The signals are powered by picking off the AC (reversing polarity) 12V for the actuator, rectifying with a diode bridge, changing with a microswitch acting from the actuator ram, then out to a set of pins for -VE, Red, Green, -VE, so that signal polarity can easily be selected by reversing the plug.
The extra sets of pins can be connected to any of the 4 spare wires in the 6 core cable to the box, and hence to remote signals or a distant signal...
