Without the remote handset
1. Connect Pin 6 of connector J2 to 0V.
2. With J2 Pin 6 connected to 0V, power up the slider.
3. The slider performs a self-test by moving from one position to the other. If the slider does not move or complete, then
move the slider manually from one end of travel to the other until it is no longer attempting to move.
Note: J2 Pin 6 will need to be shorted to 0V during manual actuation.
4. Connect J2 Pin 6 to 3.3V.
5. A frequency search will now be performed. To avoid overheating the motor, a pause of 1 second is programmed after
each move.
6. Connect J2 Pin 6 to 0V. The slider stops moving and the optimized resonating frequency is stored until the next
frequency search is requested.
7. Power down the slider
8. Wait for 1 second for power supply line to go to 0V.
9. Power up the slider. The device will now complete a self test.
Simultaneous Movement of Devices
If more than one device is connected to the comms bus, movement of the devices can be synchronized. This can be achieved
either by using the handset, or by software. See the protocol document for details on how to use the ‘ga’ message to synchronize
moves. If using the handset, synchronized movement is hard wired, so if multiple devices are connected, pressing the FWD or
BWD buttons will move all devices.
