Description
LC-241 Specifications

Adjust the speed and direction of a compatible custom brushless linear actuator with the LC-241 brushless DC motor controller. It supports customized PA-14 and PA-14P brushless units, rated for a maximum of 8A at 12 VDC or 24 VDC, using screw-terminal control connections. Standard brushed-motor actuators are not compatible.

The brushless actuator controller supports speed and direction control through the documented control inputs. Use the internal potentiometer or the specified external speed-control input as described in the manual. Controller operation is rated for 100% duty cycle; the connected actuator must remain within its own rating.

Wire the customized brushless actuator, power source and control inputs to the screw terminals according to the LC-241 manual. No standard handset is included.

Power input: 12–24 VDC. Maximum controlled actuator current is 8A. Select a suitable power source for the confirmed custom motor configuration.

View the LC-241 datasheet for setup, wiring and operating limits.

Compatible custom actuators: PA-14 and PA-14P only when customized with compatible brushless DC motors. Standard brushed-motor versions are not compatible.

FAQ
What types of actuators are compatible with the LC-241 controller and how do I order a compatible brushless model?

The LC-241 control box is designed for PA-14 and PA-14P brushless actuator compatibility. These actuators need to be custom-ordered for the PA-14 brushless customization. 

How does the LC-241 allow for speed and direction control of a brushless linear actuator?

Actuator speed adjustments and directional actuator control are made possible by configuring the ports of the LC-241 according to the instructions of our user manual.

Speed Control Model: Open loop or closed loop control.

Speed Adjustment 1 (SPD2):

  • Internal potentiometer, reduce speed by rotating CCW and increase by rotating CW
  • Short circuit between “SPD” and “GND”

Speed Adjustment 2 (SPD):

  • Add a potentiometer between “SPD” and “GND”
  • Linear relationship between speed and voltage
  • Rotate internal potentiometer to MINIMUM in CCW direction

Start/Stop (RUN):

  • Short circuit between “RUN” and “GND”
  • Stop if open circuit

Reverse (REV):

  • Short circuit between "RUN", "REV" and "GND"
  • Stop if open circuit
What are the wiring requirements for connecting a brushless actuator to the LC-241, and how do I use the screw terminals?

Follow the LC-241 wiring diagram from the datasheet for full details on brushless actuator wiring. The wires are typically green, blue, and white, which will connect to the U, V, and W terminals, respectively. If the wires are different colors, connecting them in the wrong order will simply move the electric linear actuator in the opposite direction than intended. Use a screwdriver to ensure the brushless motor wires are tightly secured to the screw terminal connections. 

What is the difference between brushed and brushless motor controllers and why is the LC-241 not compatible with brushed actuators?

Brushed DC motor controllers output consistent power and would reverse output polarities to switch travel direction, while a brushless DC motor controller like the LC-241 outputs power at the right timing to the different motor coils for motion. The actuator motor type differences between brushed vs brushless actuators and how they operate limit the LC-241 compatibility with brushless DC-motored actuators only.

What power supply specifications are required for safe operation of the LC-241 and what happens if current exceeds 8 A?

The LC-241 accepts 12–24VDC power input, so use a power supply and brushless actuator that have a matching voltage within this range and ensure current draw does not exceed 8A. Exceeding the 8A actuator current limit triggers the controller overload protection error code (LED flashes 1 time) and will stop operation.
