6.1 General Notes on Start-Up
CAUTION
Unintentional motion of the linear actuator while connecting it to the motor
controller!
Do not place any objects in areas where they can get 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 M-235 can be damaged.
Do
not
deactivate the limit switches in the software.
Test limit switch operation at low velocities only.
