IRC-Battery and Battery Charger
Together with the IRC-system there are two rechargeable batteries. The battery
is placed at the bottom of the remote control box and can be replaced by one
single movement.
Please note: A completely charged battery works for approx. 8 hours of remote
control operation.
The battery charger must by mounted in the driver’s cab where it is protected
against dirt and humidity. The charger must via a fuse be connected to 12 or 24
volts power supply directly to the battery of the vehicle. This is how charging is
made possible, also when the ignition is turned off.
Please note: It takes approx. 3.5 hours to recharge a battery that has been
completely discharged.
3.4.1 Replacement of the Battery
The transmitter electronics in the remote control box currently monitor the
battery voltage. When the voltage comes below a certain value after approx. 8
hours of operation, the following is indicated:
•
The buzzer in the remote control box gives a periodic signal during 30
seconds.
•
Then the remote control box is disconnected
Now the battery has to be replaced by a recharged battery from the battery
charger.
Follow the procedure below:
•
Move the loader into a safe position within the 30 seconds of the periodic
signal from the buzzer
•
Turn the key switch on the right side of the remote control box into position
“0”
•
Take out the discharged battery from the remote control box
•
Clean the battery compartment and make sure that the pole connectors are
normally spring-loaded and not corroded
•
Put a recharged battery from the battery charger up into the battery
compartment and press it into position so that it is fixed and has a good
electric connection
•
Start up the remote control box according to the chapter: “Starting Up of the
IRC-System”
The radio remote control is now ready for operation.
