Potentiom eter only (no transmitter function)
1. Make electrical connections to terminals 7,8 and 9. Check that the potentiometer is connected to
connector C on the printed circuit board.
2. Stroke the actuator to check direction of travel indicated by the potentiometer. To change
direction of travel, swap wires at terminals 7 and 9.
3. Stroke the actuator to the position where the minimum potentiometer resistance is desired.
4. Adjust the potentiometer output reading to approx. 50 Ohm by rotating gear wheel 2 with special
tool F5-22 or tip of a screw driver placed in one of the slotted holes.
5. Stroke the actuator to desired maximum resistance position and check reading.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 if necessary to obtain desired resistance change.
7. Set switches or install frontcover.
