1 General

1.1 Using the Technical Instructions

The Technical Instructions are intended for designers who use the Mobilette in their
products, and for engineers who work with the Mobilette. The Technical Instructions
contain all relevant information on this Magnetic product. We reserve the right to
make changes which are in the interest of technical progress.

Please read the Technical Instructions carefully and, above all, pay careful attention to
the Safety Instructions.

The Technical Instructions can be used for drawing up the User Manual for the end
product.

1.2 Explanation of symbols

The symbols opposite are used in the Technical Instructions to highlight possible dan­gers and important notes.

2 Function

The MOBILETTE control unit (MCU) is used for the mains-independent control of 24V
DC actuators. A distinction is made between two versions:

The MCU1 is connected to the mains voltage using a mains adapter. Protection class
IPx4 applies to the MCU1.

The MCU8 (MCU4) is connected directly to the 230V (120V) mains supply, which is
transformed to 24 V DC via an integrated transformer. This component is subject to
protection class IPx3.

This battery pack consists of 2 batteries connected in series, each of 12 V 4.5 Ah,
resulting in a total of 24 V. The charged battery pack can be used to power the control
unit and thus the actuator. Operation is via a connected control device, e.g. a
handswitch.

An integrated current cut-off protects the actuator from overloading.

An integrated „EMERGENCY STOP“ function can be used to cut off the power supply
to the actuator, so that it immediately stops moving.

Ensure that the groove on the plug is aligned with the mark on the control unit.

d Use the special plug disassembling tool No. 140375 to turn the plug approx. 30°

to the right up against the stop in order to lock it in position.

Repeat steps

c to d if you wish to connect an (optional) second actuator.

Otherwise, the actuator output which is not used is closed with a watertight blanking
plug at the factory. This plug must not be removed.

3.5 Startup

Charging the battery

The battery charging process is started when the mains adapter / mains cable is
plugged in, or the battery pack is fitted in place while the mains adapter / mains cable
is plugged in.

An LED (Fig. 8,

c) indicates the battery’s charge state

LED yellow Batteries are being charged, mains voltage connected.
LED green Batteries are fully charged, mains voltage connected.
LED unlit Mains voltage not connected.

Current consumption at full load

During commissioning, measure the actuator’s maximum current consumption at full
load. It must not exceed the value specified on the type plate of the linear actuator.
Higher current consumption means that the linear actuator is overloaded and may be
damaged.

An integrated overcurrent cut-off automatically deactivates the actuator if the cur­rent consumption is too great.

Fig. 7 – Inserting the actuator plug

Batteries must only be charged in well-venti­lated rooms. The gases resulting from the
charging process are dangerous.
Do not charge the batteries in damp environ­ments!

If the charging cycle lasts more than 20
hours, the battery or control unit is faulty.
Remove the mains adapter from the socket.
(See also 5.1 Maintenance)

Lightly lubricate the plug sealing rings with
Klübersynth VR-252, Magnetic order No.
R50014.

The use of other lubricants can damage seal­ing rings and the plastic housing.

Ensure that the groove on the plug is aligned
with the mark on the housing.

Otherwise, the plug cannot be connected

Pressing "Emergency Lowering"

 Press the yellow button (see Fig. 10, c)

The faulty control unit must then be sent to Magnetic AG, Liestal for repair.

5 Care and maintenance

5.1 Maintenance

The control unit and the battery pack must only be opened and maintained by Mag­netic Customer Services. Please contact Magnetic AG, Liestal.

Recharge flat batteries as soon as possible. This will increase their service life. When
in storage, batteries should be recharged every 6 months.

The service life of the batteries depends on the load and the charge status. It can last
up to 5 years.

Replacements for damaged or worn-out batteries and faulty charging devices should
be obtained from Magnetic AG, Liestal.

Changing the battery pack

Remove the battery pack by pulling the handle (with sufficient force to counteract the
stop spring). The new battery pack can then be inserted as described in chapter 3.3.

5.2 Functional checks

The following functions should be checked periodically - depending on the frequency
of use:

Mechanical damage

The plastic housing must be checked at least every six months for mechanical damage
(cracks).

Periodically check sealing edges for damage. The sealing rings of the control device
plugs and motor plugs must be checked for damage before each union and exchanged
if necessary.

Power cut-off

Check the power cut-off regularly while extending the actuator to an end position. On
reaching the end position, the control unit must deactivate the actuator without the
button on the control device being released. When the power is cut, a click is heard in
the control unit and the actuator motor stops running.
