NOTICE: This manual includes information that

will make installation simple, efficient, and trouble-
free. Please read and understand the appropriate
sections in this manual before attempting to install
or operate your drive.
The Group 22 control drive was developed to fulfill

an industry need for accurate, reliable, digital control in
high torque applications. The drive is ideal for use in
large boiler applications, such as ID/FD fan dampers.
The Group 22 offers the excellent performance
and maintenance-free design typical of Beck drives;
plus the added flexibility and features provided by
microprocessor-based electronics. Beck’s full product

INSTALLATION START-UP
BEFORE START-UP
NOTE: All Beck drives are shipped from the
adjustments are required before placing
them in operation. Each drive is set up and
calibrated to the customer’s specifications that
were written into the equipment order. If your
requirements have changed since the time
of order, the following sections will provide
the instruction necessary to reconfigure your
drive.
Confirm that the proper input power voltage

is available. Check the drive configuration to
make certain the drive matches the power and
control system specifications (refer to the drive
nameplate). Check the output shaft and crank arm
assembly for proper attachment. Make certain the
linkage is properly connected. Inspect the drive
mounting platform and hold-down bolts.
For increased personal safety, on the first
start-up, place the Handswitch in a STOP position.
Make certain no movement of the crank arm or
linkage can cause personal injury.
AFTER POWER IS APPLIED

Using the Handswitch (see Outline Dimension
Drawings, pages 8–11), run the drive CW and
CCW. The drive should run smoothly to each end
of travel. If the drive does not run smoothly, switch
off power to the drive and recheck the installation
wiring. Check the linkage for proper configuration
and adjust if binding occurs.
If the above checks are satisfactory, move the
Handswitch to AUTO and control the drive with the
Demand signal.
CAUTION
The drive output shaft will reposition.
Vary the signal and ensure the drive responds

appropriately. If applicable, check the feedback
signal to see if it is realistic for the drive output
shaft position. If the drive does not respond as
expected, check for alarm indications on the LEDs
of the DCM-L board or, if equipped with a DCM-H,
use the HART compatible communicator to check
for error messages. Drive status may also be
viewed through use of the RS-232 connector (see
page 54 for details).

5. Verify that the drive works correctly as
desired.
For example, if the drive is short-stroked
(i.e., the full travel rotation from 0–100% is
reduced to less than the standard 100 degree
rotation—see the Short-stroking instructions in
the appropriate DCM-H or DCM-L section that
follows), the over-travel protection switches
should be reset. Because the over-travel
protection switches define the drive’s maximum
range, if they are to be reset, they should be
adjusted before performing DCM calibration
procedures. Calibration procedures for these
switches are the same regardless of the DCM
type installed in the drive.
The auxiliary switches are also cam operated,
but have no affect on DCM operation. Therefore,
they can be adjusted at any time without affecting
performance or calibration.

The 22-809 has two sets of three fuses.
One set of these fuses is electrically connected
between the terminal block and the main three

cleared, the drive will have no functionality. These
three fuses are located in the upper left area of the
