Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 5. Operations Cattron CommandPro® Wireless Control Systems are designed to control industrial machinery. These rugged controls are built to survive the wear and tear of life in factories, mills and foundries. These systems comply with operation requirements under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This means that neither the operator nor the company need apply or register for a license to operate this equipment.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 5.1.4 Command Format This device uses packet-mode, Frequency Modulation (FM) to carry commands in packet form from our transmitter to our receiver. To reduce battery drain, our transmitter transmits for a hundredth of a second, which is long enough to send one packet to our receiver at a repetition rate of either 16 times per second or four times per second.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 5.2 Transmitter Operation and Features WARNING ! ! 5.3 Do not operate the system until you are familiar with radio-controlled operation. If you are not familiar with radio-controlled operation, contact your supervisor before attempting to use the radio control system. IMPORTANT To stop the system in an emergency, press and hold the OFF/STOP button. Pressing and holding this button stops all functions. Wireless Operation 1.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 5.5 Commands 5.5.1 Command Switches The command switches are labeled according to their function. • • • If two commands that conflict with each other are attempted, in most cases no function results.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual Key Switch (Optional): The key switch option can prevent the use of the transmitter by unauthorized personnel. The key switch is electrically connected between the battery and the electronics so that all power is removed when the switch is in the OFF position. Note: Once power is applied, the red LED illuminates and the transmitter performs a self-test procedure lasting approximately three seconds. The transmitter may be switched to ‘ON’.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 5.6 Status Indicators 5.6.1 Status LED The status LED indicates the transmitter operation. When the transmitter is operating normally, the LED indicator emits short flashes at a low rate when no commands activate, and at a higher rate when a command activates. Some transmitters use a red LED only. Others use a multicolored LED that flashes GREEN when no problems are present and changes to RED when problems are encountered. See the Status Chart below.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 6. Installation 6.1 General Check all the components to confirm that they are the components you ordered for your system and that they are in good condition.

Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual 6.3 Installation Wiring Referring to the configuration sheet provided with the receiver (usually located within the receiver door), dress the receiver output relay wiring and the control switch wiring along the inside wall of the enclosure. This allows for easy troubleshooting and maintenance. 6.3.1 Receiver Power Cattron receivers are normally prewired for the most widely used control systems. Specific installations may require rewiring the relay ‘commons’.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual WARNING ! Before starting this installation, ensure that the crane power has been disconnected and that all applicable safety precautions are followed. Use the following steps to install the wiring to the receiver board and/or control transfer switch: 1. Disconnect the ‘hot’ input wire X1 from the pendant and connect it to the (X1) terminal 11 of connector TB1 on the receiver board (A). 2.

Apply power to the receiver. Verify that the POWER LED turns ON. Refer to Figure 6. Turn the transmitter to ‘ON’. Verify that the K16 and Output LED turn ON; while the alarm is on, verify the Signal LED flashes. Verify that voltage is present at the receiver normally open on output for the MLC.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual Figure 11: 21R22 Status LED Indicators – Transmitter ON 6.6 Installation Procedure – SAFE-T-RANGE (21R22CR) Cattron's ‘Safe-T-Range™’ is the latest advancement in wireless crane controls. ‘Safe-T-Range™’ keeps the operator within a predetermined distance from the crane, thus increasing safety in the workplace.
Remtron® Engineered Systems User Manual Figure 12: 21R22CR Antenna Pattern For normal operation, place the antenna as close to the center of the bridge as practical so that the radio control operation is symmetrical about the crane. Mount the antenna underneath the crane with a clear line of sight to the area the crane operator uses. Position the antenna parallel to the ground and have the arrow on its back side pointing toward either end of the bridge.
