1. Introduction
The Trident Remote Control System is a high performance, customizable remote
control system designed for a variety of different machinery. It consists of a single C220
Controller (to be installed into the machine), and one or more remote Handheld units.
Sophisticated firmware programs contained in the Handheld and C220 Controller
contain custom logic and algorithms for operating different types of machines. Operator
commands from the Handheld are combined with interlock logic to create a seamless and
convenient control experience for the user.
The C220 Controller and Handheld all have IP67 ratings and are sealed against
dust, dirt, water and most chemicals up to a submersion depth of one metre. Note,
however, that pressure-washing must not be used for cleaning the units. The Handheld is
shock-, drop- and crush-resistant against the most common rigors encountered in
industrial-use scenarios. Electrical connections to the C220 Controller are accomplished
through a sealed 30-way rectangular connector with retaining screw.
The Trident system can be used with several machine variants by way of
parameters which can be configured by the installer. This manual describes
considerations and procedures for installation, and gives instructions for adjusting
parameters to suit the machine being commissioned.
