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 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”. 

 Installation Considerations 

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

 

 

1.   Install Batteries 

 

Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter using a slotted screwdriver and insert 4 "AA" 
alkaline   batteries.  Orientation of the batteries is embossed inside the battery housing.  No batteries 
are required when the transmitter is connected to the receiver by a Tether 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 

 

Refer to the 

Light Legend

 below for diagram details.

Housing 

If the transmitter's (Active) light does not flash, check the battery orientation. 

 

To turn off the transmitter, press the [E-Stop] button. 

1. Press [E-Stop] 

2. Press any switch 

3. Twist Clockwise & Release [E-Stop] 

 Power the Transmitter 

WARNING: 

do not install batteries backwards, charge, put in fire, 

or mix with other battery types. May explode or leak causing in-
jury. 

Replace all batteries at the same time as a complete set 

and do not mix and match battery types. 

When the receiver has been installed, install batteries into the transmitter and turn it on as explained below.
