If  a  previously  stored  value  for  the  retract 
position does not allow you to jog to the new 
desired  retracted  position,  hold  down  the 
push  button  S2  for  longer  than  one  second. 
The  retracted  limit  switch  function  is  now 
disabled. Pay  close  attention  to  the  physical 
end  limits  of  the  actuator  and  as  well  the 
attached equipment. 
To store the value of that position hold down 
the push button S2 for 0.5 to 1 second.  
 
 

Change to Mode 2 

 
Press push button S1 for 0.5 to 1 second. The 
LED pattern will change to a flashing green 
LED and the yellow LED will turn off.  
 
 

Mode 2 
Adjustment extended position: 

 
If  no  adjustment  to  the  extended  position  is 
required  go  to  the  section  “Change  to 
Operating Mode”. 
 
If  adjustments  are  required  the  actuator 
should  be  jogged  to  the  desired  extended 
position.  To  store  the  value  of  that  position 
hold  down  the  push  button  S2  for  0.5  to  1 
seconds. 
If a previously stored value for the extended 
position does not allow you to jog to the new 
desired  extended  position,  hold  down  the 
push  button  S2  for  longer  than  one  second. 
The  extended  limit  switch  function  is  now 
disabled. Pay  close  attention  to  the  physical 
end  limits  of  the  actuator  and  as  well  the 
attached equipment. 
To store the value of that position hold down 
the push button S2 for 0.5 to 1 second. 
 
 

Operating Mode 

 
Hold  down  the  push  button  S1  for  0.5  to  1 
second.  The  LED  pattern  will  change  to  its 
normal  operational  condition.  See  above 
“LED Display” section.

TTL Level Communication Interface 

 
The  EPS02  is  equipped  with  a  TTL 
level  communication  interface.  To 
connect  the  unit  to  a  standard  RS232 
interface  or  USB  interface,  a  signal 
converter 

is 

required. 

It 

is 

recommended,  especially  in  harsh  and 
noisy  environments,  to  use  a  galvanic 
isolated  converter  to  protect  the  RS232 
serial  or  USB  port  of  your  laptop  or 
computer  from  transient  voltage  spikes 
or  other  magnetic  fields  which  can  be 
introduced into the connection cable. In 
modest  environmental  conditions  a 
straight  through  TTL  to  USB  can  be 
used. The 10 pin square post connector 
as  well  as  the  4  pole  plug  connector 
provide  the  +5V  to  power  up  the 
optically  isolated  side  of  the  converter. 
The  other  side  of  the  converter  will  be 
powered up by the RS232 or USB port 
of the laptop or computer.
