REMOTE CONTROL TROUBLESHOOTING 

GUIDE (MODELS BB302 AND MB50) 

Troubleshoot Receiver

STEP 5

Is the 

TX / RX

 LED on the receiver fl ashing 

amber

amber

?

(

TX / RX

 LED is LED #4)

YES:

Check the LEDs on the remote. Are the 

TX / RX

 LEDs 

fl ashing rapidly on the remote (10 times per second)?

Continue to test machine functions; move to STEP 6.

NO:

If the 

TX / RX

 LEDs 

ARE NOT

 fl ashing rapidly on the remote 

(10 times per second), try associating a known-good remote to the 
receiver.

If a new remote will not associate to the receiver, 

return the 

receiver for service.

If a new remote will associate to the receiver, 

return the remote to 

the factory for service.

STEP 6

The 

TX / RX

 LED on the receiver is fl ashing 

amber

amber

.

(

TX / RX

 LED is LED #4)

The 

TX / RX

 LEDs on the remote are fl ashing, but the 

remote is not controlling the machine.

If 

NO

 part of the machine can be controlled:

  Check supply voltage:

 

  Is the supply voltage over 28 volts? (Note: very fast “spikes” 

count - this may not be detectable on most digital volt 
meters)

YES: 

The receiver is faulting on an over-voltage condition; 
this requires power cycle (turn OFF, turn ON) to 
regain control. Inspect power supply (battery, battery 
lugs, alternator, wiring) and correct any issues.

NO: 

Continue on; voltage is not too high.

 

  Is the supply voltage under 7 volts?

YES: 

The receiver is starving for power. Load test the 
battery and check the power supply wiring.

NO: 

Check wiring to ensure that all hydraulic valve coil 
returns and any other output load returns are tied 
to the same point and that point is tied to battery 
negative and the “-VDC” (ground) pin on the receiver.
