Section 1 – Product Data & Specifications Functional Description. The CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Pendant Station (PS) remote controller is a lightweight, extremely rugged customizable radio control unit for use with any CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Portable Remote Control (PRC) System. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers are offered in three family configurations: PSEZ (Easy), PSCS (Crane Specific) and PSAT (Advanced Technology).
Functional Description, continued. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers are equipped with an internal antenna and the typical operating (transmitter) range is in excess of 500 feet (160+ meters). It should be understood that operating range varies with environmental conditions. Should the transmitter go out of operating range, all motions will cease.
Functional Description, continued. Ni-Cad battery packs can be re-charged ‘in-situ’ and do not need to be removed from the controller housing. To enable such battery charging to be carried out, a series of optional battery chargers are available for all CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers. One end of the charger is connected to the mains power outlet, the other plugs into a covered socket located within the bottom end cap.
Specifications, continued. Operator Control Functions – PSEZ & PSCS: Six large pushbuttons (three-step type only), plus two auxiliary function switches and a selector for motors A or B, or both A+B. Battery type: 3-Volt Alkaline Battery Pack (standard). 2.4 Volt re-chargeable Ni-Cad Battery Pack (optional). 3-Volt Alkaline Battery Adapter for use with quantity 2 ‘AAA’ size Alkaline batteries only (optional).
Overview – CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Remote Control Systems. Figure 1-1 below shows a simplified block diagram of a typical CATTRON-THEIMEG™ remote control system. Refer to this figure and the following paragraphs for a functional description of the remote control system. The target receiver/decoder is controlled by the Pendant Station Controller. Provided the correct coded ‘i-Key’ is inserted into the controller, the controller sends signals to the receiver/decoder using an UHF radio link.

Section 2 – Safety Information Safety Considerations. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ believes that to safely operate any remotely controlled equipment, the overall system needs to be configured so that movement or operation of the equipment will take place only when the device is commanded to move or operate. For example; overhead cranes must be equipped with a braking system, which can only be released when an electrical signal is sent to the motor.
Typical method of operation (incorporating above safety features) using a radio controlled overhead crane as an example: The Operate (OPR) relay(s) is energized for the first time when: The red STOP and rotary ON/OFF switches on the PS Controller are operated in the proper sequence (first unlatch and pull up STOP switch to ‘RUN’, then rotate ON/OFF switch to ‘ON’), the correct coded ‘i-Key’ is installed, and the target receiver/decoder has power applied.
Typical method of operation, continued. Figure 2-2 below shows the Operate (OPR) relay and optional Reset (RST) relay wired to control a mainline contactor. This configuration requires the operator to activate the reset function on the controller after he/she has turned the unit on. Once reset, the ML contactor stays energized until OPR de-energizes. In addition to being energized by the presence of a signal from the controller, OPR is under supervision of the Automatic Safety Override (ASO) circuit.
Radio Control Operator’s Duties – General Equipment. WARNINGS: ALL EQUIPMENT MUST HAVE A MAINLINE (ML) CONTACTOR INSTALLED AND ALL TRACKED EQUIPMENT (i.e. CRANES) HAVE A BRAKE INSTALLED. THE REMOTE CONTROL OPERATE (OPR) RELAY MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE MAINLINE SO THAT STOP COMMANDS OR FAULT CONDITIONS MONITORED BY AUTOMATIC SAFETY OVERRIDE (ASO) CIRCUITRY WILL DE-ENERGIZE THE MAINLINE CONTACTOR AND SET THE EQUIPMENT BRAKE.
