Operating the FA-SYNC-4:
Using either the
toggle switch or Firgelli’s
2 Channel Remote Control Board
you can move the
actuators in and out. Even if the load is unevenly distributed across the actuators, they will all
move in synchronous.
The FA-SYNC-4 has the ability to store one
“memory” location. To set this memory location,
move the actuators to your desired position, then remove the black plastic slide at the top of
the control board. Press and hold the left-most momentary button, after several seconds you
will hear the relays click: you can now release the button. Move the actuators to a different
position. When the same momentary button is pressed and released quickly, the actuators will
automatically move to your preset memory location. To override this position with a new one
simply repeat the same steps.
LED Display Status:
➢
Green light: standby mode
➢
Flashing green light: actuators in motion
➢
Flashing orange light: calibrating the board
➢
Flashing red light: signals that the user is attempting to extend or retract the actuator
but the actuator is already either fully extended or retracted, respectively.
Troubleshooting:
➢
Always check wiring first for loose connections or short circuits; verify power source is a
reliable 12V capable of delivering at least 20A.
➢
The FA-SYNC-4 will fail to synchronize if the sensor signal from one or more actuators is
lost due to a bad connection or failure of sensor circuitry. The sensing time is 2 seconds.
➢
If actuators begin to move out of synchronous, or stop moving despite contrary
commands, check the wiring and then repeat the calibration sequence.
