Siemens Building Technology GAP196.1P Actuator
The Siemens Building Technology GAP196.1P Actuator is a high-performance, fast-acting solution engineered for precision control in critical environments. Designed for non-spring return operation, this electronic damper actuator provides a powerful 53 lb-in torque and an industry-leading 2-second runtime, making it ideal for laboratory fume hoods, constant air volume (CAV) systems, and variable air volume (VAV) exhaust units. Its fail-in-place logic ensures that the damper maintains its last position upon power loss, preventing sudden pressure imbalances in sensitive ventilation zones.
Built for maximum compatibility, the GAP196.1P features a universal input control signal, allowing contractors to field-select between 2-position, floating, or modulating control (0-10 VDC, 2-10 VDC, or 4-20 mA). This 24V unit includes a unique self-centering shaft coupling to eliminate linkage stress and ensure concentric alignment with damper shafts. The integrated auxiliary switches provide adjustable feedback for end-stop monitoring or interlocking with fans and other HVAC equipment, while the plenum-rated 3-foot cable simplifies installation in air handling spaces.
Key Benefits- High-Speed Response: Rapid 2-second drive time enables near-instantaneous adjustment to airflow demands in critical HVAC ventilation zones.
- Universal Compatibility: Supports 0-10V modulating, floating, and 2-position signals, reducing the need for multiple stock parts.
- Precise Feedback: Standard 0-10 VDC position feedback allows for real-time monitoring through the Building Automation System (BAS).
- Flexible Mounting: The self-centering coupling handles round shafts up to 3/4" and square shafts up to 1/2", minimizing installation errors for commercial dampeners.
What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-in-place for this model?
The GAP196.1P is a fail-in-place (non-spring return) actuator, meaning it does not mechanically return to a zero position on power loss but holds its current degree of rotation via electronic braking.
Can I use this actuator for smoke and fire applications?
No, this actuator is intended for HVAC control damper applications. Fire and smoke dampers require specialized ratings and spring-return functionality to ensure safety positioning during emergencies.
How do I adjust the auxiliary switches?
The dual auxiliary switches are independently adjustable, allowing you to set specific trigger points within the 0 to 90-degree rotation for customized signaling or equipment interlocking.
