GCA Series Spring Return 160 lb-in

Electronic Damper Actuators

Siemens Industry, Inc.

Description The OpenAir 24 Vac/dc spring return 160 lb-in (18 Nm) 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

•160 lb-in (18 Nm) torque

•5° preload as shipped from factory

•Offset and span adjustment models available

•Models with independently adjustable dual auxiliary switches available

•UL and cUL listed; certified

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

160 lb-in (18 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: Floating 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.

Siemens Industry, Inc. Page 9

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.

Control Signal

Adjustment GCA 163 and GCA164

The offset (start point) and span of the control signal can be adjusted. The offset,

Uo, can be adjusted between 0 to 5 Vdc. The span, ∆U, can be adjusted between

2 to 30 Vdc.

To change the settings of A and B:

1. Make sure the actuator is in the "0", fail-

2. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the

switch adjustment dials to the desired

setting at which a signal is to be given.

depends on the input signal selection.
