4.4 Mechanical installation
4.4.1 General installation safety notes
• Never work on the actuator with the power switched on.
• Do not hold the extension tube while the unit is energized.
• Failure modes of the actuator should be considered to ensure it does not create harm.
4.4.2 Basic installation considerations
1. Only mount the actuator using the holes in the rear and front adapters. Check the model number on
the actuator product label (section 4.1) and then look at the ordering key (section 8.3) to nd out your
adapter type conguration. See the dimensions table and drawing (section 4.4.3) to nd out the exact
actuator and adapter dimensions.
2. Make sure that the actuator mounting position allows access to the power terminals cover plate and
the control signal connector (section 4.4.5).
3. The power wires enter the rear housing through the power supply wire inlets while the control signals
are connected by a cable to the actuator by using the control signal connector.
4. If the actuator is equipped with the optional manual brake release and override input, the lever and
the input used to operate these must have enough free space around them to allow access (section
4.4.6).
5. Do not remove the grooved heat sink on top of the actuator.

4.4.4 Mounting orientation and forces
1. The actuator can be mounted in any orientation and handle both pushing and pulling loads.
2. Always install actuator so that the force of the load acts in the center of the extension tube and the
rear adapter.
3. Only mount the actuator to the rear and front adapter mounting holes.
4. Only use solid mounting pins and support them at both ends.
5. The mounting pins must be parallel to each other both radially and axially.
4.4.5 Electrical connections
The actuator is connected to the power supply by two wires to the power terminal studs situated under the
power terminal cover plate (a), while the control signals are connected to the control signal connector (b)
(section 4.5.3).

4.4.6 General manual brake release and manual override notes - optional features
Make sure when mounting the actuator that there is space enough between the front of the motor and
any object to allow both the manual brake (a) release and the override (b) controls to be operated. See
drawing below for their positions and dimensions.
• Always make sure to switch o󰀨 the power to the actuator before using the manual brake
release or manual override.
• Never use the manual brake release and the manual override at the same time.
• Carefully read all operation instructions before using the manual brake release or manual
override (section 4.4.7 and/or 4.4.8).
4.4.7 Manual brake release operation - optional feature
The manual brake release allows the holding brake to be manually disengaged from the extension tube
so that it can be moved by gravitional force or by pushing or pulling it.
1. The manual release lever (a) can be pulled to open the holding brake and allow the extension tube to
be disconnected from the holding brake.
2. If there is a helping load acting on the load/extension tube, it might start to move (backdrive) directly
upon release in the direction of the helping load. Only the friction from internal components and the
assembly will hinder the extension tube/load to backdrive.
3. The force to release the brake is 67 N (15 lbs), with a stroke of 10 mm (0.4 inch). Lower forces will
open the brake partially and allow slower, more controlled movement. The lever has an inside threaded
hole (10-32“) that can be used to attach a cable/linkage for controlling it remotely.
4. The two M5 mounting holes (b) can be used to install a customer provided bracket in case a cable/
linkage assembly is used for remote operation of the lever.
• In the case of a helping load, the operator must ensure releasing the actuator will not create a
hazardous situation due to backdriving.
• The backdriving speed of the actuator may be higher than the rated speed of the actuator.
• To limit the maximum speed of the actuator with a helping load, the actuator must be coupled to
a power source capable of current regeneration (i.e. batteries or a bidirectional power supply).
In the case of an actuator release at full load, the regeneration current will vary depending on
the battery size or the regeneration capacity of the power supply.
• Make sure to let the lever fully return to its innermost position before resuming operation.

Thomson
Thomson Electrak®XD Actuator - Installation Manual - 2023-0512
4.4.8 Manual override operation - optional feature
The manual override allows the extension tube to be moved at power o󰀨 by manually cranking it in the
desired direction using the manual override input.
1. To operate the manual override, remove the cover plug (a) using a 8 mm hex bit. Then turn on the
manual override input hexagon (b) using an 8 mm hex bit (c).
2. To extend the actuator, the override hub must be rotated clockwise (c).
3. The maximum torque required to move the extension tube at the fully rated actuator load using the
manual override is typically 6 Nm (51 in-lbs).
4. The distance the extension tube travels per manual override input revolution depends on the
actuator type. See the table below.
• Do not apply higher torque than 9 Nm (80 in-lbs) to the manual override input.
• In case that torque is exceeded, a mechanical fuse will break and render the manual
override inoperable to protect the actuator. The fuse can only be replaced at the factory.
• Never run the extension tube into the end of stroke as that may damage the actuator.
• If a power tool is used to operate the manual override, its speed should not exceed 500 rpm,
and it should start and stop smoothly.
• The override has a maximum run time of 1 minute and requires a 5 minute cool-down
between events.
4.4.9 Shock load dampener - optional feature
The shock load dampener will absorb shock loads subjected to the actuator along the extension tube
axis. When doing so the actuator adapters will move up to ± 3 mm (0.12 in) from their original position as
the dampening elements in the dampener (a) compress or extends, which the mounting assembly must
allow for.
• Do not attempt to open, no serviceable parts inside.

4.5 Electrical installation
4.5.1 General notes
• Make sure the leads/cables leading to the motor can handle the maximum motor current.
• An emergency stop is recommended to reduce the chance of a crushing hazard.
• Never work on the actuator or the wiring with the power switched on.
4.5.2 Fuse
Use a slow blow fuse on the supply voltage input wiring to protect the actuator and the wiring. Size it in
accordance with local regulations and the current draw for the application in question.
4.5.3 Electrical connections
The actuator needs to be connected to a power supply and to the control system as described below.
Connection of power supply
The power leads are brought in to the actuator using the power wire inlets and are connected using the
M6 sized ring terminal studs accessed by removing the power terminal cover plate. The power terminal
cover plate is held in place by two screws (2 × M3 × 8, T10 Torx). The length of the ring clips may not be
longer than 34.5 mm (Amax). Never run the actuator with the cover plate removed.
Connection of control signals
The control signals are connected to the signal connector using a mating connector and are secured to
each other with a ring screw. Make sure to tighten the ring screw properly to ensure proper function and
sealing. Exactly how to connect the control signals depends on which type of control your actuator is
equipped with and how you choose to use it (section 4.6.12 to 4.6.17).
Mating connector data
Amphenol Ecomate connector with normal backshell: RTS6BS12N10P03, 12 pin
Amphenol Ecomate connector with short backshell: RTS6BS14N12PHEC03, 12 pin
Amphenol Ecomate pin terminal: SP24M2F which is for 24 -2 6 AWG / 0.14 - 0.25 mm2leads (part
number depends on the wire gauge / cross section of the leads being used).
4.5.4 Power supply lead cross section
To avoid malfunction due to voltage drop, the cross section of the leads between the actuator power
terminals and the power source must be of su󰀩cient size in order to prevent the supply voltage to drop to
levels below the supply voltage limit of the actuator. Calculations to determine the necessary cross section
should take local regulations, application specics and the actuator supply voltage limits into account.
Power terminals Signal connector

Thomson
Thomson Electrak®XD Actuator - Installation Manual - 2023-0514
4.5.5 Power supply requirements
The power supply used to power the actuator must fulll the following requirements.
1. The power supply must be sized so that it can handle both the average power over the duty cycle, as
well as the peak current and the inrush current (section 4.5.6).
2. The power supply must be able to handle the energy that the motor regenerates.
3. At low temperatures down to -40 °C (- 40 °F), the power required can be up to two times higher than
normal.
When the motor decelerates, brakes or is being rotated when using the manual brake release, it
will work as a generator and send energy back to the battery/power supply. The battery/power
supply and the rest of the system must be able to handle this regenerated energy.
4.5.6 Inrush current
At the start of the actuator, there is an inrush current to the motor that will last between 75 to 150
milliseconds that can be up to 3 × rated current for the actuator model and load in question.
If using an AC-powered power supply, it must be sized to handle the inrush current (batteries
typically have no problem delivering the inrush current). Also contacts, switches and relays must
be sized appropriately to be able to handle the inrush current.

Thomson Electrak®XD Actuator - Installation Manual - 2023-05 15
4.6.1 General notes
• Avoid placing signal cables along power cables to reduce the risk of interference.
• Avoid using a vehicle earth as the return conductor. Instead use a two wire system to reduce
the risk of interference.
• In very sensitive applications or where there is a risk of interference we recommend using
shielded signal cables.
• Keep in mind that long cables in combination with small lead cross sections and low voltages
may lead to undervoltage and malfunction due to voltage drop.
• Relays or other coil operated devices should have spark protection to avoid interference.
• Never work on the actuator or the wiring with the power switched on!
4.6.2 Speed control by adjusting the input voltage
Electrak XD cannot be speed controlled by adjusting the input voltage. When using battery
or full wave rectied direct currents that are within the acceptable voltage limits, the built-in
Electronic Monitoring Package will keep the actuator at the correct speed. Outside of the
limits, the actuator will be stopped (also see section 4.6.3). When attempting to use Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM) to speed control the actuator, the internal PCB will be permanently damaged
and cause malfunction.
4.6.3 Electrak Monitoring Package
All controls are equipped with the Electrak Monitoring Package which includes the following features and
functions.
4.6 Control options installation and operation

actuator has, check the model number on the product label on the actuator (section 4.1) and then check
the ordering key (section 8.3). Use the table below and go to the corresponding sections for further
information.
4.6.5 Extend and retract inputs
The extend and retract inputs let you control the direction of the extension tube motion using low-level
voltage signals to switch the motor. If both signals are inactive or active at the same time, the actuator
will remain still or stop. For wiring, see the wiring diagram for your control option (also see section 4.6.3).
Low-level signal motor switching data
Extend / retract input voltage [Vdc] 9 - 64
Extend / retract input current [mA] 0.35 - 2.75

4.6.6 Speed control input (not applicable for units with option CNO/COO)
If the speed control input is not used when the extend and retract inputs are active, the actuator will
move at its full speed as long as the max. load is not exceeded. If a 0 - 5 Vdc signal is connected to
the speed control input, the speed of the actuator can be regulated between 20 - 100% of its full speed
where 0 - 0.5 V corresponds to full speed and 1 - 5 V corresponds to 20% of full speed up to full speed.
For wiring, see the wiring diagram for your control option (also see section 4.6.3).
4.6.7 Force feedback function (not applicable for units with option CNO/COO)
In order to use the force feedback output, the actuator must be equipped with an integral force feedback
sensor (rear adapter type K). The force output is a 0 - 5 Vdc signal where 2.5 V is zero force, 0.5 V is 25
kN compression force and 4.5 V is 25 kN tension force. Between 0.5 - 4.5 V, the output changes 1 mV
per 12.5 N in change of force. For wiring, see the wiring diagram for your control option (also see section
4.6.3).

4.6.8 Force feedback function for options CNO/COO
In order to use the force feedback function, the actuator must be equipped with an integral force
feedback sensor (rear adapter type K). The force is then sent over the bus according to the message
structure for the type of bus being used. For SAE J1939 CAN bus (option CNO), see section 5 and for
CANopen® (option COO), see section 6. For wiring, see the wiring diagram in section 4.6.17.
4.6.9 End-of-stroke indication outputs (not applicable for units with option CNO/COO)
When the extension tube is in its fully extended or retracted position. a contact closes to indicate this
position. There is one contact for fully extended and one for fully retracted. For wiring, see the wiring
diagram for your control option (also see section 4.6.3).
4.6.10 Position feedback output (not applicable for units with option CNO/COO)
The position feedback output indicates the position of the extension tube by changing its voltage
between 0.5 - 4.5 Vdc. The resolution of the signal depends on the ordering stroke of the actuator. For
wiring, see the wiring diagram for your control option (also see section 4.6.3).
4.6.11 Progammable end-of-stroke software limits (not applicable for units with option CNO/COO)
This function allows you to program the actuator to stop extending and retracting at any position
along the stroke of the extension tube. The programming is done by driving the extension tube to the
desired positions and program them using the programming input on pin E and common on pin D in the
connector as in the steps described below. For wiring, see the wiring diagram for your control option
(also see section 4.6.3).
Programming of the software limit positions:
1. Drive the extension tube to the position you want the extension tube to stop at using the extend and
retract inputs (also see section 4.6.16).
2. Power o󰀨 the unit.
3. Connect the set limits input (pin E) to common (pin D).
4. Activate the extend or retract input depending on which direction you want the motion to stop the
unit. Activating both inputs will clear any programmed software limit switches.
5. Power on the unit to complete the programming.
