SKYFOLD CLASSIC, ZENITH AND MIRAGE RETRACTABLE WALLS
15
COMPONENTS
Upper (Open) and Lower (Closed) Limit Controls
Your Skyfold wall stops automatically upon reaching its upper limit (fully open) position or
its lower limit (fully closed) position. There is no need for the operator to carefully time the
release of the operator switches. These limits are set by the Skyfold installer at the time of
installation.
AV / Dry Contact for Linked Building Systems
For integration with other building systems, your Skyfold wall system is equipped with dry
contacts identifying when the wall is in the “up” or “down” position. The dry contacts are
sourced from the control box and are labelled as such (see
Figure 6
).
A maximum power supply of 24 volts is provided by the A/V system that is to be controlled
by these contacts. Skyfold provides a connector plug and a 6” (150 mm) long extension
cord to the A/V dry contacts found on the outside of the control box (see
Figure 6). The
extension cord comes with a male and female connector. A separate female connector is
supplied for the connection to the A/V system. The male connector on the extension cord
has the following wire designations:
• Black #1 – Wall Down Com1
• White #2 – Wall Down Dry Contact 250mA
• Red #3 – Wall Up Com1
• Green #4 – Wall Up Dry Contact 250mA
Using 18 or 22-gauge wires, the electrician connects the A/V system to the pins in the
separate female connector. Access to the interior of the control box is not required for this
hook-up and a manufacturer’s seal deters unauthorized entry.
Warning
➢
Only qualified Skyfold personnel are authorized to perform any type of
maintenance and/or repair work on your Skyfold system. Unauthorized
work will void the Skyfold warranty, as stated in the warranty section
of this owner’s manual.

Warning
➢
Heat generated by lights
inside the ceiling pocket can
cause the Skyfold panels to
delaminate. Lights that are
located inside the Skyfold
ceiling pocket must be turned
on only when the wall is
completely down and never
when the wall is partially or
fully retracted into the pocket.
