Brand: Honeywell
Located in: Dampers, Replacement Damper Motors
Trol-A-Temp MST Motor Switch Terminal The Motor Switch Terminal, Model MST, is a 24 Volt, AC two-position motor. This motor is used with Trol-A-Temp and EWC opposed blade dampers, automatic registers and diffusers. The MST replaces the similar Trol-A-Temp model and the EWC MAN model. The MST requires a Single Pole-Double Throw (SPDT) to operate the motor to the open and closed position. Once the motor reaches the Open or Closed position, the motor’s internal end switches cuts power to the motor. Therefore the MST only uses power while moving between open and closed. Once the motor is in either the open or closed position it consumes no power. The MST also has 3 auxiliary end switches that can be used to turn on the furnace, fan or cooling when the damper is open, as well as control a secondary slave damper. See the legend below for the function of each terminal. Terminal Functions 1. 24 Volt Power Common –C 2. 24 Volt Power Hot –R 3.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Trol-A-Temp MST Motor Switch Terminal:

The MST replacements keep a 34 year old zone system working great. I changed out the old trop-a-temp control panel with a honeywell hz-322k last year, the wiring was a direct replacement and with the dampers working again my two stage heat and cooling will continue to save money. As an fyi - took the dampers out and cleaned with denatured alcohol and they now work smoothly with the new mst.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Trol-A-Temp MST Motor Switch Terminal:

Someone said you lose one of these every few years but that is not my experience. In 25 years I had lost one circa year 5 and got an actual Trol-O-Temp replacement for it. Funny thing is that it was the same one this time in a three zone system. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with that zone. I almost changed out the whole control system a couple years ago when the oil fired furnace had to go, because parts were thought to be no longer available and I wanted to switch to a dual fueled situation. Anyway, this unit looked good out of the package, but something changed in that it had to be forced into the mounting box. So much so a piece of plastic broke off the box about 3/8" by 1.5". I covered the gap with duct tape and kept going. The instructions were the same that I kept from start-up installation 25 years ago, cool. They say start up is "closed", but for me the thing went "open". It's in the worst of my three locations, but I took it back down and reset the cam so it would work for me and put it back. Now it wouldn't work at all (kept spinning), but son who is less than 25 years, found a problem with my eyesight and wire coloring. He switched the two offenders and . . . wallah! I'm good for another 25 years. Or maybe the next guy is.

Comments about Honeywell Honeywell Trol-A-Temp MST Motor Switch Terminal:

While it works perfectly and was easy to understand how to install it. It wasn't all that easy to do:

1) It's not a perfect replacement for the control I had. It's slightly too large to fit in the housing and had to be filed down a bit to fit.

2) I think that the included hex wrench was not the right size for the set screw I had as I managed to strip it and had to drill it out.

However after all that, it's been working just fine and I saved a lot of money in not having to calling the HVAC guys for my 18 year old vane control.
