The donut range function is programmed in such a way that a minimum and maximum distance is set in which a transmitter may operate, in this way it functions as a safety check for the user.

In order to operate an application, such as an excavator, safely, it is important to set boundaries within a certain area. The donut range, on the remote control, detects within which pre-programmed distances it is safe to activate an excavator.

This custom programmable safety check analyses that the excavator operator is not standing too close to the machine, preventing dangerous situations. Too much distance, between man and machine, results in limited visibility and can also cause a safety risk. For this reason, a maximum distance is programmable.

Does your application and / or work environment require even more built-in security? Various safety functionalities, such as free fall detection and zero position check , are possible on our custom systems.

The PUMA is a highly advanced radio remote control system that can be custom programmed for any truck or other type of motor vehicle.

With a remote the user has full control over a heavy vehicle, such as a truck, while he is outside the cab. This way the user has more flexibility and overview of the situation which increases the safety around the truck. Apart from safety, a remote control also offers work efficiency; one person using a remote control can perform the work of two persons.

This video shows how the 杏吧专区 Radio PUMA system controls and drives around a Volvo Exster * truck.

(*External steering)

The truck in the video is a Volvo VEINSUR truck, model FMX 540 10 脳 4, equipped with a PALFINGER PK 200002 L SH High Performance loading crane. This truck has been delivered to Transgruas J. Salavedra.

The PUMA system connects directly to the truck via the Exster interface, allowing for quick and easy installation. If desired, it is possible to program the control of the crane in the same way.

The PUMA control system is custom programmable to your specific needs. Functionalities such as driving forwards and backwards, stopping and turning are no problem at all. As a safety measure, the truck has a speed limit of 10 km / h.

Volvo Reus Fleming was the first Volvo dealer to bring the above mentioned technology to the Spanish market. Other leading dealers in Spain, such as Volvo Veinsur, are also following this innovative development and offering their customers similar applications.

Our PUMA transmitter contains an accelerometer. Measures the “free fall” of the remote control. If the accelerometer detects that the transmitter is falling, it immediately activates the emergency stop. How the transmitter responds to a free fall signal can be programmed according to the application for which the transmitter is used.

In many workshops, heavy objects, such as a concrete block or a boat, are moved via an overhead crane. There may be a situation where the operator of an overhead crane drops the transmitter from his hands while the heavy object is hanging from the crane.

To ensure that the transmitter does not simply release a triggered function, in this case holding an object during its fall, the accelerometer detects this and ensures that the function continues to operate.

The accelerometer also ensures that buttons / switches on the transmitter are not accidentally activated when the transmitter hits the ground. This guarantees safety in the workplace.

What is a zero-position check and what does it do?

The zero-position check is a programmed control function to prevent unsafe work situations. All our 杏吧专区 Radio, radio remote controls with an emergency stop have this function. The zero-position check verifies – when the remote control is activated – whether the buttons and / or switches of the remote control are in a neutral position. If this is not the case, the remote control will indicate it. For example, a button has been pressed or a switch is turned on. The remote control does not become active until all buttons or switches are first in the neutral position.

This control function can be used for various activities; for example, with a glazier who installs windows. The installation of windows in a building is done with a glass vacuum fitted with strong suction cups. With our 杏吧专区 Radio transmitters, these types of glass vacuums can be safely controlled remotely.

The zero-position check is very important to prevent the glass vacuum from dropping the window suddenly. This is programmed in such a way that, when the user of the remote control is outside the range of the glass vacuum, the zero-position check function ensures that the suction cups of the glass vacuum continue to hold the glass pane and do not let go. This significantly reduces the risk of glass damage and serious accidents.

The way in which the zero-position check should respond to prevent unsafe situations depends on the application. This requires customization and we can provide this. In case you would like to get some free advice, we are happy to talk to you to find out how we can meet your specific wishes. Feel free to contact us here!

In our industrial remote controls, you can find various types of batteries:

1. Li-ion
2. NiMH
3. Alkaline Triple A and 9V block

The different kinds of batteries

Li-ion

The Li-ion battery is the best rechargeable battery we have in our remotes. Lithium-ion batteries are well known because of their long lifespan. In comparison to other battery types the Li-ion batteries belong to the highest category of energy density. Energy densityinvolves the capacity of energy that is stored per mass or volume unit.

You can find these batteries in our 杏吧专区 Radio PANTHER remotes T17-8, T17-12 and T19-2, all of our TIGER remotes and not to forget our PUMA product line. One type of battery for all these transmitters increases the efficiency in, for example, a workshop, when several batteries can be charged in the same charging station. Apart of what you might expect, Li-ion batteries don鈥檛 need to be expensive. At 杏吧专区 Radio we offer our clients a Li-ion at a reasonable price. Because this battery is used on many 杏吧专区 Radio systems, we always have this plenty in stock.

We also provide a variety of accessories suitable for the remotes that work with the Li-ion batteries. We have a charging station that can be mounted on the wall, a charging station for in a truck, and we also provide the option of a charger with a cigarette lighter plug. All of our larger 杏吧专区 Radio TIGER and PANTHER remote controls with a safety stop function at the bottom have the opportunity to charge their batteries internally using a charger cable.

Our 杏吧专区 Radio PUMA transmitters also feature hot swapping technology. Hot swapping means that our PUMA transmitters do not fail during a battery change. Our PUMA remote controls have two internal Li-ion batteries, one of these batteries prevents the remote from falling out.

NiMH

The NiMH battery, known as the nickel metal hydride battery, is also rechargeable. Unlike the precursor of the NiMH, called NiCD, the NiMH is a lot less environmentally harmful. In the past the excessively toxic substance cadmium was used within batteries. Since January 2005, the European Union decided to prohibit the usage of cadmium by law. 杏吧专区 Radio only uses this NiMH battery in our prior product lines, the 杏吧专区 Radio 860 LION for example. Our newer product ranges use the Li-ion battery since these are less harmful to our planet in comparison to the NiMH battery.

Alkaline Triple A / 9V block

The Alkaline Triple A battery is the battery you find in every household. It is compact and used frequently in various electronical products. This is also the case in our T60 and T20 transmitters. There are two T60 transmitters that are equipped with the 9V block battery. This battery is also made of Alkaline.

The use of our transmitters with the Alkaline batteries is especially recommended for incidental use of the transmitter. If a transmitter is used intensively, we recommend the transmitters with a Li-ion battery, because they are rechargeable and have a longer lifespan.

Temperature

As you may know, temperature has its effect on the battery. Low temperatures slow down the chemical reactions in the battery, which reduces the power in the battery. In contrast, heat makes the battery work harder, which can cause battery leakage. To prevent corrosion, we therefore recommend that you always remove the batteries from the devices when they are not used for a long time.

Throwing away batteries

Be aware of the impact batteries have on our environment. They should never be thrown away with the regular garbage. A battery contains substances that are harmful to our planet, such as manganese and lead. You can find collection points at various shops, such as supermarkets. This is not only convenient for consumers, but also for businesses.

Guarantee

Of course, you do not want the warranty of your 杏吧专区 Radio product to expire! Therefore, it is important to remember that our 杏吧专区 Radio batteries must be used in all our transmitters. If this is not the case, keep in mind that the warranty of the product will expire.

The post The battery in our products appeared first on 杏吧专区 Radio.

If there is an error message or the transmitter is out of range of the receiver, the certified safety stop function will automatically activate. The tilt and drop sensor automatically shuts down the system in the event of an unexpected, potentially dangerous movement. This prevents unwanted button presses and activation of functions and guarantees the necessary safety.

What is a PLd / SIL3 certification?

The abbreviation PLd stands for 鈥楶erformance Level d鈥� and the abbreviation SIL stands for 鈥楽afety Integrity Level鈥�. Both are a method of assessing electrical, electronic and programmable electronic systems. This method determines to what extent a system can fail, the probability in which this can happen and the severity of the consequences. After the determination, one can look at how the risk of dangerous failure can be reduced to an acceptable level.

The certified safety stop function of 杏吧专区 Radio meets the highest possible certification: PLd / SIL3.

Is your wireless remote control certified by an independent organization?

A PLd / SIL3 certification is not required by law, but it is very important for guaranteeing safety. Therefore, always ask for the certificate from your supplier and make sure that this certificate is issued by an independent party (Notified Body).

Safety certifications are often a requirement in the offshore, in automated access systems, in the operation of cranes and winches, in the chemical and process industries.

What is the difference between a stop button function and an safety stop function?

Finally, a brief explanation of the difference between a 鈥榮top button function鈥� and an 鈥榮afety stop function鈥�. 杏吧专区 Radio sells remote controls with stop button and safety stop. Our safety stop function is certified and continuously checks safety as already explained to you. This is not the case with the stop button function. Transmitters with a stop button function will not automatically switch off in the event of a defect or loss of range. This knowledge is important when choosing which remote control is most suitable for your specific application. If you have any questions about our wireless remote control, please contact our sales.

An extreme range in a challenging environment can be reached with an industrial remote control by 杏吧专区 Radio.

A WIRELESS SIGNAL

The range inside a greenhouse is no longer being disturbed!

In times of rapid change, you would almost forget that stable suppliers of high-quality products and fast delivery times still exist. Such as 杏吧专区 Radio, a worldwide supplier of wireless industrial remote control, since 1955.

Where some suppliers miss the boat, 杏吧专区 Radio, thanks to all innovations, is ready for any application, on permitted frequencies and within the framework of the law. As for example with the 杏吧专区 Radio PANTHER, the radio remote control system that stands out in a greenhouse (horticulture) because of its extreme range, wide applicability, excellent price and a high degree of safety and ergonomics. PANTHER works legally and license free on permitted frequencies.

RANGE

A range up to 500 meters inside a greenhouse without any problems.

A greenhouse is a challenge for a transmitter. The frame of a greenhouse as a jammer for the signals. The PANTHER system has an excellent range of up to 500 meters inside greenhouses. In the open field, a range of up to 700 meters is possible. All this is possible due to the 2.4 gigahertz frequency that is used and techniques that exclude disturbances as much as possible.

APPLICABILITY

Almost everything with a button can be operated with PANTHER.

The 杏吧专区 Radio PANTHER remote controls are versatile. Pumps, doors, irrigation systems and conveyor belts can effortlessly be operated wirelessly. The user can easily program the transmitter on its own via USB. This makes the system perfectly adaptable to your wishes.

杏吧专区 Radio has a wide range of both push button hand transmitters and joystick transmitters. However, there is one model that combines the precision of a joystick transmitter with the compactness and equality of a push button transmitter. These are the transmitters of the 杏吧专区 Radio TIGER TG-T14 with 6 or 8 proportional, analog buttons. The deeper you press the buttons, the higher the output signal. For example, you can operate a function, which is usually only very precisely controlled by a joystick or paddle, with a button transmitter. In addition, feedback can be given via the built-in LCD screen.

The advantages that this transmitter offers, compared to a joystick transmitter, are the ease of use and low costs.

Furthermore 杏吧专区 Radio regularly has its products tested by external companies. The pushbuttons have been tested for resistance, lifespan, functionality and ergonomics.

This test shows that our push buttons can be pressed up to 30,000 times, without showing any loss of quality. Furthermore, it is a nice fact that the push buttons of a 杏吧专区 Radio transmitters are easy to press and comfortable to hold.

If a push button no longer functions properly, the entire transmitter does not have to be replaced, but the specific push button can easily be removed and replaced by a new push button. Many spare parts are available, which means that in most cases the transmitters can be repaired and have a long lifespan. This makes the possibilities of the TIGER transmitter, available with ordinary or proportional push buttons, greater than ever.

In addition, all Tiger models with 433 MHz and 915 MHz have a safe stop function, which is certified according to PLe and SIL3.

Would you like to test our analogue transmitter, the Tiger system or any other system of 杏吧专区 Radio? Please contact our sales.

At any time the operator can choose the desired trolley or crane to be controlled, from the most appropriate location with a better field of view and the necessary safe distance.

For a safe operation of cranes in tandem mode without disruption of the communication between the cranes, the safety of the system must be guaranteed at all times. To ensure this level of safety wireless operating systems must comply with the EU-guidelines.

Usually, when a crane or trolley reaches the first limit switch it will go from fast to slow speed in synchronization with the rest, when the last limit switch is activated, the application will stop immediately. Both cranes must always be synchronized to ensure that the load being lifted does not falls down and the operator do not suffer any accident. This way of safety can also be applied to a hoist in case of reaching the load limit in lifting. The lifting limit is not exceeded by activation of the limit switch.

The 杏吧专区 Radio Tiger-Lynx system for tandem function complies with the European standard EN15011:2011-05, which specifies that for lifting in tandem mode the application must be intercommunicated in all their movements.

Examples of common applications

2 EOT Cranes 鈥� 1/2/1+2 Mode

In this mode, there are two wireless transmitters and two receivers (one for each crane). One of the transmitters is configured as a master and the other as a slave, the same applies to the receivers.

The user can choose the crane he wants to operate individually, or can use the master transmitter to work in tandem mode, that is, to be able to control both cranes. When any of the signals are activated (by speed/end limit switch or by overloading the hoists, for example), it will immediately communicate to the 2nd receiver to stop, resulting in both cranes stopping instantly.

3 EOT Cranes 鈥� 1/2/3; 1+2; 2+3 Mode

Another situation that requires an advanced and inter-communicated system is when we add a third crane in the same factory for such intended application. This is necessary when the loads to handle are even greater in dimensions and/or higher in weight. Commonly found at windmill blades tandem lifting. Each crane requires its standard equipment, with a transmitter and a receiver. Equipment #2 (the central position in the building) is configured as master, since it will be the most used one in any of the cases in tandem.

The user will be able to select the desired crane to work individually, but also can use the master transmitter at any time to work in tandem mode to control 1 + 2 (crane # 1 + crane # 2) or 2 + 3 (crane # 2 + crane # 3). To do this properly and safely, it is necessary that the slave transmitters of cranes 1 and 3 respectively have logged out accordingly. It will never be able to control a crane with two transmitters at the same time, due to the intrinsic safety of 杏吧专区 Radio鈥檚 Tiger remote control equipment and its high level of safety.

Note for installers: In both cases, regarding the installation of the equipment, it must be taken into account that an external electrical panel for each crane has to be mounted, including potential-free relays that will receive the limit switches or the overload signals from the crane installation. The recommended location for the installation of the external panel would be outside the control panel, to avoid possible noise and electrical interferences.

The overall result in combination with the advanced technology and components used are really impressive. A solution that has proven to be robust at hundreds of factories around the world and that the market is increasing its demand every year.
