I20683 - Subject to change.
WARNING The wiring technician must be trained and
experienced with electronic circuits. Disconnect power supply
before attempting any wiring connections or changes. Make
all connections in accordance with wiring diagrams and follow
all applicable local and national codes. Provide disconnect
and overload protection as required. Use copper, twisted pair,
conductors only. If using electrical conduit, the attachment to
the actuator must be made with flexible conduit.
Always read the controller manufacturer's installation
literature carefully before making any connections. Follow
all instructions in this literature. If you have any questions,
contact the controller manufacturer.
Transformer(s)
The TNF24 . . actuator requires a 24 VAC class 2 transformer
and draws a maximum of 10 VA per actuator. The actuator
enclosure cannot be opened in the field, there are no parts or
components to be replaced or repaired.
– EMC directive: 89/336/EEC
– Software class A: Mode of operation type 1
– Low voltage directive: 73/23/EEC
CAUTION: It is good practice to power electronic or digital
controllers from a separate power transformer than that
used for actuators or other end devices. The power supply
design in our actuators and other end devices use half wave
rectification. Some controllers use full wave rectification.
When these two different types of power supplies are
connected to the same power transformer and the DC com-
mons are connected together, a short circuit is created across
one of the diodes in the full wave power supply, damaging the
controller. Only use a single power transformer to power the
controller and actuator if you know the controller power supply
uses half wave rectification.
Multiple Actuators, One Transformer
Multiple actuators may be powered from one transformer
provided the following rules are followed:
1. The TOTAL current draw of the actuators (VA rating) is
less than or equal to the rating of the transformer.
2. Polarity on the secondary of the transformer is strictly
followed. This means that all No. 1 wires from all
actuators are connected to the common leg on the
transformer and all No 2 wires from all actuators are
connected to the hotleg.
Mixing wire No. 1 & 2 on one leg
of the transformer will result in erratic operation or failure
of the actuator and/or controls.
Multiple Actuators, Multiple Transformers
Multiple actuators positioned by the same control signal may
be powered from multiple transformers provided the following
rules are followed:
1. The transformers are properly sized.
2. All No. 1 wires from all actuators are tied together and tied
to the negative leg of the control signal. See wiring
diagram page 19.
Wire Length for TNF… Actuators
Keep power wire runs below the lengths listed in the table in
Figure E. If more than one actuator is powered from the same
wire run, divide the allowable wire length by the number of
actuators to determine the maximum run to any single actuator.
Example for TNF24-SR:
3 actuators, 16 Ga wire
550 ft ÷ 3 actuators = 183 ft. maximum wire run

Wire Type and Wire Installation Tips
For most installations, 18 or 16 Ga. cable works well with the
TNF24… actuators. Use code-approved wire nuts, terminal
strips or solderless connectors where wires are joined. It is
good practice to run control wires unspliced from the actuator
to the controller. If splices are unavoidable, make sure the
splice can be reached for possible maintenance. Tape and/or
wire-tie the splice to reduce the possibility of the splice being
inadvertently pulled apart.
The TNF24… proportional actuators have a digital circuit that
is designed to ignore most unwanted input signals (pickup). In
some situations the pickup may be severe enough to cause
erratic running of the actuator. For example, a large inductive
load (high voltage AC wires, motors, etc.) running near the
power or control wiring may cause excessive pickup. To solve
this problem, make one or more of the following changes:
1. Run the wire in metallic conduit.
2. Re-route the wiring away from the source of pickup.
3. Use shielded wire (Belden 8760 or equal).
Ground the
shield to an earth ground. Do not connect it to the
actuator common.
