General Description
JOSTechnik’s electronic flap actuator HK2.0 (hereinafter referred to as HK 2) is a further
development of JT-HK’s series of flap actuators, which have been on the market for a
number of years. It is used for the automated openin and closin of sliders to poultry
houses. Sliders wei hin approximately 400 - max. 2.5 k can be moved usin the
HK2.The slider must run smoothly, it must not rub or tilt.
The flap actuator HK2 is available in 2 versions:
1 Framework device consistin of a control unit on a fully assembled self-lockin
slider formin a compact unit (HK2.0-R..)
2 Standalone device (HK2.0) to be used with external sliders (standard or self-
lockin )
Range of functions:
Automatic openin /closin of the slider
Control by dimmer switch and inte rated timer
Manual operation with (▲ und ▼) keys inte rated on the device
◦or with optional radio remote control
◦or optional remote keys
The closin point is reached without external limit switches usin the travel time
control
Safety function with control if animals are in the path of the slider
◦an interrupted closin process is repeated - real emer ency stop or emer ency
openin function
Optional remote display of the slider status by means of 2 extra bri ht LED li hts
Can be installed inside or outside the poultry house
Inte rated attractor li ht controlled by a li ht sensor
The HK2 basically works in automatic mode, but can also be operated manually (see
section on Manual Operation).
Internally, the device works with a stable DC volta e of 12 V. Standard batteries are not
suitable for operatin the HK2. A plu -in power supply for connection to the 230V power
supply is part of the delivery packa e. The device has IP65 protection and can be used
outdoors without additional protection. The plu -in power supply must be connected in-
doors in any case, since it has no suitable protection for outdoor use.
The basic function can be enhanced or adapted usin optional sensors and modules (see
section on Optional Modules).
The JT-LDR external li ht sensor is definitely required
◦if the control unit is located in the poultry house or is installed in the shade
JT-FT wired remote keys are required
◦if the control unit is in the poultry house, for example.
The JT-FA wired remote display is required
◦if the slider status cannot be seen from a distance
Radio remote control with 2 JT-FB keys are required
◦for operatin the slider
Seite 1 von 14

Original Be ienungsanleitung Klappensteller HK2.0 10/2020
Radio remote control with 4 JT-FB4T keys are required
◦for operatin the slider and the li htin
Attractor li ht (no dimmer function)
◦1 x LED li ht bar up to max. 12 V / 12 W can be connected directly
You can easily retrofit optional sensors and modules yourself. All the necessary connec-
tions are available and are connected or plu ed in usin screws (see section on Installa-
tion Instructions). A flexible cable bushin is built into the housin for the additional cables
so that no additional drillin is required.
The housin must be opened in any case to carry out any retrofittin . The power must be
disconnected beforehand. After connectin the sensors and/or modules, close the housin
and reconnect the power supply.
The slider can be controlled accordin to bri htness and the time of day. The settin of the
threshold values is menu-driven and further control options, such as permanent or semi-
automatic operation, are available.
If there is no explicit reference to differences between the HK2.0-R.. framework device and
the HK-2.0 standalone device, these instructions apply to both types of device.
Installation Instructions
The plu -in power supply is usually already connected when you receive the product. If
you have to connect the plu -in power supply yourself, make sure it is connected correctly
to the 12 V terminal (red to +, black to -). If you have purchased optional modules, connect
them as well (see section on Optional Modules). Note the polarity of the attractor li ht.
Please ensure that you rea all the operating instructions in or er to be able to make use of all the
features offere by the flap actuator.
HK2.0 – stan alone evice
Before the electronic flap actuator is put into use, it must be fitted accordin the installation
instructions and be attached to the chicken door by means of a connection cord. Usin the
flap actuator with out the connected slider will lead to malfunctions.
Note the following: (applies only to the standalone device with separate slider)
The aluminium nut of the flap actuator must be directly on the housin (the cord is rolled up). Do not cut this
nut off under any circumstances. Attach a separate connectin cord here (not included in the delivery
packa e). Push the slider into the open position and now connect the separate cord to the opened slider.
The minimum distance between the upper ed e of the opened slider and the lower ed e of the HK2 must
be at least 10 cm.
HK2.0-R..
The frame unit is pre-assembled ready for use and requires no further assembly work.
Fasten it to your stable with the screws supplied. Use the existin holes in the rails, do not
drill new holes.

Submenu Emergency Stop
The device has a real emer ency stop or emer ency openin function. This means that
should be an animal under the slider when it is closin , the slider will stop closin and re -
open as soon as it touches the animal. The slider will then attempt to close a ain. After 3
unsuccessful attempts, this function is temporarily switched off and the slider finally closes.
If "false" emer ency stops are tri ered too often throu h the use of cables and uide
rollers or other mechanical impairments (i.e. the slider attempts to close a number of times
without bein tri ered by animals), the function can be permanently switched off here.
< Emergency stop >

Submenu Redefine End Po ition ( lider CLOSED)
Structural differences between poultry houses mean that the path of the slider has to be
defined. It is necessary to redefine the end position function so that the flap actuator
knows when the slider is closed.
< Re efining the en position >

You only have to call up this menu item if you want to reset the lower end position, e. . be -
cause the slider has chan ed or the device has been installed in a different position. No
other settin s are deleted.
Submenu Ca tor
When usin the HK2 as a standalone device with a separate self-lockin slider, the motor
must continue to run after the slider has been attached until the lockin lever has en a ed.
This is done by the castor function.

Automatic Mo e
The device is desi ned for automatic operation and opens and closes the slider in accor-
dance with the operatin mode that has been set. Interventions in the automatisation are
required only if you wish to deviate from standard usa e. This includes, for example, clos-
in the poultry house by the hour for cleanin , or openin it manually to put a stray bird
into the poultry house.
The auto mode is interrupted without "outside" intervention only if errors occur. (see head-
in on Troubleshooting)
Manual Mo e
Pressin the ▲ key and the ▼ key, the optional radio remote control or the optional re-
mote keys will allow you to operate the slider manually at any time, re ardless of the li ht
sensor and timer. Each of these actions exits the automatic mode and will not cause any
further automatic openin / closin to take place until you exit manual mode.
The interruption of automatic mode is shown in two ways:
1 In the display Display A (automatic) or M (manual)
2 Optional remote display belon in to the manual function performed

Explanation:
If the automatically closed slider is opened a ain manually in the evenin , it remains
OPEN until the slider is closed a ain manually or the automatic forced closin is activated
at 11:00 pm and the device is switched to automatic mode.
If the slider is closed manually durin the day, the slider will not reopen automatically until
the followin mornin .

do not press the manual key in the set time ran e, the device remains in the current state
(i.e. constantly OPEN or CLOSED).
If you have only set the -/- mode for the evenin and have for otten to close the poultry
house manually, it will be closed at 11 pm by the automatic forced closin .
A 4-key radio remote control also enables you to operate the attractor li ht manually re-
ardless of the li ht sensor, time and slider status. A ain, the manual operation interrupts
the automatic operation of the attractor li ht. Forced shutdown takes place at 11:00 pm.
Troubleshooting an Service
It’ not working. What now?
First call the service department (you can find the phone number on the invoice / delivery
note). Have your invoice ready and a list of your set values. Before you call, make bullet
points for the followin questions:
What device do I have?
When and where did I buy it?
What is not workin ?
What have I already tried?
Seite 11 von 14

Original Be ienungsanleitung Klappensteller HK2.0 10/2020
If you want to send the device to the service department for inspection / repair, please note
the followin :
Send the device as a simple parcel.
Include a copy of your invoice / delivery note.
Include a brief description of what is not workin and what you have already tried.
Please provide a phone number. / email address * where you can be reached for
any questions.
* no EBAY or Amazon email address
This ensures that the inspection / repair can be tackled quickly and that you et your de -
vice back quickly.
If the inspection / repair is char eable (e. . outside the uarantee period) you will first re-
ceive an estimate of the cost. The repair will then only be carried out after you have
a reed to this (transferred the amount).
Note! The guarantee is not vali if you are not able to provi e proof of purchase.
