3.5.5 Power cord specification
To avoid malfunctions caused by voltage drop, the cross-section of the power cord must be large enough. The
cross-section of the MK35 power cord is 2.0mm² (14AWG) and the maximum length is 3 meters. If the customer
must connect an extension cord, the length and cross-section requirements of the extension cord are as follows.

Installation and operation of control options
3.6.1 Input voltage
It is forbidden to adjust the input voltage in an attempt to control the speed of the MK35 actuator. The battery or
full-wave rectified DC power used must be within acceptable voltage range, otherwise the actuator will stop
operating. If pulse width modulation (PWM) is used as the input power of MK35, it will cause malfunctions and
cause permanent damage.
3.6.2 Determine control options
MK35 actuator is equipped with one of the control options in the table below. Please check the model number on
the product label (section 3.1), and then refer to the model coding (section 6.2) to identify the control options of
the actuator. Then check the corresponding sections in the table below for more details.

●
When the actuator starts, an inrush current of about 0.2 seconds will be
generated. The starting inrush current of MK35 can reach 3 times of the
maximum current under the rated load of the actuator.
●
If a circuit board power supply is used, the specifications must be sufficient
to handle the inrush current. If batteries are used as the power source,
inrush current will not be a problem. Besides, the connectors, switches and
relays selected by user must also be able to withstand the inrush current.
