SAFETY DISCLAIMER IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS BELOW WARNING: Failure to provide adequate structural strengthening, prior to installation can result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure the structure to which the component is affixed can support four times the weight of the component and any additional apparatus mounted to the component. WARNING: Do not exceed the weight capacity for this product as listed below. This can result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment. It is the installer’s responsibility to ensure that the total combined weight of all attached components does not exceed that of the maximum figure stated. WARNING: Risk of death or serious injury may occur when children climb on audio and/or video equipment or furniture. A remote control or toys placed on the furnishing may encourage a child to climb on the furnishing and as a result the furnishing may tip over on to the child. WARNING: Risk of death or serious injury may occur. Relocating audio and/or video equipment to furniture not specifically designed to support audio and/or video equipment may result in death or serious injury due to the furnishing collapsing or over turning onto a child or adult. WARNING – RISK OF INJURY! Only for use with equipment weighing 100KG (220LBS) OR LESS. Suitable for flap panels weighing 25KG (55LBS) OR LESS. Use with heavier projectors/equipment may lead to instability causing tip over or failure resulting in death or serious injury. Bracket Suitable for Residential and Commercial Use.

GENERAL CONTROL This mechanism has multiple standard control methods, each of which requires a different input method to the control box. For ease, the input sockets on the control board are labelled below. (Control box size and style may vary to image shown) CONTROL BOX INPUTS RS232 (RJ11/RJ25) Contact Closure (RJ45) Emergency Stop IR Input Jack (3.5mm) Input Confirmation LED MECHANISM EMERGENCY STOP CONNECTOR This mechanism features an Emergency Stop Connector, which MUST be plugged into the control box in the connector labelled above for the mechanism to operate. If this connector is not plugged in, the Input Confirmation LED will be permanently lit. As per the red plastic tag attached to the Emergency Stop Connector (and shown below), the small loop of wire in this connector is designed to be replaced by a third party safety mechanism. REPLACING MECHANISM BATTERIES The standard Future Automation Infrared (IR) remote control requires x2 AAA batteries to operate. These are provided with the mechanism in the Accessories Pack. These batteries can be replaced as per the image below. 19
Page 22
INFRARED (IR) This mechanism can be controlled via the supplied 14 button Infrared (IR) Remote Control, paired with the supplied Infrared (IR) lead and sensor. The mechanism's functions can be controlled by plugging the Infrared (IR) lead and sensor into the 3.5mm IR Input Jack shown on the General Mechanism Control page. Confirmation of Infrared (IR) input will be shown by a single flash of the large green LED located on the end of the control box. As Infrared (IR) control works via line of site, the Infrared (IR) sensor must be directly viewable from the location the remote control is being used from. Infrared (IR) Remote Control Button Layout IN - The flap closes and the mechanism is brought fully in. OUT - Opens the flap and raises the mechanism fully out. STOP - Stops the operation of the mechanism. IMPORTANT Only buttons indicated above are functional with the product. Any other button press will STOP the mechanism. 20
Page 23
CONTACT CLOSURE This Mechanism can be controlled via Contact Closure, utilising the 8 Pin RJ45 Connector attached to a length of CAT5 (Type 568A or 568B) cable. The mechanism’s functions can be controlled by plugging this into the RJ45 port on the mechanism control board, then shorting pins 1-8 on this connector as shown in the Contact Closure Input Table below. Confirmation of Contact Closure input will be shown by a single flash of the large green LED located on the end of the control box, as well as illumination of the corresponding Contact Closure LED on the printed circuit board as shown below.
