2 WIRING
2.1 Power options
AutomateTM 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 Acmeda
Rollease).
· 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.

Remedy
Power supply not plugged in.
Check motor to power cable connection and power plug.
Transmitter battery is discharged Replace battery
Battery is inserted incorrectly into transmitter
Check battery polarity
Motor is not responding
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 Move transmitter to a closer
transmitter
position
Power failure
Check power supply to motor is connected and active
Incorrect wiring
Check that wiring is connected correctly (refer to motor installation
instructions)
Replace batteries in battery wand
Motor beeps 10 times when in use Battery voltage is low.
-OR-
Recharge rechargable battery pack.
Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions
Cannot program a single Motor (multiple motors respond)
Multiple motors are paired to the same channel.
SYSTEM BEST PRACTICE – Provide an extra 15 channel controller in your multi motor projects, that provides individual control for each motor for programming purposes
Place all other motoprs into sleep mode (ref to P1 button function overview – Section 3)
