== Features ==
* High current coil outputs with active back-EMF quenching
* High current coil outputs with active back-EMF quenching
** Optional third output for '67-O' Action
** Optional third output for 67-O type Action

* Supplied with new sensor retraction cup with new felts and leather bumpers
 
== Advantages ==
* Faster repeat times (should be used with our new cable stabilizers)
* Simple Installation

* No complicated contact adjustments
* Stuck-input protection
* Low current actuation input
 
== Installation ==
* Remove old relay from top of the Deagan 67 action.
** Optionally remove bottom contacts and actuating arm to reduce friction.
* Move coil return leads to positive terminal block (module coil outputs are negative)
* Move the head toward the chime. Replace the retraction cup with the new cup. Orient the cup so that the sensor cable exits the top. Tighten the cup bolt.
* Mount new module to the top of the action using the supplied bracket (terminal labels will be right-reading viewed from chime end).
* Connect positive and negative 48V as shown.
** Briefly, power the system and be sure the POLARITY REVERSED light does not come on.
* Connect the coil leads to the output terminals. Strike coil is the large bobbin at the chime end. Retract coil is at the rear. Optional O coil is the middle coil.
* Connect the action signal lead from the main relay to ACTUATION INPUT.
 
=== Testing ===
* Press the TEST ACTION button to test the striker.
* Press the TEST MODE button to select the test mode (1 to 3 times)
* Press the TEST MODE button to cancel tests
 
Test Modes
* ERROR/MODE light not blinking - single strike
* ERROR/MODE light blinking once - 60 BPM for five minutes
* ERROR/MODE light blinking two times - 120 BPM for five minutes
* ERROR/MODE light blinking three times - 150 BPM for ten strikes
 
=== Error indications ===
* POLARITY REVERSED light indicates the motor generator or power supply leads are reversed.
** If coils are connected while reversed polarity voltage is supplied, the module will be damaged.
** Always verify polarity before connecting the action coils.
* ERROR light blinks steadily: The actuation input is stuck. Check for shorted keyboard or relay contacts.
* ERROR light on solid: Sensor error or strike cycle took longer than expected. Check connections and lubricate action.

Features

  • High current coil outputs with active back-EMF quenching
    • Optional third output for 67-O type Action
  • Optical ram position sensors (replacement retract cup)
  • Reverse polarity warning light
  • Adjustable ram thrust power (volume control)
  • Buttons for testing
  • Supplied with new sensor retraction cup with new felts and leather bumpers

Advantages

  • Faster repeat times (should be used with our new cable stabilizers)
  • Simple Installation
  • Spark free operation
  • No complicated contact adjustments
  • Stuck-input protection
  • Low current actuation input

Installation

  • Remove old relay from top of the Deagan 67 action.
    • Optionally remove bottom contacts and actuating arm to reduce friction.
  • Move coil return leads to positive terminal block (module coil outputs are negative)
  • Move the head toward the chime. Replace the retraction cup with the new cup. Orient the cup so that the sensor cable exits the top. Tighten the cup bolt.
  • Mount new module to the top of the action using the supplied bracket (terminal labels will be right-reading viewed from chime end).
  • Connect positive and negative 48V as shown.
    • Briefly, power the system and be sure the POLARITY REVERSED light does not come on.
  • Connect the coil leads to the output terminals. Strike coil is the large bobbin at the chime end. Retract coil is at the rear. Optional O coil is the middle coil.
  • Connect the action signal lead from the main relay to ACTUATION INPUT.

Testing

  • Press the TEST ACTION button to test the striker.
  • Press the TEST MODE button to select the test mode (1 to 3 times)
  • Press the TEST MODE button to cancel tests

Test Modes

  • ERROR/MODE light not blinking - single strike
  • ERROR/MODE light blinking once - 60 BPM for five minutes
  • ERROR/MODE light blinking two times - 120 BPM for five minutes
  • ERROR/MODE light blinking three times - 150 BPM for ten strikes

Error indications

  • POLARITY REVERSED light indicates the motor generator or power supply leads are reversed.
    • If coils are connected while reversed polarity voltage is supplied, the module will be damaged.
    • Always verify polarity before connecting the action coils.
  • ERROR light blinks steadily: The actuation input is stuck. Check for shorted keyboard or relay contacts.
  • ERROR light on solid: Sensor error or strike cycle took longer than expected. Check connections and lubricate action.
