Troubleshooting
Auxiliary Switch Does Not Work
•
Check the auxiliary switch setting. See
Switch (MEP-4x2x/4x7x) on page 12
.
•
Fail-Safe Does Not Work
•
After initial connection or reconnection to power
on MEP-42x2/45x2/49x2 proportional models,
proper fail-safe operation might be delayed
up to 30 seconds (until the capacitors are fully
charged).
•
Check the Fail-Safe Direction switch. See
Safe Direction (MEP-42/45/49xx) on page 13
Feedback Does Not Work
• Check the feedback
tional (MEP-4xx2) Models Setup on page 10
.
•
No Rotation
•
After initial power-up, proportional fail-safe
MEP-42x2/45x2/49x2 actuators delay enabling
motor operation until the fail-safe capacitors are
charged. No actuator rotation will take place for
at least the first 30 seconds.
•
Check that direction switches are fully engaged
(MEP-4xx2) Models Setup on page 10
and
Tri-State/2-Position Rotation Direction on page
•
Check that the shaft moves freely. (Press and
hold the gear disengagement lever and manually
rotate the shaft.)
• Check for a tripped circuit breaker to the trans-
former (or power supply).
• Check polarity and strength of input signal.
• Check for proper supply voltage from the trans-
former (or power supply) and that it has enough
capacity (VA) for all connected devices. See their
respective data sheets and
24-Volt Power Application Note (AN0604D)
.
•
Check the wiring. (See
Rotation in Wrong Direction
• For proportional models, check the position of
the direction
(MEP-4xx2) Models Setup on page 10
•
For tri-state and tri-state/two-position mod
-
els, check the CW/CCW wiring and rotation
direction switch if applicable. See
Position Rotation Direction on page 11
.
• For fail-safe operation, check the Fail-Safe
Direction switch. See
.
Stroke Range Is Wrong
• For proportional models, check the auto-
Proportional (MEP-4xx2) Models
.
• Check the adjustable stop.
• Check the voltage from the controller or thermo-
stat.
