- Wired control via a touch control handle
- Wireless control via a remote
- The LED display on the control handle and remote control will display the stroke position in real time
- Six touch function buttons: ▲, ▼, 1, 2, 3 and R
- Buttons ▲ and ▼ are used to operate the linear actuators extension and retraction
- Buttons 1, 2 and 3 are used to automatically operate the linear actuators to three pre-memorized positions
- Button R is the reset button and is used to reset the system in case of an error
- With a reset button and pairing button
- When linear actuators move close to the end position, they will automatically slow down to protect themselves
- When linear actuators are fully retracted, they will retain 1MM of travel to protect themselves
Introduction
If you want to use multiple linear actuators to raise and lower an equipment, for example two, four or more electric actuators. Since the high-speed DC motors in electric actuators cannot run at exactly the same speed, so the movement speed of the electric actuator will also be different. When multiple electric actuators work at the same time, their actual speeds cannot be exactly the same. In this case, we can use a synchronous controller to operate multiple linear actuators to rise or fall synchronously. They work completely in sync without any difference.
Working Principle
If you want to use a synchronization controller to operate two or more linear actuators fully synchronously, you will need to add built-in Hall effect sensors for each linear actuator. And when you purchase Hall effect sensors along with linear actuators, we will install Hall effect sensors in the linear actuators during production for you. When two or more linear actuators are running together, Hall sensor will send Hall signals to the synchronization controller, and the controller will adjust the running speed of each linear actuator, so that all linear actuators run at the exact same speed.

Connection
1) Use signal lines to connect the CAN-L and CAN-H terminals of the
master controller to the CAN-L and CAN-H terminals of the slave
controller.
2) Plug the touch control handle into the Hand Set port of the master
controller. (Note: If the control handle is plugged into the Hand Set
port of the slave controller, it will not function.)
3) As shown in the diagram, connect four linear actuators to channels
CH1, CH2, CH3, and CH4 on the master controller, and then connect the
remaining two linear actuators to channels CH1 and CH2 on the slave
controller. Be sure to insert two terminals of each actuator into the
corresponding two ports of each channel.
4) Connect the positive pole of DC power supply to the terminal <+> of
the two controllers, and connect the negative pole of DC power supply to
the terminal <-> of the two controllers.
How to Set the Control Mode
The controller has two selectable control modes, interlocking mode and
momentary mode. You can switch the control modes as follows:
Press the pairing button on the controller three times in a row.
Operation
1. Operation via the touch control handle:
Attention: The handle is operated by touch control. The touch
sensitivity can be automatically calibrated when powered on for the
first time. Hands are prohibited from touching the handle when powered
on to prevent interference with the sensitivity calibration and affect
the operating sensitivity.
1) Press and hold the ▲ button of the control handle, all linear
actuators extend outward at the same time; Release the button, all
linear actuators stop at the same time.
2) Press and hold the ▼ button of the control handle, all linear
actuators retract inward at the same time; Release the button, all
linear actuators stop at the same time.
3) Press any button 1, 2, or 3 on the control handle, all linear
actuators will automatically move to the position memorized by that
button and then automatically stop.
Note: You will need to first memorize three positions into these three
buttons.
4) The LED display on the control handle will display the stroke
position data in real time. For example, the number 03.5 means that the
linear actuators have reached the stroke position of 35MM.
2. Operation via remote control:
2.1 When the controller is operating in momentary control mode:
1) Press and hold the button ▲ of the remote control, all linear
actuators extend out at the same time; Release the button, all linear
actuators stop at the same time.
2) Press and hold the button ▼ of the remote control, all linear
actuators retract inward at the same time; Release the button, all
linear actuators stop at the same time.
2.2 When the controller is operating in interlocking control mode:
1) Press the button ▲ of the remote control, all linear actuators extend
out at the same time, they will reach the maximum stroke at the same
time and stop automatically.
2) Press the button ▼ of the remote control, all linear actuators
retract inward at the same time, they will fully retract at the same
time and stop automatically.
3) During operation, you can press the stop button or any button of the
remote control to stop all linear actuators at the same time.
The LED display on the remote control will display the real time stroke
position data of the linear actuators. For example, if the LED display
shows UP 29.5 cm, it means the linear actuators has been extended to the
stroke position of 295mm, or if it shows DN 20.0 cm, it means the linear
actuators has been retracted to the stroke position of 200mm.
How to Memorize three Stroke Positions
1) The controller can memorize total three stroke positions, and each
button memorizes one stroke position.
2) First operate six linear actuators to the first suitable stroke
position that you need to store, then press and hold the button 1 of the
control handle for about 5-6 seconds, the stroke value on the LED
display will flash twice. This means that the current stroke position is
already stored in button 1.
3) You can continue to store the other two stroke positions into the
button 2 and 3 by following the operation above.
Reset Function
When the LED display on the control handle shows the fault code, you
need to reset the system as follows.
Reset operation: Press and hold the <R> button of the control handle or
the <Reset> button on the master controller, until all linear actuators
are reset to the bottom, and the LED display on the control handle shows
"00.0", then release the button.
How to Pair the Remote Control to the Controller
Notice: We have paired the remote control to the controller before
leaving the factory. If you want to pair more remote controls, please
follow the following steps.
1) Press and hold the pairing button on the master controller for 5-6
seconds, until the green LED flashes quickly, this indicates that the
controller enters the learning status.
2) Press the ▲ and ▼ buttons of the remote control 5 times in a row. The
CH position on the remote control's LED display will change from -- to
00, gradually increase, and finally change to -- again, and the
controller will automatically exit the pairing state, this indicates
that the pairing is successful.
3) The controller can learn multiple remote controls with different
codes.
