Compact Design: Single-channel form factor allows flexible installation in space-constrained control cabinets.
-
Field Calibration: Onboard potentiometers enable straightforward adjustment without external tools.
FAQs
Does it support brushless actuators?
No. It is designed for electromagnetic and ProAct series actuators requiring high-current DC excitation.
What happens if the command signal is lost?
The unit enters a failsafe mode that de-energizes the actuator, allowing it to return to the shutdown position.
Can it be mounted on the engine?
Direct mounting is possible, but vibration-isolated installation is recommended for longevity.
What is the product condition?
This unit is supplied as a 100% brand new original product, with factory packaging and no prior use.
