FCB-2 Actuator Control Board with LCD and remote

Model #: FCB-2

Description

The FIRGELLI FCB-2 LCD screen control box is designed to control up to four linear actuators, accommodating both actuators with or without built-in feedback systems (such as hall or optical sensors).

With the FCB-2, you now have the added convenience of two wireless remotes, each featuring an up button and a down button, offering a remote control method for operating the actuators.

When using actuators with built-in feedback, the FCB-2 can synchronize up to four actuators to run at the exact same speed, ensuring precise and coordinated movement. This synchronization capability is particularly useful in applications requiring multiple actuators to operate in unison.

For actuators without built-in feedback, the FCB-2 still offers the ability to control up to four actuators, but without the synchronization feature. Instead, the control box provides timer functions and speed adjustment capabilities for these actuators.

The FIRGELLI FCB-2 LCD screen control box is a state-of-the-art device designed for electric linear actuators, offering advanced control and functionality. Whether you're lifting doors, adjusting desks, or managing uneven loading scenarios, the FCB-2 ensures optimal performance and smooth operation.

Features and Benefits

  • Wireless Remote Control: Includes two RC5 wireless remotes, each with an up and down button, for convenient remote operation of the actuators. Can pair up to 4 Remotes - Watch video here.
  • Synchronous Mode: (Only with actuators with built-in feedback) Run 1 to 4 linear actuators in perfect synchronization, ensuring simultaneous movement even if one actuator operates slightly slower than the others. Ideal for applications with uneven loading or where precise alignment is crucial. The actuator must have feedback for sync capability.
  • Adjustable Speed: Independently adjust the extension and retraction speeds of the actuators, allowing fine-tuning to suit specific requirements - watch video here.
  • Limit Position Adjustment: (Only with actuators with built-in feedback) Set customized starting and stopping positions for the actuators, overriding the built-in limit switches. Achieve precise control over the stroke length, accommodating unique applications with varying requirements.
  • Compatibility with Feedback Systems: Works seamlessly with both 3-wire and 4-wire feedback signal actuators, including those equipped with hall or optical sensors. NOT compatible with a potentiometer actuator.
  • Compatibility with Non-Feedback Systems: Works with regular 2-wire actuators but with scaled-down functionality, including all timer functions and speed adjustment control.
  • Direct Control: Control all actuators directly from the control box without the need for external switches, ensuring streamlined and efficient operation.
  • Optional External Switch Control: For added convenience, the control box can be integrated with an external switch if desired, providing alternative control options. This same connection can be used for other home automation systems.
  • User-Friendly LCD Touch Screen: Featuring an intuitive LCD touch screen interface, the control box offers effortless navigation and operation, enhancing user convenience.
  • Timer Control Options: Enjoy versatile timer control functionality, including time of day controller and interval mode, enabling precise scheduling of actuator movements - watch video here.
  • Multiple Program Times: Set up to 5 different program times within a 24-hour period, accommodating diverse scheduling needs and allowing for customization on different days.
  • Interval Mode: Configure the actuator(s) to open and close at specific time intervals, enabling continuous operation according to a predefined cycle. Perfect for applications requiring periodic actuation.
  • Easy Setup: The control box incorporates settings that are adjustable through the screen menu. Simply set the number of actuators (1-4) in the "Actuator Set" menu for optimal functionality.
  • Robust Wiring: The control box provides clear wiring instructions and diagrams, facilitating the proper connection of power, switches, and actuators. Removable green blocks ensure easy access and secure connections.
  • Calibration Function: (Only with actuators with built-in feedback) Calibrate the actuators effortlessly using the control box, ensuring precise operation and synchronization. Any wiring issues or incorrect settings can be identified during the calibration process. If power is lost to the controller at any time, it is important to run the calibration sequence again by pressing the Calibration button on the controller.
