ES142 Spring Return Electronic Actuators
129-270 EAI/ES-9 DEI, Inc.
Wiring
24 VAC or 120 VAC
All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and regulations.
24 VAC
Use earth ground isolating step-down Class 2 transformers. Do not use auto transformers. Determine the supply
transformer rating by summing the total VA of all actuators used. The maximum rating for a Class 2 step-down
transformer is 100 VA. The ES142 (24 VAC) actuators require 8 to 9 VA; therefore it is recommended that up to
10 actuators (between 80 and 90% of transformer VA) can be powered by one transformer. Operating more than
10 actuators requires additional transformers or separate 100 VA power trunks.
WARNING:
Mixed switch operation is not permitted. To the switching outputs of both auxiliary switches (A and B),
only apply:
• Standard cable (250 Vac/24 Vdc)
− UL/cUL: line voltage, or
− UL/cUL: Class 2 voltage.
NOTE: Either all six outputs of the dual auxiliary switches must be connected to line voltage or all six
outputs must be connected to Class 2 voltage.
• Plenum cable (24V)
− UL/cUL: Class 2 voltage.
