Basic operation
icon actuators use pulses generated by motor revolutions to control the position and to synchronize more actuators
running in a multiple actuator setup.
All icon actuators are configured and initialized from factory, but it may be required to perform additional initialization
during installation to ensure proper operation. This is done using the “Home” and “Learn” functions in CAS. Home
returns the piston to the fully retracted position and stores this position as “Home” (Position 0). The Learn function
runs a full cycle and determines both fully retracted and fully extracted positions of the piston. Please note that these
positions may be determined by physical limitations in the mechanical design of the application and not by the end
positions of the actuator.
Before performing a "Home" or "Learn" cycle the actuator(s) need to be pinned or installed in both the rear and front
bracket. Otherwise the piston can spin and give an incorrect result.
Click the “Run Learn” under the “Service/Config” tab to perform a learn cycle. If required by the application, “Home”
position can be changed to fully extracted position and, speed during learn can be adjusted. All actuators in a multi-
actuator setup must be “Homed” individually.
If pin 5 and pin 6 are connected to GND simultaneously for more than 10 seconds, Homing/Learning is started.
During this the actuator will travel at a lower speed and it is important that neither of the brackets can rotate freely.
0-point - (Homing) and maximum stroke length (Learning) are saved during this cycle.
Please note: Learn will reset settings for “Range Scale”.
Performing a Learning without having access to the CAS
software can be done by using either the handset or conXion
Box+ by pressing and holding both in and out buttons for 10
seconds.
Depending on the original setting of the “actuator home
position” the end position will either be Retracted or Extracted
after performing the Learning process.
Safe zones can equally be set without having access to the
CAS software by using the handset or conXion Box+.
Setting the safe zone out is done by pressing both buttons for
5 seconds and then pressing out button.
Setting the safe zone in is done by pressing both buttons for 5
seconds and then pressing in button.
