LA Dual Control Each Kit Contains the Following Components: • • • • • • (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) (1) Control Unit Control unit wire harness W ired 3-button switch 3-button switch wire harness Double-sided tape Mounting hardware Optional Accessories: • • 10’ Linear actuator cable extension harness (part no: LA-EXTHARN) Linear actuators 2”, 4”, 6”, 8”, 10”, 12” (actuator must have a potentiometer) Explanation / Overview: This unit can control 1 or 2 actuators – individually, in sequence, or simultaneously.
LA Dual Control To move actuator extension tube in and out: 1. Press buttons 2 & 3 at the same time to make the actuator extend. 2. Press buttons 1 & 2 at the same time to make the actuator retract. To program preset positions 1, 2, and 3: 3. Position the actuator extension tube to where you would like Preset #1 to be loca ted. OR 4. Press and hold the number 1 button for 5 seconds. a. The LED will flash to indicate the setting has been learned and stored. 5 seconds 5.
LA Dual Control 8. Press and hold the number 3 button for 5 seconds. a. The LED will flash to indicate the setting has been learned and stored. 5 seconds Operation Notes: • • • • • • • • The control unit will remember the preset positions after its power is removed. Programming a new preset position will overwrite any previous preset position stored for that combination of actuator and button number. The presets can be in any position throughout the stroke of the actuator.
LA Dual Control DIP Switch Settings: Refer to the drawing above showing which DIP switch is which (switches numbered 1 – 4). After changing DIP switch settings, you should cycle the power to the LA -Dual-Control for the change to take effect. DIP Function Action Reason/Examples Switch The unit will operate only If you want to control Operates only when ON when the yellow ignition items when the ignition ignition IS present. wire receives +12VDC. is ON.
LA Dual Control Steps to program and run actuators individually: 1. Connect both actuators to the Dual Controller a. Can also perform this function with just one actuator connected 2. Connect the Dual Controller to power 3. Set all DIP switches to the OFF position 4. Do not connect the yellow ignition wire to power 5. Apply power to the controller 6. Move the 3-position slide switch to position 1 7. See the section on Operation / Programming (above) to input up to 3 set points for actuator 1 into memory 8.
LA Dual Control c. If both actuators are not at the programmed START or END position (if button 2 has been pressed) i. Pressing button 1 will complete the c ycle – moving both actuators back to the programmed START position ii.
LA Dual Control Mounting: The control unit and the wired 3 -button switch must be mounted out of the weather to avoid moisture (they are not waterproof). The wired 3-button switch can be mounted in a variety of ways. Below you will find some mounting options. Use the supplied double-sided tape to mount the switch to any flat surface. Use the supplied mounting bolts and support bracket for a more secure mounting option.
