Mode Description DIP Switch Setting
1
Maintained
Motor Action
(Default - as
shipped)
Required Switch Type = SPDT Momentary (with Center OFF)
Motor moves to limit when an Open or Closed button is pressed and released.
Single Press (while moving)
If a button is pressed and released one time while the motor is moving, the
motor will stop.
2
SOBR
(Stop On
Button
Release)
Required Switch Type = SPDT Momentary (with Center OFF)
Motor moves toward limit as long as an Open or Close button is pressed and
held.
Motor stops when button is released.
3
Momentary
Action
(Latch and
Run)
Required Switch Type = SPDT Momentary (with Center OFF)
Motor moves toward limit as long as an Open or Close button is pressed and
held.
If the button is released within 1.5 seconds, then the motor stops.
If the button is held for more than 1.5 seconds, then the motor wil latch and
run to limit.
4
Sequencing
Action
(Single Pole
Single Throw)
Required Switch Type = SPST Momentary “Doorbell” Single Press
When connected to the “Close” pin;
A momentary contact and release of a switch will move the Motor towards the
limit. The motor will stop at the limit unless the switch is pressed again while
moving. In this instance the motor will stop.
Subsequent button presses will move the motor in the opposite direction. This
results in a “sequencing” action, allowing the user to control the motor to go
Up, Stop, Down, Stop using successive button presses.
When connected to the “Open” pin;
A maintained contact will run the motor in the Open direction. A broken
connection will run the motor in the Close direction. This allows the user tp
itilize a common maintained light switch to operate the motor to the Open
and Close limits, but the motor cannot be stopped in between. (It should be
possible for a user to perform a “quick toggle” of the switch - Off, then On
again in less than 0.5 seconds, to achieve Stop).
If a magnetic window sensor switch is connected to this Open pin and the
contact is maintained (requires a normally closed magnetic switch) the motor
will Open and remain there until the magnetic switch is retuned to “broken
contact position”.
5
Tilt Mode 1
Typically used
for shades with
small vanes.
Required Switch Type = SPDT Momentary (with Center OFF)
Single Press
Motor tilts toward limit (using 0.10 second pulses) when Open or Close button
is pressed and held.
Motor stops when button is released, or motor reaches a limit.
If a button is pressed and held for >1.5 seconds then released, the motor will
run to limit. Pressing the button again while the motor is moving will stop the
motor.
6
Tilt Mode 1
Typically used
for shades with
medium vanes.
Required Switch Type = SPDT Momentary (with Center OFF)
Motor moves to limit when an Open or Closed button is pressed and released.
Single Press
As pere Mode 5, but 0.25 second pulses.
7
Tilt Mode 1
Typically used
for shades with
large vanes.
Required Switch Type = SPDT Momentary (with Center OFF)
Motor moves to limit when an Open or Closed button is pressed and released.
Single Press
As per Mode 5, but 0.50 second pulses.

3.1 Standard Dry Contact Switches
3.2 RJ45 Dry Contact Switches
Provides basic control of UP, DOWN and STOP.
Refer to DIP Switch Mode table for additional functions to enable:
• Bell Press (SPST) Switch
• Magnetic Reed Switch
• Shades with vanes (Small, Medium, Large)
• UP, DOWN and STOP function (eg. Latch and Run)
Adds additional option for intermediate pre-set positions.
1. Connect all motors and switches to the outputs of the controller, ensuring that cables are
restrained within the nominated cable knockout.
2. Select the Switch MODE
NOTES: There are 2x Switch MODE DIP switch gangs on the PCB:
• SWITCHES: Mode for all individual input switches.
• MASTER: Mode for all master inputs.
3. Select the Motor Group
NOTES:
• Each DIP switch gang corresponds to an individual switch input.
• Each switch present on the gang corresponds to a motor.
• By moving a switch to the ON position, the corresponding motor is added to the motor
group for the given switch.
• Inputs on a master terminal control all 4x motors.
4. Complete the mains power connection to the controller, ensuring that cables are restrained
within the nominated cable knockout.
5. Press and hold the Motor Select Button for 3 seconds.
NOTE: If the motor is moving in the wrong direction, disconnect the mains power supply and
reverse the L1 and L2 wires for each impacted motor.
Set up is now complete.
1. Complete all steps for the standard dry contact switches (section 3.1).
2. Press and hold the PROGRAM button for 3 seconds.
NOTE: This initiates a motor calibration mode. All connected motors will move to their upper
limit, lower limit, then return to the upper limit. Once completed, the RJ45 dry contact switch
can connveniently move the shade to intermediate pre-set positions.
Set up is now complete.

4 ADVANCED SETUP & FUNCTIONS
4.1 Daisy Chain
4.2 Setting New Pre-Set Positions
4.3 Resetting Pre-Set Positions
Each 4CH motor controller contains 2x master dry contact cage
clamp terminal blocks and 2x master RJ45 ports. Each respective
terminal is wired parallel to each other, meaning that a dry con-
tact connection received on one terminal (eg. UP shorted to GND
on Master 1) will be passed through to the other terminal (eg. UP
signal also presnt on Master 2).
To setup the 4CH motor controller for daisy chaining, simply con-
nect the master port of one controller to the spare maste rport of
another.
1. Move the shade, or group of shades to the desired position.
2. On a switch that is paired to the shade group, press the desired pre-set position button (eg.
pre-set 1) on the dry contact switch for 3 seconds. The current position will now be saved for
the motors.
To reset the pre-set positions, press the ‘PROGRAMMING’ button for 3 seconds. The motor con-
troller will now re-calibrate to the limits of each shade and restore all pre-set positions to their
default values.
NOTES:
• Master daisy chain connection is for dry contact only.
• ARC Serial Commands are not transmitted via daisy chain.
• A Signal received on the master port/s will control all 4x motors.
• It is recommended to daisy chain using the same type of switch being used to control the
motors (ie. Don’t daisy chain using the RJ45 port if standard dry contact switches are being
used).
Max Distance for Daisy Chain: 1000m using 18-gauge (1mm2) wire.
Max Quantity of Controllers on Bus: 32 controllers.
