Dual Linear Actuator Controller

Two motors. One brain. A heavy trunk lid or a full length tonneau will fight a single actuator. Run two and the real problem starts: keeping them moving together; stopping them both when something is in the way; getting them to the same height every time. The PAC-3200 drives both motors at once and handles all of that. Three user programmable heights get learned once; after that the cover goes exactly where you told it at the push of a button. Auto reverse watches current draw. If the lid meets a hand or a toolbox on the way down the motors stop; reverse and return to the last position. That is the feature you hope never matters and are glad is there. There is an auto move to position mode as well; the cover opens when the key goes off and closes when the key goes on. Controller only. Actuators and hardware are separate.

  • Two motors in step - built to drive a pair of actuators on a lid too heavy for one.
  • Auto reverse on obstruction - current draw spikes; the motors stop and return to the last position.
  • Three learned heights - the cover goes where you set it at the push of a button instead of by feel.
  • Key on and key off automation - opens when you shut the truck down; closes when you start it.
  • Works with your actuator choice - the controller is sold on its own so you size the motors to the lid.

The PAC-3200 is designed to control two linear motors at the same time. It is intended to be used to lift heavier trunk lids and toppers/tonneau covers that require more than one motor. The PAC-3200 has a safety auto reverse feature that will stop downward travel if something would block the trunk lid. If too much current draw is detected, indicating a blocked condition, the motors will reverse and return to the previous position before they start moving down. 

The system can learn three user programmable heights, so the trunk/cover will automatically move to a desired position with the push of a button. There is also an auto move to position feature that will open the trunk/cover when the key is turned off and close the cover when the key is turned on.
