Common Questions

What does 'Normally Open (N/O)' mean for this actuator?
In the context of the Aprilaire 6998, a normally open actuator means that without power applied, the damper blade remains in the open position to allow airflow. The motor uses power to close the damper.

Can I use the Aprilaire 6998 to replace a normally closed (N/C) actuator?
No, actuators must match the logic of your zone control system. Replacing an N/C motor with an N/O actuator will result in reversed damper operation. Always verify your current part number or system requirements before purchasing.

What voltage is required for the Aprilaire 6998?
This is a standard 24VAC HVAC actuator. It should only be powered by a dedicated 24-volt transformer typically found in Aprilaire zone control systems.
