Control Air Instrument Plate 1

Installation of Airtech Products Control Air transducer and filter regulator instrument plate is a simple fourstep process: 1. Attaching the actuator and instrument plate to louver frame 2. Connection of air lines and control signal 3. Connection of linkage 4. Recalibration of I/P (transducer) Before starting installation, inspect the actuator and instrument plate to ensure all required parts are present. Check the following: • Confirm all parts are firmly secured to the mounting plate • Confirm a .25” fitting has been installed (use standard Teflon tape) at actuator housing inlet port • Confirm the clevis is present at the threaded end of the actuator stem • Confirm the following are present to complete the installation: 1. Three (3) .25”- .625” long bolts w/Keps nuts (shipped installed on plate attachment angle) 2. Pivot mount for attachment of actuator to mounting bracket 3. Bolts to attach actuator to pivot mount1550 S. 81st W. Avenue • Tulsa, OK 74127 Office: 918-241-0264 • www.airtechproducts.com1) Attach the actuator and instrument plate:1. The instrument plate can be mounted on either horizontal or vertical louvers using the attachment angle factory mounted to the appropriate side of the plate. 2. Note the instructional sticker advising the “UP” direction for installation. 3. The mounting plate is supplied with three (3) .25” bolts to fasten the attachment angle to the louver at pre-drilled and tagged location on the louver frame.4. Set the instrument plate in place and align holes in frame w/holes in attachment angle 5. Attach plate to frame using the supplied .25” diameter bolts/nuts. 6.

Attach the pivot mount to the actuator support bracket 9. DO NOT ATTACH THE ACTUATOR CLEVIS TO THE TORQUE TUBE LEVER ARM YET.2) Air Line Connections:1. Blow out all piping before connections are made to prevent dirt, chips, etc from entering the actuator body or filter regulator. 2. Attach SS braided air-line from filter reg set to supplied 1/4” threaded adapter in the air inlet port on top cap of actuator. Use Teflon tape or non-hardening sealant when installing connector in actuator. 3. Connect plant air (150 psig suggested maximum) to filter regulator.2a) Control Signal Connection:1. Locate the electrical lines and conduit connection port on the transducer and install male adapter. 2. Connect conduit and thread wiring into transducer connection terminals 3. Connect leads for control signal to corresponding terminals in transducer.3) Connecting The Linkage:1. In most cases, the torque tube lever arm will be set to “Fail Open” upon loss of air and / or actuator retraction. As a result, connection of the linkage will be a simple matter of manually situating the louver blades and actuator stem to the correct position and then attaching the control link to the clevis (at the base of the actuator stem) and finally to the torque tube lever arm. To determine how the actuator and louver blades should be positioned, please note the following instructions: a. “Fail Open” Louvers • Stroke actuator to fully extended and manually set louver to fully closed position before connecting louver lever arm & link to actuator clevis. b. “Fail Closed” Louvers • Ensure actuator is completely retracted and manually set louvers to fully closed position before connecting louver lever arm & link to actuator clevis.2. When assembly and installation work is complete, stroke the actuator several times to ensure it moves
