2Characteristics and design
2.1 Characteristics
The infrared manual remote control FB-606 is used to manually control and remote control controllers
that have the accompanying software and are fitted with a infrared interface.
The FB-606 supports two IR transmission speeds. Therefore it is compatible with vehicle controllers of
the 5xx, 6xx and 7xx series as well as vehicle controllers of the latest generation 8xx.
The remote control permits the switching of controllers to manual mode (hand mode) so that e.g. a ve-
hicle can be moved manually using various commands.
Thus, commands such as “Travel forwards/backwards” and “Hoist/Lower” can be given by pressing
the relevant buttons.
It is also possible to acknowledge errors using the manual remote control.
The various commands are transmitted to the controller using coded IR signals. These signals are
controller-dependent.
Functions!
The functions of the manual remote control are specific to projects.
The assignment of buttons to your controller is given in the separate descrip-
tions to your controller.

2.2 Design
The housing of the infrared remote control FB-606 is made of impact-resistant plastic.
The Keypad with 6 buttons on the remote control is simply to use and protected, which helps
prevent the buttons from being accidentally pressed.
The status of the remote control is monitored with a control LED.
IR transmit diodes for infrared transmission are located at the front of the device.
Die Power is supplied by a 9V block battery. The battery can be changed in the battery
compartment on the underside of the device.

3Operation of the FB-606
Warning!
Risk due to improper use!
Improper operation can lead to serious damage to persons or property.
During manual operation, ensure that there is no risk to persons from the man-
ual operation and that there are no persons in the working area of the vehicle.
3.1 Functioning
The 6 operating buttons on the remote control are used to remote control controllers and to
acknowledge errors.
The commands are transmitted via infrared. The control LED of the remote control is blinking when a
command is sent!
For remote control or acknowledge errors, the IR transmit cone must be directed with a tolerance of
+/- 20° towards the display window of the controller.
The range of the remote control to the receiver is at least 6 m.
at least
6 m
± 20 °
3.2 Switching On/Off
The infrared manual remote control FB-606 has no switch ON/OFF.
Using a button on the remote control, commands are sent immediately.
The buttons on the remote control are recessed, which helps prevent the buttons from being acci-
dentally pressed.

3.3 Selection of the transmission speed
The infrared manual remote control FB-606 supports two infrared transmission speeds.
Mode
Description
Fast infrared
Control-LED is blinking fast
Transmission rate 62500 bit/s
e.g. for controllers of the 6xx, 7xx and 8xx series
Slow infrared
Control-LED is blinking slow
Transmission rate 9600 bit/s
e.g. for controllers of the 5xx series
Select the transmission speed by pressing a hot key. The currently active mode is shown with the con-
trol LED.
1. Change “Slow infrared“:
Press the buttons , and →simultaneously for 5 sec. until the control LED on the remote con-
trol is blinking slow.

3.4 Remote control
Devices with Conductix/LJU controllers can be operated remotely via the infrared interface in the con-
troller display using the remote control. That means functions like driving can be manually controlled
using them.
To switch the controller in manual mode (hand mode) press the button of the remote control.
If the controller is in a manual operating mode, this is displayed by a flashing “H” in the controller dis-
play.
Button assignment!
The functions of the buttons are specific to projects.
An example is shown in the following table.
The assignment of buttons to your controller is given in the separate descrip-
tions to your controller.
Example button assignment:

breaking (clear buffer memory) and the movement will be stopped immediately.
3.5 Acknowledge errors
By switching the controller in manual mode “H“ and back to automatic mode errors can be acknowl-
edged.
Only acknowledge errors after troubleshooting.
