Linear Motion Series · Position Indicator
The Firgelli Technologies’ Position Indicator provides remote visual feedback for all
of our feedback type actuators. This is a simple way to add a visual display to your
actuator system without modification of your design, or the addition of a custom
controller or software.
Simply connect power, ground, and the feedback line to the Position Indicator and
the indicator will begin to operate. This indicator is compatible with all –I and –P
actuators, as well as the –P/LAC combination.
The LED bar graph lights proportionally to the actuators position. At full
retraction, no LED’s are lit, and at full extension all of the LED’s are lit. A trim
potentiometer makes this display compatible with a wide range of feedback
voltages. For power sensitive applications, remove the jumper and only a single
LED will be used to indicate position.
Position Indicator Specifications

Operation:
Calibrate the indicator by first positioning the actuator for maximum feedback
signal(For –P this is extended, for –I this is retracted). Adjust the potentiometer so
that all 10 LED’s are lit.
Remove the jumper for 1 LED operation, or leave the jumper connected for 10 LED
operation. For the lowest power usage, install a switch between the red wire and the
power supply.
Note: Most applications require removal of the connector and baring of the wires.

Note: Reversing the polarity of pins 2 and 3 may permanently damage the
Indicator.
