4 Product description
The FB-8 remote control is used for manual remote control of LJU vehicle
control systems. Both the remote control and the vehicle control systems
are equipped with the corresponding LJU software and have an LJU
infrared and/or Bluetooth interface.
The vehicle control system is addressed directly via infrared. In Bluetooth
mode, it communicates with the vehicle via a DataCom stick (DCS)
attached to the vehicle control system.
IR
DCS-8
Fig. 1
Infrared communication is unidirectional. Data is only sent to the control
system. Bluetooth communication is bidirectional. In this case, data can
also be received from the control system or the DataCom stick.
One function of the remote control is to remotely control vehicle control sys-
tems in manual mode.
Ä Chapter ‘Manual operation - manual mode’
on page 73
Before operating, select the vehicle with which you want to communicate.
This clear assignment is important to exclude wrong commands and
unplanned vehicle movements.
4.1 Structure
nThe remote control consists of an impact-resistant plastic housing with a
belt clip on the back.
nIt has an LCD display and a membrane keypad.
nThe transmitter diodes for IR transmission and the Bluetooth module
are mounted on the front of the device.

4.3 Operating the remote control with a rechargeable battery
The integrated charging circuit is optimised for a 9 V block NiMH recharge-
able battery. Li-Ion batteries can also be used as an alternative. Ä ‘Recom-
mended rechargeable battery types’ on page 20
The connection in the remote control is short-circuit-proof and reverse
polarity protected.
The battery can be charged from a USB host or a USB power supply (Dedi-
cated Charging Port - DCP).
NOTICE!
Deep discharge of the battery
If the battery type is set to alkaline in the remote control settings, it is
not automatically switched off when the final discharge voltage falls
below the set value.
If a rechargeable battery is inserted instead of a standard battery and is
allowed to deep discharge, the rechargeable battery may get damaged.
nCheck battery type in the settings
nDo not deep discharge rechargeable batteries
