User Manual-MA2T Glossary The following terms and acronyms are being used in this manual. VDC+: The positive pole of power input. VDC-: The negative pole of power input. RPM: Number of turns per minute. AWG: American wiring gauge.
Target Personnel Please allow qualified mechanical and electrical professionals to perform all installation, maintenance and replacement of the TiMOTION products. Please keep the products away from people who do not have the required experiences or knowledge of the product. Warranty In general, TiMOTION provides a 24-month warranty on Industrial Motion actuators based on the manufacturing date.
TiMOTION reserves the right to change it. Support If any technical support or information is needed for this product, please contact your TiMOTION sales engineer. You can also visit https://www.TiMOTION.com/en for the product or contact information.
User Manual-MA2T Be sure that the connection bolts are secured safely and can withstand the wear. Stop the actuator immediately if anything unusual is observed. Ensure there is no side load present on the actuator. Only use the actuator within the specified working limits.
User Manual-MA2T 2. Installation Mechanical installation Mounting notice Use solid mounting pins with the proper dimension and support them at both ends. Note Correct Wrong Please mount the actuator with the mounting pins of correct dimension and without threaded at both ends of the attachments.
User Manual-MA2T Manual drive operation In case of a power failure, a manual hand crank can be used. Before performing, the power supply needs to be disconnected. When mounting the actuator, ensure there is enough space between the rear adapter and any objects.

User Manual-MA2T Electrical installation Important notice Make sure the leads/cables leading to the motor are rated to handle the maximum current. To reduce the chance of a crushing hazard, we recommend an emergency stop. If you are not using soft stop on a DC-motor, a short peak of high voltage will be sent towards the power ...

Please be sure all contacts, switches, and relays are sized appropriately to handle the inrush current. It is not recommended to configure the hard start setting to the soft start function with the MA2T. PGMA setting with the soft start is not recommended to be set at 0 (zero) seconds.
TiMOTION’s sales representatives for more detailed information. In general, the MA2T T-Smart version cable exit can have a maximum of 3 sets with 8 pins, 6 pins, and 2 pins. (2 power wire pins and/or up to 8 signal wire pins and/or up to 6 PGMA & Reed signal wire pins.)
User Manual-MA2T T-Smart The actuator is equipped with T-Smart PCBA, allowing position feedback (Single Hall, Double Hall, PWM, Hall-POT) and EOS feedback to PLC, Reed switch signal output to PLC or up to 8 actuators having synchronized function when actuators extended or retracted.

User Manual-MA2T 3. PGMA Installation Connection Unless the customer requests to ship separately, all cables will be fixed onto the actuator under the default installation procedure. For PGMA settings, it is required to change the short circuit plug or the Reed sensor cable on P2. Either one needs to be replaced by a TAD1 extension cable.
With the outer tube reed sensor connected on the short circuit plug by default. All the cables will be tested according to TiMOTION’s factory assembly standard procedure before shipping. Ensure to protect the plugs and pins during the process.
User Manual-MA2T Steps for cable replacement This illustration shows how to replace the default installed P2 short circuit plug with the extension cables for the PGMA setting. Step 1: Unscrew the cover. Step 2: Remove the cover. Step 3: Unplug the short circuit plug.
User Manual-MA2T Power Install the PGMA software on computers and close the program after completing installation. Once the TAD1 extension cable is replaced, connect the TAD1 to the computer, the LED on the TAD1 will constantly shine, indicating a successful connection.
