Wiring Diagrams
NOTE: All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations.

CAUTION:
The actuator must be wired with a 230 Vac line with respect to neutral. The ground lead must be connected for proper protection of the actuator. Any other connection, such as phase-to-phase, can damage the actuator.
| Switch | Wire Color | Switch Makes | Switch Breaks |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5° | Gray | < 5° | > 5° |
| 85° | Yellow | > 85° | < 85° |
NOTE: Both sets of contacts are open when actuator is between 5° and 85°.
CAUTION:
Mixed switch operation to the switching outputs of both dual end switches (5°
and 85°) is not permitted. Either AC line voltage from the same phase must be
applied to all four outputs of the fixed dual end switches, or UL-Class 2
voltage must be applied to all four outputs.
NOTE: The GND models pre-wired for assembly with the EFL (GNDxxx.1U/F) will only operate when an EFL, (ASK79.xxx) is attached.
Maintenance
CAUTION:
The GND actuator does not require any periodic cycling to function properly as
an integral part of an active smoke control damper system. The National Fire
Alarm Code NFPA 72 states that all life safety systems are to be functionally
checked at least annually. Check the smoke control damper/actuator every time
you functionally check your smoke detectors, emergency lights, and/or power
generators for operation.
Electronic Fusible Link (EFL)
Versions GNDxxx.1U/F contain wire with a Molex connector (See Figure 9) to
accommodate an EFL. EFLs are purchased separately. See Table 1.
| Part Number | Operation |
|---|---|
| ASK79.165 | 165°F (74°C) |
| ASK79.212 | 212°F (100°C) |
| ASK79.250 | 250°F (121°C) |
| ASK79.350 | 350°F (177°C) |
