DESCRIPTION

This bulletin describes the installation and operating instructions for the FX04 and FX04-1, 3 lb.-ft./
4Nm servo motors. .

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING: When this equipment is mounted onto an appliance, all external timers/control-
lers must be listed or recognized components and approved by national certification agencies
for the purpose for which they are used and approved for use by a local authority who has
jurisdiction.

The Fireye FX04 and FX04-1 servo motors are precision actuators designed to accurately position
valves and dampers. The servomotor interprets Modbus commands from an external control and
uses a stepper motor to drive to the commanded position. A feedback potentiometer provides contin-
uous positional information that can be read and cross checked by the external control. 

The FX04 series servo motor offers a maximum output torque of 3lb.ft/ 4Nm with a minimum travel
time of 30 seconds for 90 degrees of rotation. Maximum rotation angle of the drive shaft is 100
degrees.

The servo is designed to be applied for fuel valves and air damper control on industrial burners. It
can also be applied to drive any type of flow control valve or damper as long as the output torque is
suited to the application.

Before attempting to install, commission or operate this equipment all relevant sections of this docu-
ment must be read and fully understood, failure to follow them could damage the product or cause a
hazardous condition. If in doubt about any requirements consult the supplier.
