Schneider Electric (Barber Colman) CP-8301-024 Actuator Drive

Ensure precise proportional control in your HVAC systems with the Schneider Electric Barber Colman CP-8301-024 Actuator Drive. This electronic actuator drive is engineered to process a variable 1 to 15 Vdc control signal, translating it into reliable positioning for proportional electric gear train actuators. Operating on a 24 Vac power requirement, this drive is a direct replacement for CP-8301-024-1 and CP-8301-624 models, ensuring seamless integration into existing commercial HVAC control setups.

Built for technical versatility, the CP-8301-024 provides a 20 Vdc 50mA regulated and filtered power supply. While the 1 to 15 Vdc input range is fixed, the start point is field-adjustable from 2 to 12 Vdc (factory-set at 6 Vdc), allowing for fine-tuned calibration. A 3 Vdc fixed span ensures a full stroke across compatible MP-series actuators, including the MP-361, MP-371, MP-381, MP-382, and MP-2113-500. Housed in a durable NEMA Type 1 Bakelite case, this drive supports color-coded pigtail leads for efficient wiring and is designed to mount directly onto the actuator housing for a compact footprint.

• Universal Compatibility: Fully compatible with Schneider Electric MP-300 and MP-2000 series gear train actuators.
• Precise Signal Processing: Converts 1-15 Vdc signals with a 3 Vdc fixed span for accurate damper and valve positioning.
• Field Adjustability: Features an adjustable start point (2 to 12 Vdc) via an internal potentiometer to match specific site requirements.
• Robust Design: Rated for a wide operating temperature range of -40 to 140°F (-40 to 60°C) with UL and CSA agency listings.
• Regulated Power: Onboard 20 Vdc power supply is filtered for sensitive electronic control signals.

• Can I reverse the rotation? Yes. To rotate the actuator counterclockwise on an increase in signal for 24 Vac models, reverse the blue/black and red/black leads along with the brown/black and brown/white leads.
• How do I adjust the start point? Peel back the front label to access the potentiometer. For best results, use a digital volt-ohm meter (DVM) to verify the voltage at the yellow and blue leads during calibration.
• What happens if the power supply is shared? This drive requires a dedicated 24 Vac source or a properly isolated transformer; do not connect the +20 Vdc output to other external power supplies to avoid feedback loops.
