2. Installation
a. Install the Actuator.
Screw diameter
Standard torque
for bolting
b. Mount to the Actuator.
- Slider Type: Use the 4 tapped holes (M5, depth 10mm) located on the top of the slider.
The maximum torque for mounting is 7.5Nm (0.77Kgf.m).
- Rod Type: Be sure to use a wrench to prevent adding rotational moment
to the rod (see picture to the right). Use a 13mm wrench for the RA54
model and a 17mm wrench for the RA64 model.

3. Wiring
Connect the connector end of the relay cable to the actuator cable connector.
Individually connect the open ends of the cable to: (1) 24V DC control/motor power supply, (2) Emergency stop circuit,
(3) I/O circuit, (4) Ground wire, (5) Brake release switch (when brake option is used).
Because the HOLD signal is a normally closed contact, it is ON during operation and OFF during pause. If there is no
PLC software at the time of adjustment, change parameter #15 (refer to the last page of this Quick Start Guide). You
can temporarily short it to 0V. (It becomes necessary to use the teaching pendant or PC for operation). Afterwards,
you must remove this short if you plan to automatically operate it with a PLC.
4. LED Indicator for Power Supply
Before supplying 24V power, confirm that the brake release switch is OFF and that the
emergency stop circuit is not operating. Supply power. The LED located on top of the
motor cover should be GREEN.
A RED light indicates a cutoff in the motor power supply, or that an alarm is occurring. At this
point, you should refer to the "Troubleshooting" section of your Operating Manual to resolve
this problem.

5. Input Data & Operate with PC or Teaching Pendant
Connect the teaching pendant or PC to the mini DIN connector located at the rear of the motor cover. Input
desired data such as position, speed, acceleration/deleceration, position range. Other operations can be
performed such as position movement verfication, direct teaching of positions, and data correction based on
the load situation.
Note that during operation the Start Signal Input and Home Return are OFF, and Pause is ON.
