Low Battery Voltage

 - When the DHC-400 detects that the battery/power supply voltage connected 

to BAT POS (J2-1) and BAT NEG (J2-2) drops below 10V, the motor outputs are turned off and the 
DHC-400 suspends all other operations until the voltage returns to 10V or more. However, the Low 
Battery Voltage fault indication will maintain for 3 seconds after voltage returns. Since DC motors 
present a large load (from in-rush currents) when turned on, a weak battery or insufficient power 
supply may experience a short voltage drop below 10V until the motor begins to move. Therefore, 
the  Low  Battery  Voltage  indication  provides  warning  of  batteries  in  need  of  recharge  or  power 
supplies that have insufficient current for the application. 

Motor 1 Stall

 - A stall condition is detected when no actuator motion is detected while the Motor 1 

output is turned on and drawing more than 0.5A of motor current. The fault condition will disable the 
Motor 1 output only, and the fault is cleared when the DHC-400 detects a motion greater than 1.5° 
in either direction. The fault can be cleared if 1) the command signal commands a Motor 2 operation, 
2) manual operation with the adjust buttons results in a motion greater than 1.5°, or 3) a mechanical 
manual  override  forces  the  1.5°  motion,  provided  the  mechanical  motion  is  monitored  by  the 
feedback pot.  

Motor 2 Stall

 - A stall is detected when no actuator motion is detected while the Motor 2 output is 

turned  on  and  drawing  more  than  0.5A  of  motor  current.  The  fault  can  be  cleared  in  the  same 
manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Stall.  

Double Stall

 - If the DHC-400 detects a stall condition in both directions, both motor outputs will be 

disabled. The command signal cannot clear this condition; only manual operation or a mechanical 
override  can  clear  the  fault.  Alternatively,  the  DHC-400  can  be  powered  off  and  then  on  to 
temporarily clear the fault; however, this practice should be avoided without permanently correcting 
the cause of such a fault. 

Motor 1 Current Trip

 - A current trip fault is detected when the motor current exceeds the current 

trip setting (see TRIP SETTING) while the Motor 1 output is turned on. The fault can be cleared in 
the  same  manner  as  previously  described  for  a  Motor  1  Stall.  NOTE:  Successive  attempts  with 
manual operation using the adjust buttons can exceed the torque limit set by the Trip Setting. 

Motor 2 Current Trip

 - A current trip fault is detected when the motor current exceeds the current 

trip setting (see TRIP SETTING) while the Motor 2 output is turned on. The fault can be cleared in 
the same manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Current Trip. 

Double  Current  Trip

  -  If  the  DHC-400  detects  a  current  trip  fault  in  both  directions,  both  motor 

outputs will be disabled. The fault can be cleared in the same manner as previously described for a 
Double Stall. 

Battery  Over  Voltage

  -  Other  inductive  loads  (such  as  motors  or  solenoids)  sharing  the 

battery/power  supply  connected  to  BAT  POS  (J2-1)  and  BAT  NEG  (J2-2)  can  generate  short 
transient  voltages  that  may  cause  the  supply  voltage  to  exceed  30V.  To  prevent  damage  to  the 
DHC-400  or  the  actuator  motor,  the  motor  outputs  are  turned  off  whenever  the  supply  voltage 
exceeds 30V. Upon detecting a voltage above 30V, the Battery Over Voltage fault indication will 
turn on and will maintain for 3 seconds after voltage returns. If an over voltage condition lasts less 
than 1 second, the Fault relay output will not turn off. If the Fault relay output turns off (indicating an 
over voltage lasting longer than 1 second), the output will turn back on when the voltage returns to
