OPERATION
All models are equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous
motor, which makes stroke time independent from load, and
increases reliability, avoiding the use of mechanical brake. The

MDL actuators can be installed in any position.
Each actuator is available in three basic model types: The rotation directions are defined as “clockwise” or “coun-
terclockwise”, in respect with the position indicator side.
− Floating (3p)
− Proportional potentiometric (pot.)
− Proportional voltage or current, with fixed ranges (prop.)
MANUFACTURING CHARACTERISTICS

The reduction gear has output shaft supported by self-lubricating
bushings. The electronic card is fitted on top, it can be reached
by removing the cover, also providing an easy access to the
terminals for wiring connections.

(1) For the MDL3. model, connect the central of the controller’s potentiometer (165 ohm) to Y terminal, a side connector to M
terminal and the other to the V+ terminal.
(2) With jumper SW3 in A position, looking at the actuator from the power side, for increasing control signal, the shaft moves
clockwise.
(3) Connect the eventual indicator with current input to terminals S3 (or S2) and S1 (max 200 uA).
Connect the eventual indicator with voltage input to terminal S3 (or S2) and M (max 2 mA).
The value of voltage (current) on extreme left corresponds to shaft in position 0°.
(4) The MDL2./4./6. actuator is supplied with L1 and L2 jumpered.
The power supply to the actuator is given by the controller through the control signal (between N-Y1 for clockwise rotation or
N-Y2 for counter-clockwise rotation).
Manual control: available only on MDL4 actuator. To enable such control, remove the jumper between L1 and L2 and con-
nect them to power supply. In this case the controller signal must come from potential-free contacts (dry contacts) connected
between N-Y1 or N-Y2.
(5) Internally connected.
