DESCRIPTION

The dual Hall Effect actuator control box allows for synchronized control of two Hall Effect actuators. The control box comes with all the necessary hardware for wireless operation, including two wireless remotes with momentary and non-momentary motion control capabilities. Please be aware that this control box is only compatible with matching pairs of Hall Effect actuators. All our actuator models except the PA-15 and PA-11-D30 can be customized to include Hall Effect sensors.

*The PA-40 is only compatible with Progressive Automations brand linear actuators.

OPERATION

a) Power: Once 12V DC is applied through the wiring harness, the control boxwill beep once to signal that it is powered.

b) Programming the Wireless Remote: To program a wireless remote with thecontrol 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 timeas the UP or DOWN button on the wireless remote. The control box will beepto signal that the programming is complete. Up to 4 wireless remotes can beprogrammed to a control box. To erase a previously programmed wirelessremote, simply program the control box 4 times with a different remote.

c) Setup/Reset Procedure: With the control box powered on and the actuatorsconnected, you must reset the system before operation. To do this, press the UPand DOWN button on the wireless remote for 3 seconds. The control box willbeep 3 times to signal the beginning of the reset procedure. The actuators willthen fully retract, fully extend and then fully retract. During this time the actuatorscannot be controlled and it will be operating at half speed. Once the resetprocedure is finished the control box will beep once. This signals that it is readyfor operation.

d) Out-of-sync Error: During operation if one of the actuators is unpluggedor unable to operate the box will go into an error state. Both actuators willstop moving and the control box will beep until it is powered off or the ResetProcedure is started.

e) Wired Control: Another method of control is a wired rocker switch. Thismethod only operates in momentary mode and will automatically override anycommands from the wireless remote. An illustration of the connections requiredcan be found under the Wiring Diagram section.
