so I am compiling components to restore the Genie S60 lift
the platform control box is completely missing--big items on these units are joysticks
got a bargain on microprocessor based j-sticks ---and found sleve penetration into interior--abs plastic category housing
pics online indicate it is for Gore tex vent plug--$30+ usd
for $5 dollars two small sheets of adhesive backed Gore tex arrive and a trimmed patch adheres vigorously to housing projection--for added security--delrin collar provides snug impact resistance
pics show left unit with Gore tex patch, right illustrates view to pcb
final pic illustrates actual j-stick required for my series lift-- good news since it is completely analog metering voltage thru potentiometers
the sealed microprocessor variety requires max 5 vdc input and has null zone of 2.5 vdc so--forward deflection generates up to 5 vdc while rearward
movement lowers voltage to 0
and this is why several logic boards are required for function in this application--2.5 volts must be recognized as null---this of course, would not be compatible with most servo controls based upon 0-10 vdc detection for proportioning motion
and the proprietary genie boards price from $400-3000
so old fashioned analog is fine by me
