4. Press the start button. The green LED will now light to indicate the transmitter is transmitting. Once

the Tx is connected, press any maneuver button and its corresponding relay will be activated. Check

to make sure all other maneuvers work in a coherent way with the expected movements.

Start up the device

1. Place a charged battery in the transmitter.

The battery must be charged following the instructions of the Battery Charger Manual.

2. Turn the contact key or Multikey to the position "I." It is not necessary to switch the contact key off

after use, however, it may be removed in order to deny access to the transmitter.

3. Push and pull out the STOP button.

LED status (blue)

LED will flash, blinking blue until it reaches the Stand-by mode (fixed blue). If the transmitter includes

a Display, it will display the identification of the machine, as well as the battery level, if it has been

pre-programmed.

4. Press the START button, and wait for the status LED to turn to fixed green.

LED status (green)

The status LED will start blinking green, meaning the transmitter is trying to connect with the

receiver. Once the Tx is linked, LED will turn to fixed green.

5. Press any of the transmitter's maneuver buttons and its corresponding relay will be activated.

6. Check to make sure all the maneuvers work in a coherent way with the expected movements by

checking the supplied production sheet, included with the system.

2. Place the batteries in the compartments of the battery charger.

3. Optional: If charging multiple batteries, wait at least 5 seconds before placing the second battery in

the other compartment.

Possible damage to battery!

Be sure to charge batteries in environments with temperatures over 0° C.

CB70 status LEDs

Each battery compartment has an LED that indicates the status of the batteries' charge.

Green LED; pulsing Battery is excessively depleted

Green LED; continuous Normal charging operation mode

Green LED; off Battery charging process is complete

The battery charger must be placed and used out of the danger area.

Battery Charging Recommendations

The battery lifespan is estimated to 500 recharging cycles and is largely dependent on the conditions of

use. To maximize the lifespan of the batteries and battery charger, follow these recommendations:

•Do not recharge the battery until it is completely flat, as shown with red LED slow pulse on the

transmitter

•Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 0° and 45°C (the batteries will not become fully

charged at temperatures exceeding 45°C)

•Do not leave the battery charger or batteries in a direct sunlight

•Charge batteries at least once every six months

•Avoid short circuits between the battery contacts; do not carry charged batteries in toolboxes or next

to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.)

•Always keep contacts clean

•Caution! Risk of Explosion if Battery is Replaced by an incorrrect type. Non Danfoss Battery use may

void warranty
