Mounting and supported as shown in the image to the Bracket right. The mounting bracket is not supplied by Hanbay. Cable Entry Exceptionally, the actuator may be suspended on the tubing itself but ONLY if the application is vibration free and the tubing is minimum ¼” dia.
User Manual MCx-xxxAS-1.05 Power Supply and Draw The MCx-xxxAS may be connected to voltages ranging within 12-24 VDC. The current draw will range from minimum 100 mA to maximum 3 A while the actuator is active. When not moving, the actuator draws approx. 50 mA. Control Signal and Feedback Locate the correct connection terminals as shown in the picture on p.2, then connect your communication wires to PIN 3 and PIN 4 (grey and pink wires), as shown below.
User Manual MCx-xxxAS-1.05 OPERATION DIP switches The DIP switches allow you to change the settings on your actuator. To flip a switch, gently use a small flat-head screwdriver. See the table below for DIP switch functionality. In this example DIPs 1, 2, 5 and 12 are on. Function Baud Rate: Choose the rate at which information is transferred.
User Manual MCx-xxxAS-1.05 Set the actuator address With the DIP switch selector, you can set any address between 1 and 63. (1 = “On” 0 = “Off”). To change the address, turn off the actuator, change the setting of DIP switches and power it up again. Actuator Dip3 Dip4...
02 (0x02) Read Discrete Inputs 03 (0x03) Read Holding Registers. 04 (0x04) Read Input Registers. 06 (0x06) Write Single Register. Hanbay function codes: (see p.13 for examples) 100 (0x64) Re-zero the actuator. 101 (0x65) Close the valve. 102 (0x66) Open the valve.
User Manual MCx-xxxAS-1.05 Speed and Torque Settings During normal operation, the actuator will try to reach the speed set by “MaximumSpeed”. If the torque required to reach this speed exceeds the actuator model’s capability, the actuator will automatically slow down. Please refer to the tables in the Speed and Torque Details section for each actuator model’s torque capability.
