10. Electrical installation
System’s components involved:
actuator, supply connector, all the electrical cables
10.1. Wiring from the battery to the actuator (input cables)
10.1.1. The supply connector
First of all you must wire the power supply cable, do not connect any other cable before having
checked that this operation has been performed correctly!
Choose a cable with a cross section of at least
2,5 mm
2
.
Each actuator is delivered with an external supply plug, identify the insert of the power plug:
•
pay attention that the positive wire must be screwed to the clamp with the red mark
•
insert the plug into the connector of the actuator box and power-up
•
open the actuator box removing the 4 plastic screws
If the plug has been wired properly, after power up, the display shows a sequence of 2 codes: ‘FI’ and ‘XX’:
‘FI’ means Firmware;
‘XX’ is the firmware version.
… and after 2 seconds the display shows “_ _”.
If the display on the actuator doesn’t show any light, it means that there is no power supply on the actuator
box.
Causes:
•
the electrical connection is missing, check where
•
the actuator has been supplied with inverse polarity, therefore:
•
swap plus and minus wires, in order to re-stablish the right polarity on the supply cable
•
replace the fuse of 6,3 Amps that you find on the front of the actuator box
•
insert again the plug into the connector of the actuator box and power-up
If the display is lighted, the cabling is correct and you see on the actuator’s display the following sequence of
digits reported here abow (FI XX _ _).
In case of installations with 2 actuators, repeat the same procedure on each actuator (check that both displays
light on). Only after you have assured that the actuators have been powered up correctly, you can connect the
CANBus cable between the actuators and all the other electrical cables.
