How to use the wireless controller to remotely control the linear actuator speed?

Posted by CaryRS on

This receiver is a wireless controller for DC motor or linear actuator, it and the transmitter form a wireless transmitter receiver system. It can be used for rolling blinds / doors, projection screens, awnings, winches, conveyors or other equipment with brushed DC motors or linear actuators.
If you connect a brushed DC motor to this receiver, you can operate the motor to rotate in positive or reversal direction by the remote control. If you connect a DC linear actuator to this receiver, you can operate the linear actuator to extend or retract by the remote control. You can also adjust the speed of the motor or linear actuator with a knob on the receiver or two buttons on the transmitter.
You can connect two limit switches, optoelectronic switches, proximity switches, or hall switches (NPN normally open type) to the receiver and use them to stop the motor or the linear actuator. You also can connect a manual switch to the receiver and use it to control the motor or the linear actuator.

Operation
1) Setting Interlocking mode: Turn off all bits of the dip switch.
The operation by the transmitter CP-6:
Press the button 1 on the transmitter: Motor rotates in positive direction, or linear actuator extends outward.
Press the button 2 on the transmitter: Motor rotates in reversal direction, or linear actuator inward retracts.
Press the button 3 on the transmitter: Motor or linear actuator stops.
Press and hold the button 4 on the transmitter: The speed of the motor or linear actuator will gradually speed up.
Press and hold the button 6 on the transmitter: The speed of the motor or linear actuator will gradually slow down.
The button 5 is useless.

2) Setting Momentary mode: Turn on the third bit of the dip switch.
The operation by the transmitter CP-6:
Press and hold the button 1 on the transmitter: Motor rotates in positive direction, or linear actuator extends outward.
Release the button 1: Motor or linear actuator stops.
Press and hold the button 2 on the transmitter: Motor rotates in reversal direction, or linear actuator inward retracts.
Release the button 2: Motor or linear actuator stops.
Press and hold the button 4 on the transmitter: The speed of the motor or linear actuator will gradually speed up.
Press and hold the button 6 on the transmitter: The speed of the motor or linear actuator will gradually slow down.
The button 5 is useless.

Adjust the speed of the linear actuator with the knob on the receiver
You can twist “Adjustable potentiometer” to adjust the speed of the motor or linear actuator.
Turn the knob clockwise, the speed will gradually speed up.
Turn the knob counterclockwise, the speed will gradually slow down.

Limit control terminals
The receiver has limit control terminals, and you can connect external devices (with normally open contact), such as limit switches, optoelectronic switches, proximity switches, or hall switches (NPN normally open type) to limit terminals, then use them to stop the motor or the linear actuator.
For example, you can connect a normally open limit switch to terminals <Sensor 1-> and <Limit input 1>, and connect another normally open limit switch to terminals <Sensor 2-> and <Limit input 2>.
When motor rotates in positive direction, or linear actuator extends outward, if a limit switch is activated, the motor or linear actuator will stop automatically.
When motor rotates in reversal direction, or linear actuator inward retracts, if another limit switch is activated, the motor or linear actuator will stop automatically.

Wired control terminals
The receiver has wired control terminals, and you can connect external devices (with normally open contact), such as manual switches to wired control terminals, then use them to stop the motor or the linear actuator.
For example, you can connect two manual switches to wired control terminals <Signal ->, <Signal input 1>, <Signal -> and <Signal input 2> according to following wiring diagram.
When you press and hold a manual switch, it will connect two terminals <Signal -> and <Signal input 1>, the motor rotates in positive direction, or the linear actuator extends outward. When you release the manual switch, motor or linear actuator stops.
When you press and hold another manual switch, it will connect two terminals <Signal -> and <Signal input 2>, the motor rotates in reversal direction, or the linear actuator inward retracts. When you release the manual switch, motor or linear actuator stops.
