If you are unsure of the potentiometer wiring for your actuator see Determining correct actuator feedback wiring on page 43 When routing the actuator feedback wires do not run them in or along the same conduit as AC power lines Follow the guidelines on page 9 If you are measuring AC power with a DMM note that if a limit switch opens the circuit the DMM measures voltage after the relay switch even if the relay is open 42 Phason Connecting equipment to Power Blocks Determining correct actuator feedback wiring After installing a new actuator or potentiometer or due to age related potentiometer wear the actuator might not move correctly Common symptoms include The actuator oscillating back and forth The actuator not traveling the full stroke during calibration The feedback potentiometer wiring must be properly connected to the control Determining the correct wiring can be difficult on some actuators or potentiometers Potentiometers have three wires positive negative and feedback FB If the feedback wire is not connected to the FB terminal on the control the actuator will not function properly Because the wires are often different colors and are not always labeled the same as above measuring the resistance between the wires is the best way to determine which wire is the feedback wire Follow the steps below to measure the resistance and determine the correct wiring Befo
