The Honeywell 205820A Foot-Mount Bracket is designed for the three-point mounting of Direct Coupled Actuators (DCA). Installation must be performed by a trained, experienced service technician. Always verify product ratings against your specific application before installation.
Specifications
The kit includes the following parts:

- 1 Bracket
- 3 Hexagonal Standoffs
- 3 Screws
- 3 Lockwashers
Installation
Mounting procedures vary depending on the DCA model. High-torque models (150 lb-in. and 300 lb-in.) do not require standoffs.


Standard Mounting
- Attach the 1/2 in. (13 mm) hexagonal standoffs to the bracket using three 1/4 in. screws and lockwashers.
- Mount the bracket to the surface using any two of the five mounting holes.
- Attach the DCA to the open end of the hexagonal standoffs using three 1/4 in. screws and lockwashers.
- Remove the actuator output hub if desired (refer to actuator instructions).
- Perform wiring and operating procedures as specified in the actuator instructions.
High-Torque Mounting
- Mount the bracket to the surface using any two of the five mounting holes.
- Attach the DCA directly to the bracket using three 1/4 in. screws and lockwashers.
- Remove the actuator output hub if desired (refer to actuator instructions).
- Perform wiring and operating procedures as specified in the actuator instructions.

Practical help
Common problems
Verify if your DCA is a high-torque model (150 lb-in. or 300 lb-in.). High-torque models do not use standoffs; standard models do.
Before use
- Ensure the installer is a trained, experienced service technician.
- Verify the product ratings match your application.
- Identify if your DCA is a high-torque model (150 lb-in. or 300 lb-in.).
- Check that all parts (Bracket, 3 Standoffs, 3 Screws, 3 Lockwashers) are present.
Specs in practice
- High-torque DCA
- Models rated at 150 lb-in. and 300 lb-in. which require direct mounting without standoffs.
- Standard Mounting
- Requires the use of 1/2 in. (13 mm) hexagonal standoffs.
