This is an internal power supply for
powering external devices &/or used for
initiating specific functions
(Extend/Retract 5 or Voltage Sensor 7).

5

EXTEND/

RETRACT

Initiates movement if lift is static, or

stops movement if lift is in motion.
Direction of travel will be opposite

of last direction of travel.

Function operates on momentary switch
only.

Operating range is 5 – 30 Volts AC or DC.

6

EXTEND/

RETRACT

COMMON

Used in conjunction with

Extend/Retract when using an

external power source to initiate

movement.

To Operate using Internal Power
Source
Connect terminals 3 & 6 with
Jumper Wire.  Connect
Momentary Switch to terminal 4.
Connect other line of Momentary
Switch to terminal 5.

To Operate using External Power
Source
Connect External Power Supply’s
Common to terminal 6.  Connect
initiating signal to terminal 5.

VOLTAGE

SENSOR

When terminal senses voltage, unit

will extend.

When terminal senses cessation of

voltage, unit will retract.

SERVICE

EXTEND

Extends unit to maximum limit,

bypassing normal-use travel setting.

Often used for servicing projectors

in ceiling lifts.

Momentary or Latching contact to
Ground terminals 3, 10, 13, or 20.

Feature not available on all models.

If using Latching Switch, be sure to
