GENERAL INFORMATION

The AFP allows an analog (voltage or current) 

signal to control a floating point actuator. It 

converts an analog signal into two relay contact 

outputs (one increase/one decrease). The isolated 

floating point output can be controlled by any one 

of nine analog input signal ranges (using an offset 

jumper). Upon power-up, the decrease relay will 

drive 100% of the chosen timing range to ensure 

that the output is at its minimum position. On a 

loss of power, the output relays will be open and 

no signal will be generated. The actuator will 

remain at the last commanded position unless it 

has "spring return". The AFP output rate of change 

(sixteen ranges, in eight versions) is DIP switch 

selectable.

MOUNTING INFORMATION

Circuit board may be mounted in any position.  If 

circuit board slides out of snap track, a 

non-conductive “stop” may be required.  Use only 

fingers to remove board from snap track.  Slide 

out of snap track or push against side of snap 

track and lift that side of the circuit board to 

remove.  Do not flex board.    Use no tools.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

PRECAUTIONS

•   Remove power before wiring. Never connect 

or disconnect wiring with power applied.

•  When using a shielded cable, ground the 

shield only at the controller end. Grounding 

both ends can cause a ground loop. 

• It is recommended you use an isolated 

UL-listed class 2 transformer when powering 

the unit with 24 VAC. Failure to wire the 

devices with the correct polarity when sharing 

transformers may result in damage to any 

device powered by the shared transformer.

•   If the 24 VDC or 24VAC power is shared with 

devices that have coils such as relays, 

solenoids, or other inductors, each coil must 

have an MOV, DC/AC Transorb, Transient 

Voltage Suppressor (ACI Part: 142583), or 

diode placed across the coil or inductor. The 

cathode, or banded side of the DC Transorb or 

diode, connects to the positive side of the 

power supply. Without these snubbers, coils 

produce very large voltage spikes when 

de-energizing that can cause malfunction or 

destruction of electronic circuits.

• All wiring must comply with all local and 

National Electric Codes.
