Fig. 11. Sequential operation of motors.
Enhanced Resolution
M7284C1083, M7284C1091, M7284Q1082, 
and M7284Q1090
These four motors have enhanced resolution with 160 
repositions (steps) from 90 degrees to 160 degrees stroke.
Auxiliary Switches
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can shock individuals or short equipment 
circuitry.
Disconnect all power supplies before installation.
Motors with auxiliary switches can have more than one 
disconnect.
Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can damage the motor beyond repair.
Never turn the motor shaft by hand or with a wrench.
Forcibly turning the motor shaft damages the gear train 
and stroke limit contacts.
Adjustable cams actuate the auxiliary switches. These cams 
can be set to actuate the switches at any angle within the 
motor stroke. Select switch differential of 1° or 10°.
Motors with factory added auxiliary switches are shipped in the 
closed position (fully counterclockwise, as viewed from the 
motor power end) with auxiliary cams set to actuate switches 
30° from the closed position and to provide 1° degree 
differential. With the motor in the closed (fully counter-
clockwise) position, the auxiliary switch breaks contacts R-B. 
See Fig. 12 for auxiliary switch wiring.
Series 2 Motors are shipped with auxiliary switch cams that 
permit acceptance of 220736A,B Internal Auxiliary Switch Kits. 
Refer to form 63-2228 for 220736A,B Installation Instructions.
Auxiliary Switch Adjustment
IMPORTANT
When adjusting the auxiliary switch cams use the 
following procedure:
1. Insert 1/8 in. screwdriver blade into a slot on cam and 
move the screwdriver top as far as possible in the 
required direction. See Fig. 12.
2. Repeat step 1 in successive cam slots until the cam is 
in the required position.
NOTE: Series 2 Motors are shipped with auxiliary switch 
cams that permit acceptance of 220736A,B Internal 
Auxiliary Switch Kits. Refer to Form no. 63-2228 for 
220736A,B Installation Instructions.
Use the following procedure to obtain the desired auxiliary 
switch settings:
1. Remove the top cover from the motor to gain access 
to the motor terminals and auxiliary cams.
2. Disconnect the controller from the motor.
3. Connect a current source to the positive and negative 
terminals.
4. Drive the motor to the position where the auxiliary equip-
ment is to be switched by increasing or decreasing the 
current.
5. For a switch differential of 1°, check continuity of auxiliary 
switch contacts R-B and rotate the cam as follows:
a. If the contacts are open, rotate the cam clockwise 
until the R-B contacts close.
b. If the contacts are closed, rotate the cam 
counterclockwise until the R-B contacts open.
6. For a switch differential of 10° rotate the cam 
approximately 180° so the slow-rise portion of the 
cam actuates the switch.
7. Check continuity of the auxiliary switch contacts R-B.
8. Rotate the cam as follows:
a. If the contacts are open, rotate the cam 
counterclockwise until the R-B contacts close.
b. If the contacts are closed, rotate the cam clockwise 
until the R-B contacts open.
c. Make final adjustment in the proper direction to 
obtain contact make or break at the desired position.
9. Check for the proper differential and switching of the 
auxiliary equipment by driving the motor though the full 
stroke in both directions.
10. Disconnect power, remove current source, reconnect the 
controller, and replace the top cover on the motor.
NOTE: Changing the differential from 1° to 10° reverses the 
switching action. For example, with a 10° differential, 
switch contacts R-B make and R-W break on a 
counterclockwise (closed) rotation. With a 1° 
differential, switch contacts R-W make and R-B break 
on a counterclockwise (closed) rotation.
