MECHANISM
QUICK-START GUIDE
Some Future Automation mechanisms may ship with the control box disconnected to prevent damage
during transit. In order to operate the mechanism, the control box will need to reconnected, then have
mains power applied along with the desired control method.
RECONNECTING THE CONTROL BOX
To reconnect the mechanism control box, follow the below steps:
1. Make sure the power is disconnected from the control box.
2. Remove the retaining screw and washer from the end of the control box to allow removal of the
control box lid. (Image 1 Below).
3. Slide o the control box lid to reveal the control board inside.
4. Locate the green connector on the end of the loom leading from the lift mechanism. This plug will
have a small tag attached stating the correct connecting socket on the control board (e.g. “AC1”,
“DC2”...) (Image 2 Below).
5. Plug the green connector into the corresponding socket on the control board. This plug is handed
and will only connect correctly one way. Do NOT force the connector into the socket, this can cause
serious damage to the control board and mechanism.
6. Route the wiring loom out of the end of the control box by inserting the black plastic inserts into the
slots provided. (Image 3 Below).
7. Slide the control box cover back over the control board and replace the xing screw and washer.
IMPORTANT
For the mechanism to operate, the green three way safety connector with the loop of
wire attached, must also be plugged into the end of the control box. (Image 4 above).
If this connector is not plugged in, a bright red LED will be visible inside control board
and the Input Conrmation Input LED will be permanently illuminated.
