The system includes a base board, or mother board,
which includes all of the common function circuitry
found in most receivers.Thesefunctions
include power regulation, decoding the received signal,
12 digital output functions, and the Quick-Set function.
The base board also contains diagnostic LEDs that are
visible on the outside of the transmitter housing to help
quickly diagnose problems.
FUNCTION SPEED ADJUSTMENT
This procedure requires that the receiver is connected
to the machine, all necessary wiring is complete and a
fully charged battery is in the transmitter.
IMPORTANT: The crane must be located in an open
area so that sudden or unexpected crane movements
will not damage buildings or property. All power lines
must be out of reach of the boom. Set the outriggers in
the "out and down" position as recommended by the
crane manufacturer and be sure the crane is stable.
For specific instructions, refer to the crane
manufacturer’s operator manual. Allow the truck
engine to run at "Idle".
1. Use the crane’s manual controls to raise the
boom from its rest. Extend the boom to a safe
starting point.
2. The transmitter must be attached to the operator
with the belt adjusted to a firm fit.
3. Turn the receiver power "ON".
4. Remove the black key from the transmitter
keyswitch.
