Page 36: Dip Switch Settings
Back to contents Dip Switch Settings... - Page 37 Back to contents Dip switch settings The dip switches are used to adjust the Current required to lift the curtain. Dip switch Current limit % 100% It is important to set the switches correctly, if set too low the motor will stall, too high the motor will pull the bottom rail off the curtain when retracted.
- Page 38 Back to contents Dip Switches Cont. This balance is very important and if not enough current is applied the motor will stall prior to a full retract, if too much power is applied the bottom bar will hit the head box with too much power and possibly detach from the curtain. Careful setting and balancing is very easy and very important.
