checkout and service.

5.

After completing installation, use these instructions to 

check out product operation.

Installing the Retrofit Round Damper

Select a location for the damper in the ductwork. It is 

suggested that the RRD damper be at least 6 feet from the 

register for quiet operation.

1.

Peel off the back of the cut-out template. Carefully align 

the template with the centerline of the duct. Apply tem-

plate to the section of round ductwork where the damper 

is to be installed. Ensure that the template is parallel to 

the ductwork. It is suggested that the damper be installed 

with the motor under a horizontal duct to reduce twist to 

the duct. It may also be necessary to support the duct.

2.

Drill a starter hole in the cut-out area of the template.

3.

Cut out the area between the holes.

4.

Slide the damper into the duct and secure it with the four 

supplied self-drilling mounting screws. Be careful to 

avoid over-tightening the screws as the duct may be 

pulled out of round. See Fig. 3.

WIRING

Wiring the Motor Actuator

Connect the motor to the zone control panel 18 or 20 gauge 

wire. The motor terminals are labeled M1 for common, M6 for 

closed, and M4 for open. Connect the motor terminals to 

corresponding terminals on zone control panel for each zone. 

See Fig. 4–6 for hookups.

Multiple RRD dampers can be wired to one zone when wired in 

parallel. See Fig. 5 for wiring multiple dampers together in a 

daisy chain manner or Fig. 6 using wire nuts. See Table 1 for 

the maximum number of dampers that can be connected to 

each zone control panel. Note that this is the total number of 

dampers connected to all the zones of a zone control panel; 

the maximum dampers per zone is 14. If more than 14 

dampers are on one zone, a Slave Damper Control Relay 

(SDCR) must be used.

When more than the maximum number of dampers allowed 

per panel are necessary, a SDCR must be used. The SDCR is 

an isolation relay that is powered by a separate transformer so 

that it relieves the panel of this additional load. When a SDCR 

is used, the dampers of that zone may either be all connected 

to the SDCR, or some dampers may be wired to the SDCR and 

the remainder to that zone’s damper terminals.
