The receiver is connected via a connection cable to the system to be controlled. Please
observe the instructions of the system manufacturer when installing.
We strongly recommend establishing this connection via a central, easily
accessible plug connection (e.g. Tyco type (HTS) plug connection, series HE/
HB/HN/ HA, or a comparable one from a different manufacturer) to enable
a fast and precise error diagnosis for servicing and to be able to remove the
receiver without installation work.
The power for the receiver is supplied via the connection cable in most cases.
In general a ground cable (neutral conductor) must be installed for systems that have
never been operated with a radio control system. Otherwise the power for the receiver
electronics cannot be supplied! Please make sure that the operating voltage of the
receiver corresponds with the connection values of the system to be controlled. The
valid operating voltage is noted in the Annex.

A regular system test of the NBB radio control system is necessary for the maintenance
of operational safety. For single shift operation, we recommend performing this control
at least once a week. The control can be performed with the aid of the control lamps
located on the receiver. For this purpose, the transmitter must be ready for operation.

Only mount the receiver vertically to the external wall of the switch cabinet and make
sure that the antenna protrudes above the wall.
Make sure that the antenna is not partially or completely shielded by metal parts.
For installation in the cabin or switch cabinet, the antenna is installed on the outside
using the extension cable and attached with the mounting bracket as horizontal as
possible at a distance to the metal parts to be shielded.
The antenna should always be mounted so that it remains visible every time the loca-
tion of the transmitter is changed.

Completely charge the battery before initial use.
Never put an uncharged battery into operation as it can be destroyed as a
result.
Only completely discharged batteries should be charged.
Always remember to operate your controller until the capacity of the battery is
completely depleted.The battery only has its maximum capacity after five complete
charging and discharging procedures!
Completely discharge the battery in the control unit before charging again.
The charging time depends on the type of battery. It is normal for the battery to heat up
during charging or over long periods of use. Charge batteries at an ambient temperature
of 10 to 35° C. To prevent deep discharge, the battery should be recharged once
a month if not used. If the battery temperature is too high or too low, no charging
takes place. Deep discharge and extreme temperatures damage the battery. Heat in
particular reduces performance. To extend the service life of the battery, store the
charged battery in a cool and dry location. NBB is not liable for subsequent damage
due to incorrect use.
Safety information
Do not open, modify or burn the battery. Do not drop it or subject it to strong impact.
Protect the battery from rain, moisture and extreme temperatures. Keep the contacts
clean and make sure the battery does not come into contact with metal objects (e.g.
aluminium foil). Do not short circuit the battery.
Disposal
Do not throw away used batteries in household waste. Used batteries should be
disposed of according the local, state, and federal regulations.
Warranty
Any warranty claims for damage or premature wear due to non-observance of the above
operating and safety information shall be denied by NBB Controls.
A charged battery is a concentrated energy source! Never store the
battery in toolboxes, or similar, where there is a risk of short circuiting
due to metal parts (short circuit due to keys in trouser pockets is also
possible).
