The IR receivers that state a length (e.g. 24”, 72”) come with the phone plug on the end of the cord.
The more permanently mounted “wall mount” and “J-box” (for installation to look like a wall switch) don’t
come with cords. We have phone cords available in any length for your needs. They’re available on
the store page if you need.
Gen4 4-wire RF control
Some folks like the no-pointing reliability of RF control,
but they still wanted more control options and flexibility
that the motor control box brings. For these applications,
we have an RF module that simply plugs into the “eye”
port of the control box, as well as an RF remote.
Gen4 4-wire motor control box wall-switched, or relay controlled
For dry contact switching, there are three
terminals on the side of the motor control
box. Common use for these include:
1. Wiring a wall switch. In this case,
you’ll need a momentary wall
switch, the kind that springs back to
center. The motor control box only
wants to see a brief closing of
contacts common/open for screen
up
, and common/close for screen
down
.
2. Wiring in relay triggering from a
universal remote system. If you’re
using relays, program them for 0.5
seconds or less. The control box
expects momentary closure. If after actuation it sees the circuit closed still (or again), it will stop
the actuation prematurely.
3. Hotwire controlling the screen. Simply connect a
small gauge wire into the “common” terminal, and
then touch the other end of the wire to either the
“open” terminal (screen
up
) or the “closed”
terminal (screen
down
).
The wiring you need can be phone or signal cable,
because there is no current or power travelling through
the circuit. The box is simply looking for “short” or
“open”. Simply poke a narrow standard electronics-type
screwdriver into the upper cavity and press down. This
will force the terminal spring open, allowing you to insert
the wire.
