When a button is release on the hand control the backlight will turn off and the LED will flash to indicate
the error message. This will be the same message displayed by the status light. This will last for 20
seconds.
Network:
General Information:
A network can consist of 10 nodes and a node can be either a hand control or a control box. All 10
nodes in a network can be sending at the same time with out interference. Each network has one
coordinator which is in charge of communications for that network. If the coordinator stops
working the whole network is down and communications is halted. A total of 16 networks can be
running simultaneous with out interference for a total of 160 nodes. Each node has a unique 32 bit
ID code for a total of 4.2 billion ID codes. When multiple networks are used one of the
coordinators becomes the master coordinator. If the master coordinator is disabled another
coordinator takes over the masters duties. If 2 coordinators are both set for master one of the
units will resign as master. Communications is not effected by these changes.
Single Network:
A single network is made up of 1 control box and 1or 2 hand controls. The hand control is learned
to only one control box.
Example Single network with 1 Hand Control:
Example Single network with 2 Hand Controls:
To create a simple network use “Making a Coordinator Procedure” and then “Hand Control to
Control Box Procedure”.
Independent Network:
An independent network is 1 to 16 Single Networks in communications range of each other.
Example: Two independent networks with 1 Hand Control:

To create a Dependent Network use “Making a Coordinator Procedure” then “Control Box to Coordinator
Control Box Procedure” and then use “Hand control to Control Box Procedure” for all hand controls. Note
all salve node control boxes must be reset before the unit can be learned.
Learning:
Control Box Learn Modes:
1.) A control box can be put into learn mode by pressing its learn button and then releasing after
the status light turns on. When released the status light will flash fast to indicate the unit is in
learn mode.
2.) After powering up a control box the unit can be put into learn mode by pressing and holding
the control box learn buttons on the hand control for 10 seconds. The hand control will do a
slow yellow flash of the LED while the buttons are pressed. The control box can only go into
this mode for 60 seconds after power. Control box status light will flash fast to indicate the unit
is in learn mode.
3.) A control box can be put into learn mode by pressing the button on the power down box for
less than 2 seconds and then releasing. The light on the power down box will turn yellow and
then start flashing.
Making a Coordinator Procedure
If a control boxes is displaying a code of 11 the control box has been reset and must be initialized.
Place the control box in learn mode buy using on the three methods described in “Control Box
Learn Modes” the status light will stay on solid until if finds all the coordinators about 5 seconds
then start flashing fast this will last for 20 seconds. When this is done the status light will start
flashing slow to indicate that it has become a coordinator to save time in learning a hand control
can be learned to the coordinator when the status light is flashing fast see “Hand Control to
Control Box Procedure”.
Hand Control to Control Box Procedure
Place the control box in learn mode see “Control Box Learn Modes” wait for the light to start
flashing fast. Press and hold the learn buttons on the hand control the light will start out red then
switch to flashing yellow 2 short pulse then turn on solid. When the light on the hand control turns
green the hand control has been learned. If no control box is in learn mode the light will timeout
after 15 seconds no learn will taken place.
Control Box to Coordinator Control Box Procedure
Place the coordinator control box in learn mode this is control box with the status light flashing
slow see “Control Box Learn Modes”. When the light starts flashing fast place the non coordinator
control box in learn mode see “Control Box Learn Modes”. The status light on the non coordinator
control box will start flashing fast and then stop when the unit has learned. The status light will
then start the flash pause sequence. The coordinator control box will switch to a slow flash after it
acknowledges the control box has been learned. If the status light does not switch to a slow flash
the learn button can be pressed to clear learn mode.
Note a control box can only be added to a network if its communications has been reset.
Hand Control to Slave Control Box Procedure
Place the control box in learn mode see “Control Box Learn Modes” and wait for the status light to
start flashing fast. Press and hold the learn buttons on the hand control the light will start out red
then switch to flashing yellow 2 short pulse and then turn on solid. When the light on the hand
control turns green the hand control has been learned release the buttons. The status light on the
control box will stop flashing fast when it acknowledges the hand control has been learned.
Reset Communications:
Communications can be reset by holding down the learn button and powering up the unit. A reset

from the control box for 20 seconds. See flash Code in Control Board Status Light for flash
information.
Control Box Diagnostics:
The control box will flash the status light when diagnostics has identified a fault condition. The
status light will flash the code for 20 seconds after the code has been cleared.
Vib Motor Faults:
Drive fail – this error is caused when the motor drive circuit fails to turn on. The fault code will be
displayed on the status light.
Circuit Open Fail – this is caused when the motor is off and the ATD has less than 1 volt. The fault
code will be displayed on the status light.
Switching Fail – this error is caused when the motor is running and the ATD voltage is not above 2
Volts.
Lift Motor Faults:
H-bridge shut down – this error is caused when the H-bridge has detected a fault. The fault is sent

Motor failed to turn on – this error is caused when the motor is running and the motor ATD input
has fallen below 1 Volt. The motor is turned off and favorite position or preset position is canceled.
The fault code will be displayed on the status light as long as the motor button is being pressed.
Motor failed to turn off – this error is caused when the motor is off and the motor ATD input has
fallen below 2 Volts. The 24V to the motors is turned off. The fault code will be displayed on the
status light. The power must be removed for this error to be cleared.
Circuit Open Fail – this error is caused when the motor limit switches can not be read. The fault
code will be displayed on the status light.
System Faults:
Power fail – this error is caused when the ATD input for the 24 volts has fallen below 18 volts.
The 24V power relay is turned off so all voltage to the motors has been turned off. The relay will
stay off for 20 seconds after the voltage rises above 18 volts. The fault code will be displayed on
the status light.
Power up fail – this error is caused when the unit is powering up the 24V is less than 22 volts or
the 12V is below 11 volts. The status light will stay on solid.
5V fail – this error is caused when the 5V power supply drops below 4 volts. The fault code will be
displayed on the status light.
12V fail – this error is caused when the 12V power supply drops below 11volts. The fault code will
be displayed on the status light.
Hand Control Find:
The find function is activated by press the lean button on the control box for 4 seconds at which
time the status light will start flashing code 54. The button can be released and the hand control
will start sounding its beeper after it receives the find command. The hand controls wakes up

length of time the button is pressed determines what function is active. From .5 to 2 seconds the
learn function will be activated. From 2 seconds to 5 seconds the find feather is active. This can
be seen in the power down light flashing a code of 54 with the yellow LED. If the time is held for
over 5 seconds the flat feature will start running and the LED will stop flashing the find code. The
time the button is held is determined by when the button is released. At that time the first 2
functions will start their execution. If a the find function or learn function is active it may be cleared
by pressing the power down button for .5 seconds to 2 seconds and releasing.
Power Down with power disconnected:
