FCB-2 Operating Manual This is the instruction manual for the FIRGELLI FCB-2 LCD screen control box. The FCB-2 control box is designed to control up to four linear actuators, accommodating both actuators with built-in feedback systems (such as hall or optical sensors) and those without feedback.

TIMER CONTROL OPTIONS 1. Time of day controller option - set the actuator(s) to open and close at a certain time of day or day of the week. 2. Set up to 5 different program times - have the actuator(s) open/close up to 5 times in a 24-hr period.

5. Once the actuator(s) are wired up and the power is connected, the control box will turn on and you will see the FIRGELLI Logo on the loading screen. Note: If you have trouble pressing the buttons on the LCD screen you can use the end of a pen, the eraser end of a pencil, or similar sized item to accurately tap the buttons.

7. In the ACTUATOR SET menu select # of ACT’S to set the number of actuators you are using. 8. Also, in the ACTUATOR SET menu, press FEEDBACK to set the controller to either “FEEDBACK ON” mode or “FEEDBACK OFF” mode. If your actuators have built-in Feedback, then this needs to be turned on.
Note: Remember even though the stroke is 6” you still have to enter a 0 before the 6, because the system allows 4 digits in total and even zero’s need to be entered. 11. ACTUATOR SET - Speed and Limit settings. Also, in the ACTUATOR SET menu you can adjust the speed (extend and retract speeds separately), as well as, move the limits for both the retracted and extended positions.

2. Press TIMER OPERATION to enter the TIME SET menu, select TIME MODE, then TIMER 1. You will be prompted to enter the “Extend Time Set”. The times should be set in the 24hr clock format, and if the first digit is not required you must first enter the zero button. So, a 9am start time will be entered as 09:00:00 and a 1pm start time is entered as 13:00:00.
7. To stop the programs running: press the TIMER OPERATION button then press EN/DISABLE MODE. Simply press the timer number you want to disable. Those highlighted in yellow are active and those not highlighted are inactive. NOTE: When a timer is enabled you can still over-ride it by using the toggle switch (if installed) or the on-screen MANUAL OPERATION button to move the actuator.

Nothing happens when you press a button on the remote fob: Fob hasn’t been paired to the FCB-2. In the “System Settings” menu select the “Remotes” button and follow the instructions on the screen to add additional remotes.
