AC6B3CA Fireye Actuator

Overview

The Fireye AC6B3CA is a high-performance rotary actuator designed for precise burner and valve control in industrial and commercial combustion systems. It functions as a keypad-programmable, direct-coupled modulating motor used to regulate process temperatures. This specific model operates on 230V AC power and is configured for right-hand (RH) horizontal mounting. By precisely controlling fuel and airflow, it helps optimize combustion efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

Features

• Solid-state electronics for reliable, long-term operation.
• Keypad programmable interface for easy customization of travel positions and rotation settings.
• LED display with membrane keys for real-time monitoring and local manual control.
• Multiple input compatibility, including 4-20mA, 0-10Vdc, and switch inputs for flexible positioning.
• Two auxiliary contacts included for position feedback to the control system.
• Direct-coupled design for smooth modulation of butterfly valves or dampers.
• NEMA 4 rated construction for durability in industrial environments.
