4.1 Fitting
The device is intended for installation in a switchgear cabinet or switch cabinet.
Itisttedonamountingrail.
4.2 Electrical connection
The device must be connected according to the circuit diagram.
The shield of the respective drive must be clamped at "0 V" of the respective
connection at the device.
Only drives without internal power shutdown and with an impulse transmitter
may be used.
4.2.1 Function
By switching on the rated voltage at the device the two drives are driven out or in
synchronously. The drive direction depends on the polarity of the supply voltage.
The two drives have internal non-adjustable stops as end positions.
The end position is switched off by the device, which stops the drives.

14
Assembly
The control system controls the speeds of the drives so that a minimum path
difference arises.
Between the two drives a position difference may occur, which is retained during
synchronisation as the synchronisation is always controlled from the start position.
The synchronisation is controlled depending on the start position with a typical
precision of 0.5 mm. A fault shutdown is registered for a position difference
greater than 1 mm.
4.2.2 Operating modes
CAUTION
Damage to the device
• The operating modes may only be adjusted when the device is in an idle state.
The sliding switches for adjusting the operating modes are located at the top on
the device.
By adjusting the sliding switches on the device a choice can be made between
two operating modes.

4.2.3 Shutdown variants
CAUTION
Damage to the device
• The shutdown variants can only be adjusted when the device is in an idle state.
The DIP switches for adjusting the operating modes are located in the inside of
the device. To actuate the DIP switch carefully unlock the device housing at the
side and remove.

Assembly
The following shutdown variants can be set using the two DIP switches:
Variants
Symbol
Meaning
1
The two drives move synchronously (both DIP switches at "OFF").
When the end position is reached by a drive the second drives
stops immediately (factory setting).
2
The two drives move synchronously (DIP switch 1 at "OFF"
and DIP switch 2 at "ON").
When the end position is reached by a drive the second drive
only stops after 2 seconds or as soon as it reaches its end
position.
3
The two drives move synchronously (DIP switch 1 at "ON" and
DIP switch 2 at "OFF").
When the end position is reached by a drive the second drive only
stops after 1 second or as soon as it reaches its end position.
4
The two drives move synchronously (both DIP switches at
"ON").
When the end position is reached by a drive the second drive
only stops after 2 seconds or as soon as it reaches its end
position.
Variant 2, 3 or 4 makes sense if due to regular stopping the total position diffe-
rence at the end positions is to be adjusted. For a permanent desired position
difference variant 1 must be used.
4.2.4 Commissioning
CAUTION
Damage to the device
• DIP switches and sliding switches must only be actuated when the device is
in an idle state.
The polarity of the supply voltage on the device determines the drive direction
of the drives.

17
Assembly
EN
For commissioning proceed as follows:
1. Connect the two drives to the device according to the circuit diagram.
2. Adjust the shutdown variants on the DIP switches.
3. Adjust the position difference by moving drive 1 if the positioning of the two
drives do not match.
4. Set the sliding switch on the device to "1", M1.
5. Adjust the position of drive 1 by applying the 24 V rated voltage with the
correct polarity to drive 2.
6. For synchronisation set the sliding switch on the device back to "2", M1 +
M2 synchronous.
9The two drives can now be driven synchronously.
4.2.5 Shutdown faults
There are various reasons why the drives shut down:
Overload:
The drive shuts down when a certain power is reached by the overcurrent switch
End position:
The drive shuts down when the end position is reached. The other drive shuts
down immediately or with a delay (depending on the operating mode).
Synchronisation fault:
If the position difference of the two drives exceeds 1 mm the drive shuts down.
Connection fault from sensor or motor:
If the wires from a motor or a sensor have been swapped the two drives
stop shortly after starting up.
Shutdown due to undervoltage:
If the supply voltage falls below 20 V the drives do not run or stop.
