    Thomson Installation 4.4 Mechanical installation 4.4.1 General installation safety notes • Never work on the actuator with the power switched on! • Do not hold the extension tube while the unit is energized. • Failure modes of the actuator should be considered to ensure it does not create harm. 4.4.2 Basic installation considerations 1.
  • Page 9 Installation Thomson 4.4.3 Mounting orientation and forces 1. The actuator can be mounted in any orientation and handle both pushing and pulling loads. 2. Always install actuator so that the force of the load acts in the center of the extension tube and the rear adapter.
  • Page 10 Thomson Installation 4.4.5 Hand wind mounting and operation 1. Make sure when mounting the actuator that there is space enough between the rear adapter and any object behind it to allow the hand wind to be operated! 2. To be able to operate the hand wind, remove the cover plug placed over the hand wind input (a). 3.

Safety functions Feature Functions Reset Speed monitoring The unit keeps the speed constant. Current monitoring Shuts down the actuator on overload. Non bus units: if units stops when extending, reset is done by activating the retract input and vice versa.
  • Page 15 Installation Thomson 4.6.4 Control option LEX To eleminate the risk of the actuator making unplanned moves, for example during emergency stop or when making maintenance work, always turn power off and deactivate control signals. Power the actuator by connecting lead 2 (black) to + Vdc and lead 1 (red) to - Vdc in the power cable. If using a brake resistor it should be connetc between leads 2 (black) and 3 (brown) in the power cable.
