Title: Wiring help, to wire up a exhaust flap actuator
Post by: Dox777 on December 09, 2024, 01:50:54 pm

Hi there,

I want to preface this by saying I am totally new to wiring up electronics and could really use a pointer. I am trying to wire up a exhaust flap actuator Kuster 3 pin) to a wireless control board (DieseRC 433Mhz 1 CH Universal Wireless Remote Control Switch DC 12V).

The thing I am not certain about is where do I attach the white wire. The actuator has 3 wires, black (gnd) red (12+v) and a white (I assume is some sort of signal wire).

Here is the attachment so far:
DC 12V+ to 12V+ on the board
DC 12V- to 12V- on the board
Jumped 12V+ to COM on the board
Red wire from the actuator to NO on the board
Black wire to 12V- on the board

That leaves the white wire which I don't know where it should go. Note that the remote control when pressed ON or OFF doesn't do anything. However if I touch the white wire to ground on the board, the actuator will respond.

Any help appreciated.

Welcome to EEVBlog.

You need to go to "attachments and other options," upload your attachment(s), and be sure they post.  It is a little clunky and temperamental at times, but it usually works.
