START UP AND OPERATION

7.1

Overview

Once all electrical connections have been made, your ECA is ready for Start-up. The
following sections detail the procedures required to complete the ECA start up.

WARNING: The ECA NEMA 4X Stroke controller includes a manual stroke control
wheel. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MANUAL STROKE CONTROL WHEEL WHILE THE
POWER TO THE STROKE CONTROLLER IS OFF. This will cause the electronics to
error. The ECA will stop operation and will need to be reset to look for the motor zero
position!

-

WARNING: DO NOT attempt to remove the cover of the ECA and set up the ECA

in a very wet or rainy environment. While care has been taken to insulate power
connections, DANGEROUS voltages are present and can cause electric shock, and

possible electrocution if safety procedures are not followed

8.1 System User Calibration

8.1.1 Analog Input Signal Calibration

The analog input signal should be user calibrated to each system. To perform a
calibration, the signal-generating device (e.g., PLC) must be powered up, wired to
the ECA and capable of altering its output from the minimum to the maximum
