Design and principle of operation
Inductive limit contacts
Optionally, the actuator can be equipped
with a maximum of two inductive contacts.
They are no-wear NC contacts, which are
usedtoinuencethetasksofcontrolequip-

cuit for the operation of inductive limit con-
tacts.
The inductive limit contacts are not suitable
forretrotting.
Resistance transmitters
The actuator version three-step control can
optionally be equipped with one or two po-
tentiometers. They are linked to the gear of
the actuator. They consist of one potentiome-
ter, which produces a resistance signal be-
tweenapprox.0and1000Ω(usablerange
0to900Ω)proportionaltothetravel.Itcan
be used to assess the position of the actuator
stem. The resistance transmitters are suitable
forretrotting.Theinstallationandadjust-
ment of the mechanical limit contacts is de-
scribed in the 'Installation' section.
