Operation
4.1
Controlling an actuator
The EHE handswitch is used to actuate one
or more ECOMAG linear actuators. A control
panel is provided on the front foil of each
handswitch for each actuator that is to be
controlled (see Fig. 12). This consists of two
push-buttons that are positioned offset
from each other. On the front plate are the
symbols which are assigned to the function
and are used for adjusting the individual lin-
ear actuators.
Up to 4 linear actuators can be actuated
separately.

Pressing one of the push-buttons activates the relevant linear actuator. It moves for
as long as the button is held depressed.

Fastening hook
It is possible to retrofit the handswitch with a fastening hook.
The fastening hook is attached to the adhesive surface provided on the rear of the
handswitch using adhesive film.
4.2
Locking device
As an option, it is also possible to lock the
individual actuators on the EHE handswitch.
This gives the unit failure safety in accor-
dance with EN 60601-2-38.
In Lock or Unlock programming mode, the
locking key must always be placed in the
bores situated on the rear of the
handswitch.

AB
AUF
If the feed speed of the linear actuator dimin-
ishes, or it no longer works under load, it must
be uninstalled immediately and taken out of
use.
Risk of personal injury!
To avoid inadvertent activation of the control
device, we recommend the optional locking
device (EHE3).
After locking or unlocking, the locking key
must be removed and the set functions
checked.
