FA-SYNC-4 Synchronous Control Board User Manual

The Firgelli Automation FA-SYNC-4 Synchronous Control Board allows you to move between

two and four actuators in step with the same speed irrespective of load. Unsynchronized

actuators can lead to bending loads which is likely to be disastrous for both the load and the

actuator. Common applications include, but are not limited to: wine cellar trapdoors, RV roof

lifts, tonneau covers, and table lifts.

This board only works with a select few actuators with inbuilt feedback sensors. Actuators must

be of the same type, stroke length, and force. Using different actuators will not work.

Compatible actuators:

Bullet 36 Cal, Bullet 50 Cal, Optical Series 200lb, and Optical Series 400lb

Not compatible:

Bullet Mini, Bullet 23 Cal, Optical Series 35lb, and all other types of actuator

Unsynchronized actuators can lead to bending loads which is likely to be disastrous for both the load and the actuator.
Page 2 The next two-pin, green terminal block plug (labeled VIN & GND) is for a 12V/24V power input. This control board requires at least a 12V at 20 amps when all four actuators are connected. As such, we recommend using Firgelli’s AC to DC Power Supply 12V 30A. WARNING: do not reverse the polarity of the input voltage;...
Page 3 ➢ The actuators will fully extend, pause, and then fully retract. Once retracted you will again hear the relays click several times. ➢ The FA-SYNC-4 board is now calibrated and your actuators can be installed in your application. The control board will remember the calibration settings even if power is...
