[1] Start of home return → [2] Home-sensor detection (when the contact B logic is selected: detection
of the falling edge or ON state of the signal) → [3] Reversing → [4] Home-sensor detection (when the
contact B logic is selected: detection of the rising edge or OFF state of the signal) → [5] Movement
by a specified offset → [5] Home position.
* If home return operation is started with the actuator positioned inside the home-sensor detection
range, the actuator will move out of the home-sensor detection range first and then implement
home return operation.

Caution: The actuator always rotates in the specified direction during home return.
If the home return direction is of standard specification, the actuator always rotates in
the counterclockwise direction.
With an actuator of multi-rotation specification, take note that the actuator always returns
home in the counterclockwise direction from positions outside the home-sensor
detection range shown in the figure. The actuator will not take a short-cut.
If you have guided a cable, etc., through an open hole in the actuator, pay attention to
the load received by the cable.
The cable may be severed if an excessive load is applied.
