Introduction 

The CommandPro

®

 Wireless Control Systems are designed for control of industrial and commercial equipment. 

These rugged controls are built to survive the wear and tear of life in factories, mills, and construction industries. 
The 23 Series is designed especially for the mobile markets. These systems comply with requirements for 
operation under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This means neither the operator nor the company 
need apply or register for a license to operate this equipment. 

The basic system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends commands to the receiver by 
means of radio waves in the 900 MHz band. Receivers operate from 12 VDC vehicle power. Operation from 24 
VDC is also available. 

4.1 

ID Codes 

Each transmitter and receiver can be programmed for any one of 81 operating frequencies, plus a 16-bit address 
code. A single ID Code is used to set and identify both the frequency and address. There are millions of codes so 
that no two systems will ever be assigned the same code unless specifically requested for a particular application. 

Each system is fully programmed and tested before shipment from the factory and should require reprogramming 
only in the case of spare management (see 

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

). 

4.2 

Programming 

One of the key features of the decoder is Cattron

’s exclusive Manufacture Application Program (MAP). The MAP 

determines how the outputs are directed, what type they are, how they operate, what safety criteria is required, 
and what processing time should be used for each one. In short, the MAP allows Cattron to match the control 
requirements of almost any system. Cattron programs the MAP at the factory. 

4.3 

Programming Accessories 

A stand-alone, portable handheld programmer, RAC16A, is available for most applications. It provides a 
convenient method for changing the ID Code and making basic application changes to transmitters and receivers. 

4.4 

AutoLink 

Some receivers are provided with the AutoLink system which allows the receiver to copy the ID code from any of 
the 23 Series transmitters by the push of two buttons. 

4.5 

Options 

 

Custom Labels

.

 Custom labels are available from the Cattron factory to best suit your application. 

 

Custom Programming

.

 Output relays can be programmed to meet special control requirements. 

 

First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS)

The First-Come-First-Serve option allows use of multiple transmitters 

with one receiver, one at a time. The receiver scans a preset list of ID Codes. When a valid signal is 
received, the receiver stops scanning and responds only to that transmitter’s signal. When the signal is no 
longer being received (i.e., the transmitter has been turned off or is out of range), the receiver again 
scans until another valid signal is received. 

 

Multiple Receivers Controlled by Multiple Transmitters

One transmitter can control up to a maximum 

of six receivers with a rotary selector switch. 

 

Extended Range Antenna

.

 An extended range 900 MHz antenna, Model RCA7, is available for special 

applications that require increased range.
