2 models offer adjustable rotation

times of 1, 1.5, 2, 5.5, and 11 minutes (factory set for

1 minute). Switch settings determine the rotation time

of the IGx models. Refer to Figure 8 to position the

mode switches for the desired rotation time.

M9104-xGx-2 1.5-minute models. The 5.5- and

11-minute settings are replacements for the 35 lb∙in

(4 N∙m) EDA-2040 and the ATP-2040 models.

Feedback Signal

The feedback signal will vary with a change to the

rotation range. For the GGA and GGC models, a

change to the rotation range changes the feedback

signal and the operating range proportionally. For the

AGF model, resistance feedback is reduced

corresponding to the reduced rotation range. (See

Figure 9.)
