Page 7: 3- Positioning The Components
3- Positioning the components The D-BOX 4250i/4400i actuators have been designed to be installed into armrest of qualified home theater seating. Each Actuator must be inserted into the armrest hole especially made for that purpose. The ACM unit can be installed either on the back wood panel or into the armrest depending on mounting clearance. -

There is high voltage inside the ACM unit, and only service qualified technician are allowed to do the connections. - Page 11 Making connections into the ACM unit D. After both actuator’s metal doors have been properly secured to the housing, connect the motor and the encoder connector of both actuators (as shown in drawing below). You should hear a click when the connector is fully inserted. Finally, assemble and secure the access cover, there is one (1) screw on each side and two (2) screws on the rear.

Questions and answers
Hello, I purchased 4 gen 5 4250 actuators from a company called Trak Racer. Each actuator has a diagram showing the position they should be installed however, none of the diagrams I have show a mark indicating where they should be properly placed. Does it matter or am I in trouble. Without a mark on any of the diagrams I have no idea where to install them. I am using them for a race simulation cockpit so I need to place them front left/right and back left/right. Lastly, I noticed each actuator has a voltage switch (120v and 230v). I live in the US so I need them on 120v however, I'm not sure which way the switch should be flipped to choose the correct voltage. Can you send me an image or explanation so I know that I have the voltage switch on the correct (120v) setting. Thanks for your time.
To install the D-Box 4250i actuators in a race simulation cockpit:
1. Position the Actuators: Place the four actuators in their designated positions:
- Front Right: Port A (D)
- Front Left: Port B (G)
- Rear Left: Port C (J)
- Rear Right: Port D (M)
2. Mounting:
- Attach the actuators to the rig using mounting brackets.
- Secure them with screws to ensure stability.
- Ensure the actuators are aligned correctly for proper motion feedback.
3. Connection:
- Connect the actuators to the Actuator Control Module (ACM) using Cat 5 cables.
- Ensure each actuator is plugged into its corresponding port.
4. Configuration:
- In the software, select four actuators and enable roll, pitch, and heave.
- Apply the configuration and wait for the system to load.
To set the voltage switch to 120V:
- Locate the voltage selector at the bottom of the control electronics.
- Switch it to 120V if using in regions with 120V power supply (e.g., North America).
