4. Setup
4.1 Wiring Diagram
The controller outputs control signals only; an external power supply is needed for driving the linear actuator or DC motor. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the power input and motor output.

Figure 4.1.1: Wiring diagram showing the connection of a DC 7-32V input power supply to the controller and the controller's output connected to a DC motor. Red wires typically indicate positive, and black/blue wires indicate negative.

Figure 4.1.2: Wiring diagram illustrating the connection of a DC 7-32V input power supply to the controller and the controller's output connected to an electric push rod (linear actuator).
Wiring Steps:
- Connect the DC 7-32V power supply to the "DC In" terminals on the controller. Observe polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Connect the DC motor or electric push rod to the "Motor" terminals on the controller.
- Ensure all connections are secure before powering on the device.

4.2 Tuya Smart APP Pairing
To control the device via your smartphone, you need to pair it with the Tuya Smart APP.
- Ensure your phone's location services and Bluetooth are enabled.
- Connect your mobile phone to a 2.4G WiFi network. (5G WiFi is not supported)
- Power on the device. The network distribution indicator light should flash (twice per second). If it doesn't, press and hold the reset button for 5-7 seconds until it flashes.
- Open the Tuya Smart APP, click the "+" icon to add a device. The system should automatically detect the controller.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the pairing process. The first-time device addition may take approximately 15-20 seconds.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Remote Control Operation
The included 433MHz remote control allows for direct operation of the motor controller.
- Press the "Up Arrow" button to activate forward rotation.
- Press the "Down Arrow" button to activate reverse rotation.
- Press the "Square" button to stop the motor.
Ensure the remote control has a 23A, 12V battery installed (not included).
5.2 Tuya Smart APP Operation
Once paired, you can control the device from the Tuya Smart APP.

Figure 5.2.1: Screenshot of the Tuya Smart APP interface showing controls for a DC motor, including "Up", "Pause", and "Down" buttons. This illustrates remote control functionality without distance limits via mobile internet.
- Basic Control: Use the "ON" and "OFF" buttons within the app to control the motor.
- Interlock Setting: In the Tuya APP, set interlock to control forward and reverse rotation separately. This prevents simultaneous activation of both directions.
- Jogging Time (Momentary Mode): To set running time for both rotations, configure jogging time between 1 and 3600 seconds with a minimum interval of 1 second. This is useful for precise movement (e.g., mm-level accuracy).
- Self-locking Mode: The device also supports a self-locking mode where it remains in its last state until another command is received.
- Timing/Scheduling: Set single, repeat, or loop timers to automate device operation.
