PROCEDURE

1. Turn off power to actuator.


2. Remove screws securing cover to gearbox and remove cover.
3. Remove two (2) 4-40 x 1” long screws securing switches to base.
4. Stack auxiliary switch(es) on top of existing limit switches.
5. Secure switches with 4-40 x 1 1/2” long screw if one auxiliary switch was added or 4-40 x 2” long
screw if two auxiliary switches were added.
6. Install yellow cam first, if two auxiliary switches are being added install green cam onto shaft last,
it will be on top of stack of four switches.
7. Remove two (2) 6-32 x 1/2” long screws securing the terminal strip (#1 - 6) to base.
8. Install terminal strip sent with kit (# 7 - 12) on top of the strip (#1 - 6) and offset the top strip (#7
- 12) so the first set of terminal screws on the bottom (#1 - 6) strip can be accessed with a screw
driver. With the terminal strips stacked and offset install the 6-32 x 1” long screw through the front
hole in the top (#7 - 12) terminal strip and the back hole in the bottom (#1 - 6) terminal strip,
secure terminal strips to base.
9. Connect the common (C) lead of third switch to terminal connection #7, the normally open (NO)
to #8 and normally closed (NC) to #9. If a second auxiliary switch is being installed connect
common (C) of top switch (#4 up from base) to terminal connection #10, the NO to #11 and NC
to #12.

SET AUXILIARY SWITCH

1. Turn on power to actuator.

CAUTION: At this time there are live circuits in the actuator; contact may cause electrical
shock or death.

2. Operate actuator to the close position.


3. Rotate the third cam up from the base CCW so the set screw is accessible and the round
of the cam has switch arm compressed.
4. Rotate the cam CW until you hear the switch snap from the NO to the NC contact.
5. Lock cam in position by securing 8-32 x 1/4” long set screw to shaft.
6. Operate actuator to the open position.
7. Rotate top cam CW so set screw is accessible and round of cam has switch arm
compressed.
8. Rotate top cam CCW until the switch snaps from the NO to the NC contact.
9. Lock cam in position by securing 8-32 x 1/4” long set screw to shaft.
10. Wire auxiliary switch to peripheral equipment, use terminal connections 7 through 12.
11. Test setting to assure proper operation.
12. If desired setting has not been achieved repeat steps 2 through 11.
13. Once proper settings have been accomplished replace cover and secure cover screws.
