- Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your specific control system or switch for exact connections (Live Up, Live Down, Neutral, Ground).
3.5 Einstellen der Grenzen
Limit settings define the upper and lower stopping points of your application. This motor uses mechanical limit switches, typically adjusted with a specialized tool (often a small hex key or screwdriver) inserted into the holes on the motor head.
- Einschalten: Schalten Sie den Motor ein.
- Identify Adjustment Screws: Locate the two adjustment screws on the motor head. One controls the upper limit, the other the lower limit. Consult your application's specific instructions to identify which screw corresponds to which limit.
- Obergrenze einstellen:
- Run the application upwards until it reaches the desired upper stopping point.
- Insert the adjustment tool into the corresponding screw and turn it slowly. Turning in one direction will extend the travel, the other will retract it. Adjust until the motor stops precisely at the desired upper position.
- Untergrenze einstellen:
- Run the application downwards until it reaches the desired lower stopping point.
- Insert the adjustment tool into the corresponding screw and adjust until the motor stops precisely at the desired lower position.
- Test Limits: Cycle the application up and down several times to ensure the limits are set correctly and consistently.
