2.1 Power options
Automate DC motors are powered from a 12V DC power source. AA Battery wands, re-chargeable battery
packs and A/C power supplies are available, with a variety of quick connect extension cords. For centralized
installations, power supply range can be extended with 18/2 wire (not available through Acmeda Rollease).
• During operation, if voltage drops to less than 10V, the motor will beep 10 times to indicate a power
supply issue.
• Motor will stop running when the voltage is lower than 7V and it will resume again when the voltage is
greater than 7.5V.

Problem Cause Remedy
Batteries in wand are depleted Replace 8 x AA alkaline batteries.
A/C power supply not plugged in.
Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery
Battery is inserted incorrectly
into transmitter
Motor is not responding
Motor beeps 10 times when in use Battery voltage is low.
Cannot program a single Motor
(multiple motors respond)
Radio interference/shielding
Receiver distance is too far from
transmitter
Power failure
Incorrect wiring
Multiple motors are paired to the
same channel.
Check motor to power cable
connection and AC plug.
Check battery polarity
Ensure transmitter is positioned
away from metal objects and the
aerial on motor or receiver is kept
straight and away from metal
Move transmitter to a closer
position
Check power supply to motor is
connected and active
Check that wiring is connected
correctly (refer to motor
installation instructions)
Replace batteries in battery wand
-OR-
Recharge rechargable battery
pack.
Always reserve an individual
channel for programming
functions
SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide
an extra 15 channel controller in
your multi motor projects, that
provides individual control for each
motor for programming purposes
Place all other motoprs into sleep
