Wiring 
All wiring must conform to NEC and local codes and 
regulations. 
Use earth ground isolating, step-down Class 2 
transformers. Do not use auto transformers. 
Determine the supply transformer rating by adding 
the total VA of all actuators used. The maximum 
rating for Class 2 step-down transformer is 100 VA. It 
is recommended that no more than 10 actuators be 
powered by one transformer. 
SQD65U 
To use a 0 to 1000 ohm input signal on terminal R, 
the circuit board jumper R—M must be cut. 
CAUTION: 
If the circuit board jumper R–M is cut, you 
cannot wire the R and M terminals on the 
terminal block to re-establish the 
connection. 
The 0 to 1000 ohm signal is additive to the 0 to 10 
Vdc control signal. For example, a controller 
commanded to 2 Vdc (20%) plus a remote override 
input to 300 ohms (30%) results in a position of 50% 
stroke.

WARNING:  
Terminal connection G is 24 Vac HOT, not 
ground. 
CAUTIONS: 
•  G0 and G must be properly wired for 
correct function and full life of the 
actuator. 
•  If the actuator makes a buzzing noise 
upon reaching setpoint, G and G0 are 
improperly wired and should be 
reversed.
