WIRING SCHEMATICS
MLx984 actuators are designed to operate from a Safety Extra
Low Voltage, Class II power source. A 7/8 in. (22 mm) wiring
hole is provided for attaching a flexible conduit where required
by local codes. When installing outdoors, weatherproof conduit
fittings approved for outdoor and wet locations must be used.
CAUTION
Electrical Shock or Equipment Damage Hazard.
Can Shock Individuals or Short Equipment Circuitry.
Disconnect power supply to the actuator to prevent
electrical shock and equipment damage, or remove
and cap the air line to the actuator.
NOTE: In all cases when wiring multiple actuators, the power
supply to all actuators must be connected in a "star"
fashion to reduce excessive voltage drop. DO NOT
"daisy chain" i.e. connect power to one actuator then
branch to another.

Operation
The recommended valve actuator power source is a Safety
Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) Class II, 24 V transformer or
regulated 28 Vdc across terminals T5 and T6. Internal circuitry
provides dc power for the electronic sensing and drive motor
circuits.

MULTIPLE ACTUATORS CONTROLLED BY A COMMON CONTROLLER IN
PARALLEL MUST BE WIRED SO THAT THEY ALL TRAVEL IN THE SAME
DIRECTION. REVERSE ACTING ACTUATORS WILL NOT OPERATE
RELIABLY IN COMBINATION WITH DIRECT ACTING UNITS DUE TO
GEARBOX TOLERANCES. USE ML7984 MODULATING ACTUATORS, OR
DEDICATED CONTROLLERS, OR SEPARATE CONTROLLER OUTPUTS
FOR EACH GROUP INSTEAD.
