  • Page 24: Installation

    Lubrication The TLM and TSM Series actuators are shipped from the factory fully greased and ready for installation. Exlar recommends using Mobilith SHC 220, a high performance, extreme-pressure grease. The unique physical properties of the synthetic base oil provide outstanding protection against wear, rust, corrosion and high or low-temperature degradation.

  • Page 25: General Operation

    General Operation The Tritex Series of actuators and motors function in the same manner as a brushless servomotor. The servo amplifier is used to rotate the motor at controlled speed and torque, and for controlled numbers of revolutions and move times. This rotary motion is translated into linear motion by the internal planetary roller screw mechanism of the TLM Series linear actuator.

    RS-485 Power Supply Selection The Tritex actuator requires DC power. The actuator Bus and Logic supplies will operate on voltages of 24 or 48 V DC nominal. The continuous operating range is 20-60 VDC. The drive has internal Bus over-voltage fault that will occur at 85VDC. The input current requirements are dependent on the actuator power required for the installation.

  • Page 40: Regulated Vs Unregulated Power Supplies

    If a regulated power supply is used for bus power, a blocking diode should be installed to protect the power supply. See Power Supply Wiring Diagrams section below Tritex 1 Installation and Setup 09/27/12 PN: 27666 Exlar Corporation Rev.

  • Page 67: Communication Between Pc And Tritex

    Communication between PC and Tritex The Actuator uses an RS 485 hardware connection with a Modbus RTU protocol, therefore an adapter will be required to interface from the PC RS232 or USB port to the RS485 port. See Installation section for Details on the RS485 port.

  • Page 68: Port Settings

    RS232 port it is typically COM1 or COM2, if a USB converter is used the port number is typically 3-6, find the COM port number from the PC Device Manger screen see Communication between PC and Tritex above.
