1General
Product Features
The FS-100 electronic transmission system serves as a wireless alternative to conventional wired
remote controllers within a wide range of machine applications. Application examples are amongst
other things conveying and lifting equipment in industry or forestry.
The radio range of the system is (depending on the visual contact or building development) between
8 and 200 meters.
Product Components
1.2.1 Transmitter Module FT-100
The battery powered controller with three (optionally
four) transmission channels is located in a fracture and
impact resistant industrial housing. Each channel
corresponds to a switching application via pushbutton
or switch. The battery life is about 4 years. The internal
12 volt battery (Type MN21 23A) can be replaced by
loosening the 4 upper Phillips screws (see
section
5.2).
Functioning: The FT-100 transmitter module sends
serial data to the FR-100 receiver and then evaluates
the feedback from the receiver.
For a detailed component description refer to chapter
5.
1.2.2 Receiver Module FR-100
The FR-100 receiver component with switching
function has a 12 …24 VDC voltage supply input and
is equipped with four potential-free changeover
relay outputs for switching the respective
pushbutton or switch.
Functioning: The radio receiver FR-100 evaluates the
radio signals of the FT-100 transmitter module and
switches one or more of the four potential-free
changeover relays ON and / or OFF. The switching
mode "Key" or "Toggle" can be set individually for
each individual relay contact.
For a detailed component description refer to chapter
6.

4Operating Range
The FS-100 radio system is designed for a large operating range of up to 200 meters. Walls including
steel reinforced concrete can be penetrated. The maximum range can be achieved under optimum
conditions and by line-of-sight contact between transmitter and receiver without disruption by
external high frequency disturbances.
The following are possible causes that could reduce range of operation:
Obstructing buildings, vegetation or other factors will substantially reduce the operating
range.
The distance between the antenna and the operator’s body or other conducting objects
(e.g. Earth) may influence the operating range.
Background “electrical noise” could be relatively high so that the signal-to-noise-ratio may
decease and therewith the operating range. Also other devices, with similar operating
frequency, operated in the neighborhood of the receiver may reduce the sensitivity.
Operating the receiver adjacent to badly shielded electronic components (e.g. PCs) that can
produce electromagnetic distortion, may severely reduce the range of operation and could
result in intermittent operation.
Adjustable and open components should not be adjusted or modified!
5Description FT-100 (Handheld Transmitter)
Baery Supply
The handheld transmitter is powered internally by a 12 volt MN21 23A battery. This is already
included in the delivery. The battery life is up to 4 years, depending on the type of loading and
application. If the range is greatly reduced or no function tripping is possible, the battery must be
replaced. A battery monitoring LED is only equipped when ordering a FS-100 system with option „L“
(see 8). The procedure for changing the battery is described below.
Baery Change
Procedure for changing the battery:
1. Loosen the 4 upper Phillips screws
2. Turn the device over and remove the bottom cover
3. Remove the battery and insert a new one
Please pay attention to the correct polarity
and only use batteries of the type MN21 23A
(recommended: Duracell 12 V MN21 Alkaline).

LED Funcons and Acousc Beeper (Opon „L“)
The functions described in this section are only available if option "L" has been ordered!
The FT-100 hand-held transmitter allows remote control of three (optional up to four) functions of a
FR-100 receiver. The user gets information about the radio system and the communication by the
following visual and auditory signals:
LED 1 (green) flashes 3 times per second while pressing a button:
Proper reception is acknowledged
LED 1 (green) double-flashes 3 times per second while pressing a button:
Proper reception is acknowledged and transmitter battery is low
LED 1 (green) flashes often within 2 seconds: The receiver does not answer
LED 2 (red) blinks 3 times: Weak receiver supply
LED 2 (red) blinks 8 times: Critical receiver supply
LED 3 (red) lights when a button is pressed: key lock is active (option)
1 x Beep: switch on acknowledgement received
1 x Beep: switch off acknowledgement received
3 x Beep after 2 seconds: No switch on acknowledgement received
3 x Beep after another 2 seconds: No switch off acknowledgement received
FR-100 receivers acknowledge a proper reception by using the weak receiver supply signal.
Each transmitter has an individual serial number. If more transmitters for one receiver are used, than each
transmitter must be programmed to the receiver.
With a FR-100 receiver it is possible to learn transmitters with or without acknowledgement. The
corresponding learning process may result in a reconfiguration of the transmitter. This may lead to
incompatibility with receivers, which have previously learned this transmitter.

Keylock Funcon (Opon „T“)
Important note: The interlock function (Option „T“) is supplied on request only, as this feature is
unsuitable for most industrial applications. In addition, it can only be implemented for the FS-101
version with four channels (switches / buttons) and together with the "L" option, since all four
switches / buttons and the LED functions are required for this.
You can find information about the order options in the section Type Designation / Order Code 8.
5.4.1 Activate Keylock Function
Press and hold push button 3 und 4 for at least 2 seconds until LED 3 indicates the activation. Please
take in account that during this time the radio function 3 and 4 is transmitted. After activation no
radio signal is transmitted anymore. At any time you press one of the push buttons LED 3 will
indicate the activated keylock function.
5.4.2 Deactivate Keylock Function
Press first push button 1 followed within 1.5 seconds by push button 4. Please take in account that in
this case the radio function 4 is transmitted.
Frequency Change (f1 / f2)
The module can be operated with two different operating frequencies:
f1 = 433.62 MHz (standard setting)
f2 = 434.22 MHz (optional setting)
In rare cases it is necessary to change the frequency because of interference from other devices.
In this case, the unit can be factory set to the second operating frequency. For this you have to send
the transmitter module back to the manufacturer.
The associated receiver must then also be switched to the second frequency. The procedure for this
is described in section 6.3.

6Description FR-100 (Receiver)
Power Supply Voltage
The receiver module type FR-100 needs a power supply of 12 …24 VDC. The used supply has to
deliver about 200 mA with active relays. The corresponding terminals are marked on the internal
board as + (12 ... 24 VDC) and (0 V / GND). The board is accessible by removing the housing cover.
Relay Switching Funcons
Each switch or button of the transmitter FT-
100 is permanently assigned to a relay contact
of the receiver module FR-100 and activates
the respective contact when actuated.
You may select between Key- or Toggle-
function separately for each relay by putting
Jumper X1 to X4 in position 1:1 (key function)
or in position ON/OFF (toggle function).
If the key function (1:1) is selected the relays
will stay activated as long as the transmitter
key remains active, while the toggle function
permits to switch on and off the relay with the
same transmitter key (each signal command
puts the relay into the opposite state).
The relays are connected via the respective
screw terminals which are indicated on the
board.
Frequency Change (f1 / f2)
The module can be operated with two different operating frequencies:
f1 = 433.62 MHz (standard setting)
f2 = 434.22 MHz (optional setting)
By default, jumper X5 is in position f1. To select the working frequency f2, set the jumper to position
f2 and restart the receiver. Please note that the corresponding transmitter also has to be switched to
f2 (refer to section 5.5).
7Installing the FT-100 / FR-100 System
For the location of the FR-100 receiver module, select a place which is not shielded by conducting
objects and position the antenna in such a way that it is not subject to interference from the rest of
the circuit and is parallel to the transmitter antenna.
Connect the supply voltage to the input 12 … 24 VDC and the POWER LED will turn on.
Take care of the technical data and of the supply polarity (8). Maximum supply
voltage is 24V DC. Higher supply voltages will destroy the receiver. In continuous
operation of all 4 relays the supply voltage must not exceed 12 V.

Programming the FT-100 Switches/Buons
In order to learn a transmitter or a key it is necessary to switch from the normal receive mode to a
learn mode by specific pressing of the LEARN/ERASE button (see Figure 5). After that a switch or
button of the FT-100 transmitter has to be pressed in a distance of no less than 1m.
Following learn modes are available:
7.1.1 Learn Mode I:
Learn a transmitter with acknowledgement of the transmitter signal. Press the LEARN/ERASE button
1 x shortly. The light of the LED beside the button interrupts 1 x every 2 seconds.
7.1.2 Learn Mode II:
Learn a single key with acknowledgement of the key signal. Press the LEARN/ERASE button
2 x shortly. The light of the LED beside the button interrupts 2 x every 2 seconds.
7.1.3 Learn Mode III:
Learn a transmitter without acknowledgement of the transmitter signal. Press the LEARN/ERASE
button 3 x shortly. The light of the LED beside the button interrupts 3 x every 2 seconds. The
corresponding transmitter is configured automatically.
7.1.4 Learn Mode VI:
Learn a single key without acknowledgement of the key signal. Press the LEARN/ERASE button 4 x
shortly. The light of the LED beside the button interrupts 4 x every 2 seconds. The corresponding
transmitter is configured automatically.
Each learn mode returns to normal receiving mode if a valid signal has been received, or if the
LEARN/ERASE button is pressed again, or if the learn- and erase mode is already active more than 30
seconds.
The receiver module may learn up to 60 different transmitter codes. A successful learn process will
be signalized by a flash of the LED besides the LEARN/ERASE button. Possible causes for failed learn
processes are a full list of learned transmitters or the list contains already the transmitter.
Check for error free operation of the receiver by pressing the transmitter buttons desired. The state
of each relay is indicated by appropriated control LEDs.
Delete FT-100 Transmiers or Keys
In order to erase a transmitter or a key it is necessary to switch from the normal receive mode to an
erase mode by specific pressing of the LEARN/ERASE button. Keep the LEARN/ERASE button pressed
down for at least 3 seconds. The LED beside the button begins to flash. Pressing afterwards a FT-100
transmitter key in a distance of no less than 1 meter causes the erasure of all list entries
corresponding to this transmitter. Instead of pressing a transmitter button you can press the
LEARN/ERASE button for at least 3 seconds again to clear the whole list of learned transmitters.
If you are sure that all functions are properly working you may start wiring of the relay contacts. If
the relay voltage exceeds 40 V, ensure that the receiver is free of voltage before perform starting
wiring.
