This universal kit converts old bed base control boxes with an easy-to-install 3 step process and includes a new wireless remote to control your head and foot motors: Head Up, Head Down, Foot up, and Foot Down. Used to replace a lost or broken remote when there are no more replacements available or in budget. As a plus, unlike our other kits, you can program more than one remote to the same box if you and your partner each want their own remote.
This kit includes all the wiring and harnesses needed to make your conversion. Total installation should take no more than 5 minutes but it does require tipping the bed on its side. If you want to ensure that this model is compatible, look at your actuator motors under the bed and verify that they are 24V. (We have converted several bases without issue and almost all of the beds we have looked at that have been made after 2000 use the 24V voltage, but ultimately we have not tested every bed on the market so cutting your wires is at your own discretion. You can however splice them back together if the conversion does not work so ultimately there is not a huge risk…if your motors are built into your existing control box like an Okimat system this will not work.)
We send detailed instructions and even have uploaded a video on youtube showing this process here: Universal Bed Remote Kit by BedRemotes.com. Order at bit.ly/3jKHM4R. Tempur-Pedic Ergo Premier Demo - YouTube. There are three steps to installing this unit. First, tip your bed on its side and unplug it from the wall. Second, cut the cords of the head and foot actuator motor and strip the forward and reverse wires (see our video). Third, slide each wire into its corresponding hole in our harness and click down the lever with your thumb. Then secure the boxes to your frame with our zip cables we provide, plug the new power cord in, and you’re good to go!Kit Includes:
1) Conversion Control Box with Wire Harnesses and a 24 V 3A Power Supply Cable/Transformer Box with built in heat resistance, short circuit protection, and electromatic wave reduction. Simply click your 4 stripped wires into our four port receptacle and plug the new power cord to a surge protector and you will be up and running.
1) Wireless Remote Control - We program this prior to shipping so just plug in the kit after it’s installed and the remote will work. Each remote uses one included 23A 12V small battery. If you want to buy a Two Pack Version that comes preprogrammed to use both at the same time with this kit, we sell them for $30 more here:
We also sell these remotes as separate items if you wanted to program more yourself down the road (we provide easy to follow instructions - just push a button in the box and push a button on the remote- see our other listing)
3) Large Zip Tie Cables to secure the new boxes under the bed
Recommended Items to have prior to install:
1) Wire Stripper or Pair of Scissors (we recommend a good but inexpensive pair of strippers as it will make the stripping process a lot easier and quicker. Here is a pair on Amazon that we bought for $6 and use in our instruction video): https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B06X9875Z7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
1) Surge Protector. This can be a power strip or single box, but its important to make sure the words "Surge Protector" or some variant are on the unit. Usually you can buy both at walmart but the power strip without surge protection is a dollar or two less. Here is a combo strip/protector for $10 on Amazon that we love using: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08466BVJV?ref_=cm_sw_r_...
One note: depending on supply chain issues, you may receive the large control box with a six button remote that you see in the last image. It works exactly the same as the smaller box and four button remote, the bottom two buttons will just not operate anything. Please contact us before hand if for any reason receiving the six button remote would complicate things and we can verify that we can ship the four button version.
We also sell a basic five button conversion kit with backlit lighting and a flashlight for $179 if you don't need two remotes paired to the same control box here:
or a nine button backlit remote conversion kit which will give you access to one-touch presets and a flashlight on the remote for the same price but you can only have one remote paired at a time on this kit. See below:
If your old base had massage motors and you wanted that functionality, we sell a 13 button premium remote kit below
And finally, it’s important to note that one control box is required per bed. If you have a split king which is essentially two bases pushed up side-by-side, you would need two of these kits if you no longer have any working remote.
