DO NOT TRY TO MOVE THE MOTOR MANUALLY WITHOUT POWER. MOTOR ACTS A BRAKE. IF YOU TRY TO ROTATE
SHAFT OF MOTOR MANUALLY MIGHT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE METAL GEARS OF THE MOTOR. USE ONLY THE
HAND CONTROLLER.

Power Supply

The controller is fitted with a standard 2.1mm centre positive DC power connection which powers on the controller. It can accept
DC 11-15V. Please use a power supply that can provide DC 12V-13.8V / 1A (at least).
Insert the 2.1mm plug on the DC power cable. Controller will initialize (led will fast blink 3 times) and the green led with turn solid
on after 4 seconds. This means that firmware was loaded successfully and controller is fully operational.
Unit has been designed with reverse polarity protection. If you accidentally reverse the DC power source polarity
the unit will cut off the power.
Temperature Sensor Socket
The external probe is temperature measurement device which is attached to the controller. It comes with length of 0.6m cable
with a RJ45 plug. Probe measures temperatures from -55°C to +125°C.
Accuracy of the probe is ±0.5°C from -10°C to +85°C. The controller instantly detects during startup the presence of the probe
and requests temperature readings every 30 seconds.
When using multiple controllers and probes, the reported temperature may differ slightly between units due to small differences
between individual sensor readouts. This does not affect the operation of the units, as they respond to measured temperature
change, not to the actual temperature.
Please notice that you have to connect the sensor before you power on the controller. You can also connect it later
but you will need to wait for 15-30 seconds for sensor detection and calibration.
External Connector (EXT)
The controller is fitted with a RJ45 Female Jack for auxiliary usage. In this socket you can ONLY plug the temperature sensor or
the optional Hand Controller.
DO NOT CONECT ANY MOTOR OUTPUT OF AN EXTERNAL CONTROLLER SUCH AS
ULTIMATE POWERBOX OR DUAL MOTOR FOCUS INTO THE RJ45 PORT.
THIS MIGHT CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE
