* The actuator comes with prewired capacitor from factory.

** Electrical brake only possible on 115 Vac models.
*** The capacitor is supplied with the actuator but needs to be fitted by the customer externally.
**** Supplied by customer.

For versions without brake or with electrical brake,

connect the red lead to L1 and yellow to L2 to extend the
actuator. Change L1 from red to black lead to retract the
actuator. If the actuator is equipped with an electrical
brake the internal wiring automatically lifts the brake
when the motor is energized. For versions with anti
coast brake, connect the red lead to L1 and yellow to L2
to extend the actuator. Change L1 from red to blue lead
to retract the actuator. Release the anti-coast brake by
connecting black leads to L1 and L2.
