ITCHING A double pole double throw DPDT rocker switch can be wired to swap the polarity on the wires going to the motor and control the extension and retraction of the actuator This is achieved by making the connections between the switch sold separately the power source e g battery or DC power supply and the actuator wires as follows Power Source Switch Actuator TROUBLESHOOTING Unit will not extend retract or stops in mid stroke POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Motor Failure Use ohmmeter to check resistance of the coil Bad Connection Inspect for broken or loose wires between the power source and the actuator If a switch is being used check connections between the switch and the actuator power source Thermal Overload Open If run at a duty cycle greater than 25 or unit is overloaded the thermal overload in the motor may open to protect the motor Allow motor to cool and overload to reset Confirm the application to ensure that the unit is not overloaded and that it is not running at greater than 25 duty cycle Insufficient Current Power may be reaching the motor but with insufficient current to provide full load moving capacity Use an amp meter to confirm that sufficient current is reaching the actuator Overloaded Clutch Slipping When a unit is overloaded the clutch will slip generating a ratcheting noise within the unit Reduce the load to within specifications and ensure the clutch has not been worn out WARRA

4. ff for 7 5 minutes Exceeding the duty cycle will cause the actuator motor to overheat and permanently fail 1 Mount the actuator by securing the top and bottom mounting holes to two fixed positions The stroke length of the actuator e g 12 inches and the limitations of the particular application will determine the location of the fixed mounting positions IMPORTANT Confirm that up down movement of the actuator is smooth and within the actuators stroke length after installation 2 Secure the top and bottom mounting holes of the linear actuator onto the two mounting fixtures using 5 16 diameter bolts windynation Page 1 of 2 Actuator User Manual Revision 3 0 3 Connect the red wire to the positive post and the black wire to the negative post of a 12 volt DC power supply 4 The operation of the linear actuator should be tested manually after the installation is completed Users should use caution to ensure that e The travel distance of the actuator satisfies the requirement of the structural design e The extended and retracted limit switches operate normally The limit switches should stop the motor when the extension tube is fully retracted or fully extended e If the motor runs too slow or does not give full force 1 the power supply is insufficient and needs to be increased or 2 the load being applied to the actuator is too great and needs to be reduced to less than or equal to 225 Ibs OPERATION FORWARD REVERSE SW
