2.0 Safety Information
ALWAYS connect the control cable to the actuator
BEFORE installing the Chicken Switch®.
2.1 Finger pinch points
Keep fingers clear of the bottom of the actuator
when the actuator is near a ferrous surface.
2.2 Strong magnets
The holding magnets are very strong. Keep magnetically-
sensitive objects such as watches or computer
disks away from the bottom of the actuator.
3.0 Battery Requirements
• Eight (8) AA alkaline cells are required. Carefully observe
polarity when installing cells.
• Rechargeable batteries are not recommended.
3.1 Battery Life
• A set of fresh alkaline cells should give hundreds of
operations.
• The Chicken Switch® is designed as a portable device.
It is not designed to remain with the control unit
connected to the actuator for extended periods of
time. To do so will deplete a fresh set of batteries in
approximately four to five days.
3.2 Battery Replacement
• ALWAYS disconnect the control cable before replacing
batteries to avoid possible static damage of the
electronics!
• Turn the control station upside down, remove the
endplate retaining knob. Remove the endplate and
slide the cover out as shown below.
3.3 To connect/disconnect batteries:
3.4 CAUTION: Static Discharge Potential
• To avoid possible damage to electronic components
disconnect the control cable before replacing batteries.
