  • Page 8 SETUP, CONT’D. Installing the AVC-1550-PL-PS (applies to this model only) If you choose to install the AVC-1550-PL-PS yourself, you can use the connection diagram for AVC- 2050-PL-PS. The CAS-1530 wiring harness plugs into J1 on the PCB-1273. CAS-1529 is provided to plug into J3. The “Ok to move” signal drives a 12VDC relay on the PCB-1273. J3 includes diodes to avoid reverse polarity on the connection.

    TROUBLESHOOTING If your control board has jumper J5 on it, you can test your height control without cutting by following the steps below. If you have an older style control board without jumper J5, or if you prefer to test by cutting rather than opening the control box, skip this test and use the instructions for the cutting test.
