![]() ![]() These diagrams will assist with connecting your actuator compatible devices together Still not receiving voltage to the actuator? We encourage you to review the wiring diagrams located on our website. Are you receiving a positive or negative 12VDC signal? ![]() Check the output of the control box, switch, relay, or motor driver.Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting wires to attempt to resolve a possible loose connection? Check the power source (power supply or battery).A voltmeter or a digital multimeter is recommended to measure voltage throughout your wiring. If using a rocker switch, relays, or control boxes, ensure that the actuator is receiving +/- 12VDC. This means that there must be a direct connection between the power source and the actuator wires to induce motion. ![]() When no power is applied, the actuator’s shaft holds its position. Reversing the polarity of the wires and applying -12VDC to the actuator wires will then retract the actuator shaft back in. This means that applying +12VDC to the actuator wires will extend the actuator shaft out. Actuators are typically two-wire devices. Multiple methods of control are available to extend or retract your actuator. For example, if your actuator has a current draw rating of 20A, the power source must be rated to output a minimum of 20A. This information can be typically found on the label of the power source. Power supplies have various current ratings – this is important to note as the actuator that you are using requires a minimum amount of available current that must be provided by the power supply or battery.Įnsure that your power supply or battery can output the current requirement of your actuator. These devices will convert 110/120VAC to 12VDC. Power supplies are AC to DC converters that plug directly into a household outlet. There are typically two types of power sources that actuator users or installers typically use to provide 12VDC to the actuators motor – battery or power supply. ![]()
