Getting started How to use the control panel and the remote control for the boat hoist WARNING any adjustment to TigerShark not described in this manual or approved in writing by TeleRadio voids warranty and releases TeleRadio and its subsidiaries from liability due to improper handling or installation. The radio control system should only be used for functions such as starting and halting of an application. The radio control systems must not be a safetyrelated part of a control system.
TigerShark boat lift solutions Explanation of signs: Control panel = Quick press = Hold down/up Raise/lower the boat using automatic systems You can use the automatic systems to raise or lower the boat to a preset position by briefly pressing the boat up/down lever. The boat can be raised or lowered to the position set as the end point during installation. See page 12.
Raising/lowering the boat manually You can lower or raise the boat manually without using the automated stopping system. When the boat has been raised or lowered to its final position, the hoist turns off. The boat is only raised or lowered as long as the lever is held up or down. The boat can be lowered or raised to the position set as the end position. See page 12.
TigerShark boat lift solutions Adjusting the boat hoist level You can adjust the level of the hoist motors using the control panel. Do this by turning off one of the motors using the LEVEL breaker. This may be necessary if the boat hoist is on a slant or if a level adjustment must be performed for other reasons. WARNING! Be careful when adjusting the level, as too high an adjustment can endanger the boat hoist’s load.
Raising/lowering the boat outside of the boat hoist’s stopping positions. You can lower or raise the boat outside of the preset stopping positions for the boat hoist. This can be useful (i.e. at high or low tide), when the hoist doesn’t reach high or low enough. Hold the lever toward the STOP POSITION to get past the automatic stop. WARNING! Raising/lowering the boat outside of the preset end positions can lead to serious equipment damage if proper care is not exercised.
TigerShark boat lift solutions Remote control Raising/lowering the boat using remote control You can automatically* lower or raise the boat to a preset position by briefly pressing either the up or down button. The boat is lowered or raised to the position set as the end point during installation. Raising the boat automatically*: 1 2 Press both arrow buttons to turn transmitter power on. The LED turns on.
Lowering the boat automatically*: 1 2 Press both arrow buttons to turn transmitter power on. The LED turns on. 2 *) If your lift is not equipped with a limit switch, you do not have the automatic lift/lower functionality. You must then continuously hold the up/down button. Be aware that the lift can then be raised/lowered outside its maximum limits with possible equipment damage or personal injury as a result. Pressing the down button lowers the boat hoist to the stop position.
TigerShark boat lift solutions Other remote control functions: The remote control can also be used to control other objects on or around the boat. The standard remote control supports the control of two different objects. You will find suggestions below. Your re seller can provide you with a transmitter that allows you to control several objects at once. Contact your re seller for more information. Please note that extra equipment may be required.
Installation How to install the control panel WARNING! This section of the manual is only for licensed electricians and installers. Interference with high-voltage equipment is illegal for individuals without the required training/authorization. WARNING WARNING Hazardrous voltage Hazardrous voltage Wrongful handling may cause electric shock or burn. Can only be installed by licensed electrician. 11 Contact may cause electric shock or burn. Disconnect power before servicing.
TigerShark boat lift solutions Limit switch The limit switch is connected to the boat hoist motor. With the help of a microbreaker, this unit senses how high or how low the boat hoist has been moved. When the boat hoist is in the top position, a high position breaker cuts the power to the motor. When the boat hoist is in the bottom position, a low position breaker cuts the power to the motor.
Functional description of limit switch The limit switch, which connects to the engine axle, is turned when the engine axle is spinning, turning the breaker handle in turn. The breaker handle should be adjusted so that when the engine axle is spinning enough, (i.e. when the hoist is in the desired top or bottom position), the micro-breakers engage to cut the power to the motor. WARNING! Be careful to check which breaker handle is for the top position and which is for the bottom position.
TigerShark boat lift solutions Adjustment of limit switch (hoist) In order for the limit switch to work properly, it needs to be adjusted upon installation. This is done in two steps, first when the boat hoist is in the top position, and then when it is in the bottom position - this is when the breaker handles are adjusted. Adjust the boat hoist or the hoisting motors to the position that corresponds to the hoist’s top position. That is, the highest position you want to be controlled by “AUTORUN.
Adjusting the limit switch (lowering) In order for the limit switch to work properly, it needs to be adjusted upon installation. This is done in two steps, first when the boat hoist is in the top position, and then when it is in the bottom position - this is when the breaker handles are adjusted. Adjust the boat hoist or the hoisting engines to the position that corresponds to the hoist’s bottom position. That is, to the lowest position you want to be controlled by “AUTORUN.

TigerShark boat lift solutions Mounting the limit switch into the hoist motor The installation of the limit switch may vary depending on the type of boat hoist it is being installed on. Below are some examples. Limit switch Crankshaft Hoist motor In the image, the limit switch is mounted at a 90 degree angle to the crankshaft. The motor connection’s cogwheel on the limit switch is connected to a cogwheel on the boat hoist’s crankshaft.

SAFETY II stop function The Tigershark 2.0 has many safety features as standard in order to prevent problems. In order to make the lift even more secure an added control feature can be activated called SAFETY II. To activate this feature the lift has to be installed completely and tested. NOTICE! When using the SAFETY II function the lift should always be tested to verify that the programming was successful. Activating the SAFETY II function: 1.
TigerShark boat lift solutions General notice The TigerShark system is delivered in a 120V (1 phase 120V) version.
