Troubleshoo ng the Actus Electric Actuator
The Actus electric actuator and Lodar controller have no serviceable parts inside. Do not disassemble! Please follow the steps be‐
low to troubleshoot your Actus actuator. If any of the tests fail, contact your local dealer/distributor for addi onal troubleshoo ng
informa on or replacement parts.
1. Does the actuator moves freely when unpowered? With the wireless system turned off, the actuator should allow for
smooth manual opera ng of the control valve handle; excessive force is not required.
2. Does the actuator clutch engage? Disconnect the actuator from the Lodar. Connect the green wire (pin 3) to 12VDC and the
white wire (pin 4) to ground. Once both wires are connected the clutch will engage, making the actuator rod output unable to
move freely.
3. Does the actuator rod move in and out? Disconnect the actuator from the Lodar. Connect the green wire (pin 3) to 12VDC
and the white wire (pin 4) to ground. This will engage the clutch. Connect the red wire (pin 1) to 12VDC and the black wire
(pin 2) to ground. The actuator will begin to extend.
* Disconnect the red wire before the actuator reaches the end of the
stroke. Now move the black wire (pin 2) to 12VDC and the red wire (pin 1) to ground. The actuator will begin to retract. Dis‐
connect the red wire before the actuator reaches the end of the stroke.
*WARNING ‐ BECAUSE THE LODAR CONTROLLER IS
BEING BYPASSED, THE ACTUATOR WILL NOT STOP. LETTING THE ACTUATOR OVEREXTEND CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AC‐
TUATOR
4. Does the wireless controller func on? Check your Lodar Wiring Instruc ons for troubleshoo ng informa on.
