In general, the linkage should be adjusted so that the fuel control lever minimum 3.4 OHMS

and maximum fuel stops are used rather than the actuator internal mechanical
stops. The actuator should be adjusted so that it operates over at least one half
(12 degrees) of its available travel.

Actuator cable harnesses with lengths greater than 10 ft. (3 meters) from the ac-
tuator to the speed control unit may introduce current losses which can restrict
full rotation of the actuator. In this case, use of a larger gauge wire is required.
For applications where EMI is of concern, twisted, shielded cable for the actu-
ator is recommended. Twisting of the cable alone will substantially reduce EMI.

ed wire size is at least #16 AWG (1.3 mm sq.).

24 VOLT APPLICATIONS
A simple jumper wire between pins B and C at the mating half connector can be
made. The remaining two pins, A and D, can be extended to the required length.
Maximum current is 4 Amps. The recommended wire size is at least #18 AWG
(1.0 mm sq.). See Diagram 4.

the actuator to operate through at least one half (12 degrees) of its stroke will
usually provide near optimum response.
