Actuator cabling

Dr.Dish:
Here we are with the 911-service: disconnect all wires from the actuator and 
make a new start.
Connect the two thick cables to the motor-connector (usually signed with M1 
+ M2) to the positioner and on the back of the receiver. The sheilded wire 
to ground on both sides and the red wire to "PULSE". Thats all. If the 
actuator turns to the wrong side, just exchange the two thick wires between 
the two motor connectors (26 or 36V).
Good luck!
