Maintenance

No routine maintenance is required. The motors 

are permanently lubricated and all internal gear-

train components are oil-impregnated. Careful 

installation will also ensure long term reliability and 

performance.

Adjustments

The actuator is factory-set with the 

OPERATE

 

selector switch in the clockwise 

CW

 position, and 

the actuator will rotate clockwise with a 2–10 VDC 

increasing control signal.

 CAUTION

Do not press the gear disengagement button when 
the actuator is powered, under load, or driven 
against the end stops. Balance the load and remove 
power to the actuator BEFORE pressing the button.

For Clockwise Rotation

1.  Leave the 

OPERATE

 selector switch in the 

CW

 

position. 

2.  Depress the gear disengagement button 

and rotate the damper drive hub fully 

counterclockwise to the 

90

 mark.

3.  Determine what position the damper or valve 

should be at 2 VDC input.

4.  Position the damper or valve linkage to the full 

open or close position as determined in step 3. 

This ensures that as voltage increases and the 

actuator rotates in the clockwise direction, the 

damper or valve rotates in the proper direction.

5.  Secure the actuator.

For Counterclockwise Rotation

1.  Set the 

OPERATE

 selector switch in the 

CCW

 

position. 

2.  Depress the gear disengagement button and 

rotate the damper drive hub fully clockwise to the 

0

 mark.

3.  Determine what position the damper or valve 

should be at 2 VDC input.

4.  Position the damper or valve linkage to the full 

open or close position as determined in step 3. 

This ensures that as voltage increases and the 

actuator rotates in the counterclockwise direction, 

the damper or valve rotates in the proper 

direction.

5.  Secure the actuator.

Limit Min./Max. Travel with End Stop Screws

1.  Loosen the minimum and maximum stop screws 

one-half turn.

2.   Slide the screws to the desired positions.

3.   Tighten the stop screws (9 in-lbs. maximum).

Fail-Safe Function (MEP-5372 only)

The fail-safe switch on the MEP-5372 is factory-set 

in the 

Off

 position. Select either 

CW

 or 

CCW

 on the 

three-position switch to choose the direction the 

actuator will rotate when power is lost.
