Setup and Installation

This remote control switch is designed for easy installation. It is compatible with most 12V DC single-acting hydraulic pump power units, including brands like Monarch, Bucher Dyna-Jack, MTE, Bosch, SPX, and KTI. Ensure your hydraulic pump unit is equipped with a solenoid coil for proper operation with this 3-wire controller.

Wiring Instructions

The controller features a 3-wire connection system:

• Brown Wire: Power
• Yellow Wire: Down
• Blue Wire: Start (Up)

Connect these wires to the corresponding terminals on your hydraulic pump power unit. The 15-foot cord provides ample length for flexible positioning during operation.

Maintenance

The Zinger Dump Trailer Remote Control Switch is constructed from high-impact plastic, designed for durability. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

• Keep the controller clean and free from excessive dirt, debris, and moisture.
• Inspect the cable periodically for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage.
• Ensure all electrical connections remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Store the controller in a dry environment when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Zinger Dump Trailer Remote Control Switch, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

No Response from Controller

• Check Power Supply: Ensure the 12V DC power source is active and providing sufficient voltage to the hydraulic pump unit.
• Verify Connections: Double-check all three wire connections (Brown, Yellow, Blue) to ensure they are correctly and securely attached to the hydraulic pump's terminals. Loose or incorrect wiring is a common cause of malfunction.
• Inspect Cable: Examine the entire length of the 15-foot cable for any visible damage, kinks, or breaks that could interrupt the electrical signal.

Incorrect Operation (e.g., only one direction works)

• Review Wiring Diagram: Re-verify your wiring against the provided diagrams, paying close attention to the Yellow (Down) and Blue (Start/Up) wire connections. An incorrect connection can lead to one-way operation.
• Solenoid Coil Check: Ensure the solenoid coil is properly connected and functioning. This controller is designed for systems with a solenoid coil.

Advanced Wiring Considerations (If initial setup fails)

In some rare cases, particularly with certain 3-wire systems, internal components of the controller might need adjustment for optimal compatibility. If standard wiring does not yield expected results, it may be necessary to:

• Carefully open the controller casing (if you possess the necessary technical expertise and tools).
• Identify and re-evaluate the internal wiring connections, ensuring they align with a standard 3-wire configuration for your specific hydraulic pump.
• Some users have reported needing to bypass or reconfigure an internal relay or component if it interferes with a direct 3-wire setup. This step should only be attempted by individuals with electrical knowledge, as incorrect modifications can damage the unit or connected equipment.

Disclaimer: Modifying the internal components of the controller may void your warranty and should only be performed by qualified personnel. Always disconnect power before attempting any internal inspection or modification.
