The electrical housing is pre-wired and tested before shipping.
The electrical housing controls the retracted and extended positions as well as the synchronization of the actuators’
movement. The synchronization is accomplished by sensors positioned inside the actuator that communicate with the
electrical housing. These sensors, along with the housing software, will keep the two actuators synchronized within ½” of
each other during travel. When an actuator gets ½” ahead of the other actuator the system will shut the faster actuator
down for a split second until the slower actuator catches up and then continues movement again.
1)
All control wires for the actuators to the controller and connection from the boat power are supplied with
Deutsch connectors. Once the control wiring for the actuators is properly fed through tubing and fiberglass,
connect one end of the control wire to the actuator and the other end to the electrical housing.
2)
Connect the power source to the controller, be sure that the wires providing power to the controller are a 6-8
gauge wire. Too small of a gauge wire can drop voltage and cause an intermittent situation during travel. All
fuses and switch wiring, etc should be to spec with the supplied documentation.
