Siemens Building Technology GDE161.1Q Actuator
The Siemens GDE161.1Q Actuator is a professional-grade non-spring return (NSR) solution engineered for the precise modulating control of dampers in CVA or VAV systems. Delivering 44 lb-in torque (5 Nm), this electronic direct-coupled actuator operates on 24 VAC/DC and responds to a 0-10V control signal, making it ideal for standard commercial HVAC automation. Unlike other models in the OpenAir series, the GDE161.1Q features a factory-installed 6-foot plenum cable, streamlining installation in tight overhead spaces and plenum-rated air handling units.
Designed for technicians who value reliability and easy commissioning, the unit includes a synchronous motor for consistent 90-second run times and a manual override button for effortless field adjustments. The NEMA 2 (IP54) rotary damper actuator housing provides robust protection for the internal gears, which are silicone-free for specialized applications. With built-in feedback (0-10 VDC), the system ensures accurate position monitoring and full integration with building automation controllers.
- Precision Control: Compatible with 0-10V or 2-10V input signals for high-accuracy damper positioning.
- High Compatibility: Fits various damper shaft sizes and is suitable for variable air volume applications.
- Plenum Rated: Includes an integrated 6' plenum-rated cable, reducing the need for separate conduit in most air distribution zones.
- Low Noise Operation: Synchronous motor technology provides quiet performance under 35 dBA when running.
- Field Efficiency: Features a visible position indicator and mechanical range adjustment to simplify setup.
Common Questions:
How do I wire the GDE161.1Q for a 0-10V signal?
Standard wiring involves connecting 24V power to pins 1 (G) and 2 (G0), with the 0-10V control signal connecting to pin 8 (Y). Feedback is available on pin 9 (U).
Can this actuator be used in smoke or fire applications?
No, this is a non-spring return control actuator. For safety-critical fire/smoke requirements, you must specify a spring-return model designed for fail-safe operation.
Does the GDE161.1Q support manual override?
Yes, it features a push-button manual override that allows you to reposition the gear train during installation or power loss.
