ML6185  
Spring Return  
Direct CoupledActuator  
The ML6185 Spring Return Direct Coupled  
RotaryActuatorisafloatingcontrolmotorthatcan  
be used with controls that provide switched or  
floating single pole double throw (spdt) control  
output to operate dampers in heating, ventilation,  
and air conditioning (HVAC) applications.  
Mounts directly on horizontal 3/8 in., 1/2 in., and  
5/8 in. round and square damper shafts by using the  
appropriate insert. Most models are shipped with 1/  
2 in. insert.  
Available with or without a time-out feature. Models  
without the time-out feature are designed to be used  
with intelligent building management system and/or  
controller.  
Provides 50 lb-in. running and spring return torque.  
Standard models have two 8 mm x 12 mm long set  
screws for securing the damper shaft. Actuator  
models are available for various shaft sizes that will  
allow the damper shaft to operate centered inside the  
output hub.  
Magnetic coupling eliminates the need for mechani-  
cal stops or limit switch adjustments by limiting  
stall torque to 130 lb-in. maximum.  
95° stroke provides necessary compression of rub-  
ber/neoprene gaskets commonly used on 90° low  
leakage dampers.  
Standard one-meter cable with color-coded lead-  
wires allows external wire connections with 1/2 in.  
conduit connectors.  
88 second synchronous timing can eliminate need  
forfeedbackpositionindicationinclosed-looptem-  
perature control applications.  
Can mount two or more actuators on one damper  
shaft to increase output torque for use on dampers  
larger than 16 square feet.  
Removable splined output hub permits premounting  
ofthehubonthedampershaft, providinginstallation  
flexibility.  
Reversible mounting allows actuator to be used for  
either clockwise (cw) or counterclockwise (ccw)  
spring rotation.

Installation  
WHEN INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT…  
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow  
them could damage the product or cause a hazardous  
condition.  
2. Check the ratings and description given in this specifi-  
cationtomakesuretheproductissuitableforyourapplication.  
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service  
technician.  
A mounting bracket (see Fig. 1) is provided with some  
models to aid in installing the actuator. The bracket can be  
bent to any shape to support the actuator at the correct  
height.  
The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator can also be three-  
point mounted using the two front gear housing slots and  
the adapter bracket. Secure two screws through the two  
front gear housing slots and position the adapter bracket to  
secure the rear of the actuator. Three point mounting is used  
for foot mounting the actuator or internally mounting the  
actuator in the duct, when direct shaft coupling is not  
possible.  
4. After installation is complete, check out product op-  
eration as provided in these instructions.  
CAUTION  
1. Disconnect power before installation to prevent  
electrical shock or equipment damage.  
2. Never turn motor output hub by hand or with a  
wrench.  
CAUTION  
Do not use the actuator as a shaft bearing. The  
actuator must be used only to supply rotational  
torque. To prevent damage to the actuator, avoid  
any side loads to the actuator output coupling  
bearings.  
3. Do not install actuator in areas with acid fumes  
or other deteriorating vapors that might attack  
the metal parts of the actuator.  
4. Do not install actuator in areas with escaping  
gas or other explosive vapors that could be  
ignited by a spark from the actuator or attached  
accessories.  
PREPARATION  
Before installing the ML6185 on the damper shaft,  
determine the opening direction of the damper shaft to  
determine the correct spring return rotation and correctly  
connect the wiring. The ML6185 can be mounted to pro-  
vide clockwise or counterclockwise spring return. Reverse  
the actuator, if necessary, to provide the desired spring  
action.  
LOCATION  
Install the actuator in any location free from acid fumes or  
other deteriorating vapors that might attack the metal parts of  
the actuator. Make sure the location is not subject to escaping  
gas or other explosive vapors that could accidentally be  
ignited by a spark from the actuator or its attached parts.  
Install the actuator in a location that allows enough clear-  
ance for mounting accessories and for servicing.

Direct Coupled Actuator.  
Installing the Actuator for Three-Point Mounting  
The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator is designed with  
removable hub sleeves to accommodate specific damper  
shaft sizes. Proper sleeve selection is necessary when three-  
point mounting is used to avoid excessive strain on the  
output gear. Most ML6185 Actuators are shipped with a  
1/2 in. hub sleeve. For field use, several hub sleeve sizes are  
available. See the Accessories listing in the Specifications  
section. Shaft sizes are stamped on the sleeves.

The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator can be mounted  
directly on the motor shaft with the actuator in any position  
when the actuator housing is parallel with the damper  
housing or frame. (See Fig. 7.)  
The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator has a reversible  
output hub. The hub is factory mounted on the top of the  
actuator gear housing. When attaching to damper shafts  
less than 3.5 in. (76 mm) long, or for ease of mounting, the  
output hub can be mounted to the inside of the actuator gear  
housing. See Fig. 3. Be careful when removing the retain-  
ing ring that secures the output hub to the actuator housing.  
Use a flatheaded screwdriver to pry the ring loose.

Operation  
The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator is designed to be  
used in ventilating and air conditioning installations to  
operate dampers, ventilation flaps and louvers requiring up  
to 50 lb-in. torque. If the power fails, the actuator will  
spring return to the starting position. The actuator is de-  
signed for reversible mounting. Arrows are molded into the  
covers to show the spring return direction. The larger cover  
shows a counterclockwise (ccw) spring rotation; the smaller  
cover shows a clockwise (cw) spring rotation.  
The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator is operated by an  
spdt floating controller. When using an spdt floating con-  
troller, the actuator will be driven toward its fully open  
position when the controller makes R to B and toward the  
fully closed position when the controller makes R to W. It  
stops when neither contact is made.  
four distinct positions where the indicator can be placed.  
The indicator can be removed (by first removing the output  
hub) to provide proper damper orientation. The indicator  
can be indexed to show cw or ccw open or closed, using the  
detents that are 90° apart. See Fig. 12. If the spring return  
position is the open position, rotate the indicator until it  
points to 90 on the scale. If the spring return position is the  
closed position, rotate the indicator until it points to zero on  
the scale. A detent can be felt at both stops; the detents  
maintain the indicator position.  
The ML6185D and ML6185F models provide a time-  
out function that removes power from the actuator sub-  
motor if the actuator remains in one position (closed, open  
or any intermediate position) for longer than a nominal 100  
seconds. This time-out function helps to extend actuator  
life.  
IMPORTANT: The ML6185 is designed to respond to  
instantaneous contact closures from a DDC Con-  
troller. Be careful not to short cycle the actuator.  
Unstabledampercontrolmaycauseprematureactua-  
tor failure.  
IMPORTANT: The ML6185 was designed to provide 7500  
springreturns;therefore,theactuatorcanbeunpowered  
daily for night shutdown control. However, rapidly  
cycling the actuator by removing control voltage will  
lead to premature spring failure.  
The actuator has a position indicator to depict shaft  
position. As the indicator moves with the shaft, it gives an  
angular representation of the damper position. There are

CHECKOUT  
Checkout  
The ML6185 Direct Coupled Actuator can be checked  
out either directly or by using a controller.  
4. Connect 24 Vac to the appropriate leadwires (red to  
blue or red to yellow) to move the damper to the opposite  
position. The ML6185 should drive the damper.  
IMPORTANT: When power is interrupted, the actuator  
returnstothenormalstartingpositionusingthespring  
mechanism. When power is restored, the controller  
input will not operate the actuator until the spring is  
fully wound and locked. The spring winding process  
takes approximately 100 seconds, depending on the  
number of degrees of spring return remaining at power  
interrupt (i.e., 10° of spring return remaining takes 10  
seconds). (If the actuator is not in the closed position,  
it will run to the closed position as the spring is  
winding.) Once the spring is locked in its fully wound  
position, the actuator responds to inputs to the red-to-  
blue or red-to-yellow leadwires.  
5. If the actuator does not run, verify that the actuator is  
properly installed for either cw  
or ccw  
rotation.  
6. If the actuator operates in the opposite direction than  
desired, reverse the blue and yellow leadwires.  
7. If the actuator is correctly installed and still does not  
run, replace the actuator.  
CONTROLLER CHECKOUT  
1. Adjust the setpoint of the controller to call for cooling.  
Observe the actuator.  
2. If the damper is closed, it should begin to open.  
3. If the damper remains closed, move the setpoint of the  
controller farther below the room temperature.  
4. If the damper still does not move, check for the  
presence of 24 Vac in the input.  
5. Make sure the actuator spring is fully wound by  
applying power for at least 100 seconds.  
6. If 24 Vac is present and the actuator does not operate,  
reverse the controller leadwires to determine if the device  
was miswired.  
DIRECT CHECKOUT  
1. Mount the actuator for the required application (either  
cw  
or ccw  
rotation to open the damper).  
2. Checkthedamperposition andmakesurethat24Vacis  
present on the red and black leadwires.  
3. Make sure the actuator spring is fully wound and  
locked by applying power for at least 100 seconds.  
7. Ifthewiringiscorrectand24Vacispresentontheinput  
terminals but the actuator does not run, replace the actuator.
