4.6.10 Control option LXP
In addition to all of the features included in the LXX version (section 4.6.8), LXP also includes a
potentiometer providing a voltage signal for the customer to use to determine position, speed and
direction.
Power the actuator by connecting red to + Vdc and black to - Vdc in the power cable. To extend the
actuator apply +Vdc to violet and to retract apply +Vdc to orange in the signal cable while applying -Vdc
to grey.
