SYMPTOM
POSSIBLE CAUSES
ACTIONS
Motor
overheats/smoke/component
burn-out
Current sensing circuit failed or electronic
components failed
Replace actuator. Make sure:
1) Correct actuator used
2) Properly installed
3) Do not operate actuator before
mounting on valve supply
4) Proper voltage supply
5) Use high temperature kit
(43196000-001)
ML will not respond
LED (on):
LED (off):
Incorrect DIP switch settings
Check against Product Instruction
Sheet
No control signal present
Check controller
Incorrect wiring connections
Internal time delay
Check against Product Instruction
Sheet
Allow at least 1/2 - 1 second for the
ML to respond
Vdc/mA signal drops when
connected to ML
Actuator yoke corrodes
Floating Actuator position
"drifts" when used with
building automation system
Error mode (gearbox damage)
No or low power supply
1) Check power supply
2) Check callibration cycle
3) Valve stroke length less than 1/2"
or greater than 1 1/4"
4) Reset device by a momentary
disconnect of power at T5 and T6.
Check voltage on T5 & T6
terminals
Change DIP switch setting
ML7984 in mA mode with voltage input
Signal degradation due to incompatible load
impedance
Output and ML Input Impedance
specifications
Galvanic reaction from dissimilar metals if
SS U-bolt used with aluminum yoke
Replace U-bolt with galvanized U-
bolt and nuts
Mismatch between actuator resolution (30
steps) and BAS controller
1) Read actual valve position using
272630D feedback module
2) Rewire actuator for 3-wire
control
3) Program daily valve reset
