Instructions For LF24-SR (-S) US and LF24-MFT…US + P100

Procedure

Remove power to reset actuator.
Re-apply power.
Apply control signal to actuator.

Check power wiring.  Correct any
problems.  See Note 1.

Turn reversing switch to the correct
position.  Make sure the switch is
turned all the way left or right. 

Make sure the control signal positive
(+) is connected to Wire No 3 and
control signal negative (-) is connect-
ed to wire No. 1.  Most control prob-
lems are caused by reversing these
two wires.  Verify that the reversing
switch is all the way CCW or CW.

Check input signal with a digital volt
meter (DVM).  Make sure the input is
within the range of the actuator.  For
LF24-SR US this is 2 to 10 VDC or     
4 to 20 mA.   Note: The input signal
must be above the 2 VDC or 4 mA to
have the actuator move.

Loosen the nuts on the V-bolt and
move the damper by hand from fully
closed to fully open.

Check damper torque requirement.

Actuator works properly.  Test 
controller  by following controller
manufacturer's instructions.

Expected Response

Actuator will move to its  “Control
Signal” position.

Power supply rating should be 

the total power requirement of
the actuator(s).  Minimum volt-
age of 19.2 VAC or 21.6 VDC. 

Actuator will move to its  “Control
Signal” position.

Drives to “Control Signal” 
position

Input voltage or current should be
±1% of what controller's adjust-
ment or programming indicate.

Damper will go from fully closed
to fully open.

Torque requirement is 

actua-

tor’s minimum torque.

Does Not Give

Expected Response

Go To Step…

No response at all

Step 2.

Operation is

reversed

Step 3.

Does not drive

toward "Control

Signal Position"

Step 4.

still does not drive

Step 4.

Does not drive

toward “Control

Signal Position”

Step 4.

Step 5.

Reprogram, adjust

repair or replace

controller as needed

Step 1.

Find cause of damper
jam and repair.  Move

damper back to the
fully closed position

and tighten the nuts

Step 1.

Recalculate actuator

requirement and 

correct installation.

Note 1

Check that the transformer(s) are sized properly.  

• If a common transformer is used, make sure that polarity is observed on the secondary.  This means connect all No. 1

wires to one leg of the transformer and all No. 2 wires to the other  leg of the transformer.  

• If multiple transformers are used with one control signal, make sure all No. 1 wires are tied together and tied to control

signal negative (-).

• Controllers and actuators must have separate 24 VAC/VDC power sources.

Note 2

If failure occurs within 5 years from original installation date, notify Belimo and give details of the application.
