Operation
a) Power: Once power is applied through the wiring harness, the control box will beep once to signal
that it is powered. Please note that a power supply that is not rated for the full load current of the
actuators will have the actuator behave erratically.
b) Programming the Wireless Remote: To program a wireless remote with the control box, you must
first remove the black box to expose the circuit board. Once the circuit board is powered, press and
hold switch ‘S1’ at the same time as the UP or DOWN button on the wireless remote. The control box
will beep to signal that the programming is complete. Up to 4 wireless remotes can be programmed to a
control box. To erase a previously programmed wireless remote, simply program the control box 4
times with a different remote.
c) Setup/Reset Procedure: With the control box powered on and the actuators connected, you must
reset the system before operation. To do this, press the UP and DOWN button on the wireless remote
for 3 seconds. The control box will beep 3 times to signal the beginning of the reset procedure. During
this time the actuators cannot be controlled and it will be operating at half speed. Once the reset
procedure is finished the control box will beep once. This signals that it is ready for operation.
To reset the control box using the wired rocker switch, power off the control box. Press and hold the
down button on the rocker switch and power on the PA-40. The down button must be held for 3
seconds while the control box is on. Once the PA-40 makes a beep, release the down button to initiate
the Reset Procedure.
*Reset Warning: There is no synchronization in either Reset Mode (see page 4), it is important to
ensure that both actuators are unloaded. If unavoidable, we recommend using the Secondary Reset
Mode, however binding can still occur depending on the application.
At any point during either Reset Procedure, any command from the wireless or wired remote will
cancel the procedure. It is important to complete a full reset procedure in either mode to achieve
proper functionality.
d) Out-of-sync Error: During operation if one of the actuators is unplugged or unable to operate the
box will go into an error state. Both actuators will stop moving and the control box will beep until it is
powered off or the Reset Procedure is started.
e) Wired Control: Another method of control is a wired rocker switch. This method only operates in
momentary mode and will automatically override any commands from the wireless remote. An
illustration of the connections required can be found under the Wiring Diagram section.
