VERSA REMOTE
1
DESCRIPTION:
KAR-TECH's VERSA REMOTE is a
state of the art microprocessor
based Radio Frequency (RF) and
Controller Area Network (CAN)
remote control system designed to
provide the machine operator
with the ability to remotely
operate equipment. The machine
operator is still required to follow
OSHA and other applicable
standards when operating the
equipment.
This system is designed with
Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) Technology and
Frequency Lock feature to
eliminate the RF interference
problem in Radio remote
products.
The control system consists of two
major modules: the remote
station (RF transmitter), and the
Remote Receivers (Digital
Controllers).
Each transmitter is
preprogrammed with a special
radio ID code. The receiver is
programmed to respond only to
the transmitter with the ID code
for which it is set. This feature
allows the equipment to work in
wireless mode in close vicinity of
each other without interfering
with each other. In the event that
a transmitter becomes damaged
and a new one is needed, the
receiver can be reprogrammed to
respond to the new transmitter.
Please refer to TRANSMITTER AND
RECEIVER ID CODE PROGRAMING
section of this manual for
additional information.
The remote station has two LED
indicators, the BATTERY and
TRANSMIT indicators. The red
BATTERY indicator starts blinking
when the battery voltage drops
below 9 volts and blinking speed
increases while the voltage is
decreasing. The transmitter is
powered by a rechargeable
battery and can be recharged by
the +12 volt electrical system of
the machine when connected to
the machine by the CAN/charger
cable or charger cable. An
optional AC charger can be used
to charge the battery.
Both frequency and duration of
use determine the operation time
of the battery. Power is being
used any time the transmitter
power is on. To turn transmitter
power off, turn off the power
switch on the transmitter. To
prolong the battery life and
efficiency, the pendant should not
