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.
- 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.
Ensure cable is kept clear of fabric.
