3 NM, 5 NM SERIES SPRING RETURN DIRECT COUPLED ACTUATORS
11 62-0274—07
6. Apply control signal for actuator 0% position. 
(See Fig. 11 and Table 2.)
a. (0)2-10 Vdc: apply (0)2 Vdc signal to terminal 3.
b. 10-(0)2 Vdc: apply 10 Vdc signal to terminal 3.
c. (0)4-20 mA: apply (0)4 mA signal to terminal 3.
d. 20-(0)4mA: apply 20 mA signal to terminal 3.
e. Floating: apply 24 Vac to appropriate 0°-90° (3) or 
90°-0° (4) terminal.
7. Actuator drives to full open or full closed position.
Spring Return Operation
1. Mount actuator for required application (either clock-
wise  or counterclockwise  rotation to open 
the damper or valve). 
2. Connect power to terminals 1 and 2. (See Fig. 11 and 
Table 2.)
NOTE: For two-position models skip to step 5.
3. Set “Mode Select” dial to desired control signal.
(See Fig. 4.)
4. Apply control signal for actuator 50% position.
(See Fig. 11.)
a. Vdc Input Signal: apply 5-6 Vdc signal to terminal 3.
b. mA Input Signal: apply 10-12 mA signal to terminal 3.
c. Floating: apply 24 Vac to appropriate 0°-90° (3) or 
90°-0° (4) terminal until device reaches 50%.
5. Allow the actuator to drive to 50% position.
6. Disconnect wire from terminal 1.
7. Actuator spring returns to 0% position.
8. Re-connect wire to terminal 1, actuator drives back 
toward 50% position.
Feedback Operation
1. Connect a multi-meter, set for Vdc, to terminals 2 and 5.
2. Apply the same signal as in step 4 of Modulating 
Operation.
3. The multi-meter reading increases to match the input 
signal as actuator drives towards full open or full closed 
position.
4. Apply the same signal as in step 6 of Modulating 
Operation.
5. The multi-meter reading decreases to match the input 
signal as actuator drives towards 0% position.
Direct Checkout
1. Mount actuator for required application (either clock-
wise  or counterclockwise  rotation to open 
the damper or valve). 
2. Check damper position and make sure that 24 Vdc/Vac 
is present at the appropriate connections. (See Fig. 9.)
3. Apply control signal to the appropriate connections to 
move the damper to the opposite position. The actuator 
should drive the damper or valve.
4. If actuator does not run, verify that the actuator is 
properly installed for either clockwise  or counter-
clockwise  rotation.
5. If actuator is correctly installed and still does not run, 
replace the actuator.
Two-Position Checkout
1. Mount actuator for required application (either clock-
wise  or counterclockwise  rotation to open 
the damper or valve).
2. Check damper position and make sure that power is 
present at terminals 1 and 2.
3. Actuator drives to 100% position.
4. Disconnect power from terminals 1 and 2.
5. Actuator spring-returns to 0% position.
If actuator is correctly installed and does not run, replace the 
actuator.
Sylk-enabled (S-BUS) Checkout
1. Mount actuator for required application (either clockwise 
or counterclockwise rotation to open the damper).
2. Connect Sylk-enabled (S-BUS) controller to terminals 3 
and 4.  (See Fig. 20) 
3. Connect power to terminals 1 and 2. (See Fig. 20 and 
Table 2.)
4. Set “Mode Select” dial to desired address (MS3105 
series). (See Fig. 4.) This step is not necessary for the 
MS3103 series.
5. Apply S-BUS command via the connected Sylk-enabled 
controller for actuator full open or full closed position. 
(See Fig. 20 and Table 2.)  The MS3105 series has the 
option for local test by setting “Mode Select” dial to 6.  
Remember to reset the “Mode Select” dial to the appro-
priate address after the test has been completed.
