i am going to make a tonneau cover lift and i am wondering what would be the best thing to use to control it. i have a 12 channel keyless entry from electric-life and linear actuators. what can i use to be able to press the button on my remote one time and have the actuators stop at the right time for open and close? i was wondering if the dei 528t pulse timer relay would work or a dei 611t. also im going to use an actuator for each side. any help would be greatly appreciated. hopefully i have explained enough about what i need.

You could use Micro switches or a timer.

But first you need a couple of Relays.

The Relays flip the polarity so it can go up and down with your remote.

M is the Actuator Motor that has wires to control it. If you put 12v on the wires it will go either up or down. Switch the wires around and it goes the other way.

what can i use to make this an automatic process. example: press button on remote one time and the cover goes up until it gets to where i want it to stop then press another button and the cover closes but does not keep going until damage occours to the cover or brackets that attach it. this is why i was wondering about using a timer so i can program a run time for open and close.

You need Micro switches and a Latching input on each side. Or some Pin switches and micro switches.

I think the dei528 would make it go up and anoyher would be needed to make it go down. The wiring of this is not familar to me because I have never had one in my hand to experiment with.

Dei430T may be a better option
