Refer to the wiring diagram furnished with your Beck actuator for proper AC power and signal Shielded, twisted pair cables can be used for connections. The customer must supply 120 V ac to signal connections to avoid being affected by power the actuator (standard configuration).
80-1100-00, Rev. 03.2 INSTALLATION Wiring The terminal block is located in a separate, gasketed compartment at the top of the actuator. Line voltage connections are made on terminal designations A through V and are oriented at a right angle from the low voltage signaling terminals designated AA through EE.
