This user manual does not address the end-user, but is intended as a source of information for the manufacturer of the equipment or system only, and it will tell you how to install, use and maintain your LINAK electronics. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer of the end-use product to provide a User Manual where relevant safety information from this manual is passed on to the end-user.
LINAK customer using any LINAK product. LINAK shall be responsible solely that LINAK products comply with the specifications set out by LINAK and it shall be the responsibility of the LINAK customer to ensure that the specific LINAK product can be used for the application in question.
Chapter 1 Safety instructions Please read this safety information carefully: Be aware of the following three symbols throughout the user manual: Warning! Failing to follow these instructions can cause accidents resulting in serious personal injury. Recommendations Failing to follow these instructions can result in the actuator suffering damage or being ruined. Additional information Usage tips or additional information that is important in connection with the use of the actuator.

During operation, please be aware of the following: • Listen for unusual sounds and watch out for uneven running. Stop the actuator immediately if anything unusual is observed. • Do not sideload the actuator. • Only use the actuator within the specified working limits. •...
Please pay special attention to the area around the housing where parts can be trapped and cause damage to the application and actuator. In applications with high dynamic forces LINAK recommends not to use the fully extended or retracted position over longer time, as this can damage the endstop system permanently.

It is the application manufacturer’s responsibility to incorporate a suitable safety arrangement, which will prevent personal injury from occurring, if the actuator should fail. LINAK’s actuators are not designed for use within the following fields: • Offshore installations • Explosive environments •...
3.5 ± 0.3 Nm TORX 25IP When changing the cables on a LINAK actuator, it is important that this is done carefully, in order to protect the plugs and pins. Before the new cable is mounted, we recommend that the socket is greased with vaseline, to keep the high IP protection and ensure an easy mounting.
Electrical installation • To ensure maximum self-locking ability, please be sure that the motor is shorted when stopped. Actuators with integrated controller provide this feature, as long as the actuator is powered. • When using soft stop on a DC-motor, a short peak of higher voltage will be sent back towards the power supply.

Correct wiring of Power GND and Signal GND for IC Advanced and Proportional When using the feedback output, it is important to use the right connection setup. Attention should be paid to the two ground connections. Power GND in the Power connector and Signal GND in the Control connector. When using either 0-10V, Hall or PWM feedback, the Signal GND must be used.

Only for Non-critical Parallel systems • The Non-critical Parallel system offers auto-detection for every single power up if a new actuator is added to the line (system) • To add or remove actuators from the system, the system needs to be shut down and powered up again. Please be aware, that after re-powering, the system will not detect if an actuator is missing! •...
