ASK75.7U: GEB Actuators are UL listed to 
meet NEMA Type 4X requirements (a degree 
of protection against falling dirt, rain, sleet, 
snow, windblown dust, splashing water, hose-
directed water, corrosion, and damage from 
external ice formation) when installed with an 
ASK75.7U Weather Shield and outdoor-rated 
conduit fittings. This weather shield may be 
mounted in any orientation. 
For dimensions, see Figure 22.

GEB16x 
Apply a 0 (2) to 10 Vdc control signal between wire 8 (Y) and wire 2 (G0) to operate the 
damper actuator. The angle of rotation is proportional to the control signal. A 0 to 10 Vdc 
position feedback output signal is available between wire 9 (U) and wire 2 (G0) to monitor the 
position of the damper motor. 
In the event of a power failure, the actuator holds its position. In the event that only the control 
signal is lost, the actuator returns to the "0" position. 
GEB14x 
A floating control signal controls the damper actuator. The actuator’s angle of rotation is 
proportional to the length of time the signal is applied. A 24 Vac control signal to wire 6 (Y1) 
causes the actuator coupling to rotate clockwise. A 24 Vac control signal to wire 7 (Y2) 
causes the actuator coupling to rotate counterclockwise. 
 
To reverse the direction of rotation, wires 6 (Y1) and 7 (Y2) can be interchanged. 
With no control voltage, the damper actuator holds its position.  
In the event of a blockage in the damper, the actuator is overload protected over the full range 
to prevent damage to the actuator. 
An improperly tuned loop will cause excessive repositioning that will shorten the life of the 
actuator.
