3 Definitions

3.1 Radio Code

Each transmitter button emits its own specific radio code. Changing the transmission number on the transmitter also changes the emitted radio code. Radio codes are distinguished by their coding:

• 18-bit Linear Code: (fixed code) The same code is emitted each time the transmitter button is pressed.
• Rolling Code: Also known as KeeLoq code or changing code. Each time the transmitter button is pressed, a new encrypted code is emitted. Only the new encrypted codes from the transmitter are accepted for authentication by the programmed receiver.

3.2 Transmission Number

When a button is pressed in the "Multichannel Industrial Remote Control" function, a number briefly appears on the display. This number is referred to as the transmission number in this manual. In some cases, this number may serve as a portal/hall or system number.

3.3 Identification Number

The identification number can be selected between 0 and 999. If two or more transmitters have identical identification numbers, the receiver will not be able to distinguish between them. For example, if a receiver is programmed to recognize one transmitter, all other transmitters with the same identification number will be automatically recognized by the receiver. The identification number can also be used for group management. It can, for example, serve as a hall/system number, and the displayed transmission number can serve as a portal number.

6 Intended Use

This radio transmitter is intended for the remote control of wireless systems without specific safety requirements. This presupposes compatibility between the radio transmitter and the radio receiver. The following factors from the technical specifications must therefore be identical:

• Transmission and reception frequency (868.3 MHz)
• Modulation (AM / ASK)
• Coding (linear code or rolling code/KeeLoq code)

Radio remote controls are only approved for devices and installations where radio interference from the transmitter or receiver does not endanger people or material, or where this risk is covered by other safety devices. The user must be aware that the remote control of installations presenting an accident risk should only take place, if at all, with direct visual contact with the installation and if no person, animal, or object is within the range of movement. Remote controls must be stored in such a way that unintentional activation, e.g., by children or animals, is excluded.

Radio remote controls used operate on generally permitted frequencies (ISM bands). The operator of these radio remote controls does not enjoy any protection against interference from other radio installations or devices (e.g., radio installations operating on the same frequency band as baby monitors, intercoms, etc.).

Any other use beyond the intended use is considered non-compliant, and the manufacturer assumes no liability in such cases. The risk and responsibility lie with the assembler, installer, or operator.

7 Storage and Transport Conditions

• Storage temperature: -25 °C to +70 °C

Failure to comply may cause malfunctions, even after commissioning! Only transport with adequate, padded additional packaging. Protect the remote control from the following influences:

• Humidity
• Dust
• Direct sunlight exposure
• Impact and drops

Upon delivery, the transmitter is in "Linear Code 999" mode. This means that when a transmission/channel button (A, B, or C) is pressed, an 18-bit linear code 999 is emitted, and the screen displays the transmission number used for approximately 2 seconds. To conserve battery power, the screen turns off after two seconds of transmission. The "999" in the operating mode name signifies that a transmission number between 0 and 999 can be selected using the dial pad. Each new transmission number corresponds to a new 3-channel remote control. Therefore, a single industrial remote control (ISN) can replace 1000 3-channel remote controls.

If the "Linear Code 999" operating mode is not suitable, the industrial remote control can be set to another operating mode by pressing a combination of buttons (see Chapter 10 "Transmitter Configuration" on page 9). An overview of the functions of the different operating modes can be found in Chapter 9 "Overview and Functions of Operating Modes" on page 8.

8.1 LED Transmission Indicator Light

The green LED indicates that the transmitter is active.

8.2 7-Segment Display (Screen)

During operation, the screen displays important information and automatically turns off two seconds after the last button press. The screen turns off immediately when a transmitter button is released. Each mode has its own symbol, allowing you to know which mode the transmitter is currently operating in.

8.3 Buttons

The remote control has 15 buttons and different functions depending on the operating mode. You can find the different operating modes in Chapter 9 "Overview and Functions of Operating Modes" on page 8.

8.4 Examples

9 Overview and Functions of Operating Modes

The industrial remote control can be switched to one of the six different operating modes by the user at any time (see Chapter 10 "Transmitter Configuration" on page 9). The following table lists all operating modes and their functions.

10 Transmitter Configuration

The industrial remote control can be set to Configuration mode using a combination of three buttons. This mode starts at the 1st level out of a total of 5 levels. Each level has a function represented in a diagram in the following chapter. The diagram is followed by a detailed description. The Configuration mode can be exited at any time by pressing the DEL button or after 8 seconds. No settings will be saved, and the transmitter will retain its previous configuration.

  Confirm the entered identification number by pressing the M button on the transmitter within 8 seconds.

10.3 Identification Number (Duplicating the Transmitter)

It is possible to assign an identification number to all industrial remote controls. This number consists of three digits that the user can freely choose on the transmitter. Transmitters with the same identification number are identical for the controlled receiver. This means that transmitters can be organized into groups, which facilitates the structuring of large installations.

The use, configuration, or display of the identification number is only possible in the "Linear Code 999 + Identification Number" or "Linear Code 15 + Identification Number" operating modes.

10.4 Programming the Transmitter Button to the Receiver

The procedure depends on each receiver. Program the desired transmitter buttons onto the receiver as described in the user manual of the respective receiver.
