MECHANISM 

QUICK-START GUIDE

Some Future Automation mechanisms may ship with the control box disconnected to prevent damage 

during transit. In order to operate the mechanism, the control box will need to reconnected, then have 

mains power applied along with the desired control method.

RECONNECTING THE CONTROL BOX

To reconnect the mechanism control box, follow the below steps:
1.  Make sure the power is disconnected from the control box.
2.  Remove the retaining screw and washer from the end of the control box to allow removal of the 

control box lid. (Image 1 Below).

3. 

Slide off the control box lid to reveal the control board inside.

4.  Locate the green connector on the end of the loom leading from the lift mechanism. This plug will 

have a small tag attached stating the correct connecting socket on the control board (e.g. “AC1”, 
“DC2”...) (Image 2 Below).

5.  Plug the green connector into the corresponding socket on the control board. This plug is handed 

and will only connect correctly one way. Do NOT force the connector into the socket, this can cause 
serious damage to the control board and mechanism.

6.  Route the wiring loom out of the end of the control box by inserting the black plastic inserts into the 

slots provided. (Image 3 Below).

7. 

Slide the control box cover back over the control board and replace the fixing screw and washer.

IMPORTANT 

For the mechanism to operate, the green three way safety connector with the loop of 

wire attached, must also be plugged into the end of the control box. (Image 4 above). 

If this connector is not plugged in, a bright red LED will be visible inside control board 

and the Input Confirmation Input LED will be permanently illuminated.
