Remote Control Connections
Remote connections are wired to the green 7-pin plug-in Phoenix terminal block on the rear of
the unit next to the power cord. The terminal block itself is provided in the accessory bag that
you will find in the shipping box. After you have made the connections to the terminal block,
plug it into the connector on the rear of the unit. Never solder (tin) wires before inserting in a
terminal block – solder creeps and you will eventually have loose connections!
The connections are shown below:

Up/Down XQ515uence Control Inputs
The XQ515 can be controlled by a DC voltage in the range 5V to 30V, by a contact closure (such
as a relay), or by a switch. In this manual the terms “momentary” and “latching” are used when
describing switches. A momentary switch is considered to be a switch which provides a
connection only while it is actually held pressed, and a latching switch is considered to be a
switch which remains in either the on or the off state (like a light switch). Momentary switches
are preferred for use with the XQ515 since multiple control locations can be used, and also
because some of the functions of the XQ515 are not available when a latching switch is used (see
programming section). Switches with gold contacts are recommended for the best long-term
reliability. The type of input is selected totally through programming, making the electrical
connections straightforward. The six control options are discussed below:
a)
DC Voltage: The XQ515 will power up when the voltage is present and power down
when there is no voltage. Connect the positive wire to the “up” input, and the ground (or
negative) wire to “common”. Program the input for “5-30 V dc”.
b)
Contact Closure: The XQ515 will power up when the contacts are closed and power
down when the contacts are open. Connect the two wires from the contacts to “up” and
“common”. Program the input for “Latching”
c)
Momentary Switch(es): The XQ515 will power up when a switch is pressed once and
power down when a switch is pressed a second time. Connect the two wires from the
switch(es) to “up” and “common”. Program the input for “Momentary”.
d)
Separate Up & Down Switches: The XQ515 will power up when the UP switch is
pressed and power down when the DOWN switch is pressed. Connect the two wires from
