Contact PageDC Controllers: Instructions & Schematic
Applies to this controller: DDC-1-10-RF
1. Preparing the controller:
Please note that these controllers are shipped with the RF remote pre-programmed for operation with the controller. You do not have to do any setup if you are going to use it as a stand-alone controller. These instructions would only be used if you change the remote control, or build a group of controllers.
Figure 1: DDC-1-10-RF Controller Schematic
The first step is to remove the controller housing cover. Do this by gently prying the backing plate out of the housing at the sides; there are some small plastic tabs that normally snap into place when you close it up again.
The above schematic shows the layout of the pigtail wiring harness terminals, as seen looking from above the board.
2. Programming the 'Learn' function:
- Press the button on the main board, this will cause the controller to enter the 'learn' mode (LED starts flashing)
- Press the remote control FORWARD button until flashing stops - the FORWARD function is successfully programmed.
- Press the learning button on the main board again (LED starts flashing)
- Press the remote control STOP button until the flashing stops - the STOP function is successfully programmed.
- Press the learning button on the main board again (LED starts flashing)
- Press the remote control REVERSE button until the flashing stops - the REVERSE function is successfully programmed.
PLEASE NOTE: The learning sequence must be: FORWARD-STOP-REVERSE or REVERSE-STOP-FORWARD
Do not omit the 'STOP' by doing this: FORWARD-REVERSE or REVERSE-FORWARD
3. Specifications & Use:
