MS4209F, MS4309F, MS4709F, 

MS4809F, MS8209F, MS8309F 

Fast-Acting, Two-Position Actuators

FOR FIRE/SMOKE CONTROL APPLICATIONS

N314

The MS4209F, MS4309F, MS4709F, MS4809F, MS8209F, 

MS8309F Fast-Acting, Two-Position Actuators are spring 

return direct coupled actuators (DCA) with an integral junction 

box for on/off damper control. The actuator accepts an on/off 

signal from a single-pole, single-throw (spst) controller. 

Models are available with clockwise (cw) or counterclockwise 

(ccw) spring return and are designed to operate reliably in 

smoke control systems requiring Underwriter’s Laboratories 

Inc. UL555S ratings up to 350°F.

FEATURES

• 80 lb-in. (9 N•m) minimum driving torque 

at 350°F (176°C).

• Integral spring return ensures level of return torque.

• Stainless steel internal spring.

• Fifteen-second spring return timing.

• No special cycling required during long-term holding.

• No audible noise during holding.

• Patent pending design eliminates need for limit 

switches to reduce power consumption.

• Models available for 24, 120, and 230 Vac.

• Ninety-five degree angle of rotation.

• Actuator holds rated torque at reduced power level.

• Die-cast aluminum housing.

• Housing design allows flush mounting to damper.

• Integral junction box with three conduit openings 

eliminates need for separate wiring box.

IMPORTANT

• The actuator is designed to meet UL555S standards 

at 350°F (176°C). The actuator must be tested with 

the damper to achieve this rating.

• Honeywell does not recommend using linkages with 

these actuators because side-loading of the output 

hub reduces actuator life.
