Auxiliary Switches
The 201052A or B Auxiliary Switch is used in conjunction with 
the actuator. It allows for control of equipment external to the 
actuator (for example, electric reheat coils and fan) at an 
adjustable point in the stroke (0° to 90°) of the actuator.
The 201052A and B Auxiliary Switches are field-addable. For 
mounting instructions, see form 63-2218, provided with the 
device.
IMPORTANT
When operating an ML6161 or ML6174 from a two-
position controller, a 201052B Auxiliary Switch is 
required for proper operation. See Fig. 12.
Auxiliary Potentiometers
The 200976A,C Auxiliary Potentiometers mount on the face of 
the ML6161A,C or ML6174A,C (as shown in Fig. 15). The 
potentiometer shaft has a slipping collar. If one of the two 
limits of the potentiometer is exceeded, the collar continues to 
rotate, causing no damage to the potentiometer itself. To 
mount the potentiometer on the actuator:
1. Turn the potentiometer to align the shaft key with the 
slot in the potentiometer drive.
2. Tilt the potentiometer slightly so the key faces down 
toward the slot.
3. Insert the potentiometer into the slot, and push down so 
the potentiometer is flush with the actuator body and the 
bracket is aligned over the screw hole.
4. Insert the screw provided into the hole and fasten 
securely.
IMPORTANT
Failure to follow the calibration procedures can result 
in improper resistance values at desired stroke.

field-addable potentiometer.
To Calibrate the 200976A,C:
IMPORTANT
Remove the range stop pins and minimum position 
setscrews prior to calibration.
1. Drive the actuator fully closed (0°) to fully open (90°) 
and back again to the fully closed position. This must be 
done to receive the correct resistance readings at the 
appropriate degree of stroke.
2. Check the resistance values of the potentiometer with 
an ohmmeter at intervals in the stroke while referring to 
the table in Fig. 15 and resistance information provided 
in the Specifications section.
3. Replace the range stop pins and/or the minimum 
position setscrews using the appropriate procedures.
