Transmitter Battery
Housing
1. Install the batteries in the transmitter
Batteries are installed in the transmitter by removing the battery cover using a slotted
screwdriver and inserting 4 “C” alkaline batteries. Orientation of the batteries is em-
bossed inside the battery housing. No batteries are required when the transmitter is con-
nected to the receiver by a Pendant cable.
NOTE:
For operation at temperatures below –10° C lithium batteries are recommended. Low temperatures
reduce battery performance for both alkaline and lithium types. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s specifications
for detailed information on low temperature performance.
2. Turn on the transmitter
Mounting and Installation
The receiver can be mounted by fastening two ¼” bolts through the two mounting holes in the unit’s enclosure. When
mounting, ensure that the receiver is oriented so that the text is reading right and the connectors pointing “down”.
When selecting a mounting point for the receiver, it is recommended that the location require only a minimal length of wir-
ing to connect it to the control panel, that it will be in a visible area where it has good exposure to the operator and that it
is mounted on a surface that sustains minimal vibration. It is also recommended that the receiver have the best possible
line of sight with the transmitter
Power Connections and Wiring
Whenever a power connection is made to an electronic device, it is a good practice to make both the Power (+) and
Ground (-) connections directly to the Battery and avoid connecting the power from the charging side of existing wiring or
making use of existing "ACC" or other peripheral connection points.
Make sure that wire of sufficient gauge and insulator type is used when connecting the outputs of the receiver to the con-
trol panel. Observe any component manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for proper integration of their prod-
uct. This includes the power ratings and requirements of such components as relays, valves, solenoids, etc.
Be sure to test each of the outputs with a multi-meter prior to connecting the outputs to your end devices. This will ensure
that each output has been programmed to operate in the manner required by each end device.
Filtering and Noise Suppression
Whenever a solenoid or electromagnetic switch is controlled by the receiver, it is a good practice to install a Diode across
its terminals to ensure that surges and spikes do not continue back into the circuit. Appropriate 36V Bi-directional Diodes
kits can be ordered under the OMNEX part number “AKIT-2492-01”.
A. Press the [E Stop]
B. Press and release [Power] switch
C. Turn CW & Release [E-Stop]
Installation Considerations
Power the Transmitter
Ensure all transmitter switches and paddles are in the neutral position. Turn on the transmitter by, pressing and
releasing the [Power] switch The RED (E-Stop) light will flash quickly. Release the [E-Stop], the yellow (Active) light
on the transmitter will begin to flash.
WARNING: do not install batteries backwards, charge, put in fire, or mix with other battery types. May explode or leak causing injury.
Replace all batteries at the same time as a complete set and do not mix and match battery types.
NOTE:
The FCC and ISC require that the antenna be restricted to that supplied by the manufacturer and approved for use with this product. An op-
tional 0dB coax wire antenna may be supplied. For other antenna options, please contact OMNEX Control Systems ULC
