3. Actuator, Motor, and Driver Models
• An OLE actuator with motor attached.
• A small flat blade screwdriver for tightening the connectors.
•
Wires - 18 to 20 gage recommended
•
Wire cutter/stripper
• An appropriate DC power supply.
a. Mount your drive
Mount the drive using #6 screws.
Installing on a metal surface
(recommended) helps dissipate heat.
Forced air flow from a fan is also
good practice.

The DRV-4 accepts power supply voltages from 24 to 48 VDC, while the
DRV-8 accepts power supply voltages from 24 to 75 VDC. The current
demand will never exceed double the motor current (see Table 3, Amps
column). However, the DRV will convert a high voltage low current power
supply into a lower voltage higher current power supply. A 24V 4A supply will
perform similarly to a 48V 2A supply. Use Table 7 below as a guideline.
!
Warning: Do not apply power until all connections are made.
!
Use unregulated power supplies without overvoltage protection
to avoid problems with regeneration during rapid deceleration.
