2.1 Power Options
Ensure cable is kept clear of fabric.
Ensure antenna is kept straight and away from metal objects.
Automate DC motors are powered from a 12V DC power source. AA Battery wands, re-chargeable battery
packs and A/C power supplies are available, with a variety of quick connect extension cords. For centralized
installations, power supply range can be extended with 18/2 wire (not available through Rollease Acmeda).
• During operation, if voltage drops to less than 10V, the motor will beep 10 times to indicate a power
supply issue.
• Motor will stop running when the voltage is lower than 7V and it will resume again when the voltage is
greater than 7.5V.

9 TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Cause Remedy
Motor is not responding
A / C power supply not plugged in. Check motor to power cable
connection and AC plug.
Battery in wand are depleted Replace 8xAA alkaline batteries.
Power failure Check power supply to motor is
connected and active
Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery
Battery is inserted incorrectly
into transmitter Check battery polarity
Radio interference/shielding
Ensure transmitter is positioned
away from metal objects and the
aerial on motor or receiver is kept
straight and away from metal
Receiver distance is too far from
transmitter
Move transmitter to a closer
position
Incorrect wiring
Check that wiring is connected
correctly (refer to motor
installation instructions)
Unable to adjust or set limits. Remote is in a locked state. Change remote status to an
unlocked state
Cannot program a single Motor
(multiple motors respond)
Multiple motors are paired to the
same channel.
Always reserve an individual
channel for programming
functions
SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE - Provide
an extra 15 channel remote in your
multi motor projects, that provides
individual control for each motor
for programming purposes
Place all other motors into sleep
mode (ref to P1 function overview
- section 3.2 and 10.1)
