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.
