5. INSTALLATION AND START-UP
5.1. INSTALLATION OF THE RECEIVER
The details of the installation of the receiver can be found in the corresponding manual.
It’s essential that you consult this manual before the start-up.
5.2. START-UP
Once the receiver is installed, when activating the general switch of the machine, the LEDs located on
the front of the receiver will light up to verify its correct operation.
Insert a charged battery into the remote control and the LEDs on the button panel will light up
sequentially to verify its operation. In case there is a problem with the EEPROM of the transmitter,
LED S1 will be on steady.
Switch off the emergency stop button (STOP PALMSWITCH). When the START button is pressed, the
remote control will start working by activating the stop relays and start relay, and the general contactor
will be locked. The LEDs
and S1 (Start LED) of the remote control will be activated indicating that
the remote control is in operating mode. From this moment on, the activation of any button will result in
the activation of the corresponding operation. The selected manoeuvre will remain active as long as
the button is pressed.
To keep the radio channel free and prevent the operator from accidentally leaving the machine
running when not in use, the remote control has been fitted with an automatic stop system. If no
intervention is made, this system acts after 180 seconds (configurable) sending a stop sequence to
the receiver, which will cause the machine to stop.
5.2.1. SETTING THE TRANSMISSION TIME
The configuration of the automatic stop time (default 180 seconds) is done from the pushbuttons, and
this time can be changed between three values as follows:
Lock the STOP BUTTON and remove the battery.
1)
Press any of the first two upper control pushbuttons and, keeping them pressed, insert the battery.
2)
Wait about 3 seconds and unlock the STOP BUTTON.
3)
Release the pushbutton and press it again.
4)
The LEDs
and
will flash simultaneously from one to three times indicating the time that
5)
has been programmed, which can be:
Mode 1: 180 seconds (one flash).
Mode 2: 330 seconds (two flashes).
Mode 3: continuous emission (three flashes).
Repeat the sequence successively to switch from one mode to another in a cyclical way. To activate
the remote control again, remove and reinsert the battery.
5.2.2. BATTERY STATUS
The transmitter is equipped with a battery status indicator LED. When the remote control detects that
the battery is at a certain level of discharge, the LED
will start flashing and the horn manoeuvre
will be activated intermittently (backup status of the autonomy). From this moment on, after
approximately 10 minutes, the transmitter switches off, sends a stop sequence to the receiver and the
LED
lights up permanently (empty battery).
