Check the Auxiliary Switch A:
a. Set the DMM dial to ohms (resistance) or continuity check.
b. Connect wires S1 and S3 to the DMM. The DMM should indicate open circuit or no resistance.
c. Apply the input signal as in Step 1d, to wire 8 (gray).
The DMM should indicate contact closure as the actuator shaft coupling reaches the setting of
switch A.
d. Connect wires S1 and S2 to the DMM. The DMM should indicate open circuit or no resistance.
e. Apply the input signal as in Step 1f, to wire 8 (gray).
The DMM should indicate contact closure as the actuator shaft coupling reaches the setting of
switch A.
a. Set the DMM dial to ohms (resistance) or continuity check.
b. Connect wires S4 and S6 to the DMM. The DMM should indicate open circuit or no
resistance.
c. Apply the input signal as in Step 1d, to wire 8 (gray).
The DMM should indicate contact closure as the actuator shaft coupling reaches the
setting of switch B.
d. Connect wires S4 and S5 to the DMM. The DMM should indicate open circuit or no
resistance.
e. Apply the input signal as in Step 1f, to wire 8 (gray).
The DMM should indicate contact closure as the actuator shaft coupling reaches the
setting of switch B.
985-124 is provided with the GCA15x
actuator.
WARNING:
Do not open the actuator. If the actuator is inoperative, replace the unit.
