Switch Settings
Switch settings for control module operation and setup outlined below. Note*: Default switch settings (as
shipped) are indicated in BOLD text.
As shown in the figure above, the setup DIP switches are divided into two groups of eight switches. The top
set of switches is numbered SW1 through SW8 and the bottom set of switches is numbered SW9 through
SW16.
SW1 SW2
Maximum Motor Current / Power
on on Max Current = 2 Amps, 50 Watts
on off Max Current = 3 Amps, 75 Watts *
off on Max Current = 4 Amps, 100 Watts
off off Max Current = 6 Amps, 150 Watts
Set DIP switches SW1 and SW2 to the rating for the current of the lifter motor. This is the maximum current
that is applied and is directly related to the motor power rating. This setting is also used to determine the
minimum applied current for stall sensing and to calculate the motor speed based on the measured motor
voltage.
NOTE: For optimum performance it is important that these switches are set correctly. For the standard
lifter, these switches should be set for 3 Amps
