Installation

The connection cables between units on the bus (from battery to LA10 and between the LA10 actuators)
should be kept as short as possible – use the recommended 400 mm or 800 mm cables and avoid excess
cable�
This becomes more important when having several PLC units (multiple LA10s) on the bus� If this requirement
is not met, communication may be lost and the movement interrupted�
Recommended cable length between the SMPS and the actuator:
• Min� 1�8 m
• Max� 5 m
Shorter cable:
The system may not work correctly, or it may behave in an unexpected way�
Longer cable:
Voltage drop causing the system to run slower�
In general, a rule of thumb for a multiple-actuator system is that the total cable length after the first unit
must be maximum the same length as the cable length from SMPS to the first unit�

Example:
In a system with a 2�5 m charging cable and a 0�5 m charging point cable (in total 3 m from SMPS to the
first PLC unit), the cable length from the first PLC unit to the last PLC unit must be maximum 3 m�
