AUTO: 

The AUTO function is the normal mode of operation for the DHC-400; all the other functions are 
used to set up the unit. While in AUTO, the unit can be controlled by various external signals, some 
of  which  can  be  selected  by  the  COMMAND  INPUT function. When  the  unit  is  not  in  the  AUTO 
mode, all external control signals described below will be disabled. 

Once the open and closed positions have been set, the AUTO mode will control the position of the 
actuator according to the command input signal. For an input signal of 0V (for 0-5V or 0-10V input), 
1V (for 1-5V input), 2V (for 2-10V input), 4.0 mA (for 4-20mA input), or 0% (for a digital input), the 
DHC-400 will position the actuator to the closed position as set by the user. Conversely, an input of 
5V, 10V, 20mA, or 100% will position the actuator to the defined open position. 

When  the  DHC-400  is  configured  to  use  a  0-5V,  0-10V,  1-5V,  2-10V,  or  4-20mA  command,  the 
command  signal  should  be  connected  to  the  appropriate  pins  on  J2.  When  the  DHC-400  is 
configured  for  a  Digital  command  type,  an  appropriate  communications  option  module  must  be 
installed. A communications module may be installed when using one of the analog command types 
and can be used to override the analog command. The AUTO indicator will flash whenever the unit 
is being controlled by the communications module. 

MANUAL/FB POT CAL: 

The MANUAL/FB POT CAL function allows manual operation of the actuator by using the adjust 
buttons 

(▲ and ▼) without affecting any other settings within the DHC-400. When the ▲ button is 

pressed, the MOTOR 1 (J1-4) output is connected to BAT POS (J2-1), and the MOTOR 2 (J1-5) 
output  is  connected  to  BAT  NEG  (J2-

2).  The  ▼  button  connects  MOTOR  1  to  BAT  NEG  and 

MOTOR 2 to BAT POS. Whether the actuator moves toward the open or closed position depends 
on which motor wire is connected to J1-4 and J1-5. 

The  POT  CAL  feature  provides  an  indication  of  the  feedback  potentiometer's  setting.  When  the 
MANUAL/POT CAL function is selected, the Manual/Pot Cal indicator will turn on - it may flash or 
be  on  steady,  depending  on  the  actuator  position.  The  indicator  will  be  on  steady  whenever  the 
DHC-400  detects  that  the  feedback  potentiometer  is  at  midrange  of  its  rotation.  As  the  actuator 
moves, causing the feedback potentiometer to move away from midrange, the indicator will begin 
to flash, and the indicator will flash at a decreasingly slower rate as the actuator moves further away 
from midrange. 

By using the adjust buttons to position the actuator to mid-stroke (half way point between the desired 
open and closed positions), the feedback potentiometer can then be adjusted until a steady light 
occurs. This insures that the feedback potentiometer has maximum range to reach the open and 
closed positions. 

CLOSE: 

The  CLOSE function  is  used to  set  the desired  closed  position;  however,  prior  to doing  this,  the 
feedback potentiometer should be checked for optimum position (see MANUAL/POT CAL), and the 
limit switches should be set outside of the operating range (see LIMIT SWITCHES). In the CLOSE
