Actuator Cable Specication
Note 1: Calculations based on:
4.0 Amps max actuator current and;
4.0 Volts drop across max cable length ( 2 wires)
Note 1: Note 2: Maximum terminal capacity is 1.5mm, which limits 16AWG cable to35m.
Note 3: For long cable runs, use 16 AWG to local junction box, then extend using 10-14 AWG.
Note 4: Also required: 3-wire cable for feedback potentiometer, 0.5mm - 1.0mm.
