 11 SAND AND PAINT

I sand the entire coffee table down with 120 grit sandpaper. Then, I used Bondo
body filler to fill in all the imperfections and plywood ends. You may need to
repeat this a couple of times to ensure you have a smooth finish. Take a damp
warm rag and wipe down the coffee table to remove any sanding dust. Finally,
use primer sealer followed by two coats of paint. I used white oil-based paint to
finalize. After allowing enough time for the pint fully set up, it was on to the
next step

12 APPLY THE VINYL

Adding a touch of vinyl truly makes this design stand out. You can find the
exact one I used in the materials list. Feel free to explore and put your touch on
it by adding something different. Vinyl gave this a professional feel. Vinyl is
tricky to apply if you are a newbie. Just start from one end and work your way
to the next. You will need a spreader and a very sharp utility knife.

INSTALLING THE ACTUATOR

INSTALLING THE ACTUATOR (Make sure you have a 12 in stroke Actuator)

Please feel free to make any modification to fit your setup. These were the steps
taken to integrate the actuator into the coffee table.

� You will a need 3in long bolt. The one I used was a ¼ thick bolt, but you can use
a smaller one. Due to the thickness of the ¼ in bolt used, I needed to slightly
open in the existing hole to allow the bolt top freely past through.
� Next, place the actuator in the very center of the coffee table. Then, pin it to
back wall. It should put your hole about 1/2in off the wall. Pace a mark then drill
out. Make sure the bolt pass through freely.
� Now, install the actuator with the bolt to the coffee table bottom. Then, use a
washer and nut underneath the coffee table and tighten it up.

INSTALLING THE ACTUATOR

FOR THE MOVING COFFEE TABLE SECTION

� There is a chance you do not need the metal, but it was apart of my fine-
tuning process, so I used it. It allows the coffee table to open a few more
inches and made it easy to access the connection point.
� To follow these steps, you will need a piece of metal plate. A plate at 3in by
4in by 1/8in thick should be fine.
� Next, line up the actuator bracket with the plate. Drill two holes to connect
the bracket to the plate on one side. On the opposite end of the plate drill 4
additional holes to attach the plate to the coffee table.

ACTUATOR LED

� Connect the power wires to the power terminal (do not plug it in the wall) Note:
You will need a 12-volt, 2 Amp Power Supply this can be shared with LED. If you
plan to power the LED separately you will need an additional power supply to
operate the actuator.
� The Actuator will use two relays to operate, Relay 1 and Relay 2. Each relay
coordinate with the buttons on the remotes. Keep in mind there is a jumper on
the relay board. There are 3 operations you can select; each option offers different
functionality.
� Connect the red wire of the actuator to Relay 1 Terminal (B)
� Connect the black wire to the actuator to Relay 2 Terminal (B)

� Connect a Jumper wire from Relay 1 Terminal (A) to Relay 2 Terminal (A)
� Connect a Jumper wire from Relay 1 Terminal (C) to Relay 2 Terminal (C)

� Connect a Jumper from Relay 1 Terminal (A) to Power Terminal (+)

� Connect a Jumper from Relay 2 Terminal (C) to Power Terminal (-)

LED LIGHTING

SINGLE COLOR LED HOOKUP INTEGRATION

� With this connection, you can only have one color to control. For more color
options, I would suggest using a LED and controller kit. Otherwise, follow these
steps.
� Connect the Black wire from the LED harness to Relay #3 Terminal (A)
� Pick one of the remaining colors (I used blue) connect it to Power Terminal (+)
� By default Button (C) on the remote will control Relay 3 allowing you to control
the LED.

MULTI COLOR LED HOOKUP STANDALONE

� If one wants more than one color then use an LED kit. There are many available
kits the majority of them will come with the LED strips, a color selecting remote,
a controller and a power supply. Just power it separately.

JUMPER

Feel free to explore the other jumper functions. You have 3 mode to chose from the
buttons reacts differently depending on the jumper setting. I removed the jumper,
It’s not perfect, but I’m happy enough with the functionally. It gets the job done.
Here is how it works.

Jumper off
� Remote Button (A) = Close Compartment
� Remote Button (B) = Open Compartment
� Remote Button (C) = LED On
� Remote Button (A) = Not Used

When you select a function, the action begins. If you then press another button that
function stops all operation and start the new one. For example. If you open the
coffee table, you have to wait until it opens all the way before you turn on the LED. If
the compartment is opening and you then press the LED button (C) it will stop the
compartment opening immediately.

� The best solution is to use standalone LED strip and operate it separately. The one
in the material list is a good option.
