STEP 4 Connecting the Actuator (s)

Connect actuator cable to the “MASTER” connector on the

If a 1650 Dual Operator is being installed and conduit is

 

being used under the drive (recommended), cut the slave

 

(opposite side where control box is mounted) actuator cable

 

about 12” from the white connector. Run the remaining

 

cable across the drive through conduit and up through the

 

control box. Cutoff any excess cable and splice the short

 

piece back to the cable.* Connect to the “SLAVE” connector

*Instead of cutting the slave cable, remove the pins on the plug with a jeweler's common blade screwdriver or appropriate tool (the staples on the actuator shipping carton work great) ,run the cable through the conduit and reinsert the pins into the plug.
