（Example 3）
Multiple actuators can be placed close to each other as shown in the figure below, as long as
magnets are not close to the motor section.
Caution
① Supply power when the actuator is stationary.
The electric actuator acquires the absolute position data from the absolute encoder when power is
applied.
Therefore, if the power is applied to the electric actuator when the actuator is moving with an
external force, the controller fails to acquire the absolute position data, which generates an alarm.
