Troubleshooting beeping motors

[freightguy]

I will contact them now and see what they say.

Hi, ok, please let us know as we have never seen this problem before. It may be that they have a new system that only works with their motors. Most of our customers have reported that they won't sell just the motor replacement, it has to be the complete shade.

I have called Automotion 2 now without any answer.  So I sent them an email just now.

The problem is a 12volt shade controller by a company called American Technology Components in Elkhart, IN.  I talked to them and they tols me the controllers are programmed to the shade motors specs, anything out of range from those specs will cause instant shutdown.

Hi, I expect that means their controller can't provide the extra bit of current our motors require as ours have generally more lift capacity than the Automotion originals. I never expected that to be a disadvantage!

Anyway, sorry for your trouble, we'll refund the unit for you.

They tell me the controller can be reprogrammed but the programming will affect all blinds on that controller.  Thank I will be putting in the mail ASAP.
