CERTUS WIRELESS REMOTE SYSTEM – INDUSTRIAL VERSION

Please read the manual thoroughly before installing or using the radio remote control. e customer must fully understand this manual. If

there are questions or concerns, please contact the company delivering the unit or the manufacturer. e radio remote unit is only allowed

for use in products whose use oers no danger for person or property if there is an interruption in transmission or receiving of the signal.

Additionally, there should be a manual emergency stop which is able to shut down the entire unit of machinery apart from the radio remote

stop. It is not allowed to use a radio remote control with machinery which could be subject to heightened accident risk. e manufacturer

cannot judge whether the proper procedure has been followed with the installation of the remote unit. Improper installation or improper

use of the remote unit by the user could result in injury or destruction of property. For that reason, the manufacturer cannot be responsible

for personal injury, property damage or loss of any time resulting from either improper installation, improper use or wrong use of the

product. Likewise, the manufacturer assumes no liability for damages resulting from improper maintenance. e manual should be kept

within easy reach and should be given to the next owner in case of a sale.

General Information

e system operates on a frequency of FM 869.85 MHZ (EU) or FM 914.5 (US) and utilizes frequency modulation

generally known as FM technology. While an FM signal is much less susceptible to electrical interference than an

AM signal, there can never be total protection against outside interference. Interference can result from the turning

on and o of electronic equipment and stronger interference can come from proximity to relay stations, industrial

equipment and types of computer equipment. Another interference factor could be the close proximity of strong

electric motors. e above factors should be considered when installing the wireless system. Also, the greatest range

will be achieved if the receiver is not enclosed in metal.

CERTUS WIRELESS REMOTE SYSTEM – INDUSTRIAL VERSION Please read the manual thoroughly before installing or using the radio remote control. The customer must fully understand this manual. If there are questions or concerns, please contact the company delivering the unit or the manufacturer. The radio remote unit is only allowed for use in products whose use offers no danger for person or property if there is an interruption in transmission or receiving of the signal.

2.1.5 Changing the battery To change the battery, open the back of the transmitter by removing the small screws behind the rubber protective cover. (Illustration 4 opening the back cover) After removing the cover, carefully remove the old battery and replace it only with one as described by the manufacturer. (see 2.1.2 Technical Data) Before installing the new battery insure that the connector is free from corrosion. Should this not be the case, any corrosion can be easily removed by means of a small brush.

2.2.3 Encoding the Receiver Before using the wireless for the first time or after installation before the electricity is delivered to the unit, the receiver must be matched to the transmitter. To do this, take off the clear top of the receiver (use proper screwdriver). After the top has been taken off set the code in the DIP switch. (see Illustration 6 Receiver components and illustration 5 Receiver picture) Set your personal code, which must be the same for the transmitter and for the receiver.

d) Automatic stop upon reaching end of operating distance The receiver can also move to standby automatically when the transmitter is used outside of safe operating distance. c) Time release For safety reasons the receiver also moves to standby mode when more than 5 minutes have elapsed between signals from transmitter to receiver. 2.2.7 Allocation fop Terminals There is a six pole connection terminal in the receiver box at the bottom right.

the system and run the wires through the connector units. If the receiver is being mounted on a vehicle, there should be four rubber grommets between the box and the body of the vehicle to reduce shock to the receiver. It is important to operate the machine with no electrical connection prior to the supply voltage being supplied to the receiver. After all components are connected the supply voltage can be delivered to the receiver.

5. Care and Maintenance Every year the wireless system should undergo a test administered by an expert in the field of wireless transmission. An expert is defined as a professional with a background in wireless transmission and with experience in this area. This person must also possess knowledge of regulatory environment involved with these products and with the safety rules and regulations of the country in which the system is operating.
