1 Farm Hand SC-5v2
1 Installation Kit
1 Fuse Kit
3 Sensors
1 Manual
2. Hang Farm Hand SC-5v2 with four screws and the plastic mounting brackets included.
3. Make sure all power supplies are disconnected before breaking any wires, or reaching
into the enclosure.
4. Open SC-5v2 and find all connections. Refer to wiring diagrams in back of this manual.
5. Run sensors out to locations inside the house. (Sensor 3 should be installed outside the
house.) Be sure that the sensors are in a safe location, free from any temperature
influences (direct sunlight, water, etc.) Use care when securing sensor wires so that you
do not cut the wire, any short, or break in the wire will cause improper sensor operation.
6. Connect each sensor to its appropriate terminals inside the enclosure. (See wiring
diagrams in the back of this manual.)
7. Connect wires from stage terminals to the contactor panel, or relay box. See wiring
diagrams for locations of terminals.
8. Hookup three wire connections from SC-5v2 PCB164 circuit board to curtain machines.
See wiring diagrams for locations of terminals.
9. CHECK THE POSITION OF THE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH. Connect the
wires for 120/240V power to the terminals specified in the wiring diagram.
9. Programming Examples
When following these examples, you will need to refer to the Program Reference section to see which
options are available for each of the parameters (P1, P24, etc.).
9.1 Setting up a Stage
There are five parameters used in programming any stage. They are P1-P5. The following is an
overview of how to program a stage:
1. Enter Program Mode by pressing and holding the Mode button for 5 seconds until
P1 is displayed, and the variable speed stage 1 light comes on. This parameter
selects the sensor(s) that this stage watches for on/off operation.
2. Press the + or - button until the desired sensor is displayed. 1= sensor 1; 2 = sensor
2, and 3 = an average of sensors 1 and 2.
3. Press the Mode button again and P2 is shown. This parameter selects what mode the
stage operates as.
