Description
PA-30 Specifications

The PA-30 dual channel control box allows for parallel control of linear actuators. Using the RF remote provided, users have the ability to extend, stop, and retract their actuators from up to 30-50 feet away (open air). The control box has both momentary and non-momentary capabilities as well as an in-line fuse to protect against short circuits.

Using the included wire harness, connect the linear actuators to the control box. Apply 12VDC across the power wires and the system is now ready to use. It is important to ensure that the power supply has a sufficient amperage rating to control the linear actuators. The PA-30 is designed to handle a maximum of 15A per channel. Please note that linear actuators connected to the PA-30 will travel in parallel and will not be synchronized to one another

Please see the PA-30 Data Sheet for information about controls, wiring, and troubleshooting.

* Parallel control of linear actuators at 12 VDC.

FAQ
What is the difference between parallel and synchronized actuator control in the PA-30?

Parallel actuator control using the PA-30 runs multiple actuators at the same time without feedback and works well for non-critical alignment. Synchronized actuator control, such as using the PA-CB40, uses positional feedback in the process to keep actuators level and in step, ideal for lids, platforms, or lifts that must stay square. 

How do I switch between momentary and non-momentary modes on the PA-30 control box?

Changing modes for momentary and non-momentary mode control 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 RF remote’s range limitations and pairing instructions for the PA-30?

The PA-30 has a 30-50 ft range controller capability (open air) with the RF actuator remote. For pairing remotes, please see the Remote Synchronization Process:

  • Open the control box, press and hold the white button and the blue LED will turn on
  • While holding down the white button, press any button on the remote and the LED will turn off
  • The remote is now synced to the control box
  • A maximum of two remotes can be saved to one control box
What kind of power supply is required for the PA-30 and how do I ensure amperage compatibility?

The power source selection compatible with PA-30 is any 12V actuator power supply that can meet the total actuator current draw for your use case; however, we do not recommend using the PA-30 for actuators that draw more than 15A per channel. 

How does the built-in inline fuse protect the system, and how can it be replaced if blown?

The inline fuse opens when there is a short or a significant spike in current to help protect the controller and actuators, mainly as short circuit protection. Disconnect power, open the holder, and replace the fuse with the same type and rating listed in the manual.
