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.
