Single Motor (Hub) and Remote
(a) Connect AC power to the motor.
On motor, Yellow LED is solid and Red LED is
flashing (indicates end limits are not set).2
(b) Wait until motor jogs twice.
Could take up to 3 minutes.
(c) Motor is now the Hub motor.
Yellow LED begins flashing for 60 seconds
(indicates Network Invite Mode).3
Important Installation Information
When shipped, the remote is in Setup Mode to facilitate creation of a motor network.
When network creation is finished and ready for the end user, you must exit Setup Mode on the remote.
For best RF performance, the antenna on the motor should maintain as much separation from a conductive surface as possible.
Glossary
Hub Motor - Special designation for the first motor powered up. All commands to additional motors are routed through the Hub motor.
Jog Once - Motor moves a short distance in one direction.
Jog Twice - Motor moves a short distance in two directions.
Remote - The RF transceiver used to set up and operate motors.
Asleep - The default state of a remote is ―asleep‖ — no LEDs are lit. ―Wake Up‖ remote: press and release the UP or DOWN button.
Group - A collection of up to four motors controlled by Group 1, 2, 3, or 4 on an Arc transceiver or Group 1 on a Step transceiver.
LED - Light-emitting diode. Both the remote and the motor head have LEDs in three colors.
Blink - A single on/off of an LED.
Flash - LED turns on and off continuously.
M40/50RF Motor
The M40/50RF motor is equipped with radio frequency technology
and has three buttons with internal LEDs that provide visual
feedback during setup and operation.
Green LED – Button operates the motor in one direction.
Yellow LED – Center Button is used for motor administration.
Red LED – Button operates the motor in the other direction.
SUITE Remote
The SUITE Remote is equipped with radio frequency technology for wireless control
of all ESI RF-enabled motors.
The SUITE Step remote controls one group of up to four motors.
The SUITE Arc remote controls four groups of up to four motors each, for a total of sixteen motors.
Wake Up the Remote
The remote must be ―awake‖ to send or receive commands.
To wake up a remote that is ―asleep‖ (no LEDs are lit):
Press and release the UP or DOWN button.
NOTE: When no buttons are pressed, the remote goes to sleep after 10 seconds
while in User Mode, or after 60 seconds while in Setup Mode.

indicate new devices may join (Network Invite Mode).
(c) Motor will join an existing network or become a Hub motor if no network is detected.
NOTE: If you clear the Network Information on the Hub motor, you will lose the
ability to administer the network; however, you can still control the remaining
motors in the network. To re-create a network, you must Reset the remote,
then start over, beginning with Step 1 ―Create the Hub Motor.‖
3 x
Reboot / Reset
NOTE: Remote must be awake and in Setup Mode to perform a reboot* or reset.
- A “reboot” retains all network and device information and the remote rejoins the network.
- A “reset” clears all network and device information (factory default).
Press and hold “preset” and STOP — after 2 seconds, UP and DOWN turn on solid.
To REBOOT: Release “preset” and STOP when the UP and DOWN LEDs are on solid.
The remote enters Setup Mode immediately after rebooting.
To RESET: Release “preset” and STOP after the UP and DOWN LEDs go out (about 5 seconds).
The remote enters Network Search Mode immediately after resetting.
* A reboot functions the same as if the batteries were removed, then reinstalled or replaced. A reboot is
typically used if the remote has communication errors or operational errors with the network.

Problem
Reason
Solution
Installation steps did not work.
Reset both the motor and the remote to factory defaults and start again.
Non-Hub motor does not
respond to commands from
the remote, such as UP or
DOWN, when its Group
Number is selected.
Non-Hub motor may not have joined
the network.
1. With the remote in Setup Mode and awake:
Press the STOP button.
Green LED under “preset” starts flashing for up to 60 seconds.
2. Clear the non-Hub motor’s network information:
Press the Center button 3 times within 1 second.
Yellow LED on motor starts flashing after a 5 second delay.
Non-Hub motor will jog once when it joins the network.
Red LED under “preset” button
on remote, in Setup Mode,
blinks twice when a motor is
selected.
Communication error between remote
and motor.
Delete the motor from the network, then re-add the motor.
Follow the instructions on how to “Delete a Motor from the Network.”
If you want to re-add the motor to the network, follow the instructions on how
to “Join Additional Motors to the Network.”
Cannot add new motors or
cannot administer existing
motors (adjust limits, and so
on).
Hub motor is offline or out of RF range.
1. Make sure motor antennas are not touching a conductive surface.
2. Unplug all motors except the Hub motor.
3. Reset Hub motor to the factory default and leave power on. Wait for the Hub
motor to jog twice, which could take up to 3 minutes.
4. Reset remote to factory default. Remote enters Network Search Mode.
5. Remote automatically joins the Hub and enters Setup Mode.
Motor does not respond to
motor head button presses or
to commands from the remote.
Motor has no power or is potentially
defective.
1. Make sure motor has AC power.
2. On the motor head, if you see a Red double blink (blink blink … blink blink …),
then the motor is defective. Use a different motor.
Remote is in Setup Mode and
will not control a motor added
to the network.
If several motors were added and
deleted from the network, the remote’s
memory locations may be full.
Delete any uncontrollable motors from the network to free up memory locations
on the remote.
Follow the instructions on how to “Delete a Motor from the Network.”
TROUBLESHOOTING
ENDNOTES
1
A Hub motor is the gatekeeper to a network. Any new motor has the ability to become a Hub motor when first powered up. A
factory default motor has all limit and network information cleared.
2
On power up, a motor first gives a series of blinks to show the firmware version (not described in this document).
3
Network Invite Mode is a 60 second time frame when a motor or remote is looking for other devices to join the network.
4
Network Search Mode is a 30 second time frame when a remote looks for other devices to join when no network is present.
