Removing The Pb16 Actuator; Storage - Martek Chicken Switch Instruction Manual

The magnet should be firmly against the switchgear door. If the magnet is not set
firmly against the door, it will likely not have enough holding power to stay on the
door when actuated.
STEP 5 – When ready to operate, stand away at a safe distance, turn the power switch
on the hand-held controller to the ON position, hold the "ENABLE" button, and push and
hold the "ACTIVATE" button on the controller to extend the plunger. Release the button
and the plunger will retract.
The green "Enabled" LED should light when the "ENABLE" button is held. The "Moving"
LED should light when the actuator is being commanded to move. If the battery voltage
is low, the yellow "Low Bat" LED will flash and the actuator will not operate.
The LED on the actuator will light "Red" when it is extending and "Green" when it is
retracting.
