Description
PA-40 Specifications

The PA-40 control box allows for synchronous control of two 12 VDC linear actuators with hall effect feedback. We’ve specifically designed this unit to overcome common challenges found in many wireless actuator control box solutions with hall effect feedback, 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-40 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-40

  • Voltage Compatibility: The 12 VDC input and output voltage operation allows compatibility with a wide range of actuators and power supplies.
  • Dual Hall Effect Control: 2 matching hall effect actuators can be simultaneously controlled to travel together synchronously.
  • Current Draw: The PA-40 control box is rated for 20A, however, each channel individually is rated for 10A.
  • Versatile Control: Supports both momentary and non-momentary operation modes to accommodate different user preferences.
  • 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
How does the PA-40 achieve synchronized motion between two Hall Effect actuators and what conditions must be met?

The PA-40 synchronization process counts Hall pulses from each actuator and balances the PWM output being supplied to power the motors to keep both actuators at the same speed. Use the same-model hall effect actuators with equal stroke, voltage, and force ratings for best results.

What are the compatibility requirements for actuators used with the PA-40 control box?

The PA-40 is a 12V hall effect actuator only control box that handles up to 10A per channel of 2 matching actuators with brushed DC motors.  

What power supply specifications are recommended to ensure stable performance of the PA-40 at 10 A per channel?

Select a 12 VDC power supply sized for 20A of current draw to meet the actuator power requirements of your setup at 10 A per channel. 

How can users switch between momentary and non-momentary control modes on the PA-40?

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

Momentary Mode

  • Ensure the Jumper M2 on the PCB is connected to the PCB
  • Hold UP or DOWN to go forward or backward
  • Release UP or DOWN to stop

Non-Momentary Mode

  • Ensure the Jumper M1 on the PCB is disconnected
  • Press UP or DOWN to go forward or backward
  • Press UP or DOWN again to stop
What are the safety limitations of the PA-40, and what happens if actuators exceed load or current rating?

The PA-40 has a duty cycle of 10% (2 minutes on, 18 minutes off) and can handle up to 10A per channel. For short circuit protection, the PA-40 safety fuse comes installed in the included wire harness. The operation stops and enters an error state when an overheat condition exceeds the duty cycle or an out-of-sync condition occurs. Remove the cause, allow cooling if needed, then restore power and do a reset procedure as needed.
