3.2 Inside a Q actuator
The MFU is fitted in the option board position in this actuator. Only one option board may be fitted at
any one time. The necessary internal components must also be present; in this case a potentiometer
and auxiliary limit switches at end of travel must be fitted to the actuator.
The illustration (Fig 8) shows the Q version of the circuit board.
Digital Outputs from relay contacts are not supported from the Q actuator, nor is the ability to report
the status of the remote control inputs as Digital Inputs. The following table shows the wiring
harnesses that must be fitted and the function of each loom for the Q range actuator.

Note:
- Only available on Single Channel module
In a Q actuator there is a direct connection from PL2 on the Modbus Module to SK5 of the actuator
main board.
To restore the card to its default of Modbus Mk2 and the associated default parameter settings, LK1
should be fitted and the actuator power cycled. In normal operation LK1, shown above in Figure 8,
should not be fitted.
