This is a DEC motor I got from a person who had one replaced.
You will have to wire up one of the RA motors as shown above.
You will need a cable with the same connector the Autostar uses.
I upload the wiring info soon.

LXD55 DEC Motor Wiring

To convert an RA motor to work as a DEC motor you will
need a RJ45  8 connector cable. This is the same type of connector used
on the Autostar controller ( an Autostar cable will not work for some reason )
This is also a common computer cat 5 networking cable.
You will have to remove the motor from the plastic housing and
wire the cable as shown below to the motor. Once this is done the RJ45 connector will
plug into the Dec port on the control panel.

With the RJ45 connector positioned as shown above the wiring order of the
motor ( shown 1 through 8 )
will be the same on the RJ 45 connector ( shown 1 & 8 ).
 

# 1 Gray wire will go to the #1 position on the RJ45 connector.
#2 orange wire will go the the 2nd pin from the left on the RJ45 connector.
So on & so on.
The #8 Brown wire will go to the #8 pin on the RJ45 connector ( far right )
