Cattron Remtron OCUs User manual

Quick Start Guide
Remtron™OCUs (RLC & RLM)
Why is the OCU different?
Legacy Remtron Operator Control Units (OCUs) have been affected by supply chain issues related to their
microcontrollers. To provide product continuity, we migrated the affected systems to either a Remtron 411 or 611
OCU operating in Legacy mode.
Disposable Batteries
OCUs with disposable
batteries (AA type) have
cross head screws
securing the battery
cover.
OCU Turn ON, Turn OFF and Status
•Turning on the OCU is very slightly different and requires the ON button to be
pressed twice.
•The first Press wakes the OCU from a sleep state and triggers a full diagnostic
test of the electronics and switches, when complete the LEDs 1 and 2 illuminate
to indicate the state of the battery charge where GREEN, GREEN would be fully
charged and RED, RED almost completely depleted, the OCU is now in a
PASSIVE State.
•The second press of the ON buttons starts the OCU transmitting to control the
machine, the Stop switch will flash quickly while transmitting, or slowly when not
transmitting in utility (momentary transmission) mode systems.
•To Stop the machine, Press the Stop button and the OCU returns to a PASSIVE
non-transmitting state.
•If the STOP button is then pressed for 3 seconds the OCU will power down, or if
the OCU is left for three minutes it will power down on its own.
•When transmitting, if the battery is low the top center Status LED will flash
Amber, or if the battery is almost depleted it will flash Red and the OCUs haptic
function will also vibrate every 10 seconds.

Added features of the new OCU
•The 411 meets the latest functional safety requirements for ISO13849 PL-d
•The position of the Start and Stop buttons has been exchanged.
•Switch life is in the millions of operations.
•There is enhanced LED and Haptic feedback.
•A rechargeable battery option and drop-in charger is available as an option.
•Closed-box programming can be done over Bluetooth using CattronLink™, available for download at cattron.com.
Functional differences of the new OCU
•The Stop Button flashes red rapidly when the OCU is transmitting.
•The Stop button flashes red slowly when ready to transmit but currently waiting for a command when in
Momentary Transmission (utility) mode.
•The OCU can only be turned on using the ON button and can only be turned off with either the Stop button or the
normal OCU timeout function.
•The ON button can also send a command
•The Stop button cannot be used as a function other than E-Stop.

Changing the Code (Frequency and Address with CattronLink™)
These OCUs no longer use the RAC programmer to set the Code, instead the code is set wirelessly using
CattronLink™that is freely available to download from Cattron’s website. Then follow the instructions below.
NB: OCU Automatic OFF delay is set by default to 15 minutes for Continuous Transmission (CT) systems and 50
minutes for Momentary Transmission (MT) systems but can be adjusted between 1second and 3000 seconds (50
minutes), or a value of 0 is infinite (will not time out and user need to press Stop to turn it off.)

Changes to AutoLink (applies to systems with this feature)
Because the Stop switch design is to a higher safety level requiring it to send a Stop command and then power
down the OCU, it can no longer be used to send an AutoLink command.
1. Turn on your controller by pressing the ON button twice so the Stop switch is flashing.
2. Switch on the Radio Remote Receiver and check to see the ‘POWER’ LED is lit.
3. Press and hold the receiver’s ‘AUTO LINK™’ Touch Pad (switch) and observe that the ‘SIGNAL’ LED lights
up with two short blinks.
4. Locate the transmitter within five feet of the receiver antenna.
5. Press and hold the two transmitter buttons highlighted below and observe the receiver’s ‘SIGNAL’ LED. When
the ‘SIGNAL’ LED is continuously lit (no blinks), the receiver has ‘learned’ the frequency channel and address
(ID Code) of the transmitter.
6. Release the receiver’s ‘AUTO LINK™’ switch, followed by the transmitter buttons.
NB: If the receiver’s ‘SIGNAL’ LED does not switch from blinking to solid, the old transmitter ID code will remain in
receiver memory.
