4.2.2.3 START + AUX Function
After initiating the START function at transmitter startup, the same
START button becomes an auxiliary function with momentary
contact connected through the K30 Function output relay. There are
other types of auxiliary functions made available for K25, K26, and
K30 Function output relays (refer to Section 4.2.7). Please contact
a Magnetek representative if your application requires other types of
auxiliary functions connected to these Function output relays.
4.2.2.4 ON/OFF Pushbutton Function
The user can set any of the two adjacent pushbuttons on the transmitter to behave like a
mechanical ON & OFF rocker or toggle switch. ON output relay closes when ON pushbutton
is pressed (OFF output relay opens) and OFF output relay closes when OFF pushbutton is
pressed (ON output relay opens). Refer to Section 4.2.3.1 on how to set to this function.
4.2.2.5 Brake Function
When the transmitter pushbutton is released from 2
nd
speed up to 1
st
speed, both 1
st
and 2
nd
speed output relays will open for up to 1 second and then with 1
st
speed output relay closed
thereafter. Refer to Section 4.2.3.1 on how to set to this function.
4.2.2.6 External Warning Function
The user can install an external warning device (rotating lights, horn, etc.) to the K26 Function
output relay located inside the receiver. The user can choose which pushbutton pair (or pairs)
triggers the external warning device when pressed. Refer to Section 4.2.3.1 on how to set to
this function.
4.2.2.7 Momentary Contact
When the pushbutton is released, the corresponding output relay will open or deactivate.
This type of relay action usually applies to external applications such as horns and buzzers.
Refer to Section 4.2.3.2 on how to set to this function.
4.2.2.8 Toggled Contact
When the pushbutton is released, the corresponding output relay will maintain contact or
closure until next time the user presses the same pushbutton again. This type of relay action
usually applies to external applications such as lights. Refer to Section 4.2.3.2 on how to set
this function.
4.2.2.9 Pitch & Catch Function
This function allows two operators to control one crane from opposite ends of a cross or long
travel. When set to “Pitch & Catch” make sure the second transmitter is set to the next upper
channel (channel X+1). For example, if the system is set to channel 01, then the newly added
second transmitter must be set to channel 02 and with an identical serial number.
Furthermore, the channel dipswitch position #7 and #8 on the RF/decoding board must set to
“10” for 2-channel scanning (scans channel 01 and 02). Refer to Sections 4.2.2.10 and
4.2.3.2 on how to set to this function.
