T-Max® 1A and 3A Remote Systems
In single sunbed installations, the T-Max® 1A and 3A can offer the
same control as the T-Max® Manager, eliminating the need for a
Manager. If you’re using a 1A in this manner, it must have a chip
labelled “master” installed on its circuit board. The remote control
bypass plug must not be used in this configuration. The 3A may be
used as a “master” with no modification.
After you have set the T-Max® 1A’s, or 3A’s, address to “0” (refer to
your T-Max® user’s guide) and the sunbed’s address to “1” (see right),
simply connect the RJ-22 modular
cables, described in the T-Max® user’s
guide, directly into either port located
on the back of the sunbed and either
port on the back of the T-Max® 1A or
3A. See
figure 2
.
Setting the address manually
Before connecting your sunbed to the T-Max® Manager or T-Max® 1A
or 3A, the address of your sunbed must first be set. Set the address man-
ually as described below.
Setting the Address
1.
Make sure the sunbed display is showing “0”.
2.
Press the red stop button and, without releasing it, press the
green timer button and hold both for three seconds. The display
should indicate an address number from “1” to “255”.
3.
If you are using a T-Max® 1A or 3A as a “master” remote, the
address of the sunbed must be set to “1”. If you are using a T-
Max® Manager each sunbed must be assigned a different
address. To adjust the address, press the green timer button to
count up until the desired number (from 1 to 128) is achieved.
Addresses 252 to 255 are not normally used.
4.
Press the red stop button to return to the normal display mode.
NOTE: A T-Max® 1A with a
“master” chip can be substituted
for a 3A in

Remote systems using a Control Relay
Most non-T-Max® remote systems control the sunbed by the use of a
relay. The relay operates the sunbed by connecting and disconnect-
ing a pair of wires leading from the sunbed. Refer to the user’s man-
ual provided with your remote system to determine if it operates in this
way. To connect your sunbed to this type of system a remote interface
kit is required. Contact your place of purchase to obtain the kit.

details a typical connection. Follow the instructions provided with
the kit and from the remote’s manual to make the necessary connec-
tions.
Remote Connections
Your sunbed incorporates advanced circuitry allowing it to connect
and communicate with most remote control systems. If a remote sys-
tem is to be used, first determine whether the remote system is a T-
Max® System or a standard remote system operating with a control
relay. Follow the appropriate instructions for your system type.
T-Max® Products
The T-Max® remote systems offer the ultimate in sunbed control, while
allowing the tanner easy straightforward operation. Your sunbed is con-
figured to directly connect to this system. The circuitry inside your
sunbed eliminates the need for the T-Max® 1A or 3A when connecting
to the T-Max® Manager series. Your sunbed supports the auto address-
ing feature of the latest T-Max® Manager models and the following
parameters: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 15. See your T-Max® manual for descrip-
tions of these parameters and how they function.
T-Max® Manager Remote System
This system is ideal for multiple sunbed installations. Simply connect
the RJ-22 modular cable(s), described in the T-Max® Manager manu-
al, into the remote port(s) located on the back of your sunbed and fol-
low the instructions that came with your remote system, noting
figure
1
. If you have an older T-Max® Manager that doesn’t support auto
addressing, set the address of each sunbed manually as described in
Setting the address manually
. You can place your sunbed at any loca-
tion in the series.
The remote connection is not designed to supply or accept high
voltage, nor can it provide power to an external timer. The
sunbed’s remote interface circuitry operates on 5 volts, attempting
to connect it to any higher voltages will damage the sunbed as
well as void your warranty.
