Mechanism Control
General Control
This mechanism has multiple standard control methods, each of which requires a dierent input method to the
control box. For ease, the input sockets on the control board are labelled below.

Mechanism Emergency Stop Connector
This mechanism features an Emergency Stop Connector, which MUST be plugged into the control box in the
connector labelled above for the mechanism to operate. If this connector is not plugged in, the Input Conrmation
LED will be permanently lit. As per the red plastic tag attached to the Emergency Stop Connector (and shown
below), the small loop of wire in this connector is designed to be replaced by a third party safety mechanism.
Replacing Mechanism Batteries
The standard Future Automation Infrared (IR) remote control required x2 AAA batteries to operate. These are
provided with the mechanism in the Accessories Pack. These batteries can be replaced as the per the image
below.

Page 18
Mechanism Control
Infrared (IR)
This Mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 14 button Infrared (IR) Remote Control, pair with the supplied
Infrared (IR) lead and sensor.
The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging the Infrared (IR) lead and sensor into the 3.5mm IR
Input Jack shown on the General Mechanism Control page.
Conrmation of Infrared (IR) input will be shown by a single ash of the large green LED located on the end of
the control box.
As Infrared (IR) control works over line of site, the Infrared (IR) sensor must be directly viewable from what ever
location the remote control is being used from.
Multi-button commands beginning with STORE should be tapped sequentially within
1 second of each other
Infrared (IR) Remote Control Button Layout
IN - Brings the mechanism into
the ceiling.
OUT - Brings the mechanism
out of the ceiling, and extends
the telescope to the maximum
travel.
STOP - Will stop the operation of
the mechanism at ANY position.
PRESET - Brings the mechanism at
out of the ceiling and stops it at a
learned position anywhere before
the fully out position.
[STORE] + [PRESET] - Stores any
position before the fully out
position.
To utilise this function, press
[OUT] and then press [STOP] at
the desired position.
Use the button combination
above to store this position.
Adjustments can be made to this
position by using [IN] and [OUT]
to reposition and then repeat the
above button combination to
relearn.
IMPORTANT
Only buttons indicated above are functional with the product. Any other button press will STOP the
mechanism.

Mechanism Control
Contact Closure
This Mechanism can be controlled via Contact Closure, utilising an 8 Pin RJ45 Connector attached to a length of
CAT5 (Type 568A or 568B) cable.
The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging this into the RJ45 port on the mechanism control
board, then shorting pins 1-8 on this connector as shown in the Contact Closure Input Table below.
Conrmation of Contact Closure input will be shown by a single ash of the large green LED located on the end
of the control box, as well as illumination of the corresponding Contact Closure LED on the printed circuit board
as shown below.
