3 Product Description Technical Features 3.8.1 Limit Switches The M-228 / M-229 is equipped with noncontact, Hall effect limit switches. Each limit switch sends an overrun signal on a dedicated line to the controller. The controller then stops the motion. If the controller does not stop the motion in time, the linear actuator runs into the hard stop.
4 Unpacking Unpacking 1. Unpack the M-228 / M-229 with care. 2. Compare the contents with the scope of delivery according to the contract and the delivery note. 3. Inspect the contents for signs of damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact our customer service department (p.
