30V or less. Note, earlier versions of the DHC-400 may not have this feature. Contact Indelac, Inc. 
for more information. 

WARNING! Exposing the DHC-400 to frequent or continuous voltages above 30V can damage the 
unit. The user should take steps to suppress or eliminate possible supply voltage conditions above 
30V. 

Motor 1 No Motion

 - A no motion fault is detected when no actuator motion is detected while the 

Motor 1 output is turned on and drawing less than 0.5A of motor current. The fault can be cleared 
in the same manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Stall. A stall usually indicates a heavy 
mechanical load or stall, while a no motion fault usually indicates a broken motor wire or disengaged 
feedback pot. Note that a stall cannot be detected in applications using very small motors (locked 
rotor currents less than 0.5A); only a no motion fault can be detected. 

Motor 2 No Motion

 - A no motion fault is detected when no actuator motion is detected while the 

Motor 2 output is turned on and drawing less than 0.5A of motor current. The fault can be cleared 
in the same manner as previously described for a Motor 1 Stall. A no motion fault differs from a stall 
as previously describe for a Motor 1 No Motion fault. 

Double No Motion

 - If the DHC-400 detects a no motion 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. 

Feedback Alarm

 - A fault condition is detected whenever the feedback signal is out of range (that 

is, less than 5% of the potentiometer value or more than 95% of the potentiometer value), or when 
any  of  the  potentiometer  connections  are  broken.  Normal  operation  resumes  when  the 
potentiometer is reconnected or back in range. 

Loss of Command

 - If the command signal is disconnected, the fault indication will remain on until 

the signal is reconnected. See LOSS OF COMMAND for details.  

Command Out of Range

 - If the command signal goes out of range, the fault indication will remain 

on until the signal is back in range. See LOSS OF COMMAND for details. 

LIMIT SWITCHES: 

The actuator's limit switches should be connected to J1 as described in ACTUATOR (J1) - also see 
OUTLINE and BLOCK DIAGRAM. The limit switches must be closed throughout the operating range 
from closed to open. When Limit Switch 1 opens, Motor 1 operations are disabled. Likewise, when 
Limit Switch 2 opens, Motor 2 operations are disabled. 

Note that the actuator's limit switches should be set outside of the operating range set by the CLOSE 
and  OPEN  functions.  Limit  switches  exhibit  wide  variations,  and  the  DHC-400  can  position  the 
actuator more precisely at closed and open than the limit switches. A limit switch better serves as a 
fail-safe device. 

After  setting  the  open  and  closed  positions,  the  DHC-400  automatically  determines  which  limit 
switch is associated with open and closed. When a limit switch is reached, the appropriate indicator
