Dock

 Controls

GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

  iDock Controls are technologically 

advanced push-button controllers and light communication used with 

various McGuire loading dock equipment.  iDock Controls are standard 

with all automatic McGuire vehicle restraints, used with or without dock 

levelers.

CONSTRUCTION:

  iDock Controls are made with UL 4X Nonmetallic 

enclosures. The controls feature a modular design to reduce maintenance 

costs. 3-in-1 light assembly on the controller shows the state of the station 

and whether it is safe to enter the trailer. LCD display shows status of 

controls and explains fault conditions. Metal dome buttons provide positive 

feedback to the controls.

MESSAGE DISPLAY: 

 iDock Controls feature an LCD interactive 

message display for equipment information, system information, 

maintenance history, counters and settings. The operator presses the 

Menu button, then up and down arrows to navigate through the menu.  

Press Enter to advance one screen, or Menu to go back.  The Message 

Display will also provide notices of faults, or instructions for Bypass mode 

or a sequence of operation.

OPERATION:

 

 iDock Controls can be used to operate light communication, 

vehicle restraint, dock leveler, overhead door, and/or light accessories.  

The operator presses the appropriate dome button to operate each 

component.  Depending on the options selected, a sequence of operation 

can be applied to only allow operation of each component in a specific 

order.  If operation is attempted out of sequence, the controller’s Message 

Display will indicate the correct button to press next.

Using the controller Menu, the operator can place the dock equipment in 

Bypass mode if necessary, where the exterior light is red and an interior 

amber caution light accompanies a green light indicating to the dock 

attendant to proceed with caution.

EXTERIOR LIGHTS:

 

Low profile, traffic style, red and green LED lights 

opposite of interior lights are standard for communication to the truck 

driver. A set of caution signs warns the truck driver to “Back In or Pull Out 

On Green Light Only”.

WARRANTY:

 

 iDock Controls feature a full one (1) year base warranty 

on all structural, mechanical and electrical parts, including freight and labor 

charges in accordance with Systems, LLC’s Standard Warranty Policy. 

Systems, LLC warrants all components to be free of defects in materials 

and workmanship, under normal use, during the warranty period. This 

base warranty period begins upon the completion of installation or the 

sixtieth (60th) day after shipment, whichever is earlier.
