10.2. Wiring from the actuator to command stations, engines,
gearboxes, trim/flaps, etc (output cables)
Almost every cable is provided with its unique connector, therefore it is easy to identify the cable type, its
function and where to mount it. Each connector has a different polarization, so it is almost impossible to mount
a cable in the wrong position. For the description of all the types of cables, look at chapter 6.
When mounting the electronic engine cable on the actuator, align the polarization keys and insert
carefully the M12 connector of the cable on the actuator M12 counterpart.
Rotate then the M12 ring until
the cable enters completely into the counterpart. If the cable has been inserted correctly, it must be possible to
screw completely by hand the cable without too much efforts (around 6 full rotations).
There are basically 4 types of actuators classified on the type of interface (mechanic or electronic) and on the
type of connector placed on the actuator itself (with or without neutral relay).
10.2.1. Actuator with mechanical interface without neutral relay
For better comprehension are depicted only the electrical connections and not the mechanical linkages. This
actuator is available in versions with neutral relay, with or without trim and it is suitable for the following
applications:
mechanical engine and mechanical gearbox (only 1 propulsion group per actuator)
mechanical engine and solenoid driven gearbox (up to 2 propulsion groups per actuator)
electronic engine and mechanical gearbox (up to 2 propulsion groups per actuator)
