Temperature
Operating -34º to 66ºC [-30º to 150ºF]
Storage -40º to 77ºC [-40º to 170ºF]
Humidity
After being placed in a controlled atmosphere of 95% humidity at 38ºC [100ºF] for 10 days, the control handle performs normally.
Rain
After being showered from all directions by a high pressure hose, the control handle performs normally (applied to cased models only). This test fulfills
NEMA 4 specifications (IP 65 equivalent).
Vibration
Withstands a vibration test designed for mobile equipment controls consisting of two parts:
1. Cycling from 5 to 2000 Hz in each of the 3 axes.
2. Resonance dwell for one million cycles for each resonance point in each of the 3 axes.
NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturer Association) NEMA 4 = Intended for indoor or outdoor use
primarily to provide a degree of protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing water, hosedirected water and external ice formation.

Installation
Wiring
For optional connectors, contact your Danfoss representative.
A barrier terminal strip inside the handle’s case provides connections to power, ground, and
potentiometers when no external cable is ordered. Run a cable from the strip through the strain relief
provided on the side or bottom of the case. Reference Potentiometer option on page 14. A clockwise
handle movement causes a current flow from terminal B to A when the terminal strip is facing you.
Warning
An unforeseen failure may cause an output which could activate a valve or pump. Unexpected vehicle or
mechanism movement can endanger people or damage equipment. Handles equipped with a center-off
switch will mitigate this condition. When an active neutral is necessary, provide an operator-presence
interlock and/or braking system sufficient to stop and hold the system or vehicle.
In most applications, auxiliary switches must be customer-wired, as shown in Potentiometer option on
page 14. When the switch is used as a center-off, power is connected from the external 12 Volt supply
to the terminal labeled common. The switch terminals are 3/16 inch quick-connect. PWM Option
(primarily) on page 15 shows a pre-wired control handle with center-off switch and Delphi connector,
exhibiting the handle phasing and color coding of the wires.
The following illustration shows how to assemble the mating Delphi connector (male shell, female
sockets) used in PWM Option (primarily) on page 15.

PWM MCHXXX option models are fitted with trim potentiometers for adjusting the output current. The
following illustration shows the location of the three trim potentiometers on the L handle. There are
either 3 or 4 trim potentiometers depending on the specific MCHXXX model. Reference Ordering
