Really, how?

A remote control facilitates the management of your application significantly. You don’t need to go here and there to activate or turn off the actuator system. You just push a button, and the system starts or stops moving, etc.Thus, using an actuator <a href="https://www.progressiveautomations.com/collections/linear-actuators" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">for your project</a> is a guarantee that you will enjoy the result. Let us check then how to set a remote control for a linear actuator. In our case, it is a 12v actuator because this actuator type is the most frequently used for projects at home or in an office. When you buy an actuator, it comes with all the needed accessories. However, let us check once more what you need to handle everything properly:·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Two actuators;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A DC receiver;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A wireless remote;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A wiring harness.Now, you can move on with the remote setup.<h2>Step-by-Step Instructions on Remote Setup</h2>Further, follow the steps.Connect the harness to the receiver. The harness is equipped with 6 wires. There, you can see a yellow and a white wire. Connect them together. Further, find a green and a blue wire. Proceed with them in the same way. If you are going to use a control box (in most cases, it is needed for specific projects), connect your white and yellow wires to a black wire of the actuator. Now, take the green and blue wire, they are already connected. Connect them with a red wire of the actuator. Now, you are left with two wires. Those are a red and a black wire. These, you will connect with your DC power source. The red wire shall be connected with the other red wire. And the black wire shall be connected with the white wire on the adapter.Now, when all the wires are connected, take out your wireless remote. Test it. Push the button with an arrow indicating up. The actuator will extend. Push the button once more to stop the actuator. If you want the actuator to move down, push the button with an arrow down. Push the button once more, and the actuator will stop.<h2>Details to Pay Attention to</h2>If all the components come in a set, there is nothing to check. Just follow the instructions to connect them to a system.However, if you choose the components on your own to combine them later, make sure that your DC receiver can handle the load. For example, if your DC receiver can handle 20 amps, and an actuator uses 5 amps, you can connect with that DC receiver 4 actuators. Other than that, all the setup procedures are absolutely easy. Every actuator set comes with detailed instructions. Thus, you can handle the installation and setup even if you don’t understand much about the technology. As for further specifications, they depend on your project. Thus, the weight that actuators can handle, their stroke length, design, and so on, shall be checked separately for every project you are going to manage. And if you have any issues or questions, a reliable manufacturer will always explain everything to you. &nbsp;&nbsp;
