Why is my ARC Remote Control motor not responding?
- L
  Lisa JonesAug 3, 2025
  If your ARC Remote Control motor isn't responding, there are several potential causes. First, check if the remote battery is discharged and replace it if necessary. Ensure the battery is inserted with the correct polarity. Radio interference could also be a factor; try positioning the remote away from metal objects and ensure the motor's aerial is straight and away from metal. If the receiver is too far from the remote, move closer or consider using a repeater. Also, verify that the power supply to the motor is connected and active. Finally, check that the motor wiring is connected correctly, referring to the motor installation instructions if needed.

  If your ARC Remote Control motor pairs but you can't set the limits, it might be in a locked state. To unlock it and enable setting limits or performing multi-button functions, press and hold the LOCK button for 5 seconds until the locked state changes.

  If your ARC Remote Control motor won't go down after setting the top limit, it's possible the top limit was set incorrectly. Reset the motor and begin the programming sequence again. Remember to set the upper limit using the UP and STOP buttons, and the down limit using the DOWN and STOP buttons.

  Casey SimmonsAug 27, 2025
  If you're experiencing issues setting limits on a single ARC Remote Control motor and multiple motors are responding, it's likely that you're using channel 0 to adjust the motor limits. Always reserve an individual channel for programming functions to avoid this issue.
