One actuator can be used on any selector, from 2 to 96 positions, so you can stock only one type of actuator even if you have a variety of multiposition valves. Valve position memory is maintained even in the event of a power failure.
The direction reversal feature means that if a 6 position stream selection valve is on stream 1 and you select stream 6, you have the option of stepping "backwards" to stream 6 instead of passing through 2, 3, 4, and 5.
RS-232 control offers various commands like position access, direction control, shortest route, etc. (The RS-232 cable must be ordered separately.)
Some valves are harder or easier than others to rotate, so we
offer two microelectric models - high speed and high torque.

|---|---|
| RS-232 interface cable | I-22697 |
Multi-drop cables
Multi-drop cables permit a single serial port to control multiple microelectric two position and multiposition actuators. Multi-drop cables have one female DB9 connector and 2 to 8 male DB9 connectors and are approximately 6" long.
Note: An RS-232 interface cable (I-22697) is required for each actuator controlled serially.
