Mechanism Quick-start Guide

Quick-start Guide

Some Future Automation mechanisms may ship with the control box disconnected to prevent damage during
transit. In order to operate the mechanism, the control box will need to reconnected, then have mains power
applied along with the desired control method.

Reconnecting The Control Box

To reconnect the mechanism control box, follow the below steps:

1. Make sure the power is disconnected from the control box.

2. Remove the retaining screw and washer from the end of the control box to allow removal of the control box

lid. (Image 1 Below).

3. Slide o the control box lid to reveal the control board inside.

4. Locate the green connector on the end of the loom leading from the lift mechanism. This plug will have a

small tag attached stating the correct connecting socket on the control board (e.g. “AC1”, “DC2”...) (Image 2

Below).

5. Plug the green connector into the corresponding socket on the control board. This plug is handed and will

only connect correctly one way. Do NOT force the connector into the socket, this can cause serious damage

to the control board and mechanism.

6. Route the wiring loom out of the end of the control box by inserting the black plastic inserts into the slots

provided. (Image 3 Below).

7. Slide the control box cover back over the control board and replace the  xing screw and washer.
