4 WIRING

4.1 Power Options

Automate DC motor MTDCRF-TILT-1 is 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.

NOTE:

• Passthrough Tilt Motor MT01-4001-xxx002 comes supplied with a rechargeable battery pack.

Damage to shade may occur when operating motor prior to setting limits. Attention should be given.
Reversing motor direction using this method is only possible during initial set-up.

6.3 Set Limits

7.1 Adjust upper limit

7.2 Adjust lower limit

IMPORTANT

The bottom limit should be set ~ 1.38 in. (35mm) below the Ultra-Lock to disengage the auto lock mechanism when the shade is raised.

8 CONTROLLERS AND CHANNELS

If motor is in Tilt Mode, use following steps to change to Roller Mode.

11 ADJUSTING SPEED

11.1 Increase Motor Speed
NOTE: Repeating this step when at the fastest speed ENTERS Soft Stop Mode in MT01-4001-069001.

11.2 Decrease Motor Speed

NOTE: Repeating this step when at the slowest speed EXITS Soft Stop Mode in MT01-4001-069001.

12 . SLEEP MODE

If multiple motors are grouped on a single channel, Sleep Mode may be used to put all but 1 motor to sleep,
allowing programming of just the one motor that remains “Awake”. See page 6 for detailed P1 functions.

Enter Sleep Mode

Sleep mode is utilized to prevent a motor from incorrect configuration during other motor setup. Hold P1 button on the motor head

Exit Sleep Mode: Method 1

Exit sleep mode once the shade is ready.
Press and release P1 button on the motor head

Exit Sleep Mode: Method 2

Remove power and then re-power the motor.

13 TROUBLE SHOOTINGG

compatible charger
Insufficient charging from solar PV panel| Check connection and orientation of PV panel
Controller battery is discharged| Replace battery
Battery is inserted incorrectly into controller| 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
Charging failure| Check power supply to motor is connected and active
Motor beeps x10 when in use| Battery voltage is low| Recharge with a compatible charger
Cannot program a single motor (multiple motors respond)| Multiple motors are paired to the same channel| Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions. Use Sleep Mode to program individual motors.
