Siemens Building Technology GDE163.1P Actuator
The Siemens GDE163.1P OpenAir actuator is a high-performance non-spring return damper actuator engineered for precise modulating control in professional HVACR systems. Delivering 44 lb-in torque, this 24V modulating actuator is designed to handle dampers in constant or variable air volume (VAV) installations. It features a versatile 0-10 Vdc control signal with an adjustable start point (offset) between 0 to 5 Vdc and a span between 2 and 30 Vdc. This allows for complex sequencing and electronic limitation of the rotation angle, critical for fine-tuning airflow in sensitive commercial environments. The plenum rated design, featuring a 3-foot cable, ensures compliance with building codes for installation in ceiling spaces. Built with a synchronous motor, the GDE163.1P provides a consistent 90-second run time for 90-degree rotation, while the integrated 0-10 Vdc position feedback offers real-time monitoring of damper status. Its compact NEMA 2 (IP54) enclosure and manual override simplify both commissioning and field troubleshooting for contractors.
- Enhanced Precision: Adjustable offset and span allow for custom scaling of the control signal to match specific damper stroke requirements.
- Plenum Compliance: Factory-installed 18 AWG plenum-rated cable facilitates direct installation in air handling spaces.
- Reliable Performance: Non-spring return logic maintains the last position during signal loss, preventing sudden system pressure spikes.
- Simple Installation: Direct-coupled design fits shafts from 3/8" to 5/8" diameter with a visible position indicator for rapid setup.
Common Questions
Can the GDE163.1P be used for sequencing?
Yes, by adjusting the Uo (offset) and ?U (slope) potentiometers, you can sequence multiple actuators or electronically limit the rotation range based on your specific 0-10V input.
What happens if the 24V power fails?
As a non-spring return model, the actuator will hold its current position upon total power loss. If only the control signal is lost, the unit is designed to return to the "0" position.
Is this model compatible with floating control?
The GDE163.1P is primarily a modulating (0-10V) actuator. For 3-position or floating control applications, contractors typically look toward the GDE131 series, though the GDE series overall covers various control signals.
