Appendix 4 / Inhibit Input 
The INHIBIT input allows the actuator to be turned off (inhibited) by a customer-supplied control 
signal. 
There are four customer-selectable INHIBIT operating modes. These modes are controlled by 
parameter 19. Refer to page 17 for more information about setting controller parameters. 
The INHIBIT input requires an isolated contact closure. To activate or deactivate the INHIBIT 
input, close (short) or open the connection between J7 terminals 8 and 9 (refer to the diagram 
below). 
Note: The INHIBIT input will override all Discrete Isolated inputs. To allow the Discrete Isolated 
inputs to operate properly, the INHIBIT input must be inactive. 
Note: The INHIBIT input is not opto-isolated. If your application requires an opto-isolated 
INHIBIT input, then set parameter 72 to 1. Refer to page 17 for more information about setting 
controller parameters. 
Electrical Specifications: 
Non-isolated contact-closure input 
Description  This input must be connected to an 
isolated contact or a sink-connected 
(NPN) opto-coupled transistor output. 
It must not be connected to anything 
else. 
Connector J7 
Terminals  8 – Signal input (connect to collector 
of customer-supplied opto-coupler) 
9 – Signal GND (connect to emitter of 
customer-supplied opto-coupler) 
Input voltage  Internally pulled to +5 VDC through a 
5 K-ohm resistor 
Input current  1 mA to turn on, 0.27 mA or less to 
turn off 
Isolation  None, provided by customer
