Modulating Automatic Round Damper
(MARD)
APPLICATION
The Modulating Automatic Round Damper is a round
damper with a 24-Vac, floating-control type modulating
motor for bypass and zone damper control. It is con-
structed of 22-gauge galvanized steel and has male
(crimped) and female (uncrimped) ends to connect to
any rigid or flexible round duct. It is available in 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 inch diameter sizes. The motor
timing is 90 seconds open to closed.
The MARD is used for bypass control when connected to
the Static Pressure Switch (SPC). Although it can be
used on any bypass application, it is recommended for
systems larger than 2000 cfm. The MARD can also be
used as a zone control damper connected to a zone
control panel.
INSTALLATION
Before Installing this Product…
1. Read all instructions before installing this product.
Failure to follow the instructions can damage the
product or cause a hazardous condition.
2. Check the ratings given in the instructions and on
the product to make sure the product is suitable for
your application.
3. Installer must be a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. Install the product in an area that is easily accessi-
ble for checkout and service.
5. After completing installation, use these instructions
to check out the product operation.
Selecting Damper Size
1. To size the bypass damper, subtract the smallest
zone cfm from the total system cfm. The remainder
is the amount of air that needs to be bypassed.
2. Calculate the bypass damper size using this cfm
and a friction loss of .25 in. on a duct calculator or
see Table 1.
3. If used as a zone damper, size it the same diame-
ter as the duct.
a
Use this table only to size bypass dampers; for zone
damper sizing, use a duct calculator.
Selecting Damper Location
The damper can be installed horizontally or vertically.
Orient the damper so the motor is located on the side or
top of the damper, not on the bottom of the damper.
Mounting the Damper
1. Install a duct collar into the duct or plenum
upstream of any zone dampers. It is preferable to
place it as far as practical from the air handler.
2. Slide the damper onto the duct collar.
3. Secure with sheet metal screws (not provided).
4. Run duct from the other end of the damper to the
return duct.
