I bought a used linear actuator (110v) and it has 4 wires. It used to have 3 wires hooked up to a rocker switch. the rocker switch has 3 terminals. up position made the motor contract, down position made it expand, middle position was obviously not engaged. Awhile back the wiring was cut and I can not safely figure out what wires are for what - I DO NOT want to fry the motor, so I have not experimented.
The wire colors are: Black, White, Red and Green.
the linear actuator is from Hubbel, model MC42-1003. Since Hubbel seems to be out of business, I can't find any information online about this motor's wiring. If pictures would be helpful, I can take some - but I don't think they'll show much more than I've explained.
I can either use the existing 3-terminal switch (knowing that it worked once before), or I can go to radio shack and purchase something else if recommended.
Thanks a bunch for the help!
