CHECKOUT

ML6161, ML6174

To check out ML6161, ML6174 Actuators controlled by 

electronic control systems, such as the W7620, override the 

control system by programming the controller to open or close 

the zone damper, as appropriate.

NOTE: Using a seven-minute actuator results in a longer 

response time before noticeable damper movement.

To check out the ML6161 or ML6174:

1.

Determine the direction the shaft moves to open the 

device (cw or ccw). See Fig. 3.

2.

Place 24 volts across the appropriate common cw or 

common ccw terminals to energize the actuator. The 

actuator should begin to open the device.

3.

If the actuator does not run, try switching the 24 volts 

across the opposite common cw or ccw terminals to 

determine if the device begins to close.

4.

If the actuator does not run in either direction, replace 

the actuator.

For an ML6161 or ML6174 issued with an spdt floating wall 

thermostat (for pressure dependent systems), use the 

following checkout procedure:

1.

Adjust the setpoint of the thermostat to call for cooling.

2.

Observe the operation of the actuator; if the device is 

closed, it should begin to open.

3.

If not, adjust the setpoint of the thermostat higher to 

determine if the wiring is correct.

4.

If no movement is observed, check for the presence of 

24 volts.

5.

If using the T641 Thermostat, check that 24 volts are 

present between terminals C and Y during a call for 

cooling. With proper wiring and 24 volts present, the 

actuator should operate correctly.

6.

If not, replace the actuator.

ML7161, ML7174

Check input impedance on the actuator with an ohmmeter.

IMPORTANT

Be sure to disconnect all wiring to the actuator before 

connecting the ohmmeter.

1.

Verify resistance readings are as follows:

• 45K ohms ±5K ohms, across the (+Vdc) and (-) 

terminals.

• 536 ohms ±10 ohms, across the (+mA) and (-) 

terminals.

2.

If the resistance readings are correct, reconnect the 

actuator and check for 24 Vac at terminals T and T2. 

With the correct power present at T and T2, check the 

motion of the shaft/actuator by ramping the setpoint up 

and down. This causes the actuator to move from one 

limit to the other and back (from fully ccw to fully cw and 

back to fully ccw).

NOTE: Remember that the actuator takes 90 seconds 

to move from one limit to the other.

3.

When the actuator is used with electronic control 

systems such as the W7600 Commercial Zone System, 

override the control system by programming the 

controller to open or close the damper, as appropriate.

4.

If the actuator continues to operate incorrectly, check 

Table 6 for the proper input signal/actuator drive 

relationship at the (+Vdc) and (-) terminals.

5.

If the actuator does not operate according to Table 6 

values, replace the actuator.

Table 6. Input Signal/Actuator Drive Relationship.

Input Signal

Actuator Drive Relationship

1.50 ±0.2 Vdc

Actuator drives to extreme ccw position.

2.00 ±0.2 Vdc

Actuator remains at ccw position.

3.00 ±0.2 Vdc

Actuator leaves ccw position.

10.70 ±0.7 Vdc

Actuator drives to extreme cw position.

10.00 ±0.7 Vdc

Actuator remains at cw position.

8.50 ±0.6 Vdc

Actuator leaves cw position.
