Section 6: Motor operator general infor-

A motor operator is an electric motor assembly internally mounted in

operator can be factory or field installed (Table 3 NF and Table 4 RF).
If a motor operator is being installed in the field, an optional spring
release device can also be installed. Instructions for the installation of
a spring release are provided in Section 2 of this document.
