Command  

Signal Type 

 

  Sets type of command signal used.  

10V: 

0-10V or 2-10V 

5V: 

0-5V or 1-5V 

mA Sink: 

4-20mA sinking 

mA Src: 

4-20mA sourcing 

135 Ohm 
  1k Ohm: 

2-wire variable resistance input. Selectable between typical 135Ω slide wire, 
or 1kΩ potentiometer. 

ON-OFF: 

Independent Open and Close inputs. Feedback is disabled.

Command Zero 

  Sets command signal zero raw count value. Value is scaled between 12 bit count of 0 and 4095 for the selected 

command type range. When selected, provide minimum command signal to save.

Loss of Signal 

  Sets behavior of actuator when command signal is lost. 

In Place: 

Remains in current position on loss of command signal. 

Open: 

Moves to programmed Open position on loss of command signal. 

Close: 

Moves to programmed Close position on loss of command signal. 

Position: 

Moves to position defined in “Fail to Position” setting.
