General Notes on Start-Up
CAUTION
Unintentional motion of the linear actuator while connecting it to the controller!
Do not place any objects in areas where they can be caught by moving parts.
Keep your fingers at a safe distance from the motion range of the linear actuator.
NOTICE
Damage if a wrong motor controller is connected!
Connecting a linear actuator to an unsuitable controller can cause damage to the linear
actuator or controller.
Connect a linear actuator with DC motor to a DC motor controller only.
Connect a linear actuator with stepper motor to a stepper motor controller only.
NOTICE
Damage due to the pusher crashing into the hard stop!
When the limit switches are deactivated, the motion of the pusher is aborted by the hard
stop and the L-220 can be damaged.
Do
not
deactivate the limit switches in the software.
Test limit switch operation at low velocities only.
NOTICE
Damage or considerable wear due to high accelerations!
High accelerations can cause damage to or considerable wear on the mechanical system.
Stop the motion immediately if a controller malfunction occurs.
Ensure that the end of the travel range is approached at low velocity.
Set the control signal so that the moving part does not stop abruptly or try to
continue motion at the end of the travel range.
Determine the maximum velocity for your application.
