Introduction
This document explains how to set motor limits (end positions) and how to connect the low voltage data cables
to an M50Q series motor. Refer to the M50Q 230VAC Specifications document for technical details.
Products
M50Q 230VAC 50Hz series motors —M50Q 626B, M50Q 1530B
NOTE: M50Q part numbers ending with “A” are 120VAC and those ending with “B” are 230VAC.
Before You Start
On power-up: LEDs will blink GREEN YELLOW
CW is clockwise rotation looking at the motor from the head end, CCW is counterclockwise.
Be sure the motor is connected to continuous AC power.
An M50Q series motor ships from the factory with a randomized RQ address between C00 and ZZZ and no
limits set.
The M50Q series motor has a 3-conductor, keyed AC power connection in the motor head for connecting the
included AC power cord, PC M40/50 UNIV.
The M50Q series motor has a 5-conductor, keyed low voltage, data connection (RQ Bus and RP Bus) for
use with the CBL 6 FT QE QM, CBL 1 FT QE QM, or RE 1 FT QM, each sold separately. This cable must be
connected after the AC power connection is in place and AC power is applied.
The M50Q series motor has a 3-conductor, keyed low voltage, manual input (dry contact) connection for use
with CBL 6 FT DM, sold separately. This cable must be connected after the AC power connection is in place
and AC power is applied.
The M50Q series motor has three clear buttons with internal LEDs:
oButton 1, RED LED button, with one groove, operates the motor counterclockwise [CCW].
oButton 2, GREEN LED button, with two grooves, operates the motor clockwise [CW].
oCenter Button, YELLOW LED button with no groove, used to set and clear motor options.
If any button is pressed while the motor is moving, the motor will stop.
Use an SP1E3Q when connecting more than two RQ-enabled motors (M40Q or M50Q).
Refer to the M40Q and M50Q Typical Wiring Diagram on page 4 for an example of wiring.

Power-Up the M50Q
The M50Q series motor includes a keyed 3-conductor AC power connection in the head end of the motor.
Securely connect the included AC Power Cord (PC M40/50 UNIV) to this connector. Installer shall
connect appropriate AC power plug to blunt-cut end.
Motor Configuration
Set Motor Limits:
When power is first applied to a factory default motor, the motor is in “Set limit mode.” The mode is identified
by a flashing RED LED on Button 1 and a flashing GREEN LED on Button 2.
1. To set the CCW limit, press either Button 1 (CCW motion) or Button 2 (CW motion), to operate the
motor to the desired CCW limit.
2. Once the desired CCW limit position has been reached, press and hold the Center Button first and then
also press and hold Button 1 (flashing RED) until the RED LED turns off and the Center Button
YELLOW LED lights solid (approx. 2 seconds) then immediately release both buttons to set the CCW
limit.
3. The YELLOW LED lights solid for three seconds to acknowledge the “Set CCW limit to here” operation,
then the motor goes into “Set CW limit mode” and the GREEN LED on Button 2 will be flashing.
4. Press either Button 1 or Button 2 to operate the motor to the desired CW limit.
5. Once the desired CW limit position has been reached, press and hold the Center Button first and then
also press and hold Button 2 (flashing GREEN) until the GREEN LED turns off and the Center Button
YELLOW LED lights solid (approx. 2 seconds) then immediately release both buttons to set the CW
limit.
6. The YELLOW LED lights solid for three seconds to acknowledge the “Set CW limit to here” operation.
7. Both motor limits are set and all LEDs are off.
Clear both Limits:
1. Press and hold the Center Button until the YELLOW LED lights solid (approx. 10 seconds) then release
the Center Button.
2. The LED in Button 1 begins flashing RED and the LED in Button 2 begins flashing GREEN. See "Set
Motor Limits" above.
Clear CCW Motor Limit:
1. Press and hold the Center Button first and then also press and hold Button 1 until the Center Button
YELLOW LED lights (approx. 2 seconds) and then turns off (approx. 3 seconds later) then release both
buttons.
2. The LED in Button 1 begins flashing RED. See "Set Motor Limits" above.
Clear CW Motor Limit:
1. Press and hold the Center Button first and then also press and hold Button 2 until the Center Button
YELLOW LED lights (approx. 2 seconds) and then turns off (approx. 3 seconds later) then release both
buttons.
2. The LED in Button 2 begins flashing GREEN. See "Set Motor Limits" above.
Adjust either Motor Limit:
1. Press either Button 1 (CCW motion) or Button 2 (CW motion), to operate the motor to the desired
position.
2. Once the desired limit position is reached, press and hold the Center Button first and then also press
and hold the appropriate button —Button 1 (CCW limit) or Button 2 (CW limit) —until the YELLOW
LED lights (approx. 2 seconds) then immediately release both buttons to set the corresponding motor
limit.

Toggle Motor Direction:
1. Simultaneously press and hold both Button 1 (CCW) and Button 2 (CW), until both the RED and
GREEN LEDs light (approx. 5 seconds) then release both buttons.
2. If motor direction is such that the Open command is CW, then the LEDs will blink RED then GREEN. If
motor direction is such that the Open command is CCW, then the LEDs will blink GREEN then RED.
Determine Motor Version:
1. Power cycle the motor to determine motor firmware version.
2. On power-up, LEDs will blink GREEN YELLOW.
Low Voltage Cable Connections
IMPORTANT: Each of the Low Voltage cables must be connected after the AC power connection is
in place and AC power is applied.
Manual inputs (dry contact) using 3-conductor, keyed low voltage cable:
If you plan to use relays from a building automation system, a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) manual input
(dry contact) switch, or similar device, for “contact closure control” of an M50Q motor, you will need to connect
the CBL 6 FT DM, sold separately.
1. Connect the CBL 6 FT DM to the 3-conductor, low voltage manual input (dry contact) connection, and
wire it to the contact closure control —the center wire is COMMON.
IMPORTANT: When inserting the connector into the motor, do not use a metal tool to push the
connector into the socket.
2. Verify desired operation from the contact closure device.
RP Bus / RQ Bus using 5-conductor, keyed low voltage cable:
If you plan to utilize an RQ Bridge, Infrared Eye, or other RP/RQ accessory to control an M50Q motor, you will
need to connect the CBL 6 FT QE QM, or the CBL 1FT QE QM, each sold separately.
1. Connect the cable to the 5-conductor, low voltage data connection, and connect the modular plug into
the RP or RQ bus.
IMPORTANT: When inserting the connector into the motor, do not use a metal tool to push the
connector into the socket.
NOTE: the modular plug is an EYE as far as an RP bus connection is concerned.
2. Verify desired functions from an RP or RQ input device or accessory.
DO NOT attempt to send RS-232, RS-422, or contact closure to this connection.
If you plan to use an Infrared Eye to control an M50Q motor, you can connect the RE 1 FT QM, sold separately.
1. Connect the Infrared Eye to the 5-conductor, low voltage data connection.
IMPORTANT: When inserting the connector into the motor, do not use a metal tool to push the
connector into the socket.
2. Verify desired operation from the IR control.
