ML6194, ML6294 NON-SPRING RETURN DIRECT COUPLED ACTUATORS

Fig. 13. Common transformer with one controller output 

and two ML6194A,C or ML6294A,C Actuators.

IMPORTANT

ML6194/ML6294 Actuators can operate with a DDC 

Controller that emulates an spdt break-before-make 

switch. Do not short-cycle actuator. Short-cycling 

actuator can cause premature failure.

The actuator has a position indicator to show shaft position. 

As the indicator moves with the shaft, it gives an angular 

representation of shaft position. The indicator can be rotated 

to show open or closed position.

ML6194D,F and ML6294D,F models provide a time-out 

feature that removes power from actuator submotor if the 

actuator receives the same signal or no call from controller for 

longer than a nominal five minutes. This time-out feature 

helps to extend actuator life.

CHECKOUT

Use following procedure to check out ML6194 and ML6294 

Non-Spring Return DCA:

1.

Check that actuator position indicator and shaft position 

agree.

2.

If actuator has a time-out feature, apply 24 Vac to black 

(T1) and red (T2) leads (see Fig. 7 or 9). 

3.

Apply 24 Vac control signal to blue (B) lead with respect 

to black (T1) lead. The actuator should drive shaft open 

(clockwise

).

4.

Apply 24 Vac control signal to yellow (W) lead with 

respect to black (T1) lead. The actuator should drive 

shaft closed (counterclockwise

).

5.

If 24 Vac control signal is removed, actuator should 

stop.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If actuator does not drive, travel full stroke, or operate properly 

during checkout, perform following troubleshooting procedure 

before replacing actuator:

1.

Check actuator label to make sure proper power and 

control signal requirements are met.

2.

When actuator should be driving, check for 24 Vac at 

actuator wires:

a. Black (T1) and yellow (W) or blue (B).

b. Black (T1) and red (T2).

3.

If voltage is not present or is low, check power supply 

and controller.

4.

If actuator does not drive in correct direction when a 

control signal is applied, reverse yellow and blue wires.

5.

Remove power and fully depress and hold down 

disengage button while trying to turn shaft  

clockwise

and counterclockwise

. If shaft 

turns freely through 90° stroke, and actuator is installed 

correctly, replace actuator.

6.

If shaft does not turn freely for full 90° stroke, check for 

any binding and verify that actuator is loose on its 

mounting bracket to prevent binding. If necessary, 

adjust mounting bracket to prevent binding.

7.

If no binding is present, remove actuator and turn shaft 

clockwise

 and counterclockwise

. If shaft 

does not turn freely, repair or replace damper.

8.

If shaft turns freely, fully depress and hold down 

disengage button and turn actuator hub  

clockwise

and counterclockwise

. If actuator 

hub does not turn, replace actuator.

9.

If actuator and shaft turn freely, remount actuator 

following instructions in Installation section. Make sure 

actuator does not bind. Also, make sure that shaft and 

actuator are at the same clockwise

 or 

counterclockwise

end stop when assembled. 

Hook up wires and repeat checkout. If necessary, 

troubleshoot again.
