4.13. CombiDrive controller
The controller has either six or eight levers. Normally the
controller operates wirelessly via radio but it can also be
operated via cable. The controller is equipped with a menu
selection system as standard. The displays continuously
provide the operator with information.
Radio communication is dependent on:
• Radio for two-way communication fitted in the controller.
• Radio/decoder fitted at the crane base.
Information can be sent both from and to the controller. In
the decoder/radio there is a corresponding unit which
handles the traffic at the other end.
Cable connection:
A four-metre cable is supplied as standard with The
controller. The cable is intended to be used for short-term
operation and when pairing in conjunction with the
replacement of controller or decoder. The cable connects
to the vehicle at the connector (1) on the front of the
decoder.
When the cable is connected to the controller (2), the
centre display shows the symbol for cable operation.
4.13.1. Displays
The displays are of LCD-type and will perform best in temperatures above +10 °C. At 0 °C there is
a delay in shifting symbols of approximately 1 sec. At -20 °C the delay will increase to
approximately 8 sec. Alternating symbols will not be updated at temperatures below freezing.
In order to prevent inaccurate menu shifts, in temperatures below -10 °C there will be a delay
before any menu button will react to a second push. This can partly be avoided by storing the
controller in a compartment where the temperature e10 °C whenever not in use.
Centre display
The center display provides information about which menu has been chosen, as well as indicating
for example radio reception, battery status, fault information, ADC and VSL.
