Description
PA-33 Specifications

The PA-33 is our single channel control box with an increased environmental protection rating. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many wireless actuator control box solutions, such as:

  • Easy Setup: Plug-n-play connections with the included wire harness allow for fast and simple wiring to your system. 
  • Hand Remotes: Included in each kit are two hand remotes for flexibility in controlling your system with a spare backup or using multiple remotes in different places at the same time. 
  • Electrical Protection: The PA-33 control box is designed with safety features such as the included in-line fuse for short circuit protection.

Key Benefits and Features of the PA-33

  • Voltage Compatibility: The 12 VDC input and output voltage operation allows compatibility with a wide range of actuators and power supplies. 
  • Environmental Protection: A high ingress protection rating of IP65 allows for the PA-33 to withstand harsh environments found in various outdoor applications. 
  • Versatile Control: Supports both momentary and non-momentary operation modes to accommodate different user preferences.
  • Current Draw: The PA-33 is rated for 20A, however, using relays or modifying the wiring harness to a thicker gauge is recommended for 12 VDC actuators with a higher than 12A current rating.
  • Wireless Remote: Using the RF remote provided, users have the ability to extend, stop, and retract their actuators from up to 9.1-15.2 m away (open air).

FAQ
What does the IP65 rating mean for the PA-33 and how does it improve the unit’s performance in outdoor or harsh environments?

The Ingress Protection (IP) rating system uses a 2-digit system where the first digit represents debris and/or dust protection, and the second represents protection against liquids. An IP65 level of protection makes the PA-33 suitable as an outdoor actuator controller with tight seals and enclosures that help extend service life.

When should I consider upgrading the wiring harness or using relays with the PA-33 control box?

For higher current draws over 12A, use high current relays or thick gauge wiring to avoid overheating the actuator wiring harness of the PA-33.

How does the PA-33 differ from the PA-31 in terms of durability and environmental resistance?

When comparing the PA-31 vs PA-33, the gasketed housing and sealed connectors of our PA-33 offer better resilience to dust and moisture commonly found in outdoor use cases.

How do I toggle between momentary and non-momentary modes with the PA-33 control box?

Changing between momentary and non-momentary actuator control box modes requires access inside the enclosure. Once you have access, follow the steps below:

Momentary Mode

  • Ensure the Jumper S1 on the PCB is connected
  • Hold UP to extend the actuator, let go to stop the actuator
  • Hold DOWN to retract the actuator, let go to stop the actuator

Non-Momentary Mode

  • Ensure the Jumpers S1 on the PCB is disconnected
  • Press UP to extend the actuator, Press UP again to stop the actuator
  • Press DOWN to retract the actuator, Press DOWN again to stop the actuator
  • If DOWN is pressed while the actuator is extending, it will reverse direction and begin to retract
What are the remote control capabilities and operational range of the PA-33 system?

The PA-33 features a wireless remote range of 30–50 ft in open air, paired with the RF actuator remote controller for wireless control over extension, retraction, and stopping motion.
