Multiple Actuator (Parallel) Wiring
Use a multiple pole switch to connect two VA-9070 Series electric actuators. See
the
Correct Wiring
schematic in Figure 1.
Do not connect more than one actuator to a Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT)
switch. In the actuator, voltage is present on the non-powered motor winding
(opposite to the powered motor winding). Connecting the voltage-containing,
non-powered motor winding to another voltage-containing, non-powered motor
winding interferes with the motor performance. See the
Incorrect Wiring
Setup and Adjustment
To set up and adjust the actuator, use the following procedure:
1. Set up and adjust the electrical travel switches and manual travel stops. See the
Electrical Travel Switches and Manual Travel Stop Adjustments
section in this
document.
2. Set the potentiometer. See the
document.
3. Calibrate the servo. See the
section in this document.
