Manual Control Screen
When the Remote Control Vector Elite Software Application is launched the Manual Controls screen will
open. The remote control buttons allow the user to winch the rope up and down and to move the trolley
along the track in either direction.
A minimum tension of 0.5 lbs. (0.23 kgs.) must be applied to manually winch down the rope. This is
achieved by allowing the spreader bar to hang freely. This minimum tension prevents damage to trolley
hardware pieces including the winch drum, finger guard, and rope. If at any time a manual winch down
is initiated, or in process, and the minimum tension is not detected, you will see a warning message.
See Figure 9-2.
Figure 9-2: Remote Control Warning Message Window
Once the minimum tension of 0.5 lbs. (0.23 kgs.) or more has been applied by allowing the spreader bar
to hang freely, the amount of unloading will be displayed in green. Press Close to exit out of the warning
message window and continue to winch down.
If you must continue winching down without the minimum tension of 0.5 lbs. (0.23 kgs.), check the
Override box to enable the winch down button on the popup screen. Once complete, press Close, and
continue using the system normally.
Training Controls Screen
The Training Controls screen is used to activate and/or deactivate the Trolley Tracking and Dynamic
Body Weight Support (DBWS). The screen is also used to adjust the Fall Prevention setting and the
Dynamic Unloading setting.
