Application

The type FSNF spring-return actuator is intended for the operation of smoke and combination fire and smoke dampers in ventilation and air-conditioning systems. The actuator will meet requirements of UL555 and UL555S when tested as an assembly with the damper and will meet requirements of UBC for 15 second opening and closing. Square footage of damper operated will depend on make and model and the temperature required.

Operation

Mounting of the actuator to the damper shaft or jackshaft (3/8” to 1.05”) is via a cold-weld clamp. Teeth in the clamp and V-bolt dig into the metal of both solid and hollow shafts maintaining a perfect connection. The specially designed clamp will not crush hollow shafts. The bottom end of the actuator is held by an anti-rotation strap or by a stud provided by the damper manufacturer.

The actuator is mounted in its fail safe position with the damper blade(s) closed. Upon applying power, the actuator drives the damper to the open position. The internal spring is tensioned at the same time. If the power supply is interrupted, the spring moves the damper back to its fail-safe position.

Safety Notes

* Neither UL nor Belimo require local over-current protection. The FSNF actuators draw higher peak current when driving against any type of stop. If used, this requires the value of a local fuse or breaker to be increased to avoid nuisance opening or tripping. A 2.5 amp slow blow should be used for 24VAC. A 0.5 amp slow blow should be used for 120 VAC. A 0.25 amp slow blow should be used for 230V and a 0.3 amp slow blow for 208 VAC. Transformers: Note that while a 24V 100VA transformer would handle 2 actuators, a 4 A breaker or plug fuse is insufficient. A 5 amp slow blow would be required.

Belimo Fire & Smoke actuators have passed the AMCA 520 and UL 555S Long Term Holding test. No special cycling is required during prolonged periods when actuator is driven open and held there. Periodic testing of dampers and actuators per local codes and NFPA 80 and NFPA 105 are required.

The actuator contains no components which the user can replace or repair. A 1/2” threaded connector is standard. FSNFxx-FC models have a 3/8” Flex Connector. Other than the connector, these actuators are identical to the conduit connector version.
