    This document is intended to clearly present comprehensive product data and provide technical information to assist the end user in design applications. Kobelt reserves the right, without notice, to change the design, or construction, of any products and to discontinue or limit distribution of any products.
  • Page 5 Ensure that all power sources are locked out prior to performing work. Pinch Points: The 6527 actuator contains pinch points, which can cause bodily harm. Ensure that hands and fingers remain clear of the pinch points when performing work.

  • Page 6: Product Description

    The Kobelt 6527 actuator is an electro-mechanical actuator that converts rotary motion from a DC motor to produce linear motion on a push/pull cable via the output lever. The 6527-S version has onboard electronics to control the motion and is connected to the Mighty Mariner propulsion control system via a CANbus interface.

    3.2.1 Hardware The 6527 actuator can be used with either 30 series or 40 series control cable. Kobelt Manufacturing does not recommend solid core cables if bends are present in the cable routing. A solid core cable would consist of a single wire that is too stiff. Multi-stranded cores are more flexible and therefore generates less friction during operation.
  • Page 9 For applications that require accurate positioning, a tie rod with rod ends is recommended over a push/pull cable. For terminating the cables Kobelt recommends a ball rod end. Rod ends are self-aligning and therefore minimize friction and binding. When installing hardware to the cable end, do not twist the core. If required, use a pair of pliers to hold the cable core from turning while installing the terminating hardware.
  • Page 10 Avoid routing the cable near sources of heat, such as exhaust pipes. 3.2.3 Cable Connection The 6527 actuator has a lever mechanism for actuating the clutch and the throttle. Consult the figure at left to select the correct function.
  • Page 11 (C). When connecting the actuating end of the cable to a spool valve such as the Kobelt 4605 servo cylinder, maximum cable life and efficiency is achieved when the cable is aligned with the lever in two planes.

    3.3.1 Mighty Mariner System The 6527-S actuator is equipped with three cable glands with which to make the electrical connections. Use 0.20 inch [5 mm] to 0.47 inch [12 mm] OD cable with 18 AWG conductors for external connections to the engine controller. The cable must be twisted pair and shielded to protect signal integrity.

Ltd. 3.3.1.2 Shaft Brake/Neutral Safety Connection The Shaft Brake/Neutral Safety Output is a set of normally open contacts that close when the Clutch is in the neutral position. Configuring the output for Shaft Brake or Neutral Safety is done using external relays and protection diodes.
  • Page 15 Neutral Safety Switch Bypass: A bypass for the neutral safety switches must be available to start the engines if the control system has failed. Check All Connections: Improper wiring connections may result in damage to the 6527-S Electronic Actuator. Rev A MNL-6527.docx...
  • Page 16 Kobelt Manufacturing Co. Ltd. 3.3.2 6525 System The 6527 basic actuator for use with the 6525 system does not have a circuit board and therefore has a different wiring scheme. Consult the diagram below to connect the actuator correctly: Table 9: 6527 Actuator Terminations...
