6.3 Features and Controls
This machine is designed specifically for remote control operation. This fea-
ture protects the operator by allowing him or her to stand at a distance from
the machine, and the work area, during operation. When used in excava-
tions, it allows the operator to stand safely above the trench, rather than in it.
The SC-3 transmitter (1) is designed for infrared (IR) remote-controlled oper-
ations only. The coil cord (2) is only used for charging the transmitter battery
or supplying power to the transmitter when there is no battery. No control
signals are sent through the cord.

The infrared system includes the transmitter and receiving eyes. This system
provides wireless line-of-sight operation up to 20 meters (65 feet). It uses a
handheld transmitter to transmit signals to the receiving eyes on the ma-
chine to control machine operation. Only one eye needs to receive a signal
for proper operation.
When operating multiple rollers within 20 meters (65 feet) of one another, it
is possible that the transmitter from one roller can inadvertently take control
of another roller. This can occur when multiple rollers are set to the same
control channel as that of one transmitter. To prevent the transmitter from
one roller inadvertently taking control of another roller, be certain that each
roller and its accompanying transmitter are set to a different control channel
than the other rollers/transmitters being used within the area. For further in-
formation,
see Infrared System and Control Channels on page 39 .
