1. An air balancing system for manually balancing a volume of air supplied through at least one air duct to a conditioned space, said air balancing system comprising:

  • a damper rotatably mounted within the air duct by a damper shaft having a first end and a second end opposite said first end;

    an electronic pulse actuator responsive to an electronic pulse and associated with said first end;

    a housing associated with said electronic pulse actuator and adapted for operably connecting said electronic pulse actuator to said air duct;

    said housing further comprising a vertically positioned mounting plate spaced from said air duct by a stand-off bracket having a first leg parallel and spaced from a second leg, said first and second legs supporting said mounting plate;

    said mounting plate securing said electronic pulse actuator and a housing terminal, said electronic pulse actuator being spaced from said housing terminal;

    said housing terminal being in direct electrical communication with said electronic pulse actuator and a space terminal; and

    said space terminal having a communications port in direct electrical communication with a remote positioning unit for transmission of an electronic pulse from the remote positioning unit to the electronic pulse actuator along the electronic communications cable for selectively operating said damper between a partially open and a partially closed position in response to a command from a said remote positioning unit at a space terminal associated with a single zone conditioned space for manually balancing the conditioned space to receive the desired volume of air.
