5. Installation

This actuator is designed for replacement in existing electric recliner beds or chairs. Ensure you have the necessary tools and follow these steps carefully.

Pre-Installation Checklist:

• Ensure the power supply to the furniture is disconnected at the wall outlet.
• Confirm the model number (E.10625) on your existing actuator matches the replacement unit.
• Verify that the cable connectors and motor end shapes are identical to your original unit.

1. Disconnect Old Actuator: Carefully remove the old actuator from its mounting points. Note the orientation and connection points for reference. Disconnect its power cable.
2. Mount New Actuator: Attach the new Fromann ALPHADRIVE 5 ADZ5 Series Model E.10625 actuator to the furniture's mounting brackets. Ensure it is securely fastened using appropriate hardware (not included, typically reused from the old unit).
3. Connect Power Cable: Connect the power cable of the new actuator to the corresponding power supply connector on the furniture. Ensure a firm and correct connection.
4. Restore Power: Once installed, carefully reconnect the power supply to the furniture at the wall outlet.
5. Test Functionality: Test the actuator's function using the remote or switch to ensure smooth operation through its full range of motion (extension and retraction).

6. Operation

The ALPHADRIVE 5 ADZ5 Series Model E.10625 actuator operates in conjunction with your furniture's existing control system (remote or switch). It is designed for intermittent use.

Basic Operation:

1. Ensure the actuator is properly installed and connected to a functional power source.
2. Use the designated buttons on your recliner or bed's remote control or integrated switch to extend or retract the actuator.
3. The actuator will move the furniture mechanism to the desired position. Release the button to stop movement.

Important Note on Duty Cycle:

The actuator has a specified duty cycle of 1 minute ON and 8 minutes OFF. This means it can operate continuously for up to 1 minute, after which it requires an 8-minute rest period to prevent overheating and ensure optimal longevity. Avoid continuous operation for extended periods.

7. Maintenance

Regular, simple maintenance can help ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your actuator.

• Cleaning: Keep the actuator clean and free from dust, dirt, and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the mounting points and all cable connections for any signs of loosening, wear, or damage. Tighten fasteners as necessary.
• Lubrication: Do not attempt to lubric lubricate internal components. The unit is factory-sealed and does not require user lubrication.
• Obstructions: Ensure there are no obstructions around the actuator's moving parts that could impede its operation.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your actuator, please refer to the following troubleshooting guide before seeking professional assistance.

Actuator Not Moving:

• Power Connection: Check if the power cord to the furniture is securely plugged into the wall outlet and the furniture's power supply.
• Actuator Connection: Verify that the actuator's power cable is correctly and firmly connected to the furniture's power supply.
• Remote/Switch: Test the remote control or switch. If possible, try a different remote or switch if available to rule out a control issue.
• Obstructions: Ensure there are no physical obstructions preventing the actuator from moving.
• Duty Cycle: If the actuator has been operating continuously, it may be in its "OFF" cycle due to the duty cycle limit. Allow it to cool down for at least 8 minutes.

Actuator Moving Slowly or Unevenly:

• Friction/Binding: Check for any binding or excessive friction in the furniture's mechanical linkage that the actuator operates.
• Overload: Ensure the furniture is not overloaded beyond its maximum weight capacity.
• Wiring: Inspect for any loose connections or damaged wiring that might be affecting power delivery.

If issues persist after performing these troubleshooting steps, please contact customer support for further assistance.
