1. ations may arise which require a particular action These situations are described below Low battery level If the battery level goes below a warning level while operating the actuators three short buzzer tones are sounded This means that the battery requires recharging and the actuators can therefore only be driven in one direction normally in Flat battery If the battery level goes below a minimum level while operating the actuators one short buzzer tone is sounded The actuators will stop immediately and the controller will shut down The battery must be charged You must wait at least one minute before inserting a new battery into the controller If you are using actuators with position feedback hall effect you will need to perform 0 point calibration See section 4 below Extreme battery load The battery may become too hot if it is subject to extreme load due to repeated operations in rapid succession thereby activating the battery s safety thermostat The controller will shut down and the battery must be allowed to cool for at least half an hour before being used again You must wait at least one minute before inserting a different battery into the controller If you are using actuators with position feedback hall effect you will need to perform 0 point calibration See section 4 below NB An alarm only sounds during operation of the actuators No alarm will sound while the system is inactive even if the battery is close to re2. concense excellent electric actuators USER GUIDE Concens C3CONxW Actuator controller for up to 4 actuators Rev 01 July 2012 Concens A S resundsvej 7 T 45 7011 1131 www concens com DK 6715 Esbjerg N F 45 7610 5010 info concens com Denmark VAT DK10132266 concense excellent electric actuators 1 Contents 2 VTM eee AA ceweacueasncanecasetaneoacscasuraeme sen someone yaa A 2 gt WROD Al NNN 2 4 VON 3 FRE gt RER EE REE EE SE ENE NE EN EEE 4 TN 4 2 Introduction The Concens C3 series is a range of battery based actuator controllers developed especially for mobile applications The controller can manage up to 4 actuators and may be used with a wired or wireless remote control This manual describes the models which have a wired remote control W models The controller may be configured using PC software which may be ordered separately from Concens This allows patterns of operation stroke length speed etc for the connected actuators to be adjusted 3 Preparation Before the system may be used the battery must be charged using the accompanying charger It takes 5 8 hours to fully charge a battery Battery mounted in charger The yellow LED lights up when the charger is connected to power Place the battery in the charger by sliding it in and rotating it until it is pulled into place by the magnets The green LED will flash at approx 1 second intervals while the battery is being charged Once charging i
