FAQ

What is the 79106-01A?

It is an AMP Research PowerStep manual-override accessory with the controller requirements and included components listed above.

Is a replacement controller included?

No. This option contains the override switch and harness for an existing compatible controller. A controller retrofit requires the separately specified kit.

Which controller types are compatible?

The current manufacturer listing identifies dual-plug STA, STB and XTA controllers. Check the label and the actual connector arrangement on the installed system.

Will it work with a single-plug SSA controller?

No. The manufacturer excludes SSA controllers 19-04732-SSA and 19-05036-SSA. Do not assume all PowerStep controller generations use the same switch connection.

Is this a complete running-board kit?

No. It is an electrical control accessory. Running boards, motors, brackets and the existing controller are separate components.

What do the three switch positions do?

They select manual retraction, normal door-operated automatic use, or manual deployment. Keep people and objects clear while the boards move.

Does manual mode remain selected indefinitely?

No. The manufacturer states that automatic operation returns on the next door cycle after 30 minutes. Account for that reset when cleaning or servicing the system.

Does installation require electrical work or drilling?

Yes. The instructions require harness connections and switch mounting in a suitable panel. Inspect behind the panel before drilling and follow the exact guide for the installed system.

Installation Instructions

1. Identify the PowerStep kit and installed controller; compare the exact instructions before disconnecting components.
2. Isolate the systems electrical supply as directed and inventory the supplied switch, harness and any controller retrofit parts.
3. Follow the kit-specific connector and controller procedure. Do not interchange STA, STB or SSA wiring arrangements.
4. Choose an accessible panel location, inspect behind it, and drill or route wiring only as specified in the guide.
5. Secure wiring clear of moving or hot parts, restore power and test retract, automatic and deployed operation.
