Eaton T110c Transmitter and R260 Receiver Installation / Configuration Manual

System Overview

The Eaton (formerly Omnex) Trusted Wireless™ T110c / R260 is a portable, long-range, programmable radio remote control system. It is designed as a compact and user-friendly product, placing machine control directly with the operator. The system is robust, easy to install, and features complete self-diagnostics. It can function as a simple cable replacement or integrate intelligence for a comprehensive control package, acting as a radio, PLC, and valve driver in one.

The system utilizes Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology. FHSS devices concentrate their power into a narrow signal that hops frequencies within a designated band. This, combined with error-checking techniques, ensures robust signals that overcome common interference affecting licensed radios.

The R260 receiver operates on 12VDC or 24VDC systems and features 19 solid-state, high-side driver input/output controls, plus a reliable E-Stop control.

The T110c transmitter offers 4 to 10 buttons for user-selected functions. It uses standard AA alkaline batteries and is CCready™. With the CCDOCK™, it can use and recharge NiMH or NiCd rechargeable AA batteries. Each T110c transmitter has a unique ID code to prevent conflicts on job sites.

• Connector A (Grey): Pins 1-20, including IO 1-6, Ground, E-Stop Out/IO 20, Power/E-Stop In, and Factory Configurable Only pins.
• Connector B (Black): Pins 1-19, including IO 7-19, CAN 2H/L, CAN 1H/L, CAN 1H/485A, CAN 1L/485B, E-STOP, and Ground.

R260 Dimensions

The R260 receiver measures approximately 4.00 inches (width) by 5.13 inches (height).

Installation Considerations

Antenna Note: FCC and ISC regulations require using only the manufacturer-supplied and approved antenna. Contact Eaton Wireless Business Unit for optional antennas. Antennas must not be co-located or operated with other antennas or transmitters.

Mounting and Installation

Mount the receiver using two ¼-inch bolts through the mounting holes. Ensure the text reads right and connectors point down. Select a mounting location that minimizes wiring, is visible to the operator, is protected from weather and vibration, and offers good line-of-sight to the transmitter for maximum range.

Drip Loop: It is recommended to form a "Drip Loop" with output cables. This prevents water from condensation, rain, or wet environments from running along the wire into receiver connections or machine controls. Create a loop with approximately 1 foot (30 cm) of cable, forming a radius of 3-4 inches (8-10 cm), with the loop bottom lower than the receiver connectors. For external antennas, a 2-3 inch (5-8 cm) radius loop using 8 inches (20 cm) of cable is recommended.

Power Connections and Wiring

Connect power and ground directly to the battery, avoiding charging circuits or accessory points. For proportional voltage outputs, use a separate enable signal or the "Switches to Power with Link" line for safety. After a fault condition (e.g., output short), cycle power to the receiver before restarting the transmitter.

Use appropriate gauge and insulated wire for connections. Test each output with a multimeter before connecting to end devices to ensure correct programming.

Filtering and Noise Suppression

For solenoids or electromagnetic switches, install a diode across terminals to prevent surges. Eaton part number "AKIT-2492-01" is for appropriate 36V Bi-directional Diodes.

Power the Transmitter

1. Install Batteries

Remove the battery cover using a slotted screwdriver. Insert 4 "AA" alkaline batteries. If using the CCDOCK™, insert NiCd or NiMH rechargeable AA batteries. Battery orientation is marked inside the housing.

Note: Apply grease (Dow Corning 111 Valve Lubricant & Sealant) to battery contacts for corrosion protection, especially with rechargeable batteries.

Warning: Do not install batteries backward, charge, incinerate, or mix battery types. This can cause explosion or leakage. Replace all batteries simultaneously.

Note: For operation below -10°C (14°F), lithium batteries are recommended due to performance reduction of alkaline/lithium types at low temperatures. Consult battery manufacturer specifications.

If the transmitter's Active light does not flash, check battery orientation. To turn off, press the Power [OFF] button.

2. Turn on the Transmitter

Press the Power [ON] button. Refer to the Light Legend for indicator status.

Test the Transmitter / Receiver Link

J1939 Data Frame Structure

The R260 transmits J1939 (CAN1) messages using PDU2 frames containing command values from an Eaton transmitter, with a default transmission period of 50 milliseconds.

Each J1939 network node requires a unique name. The R260's J1939 name is derived from its Identity Number, specifically the Device Type (1 for R260) and Device ID (unique per device). The Device ID is found on the R260 housing.

A J1939 node name is 8 bytes long and is defined in the R260 as shown in Table 1. The J1939 NAME is output upon power cycling.

Note: Other ECUs in a J1939 network using PGN 65280-65283 should match their SA entries to the R260's NAME table to identify frames originating from an Eaton R260.

Table 1: R260 J1939 NAME Fields

Note: The R260 will not transmit CAN messages until a transmitter is associated. Refer to "Associate a Transmitter" to pair a specific transmitter.

Troubleshooting Guide

Chart #1: Test the Receiver-R260

Follow this flowchart for receiver troubleshooting:

• Start Initial Condition: Turn off transmitter (all lights off via E-Stop button). Cycle receiver power (off then on).
• Error Condition: Review Lights
  • If Receiver Lights are: Status-GREEN, I/O-OFF/GREEN, E-Stop-RED: Receiver OK. (Note: Short to ground on an output is not indicated here; refer to "I/O-RED" troubleshooting).
  • If Status is Flashing GREEN: Low Battery. Check system wiring and battery function.
  • If Status is RED: Internal Fault. Call for service. Go to Chart 2.
  • If I/O is Alternating RED & GREEN: Short to Supply. Disconnect A & B connectors, check outputs for power (e.g., bare wires, improper connections), make adjustments, and call for service.
  • If I/O is RED: Short to Ground. Note: This occurs when the transmitter is on and a function button is pressed. Go to Chart 2 to test the transmitter. If transmitter is functional, check output connections: press function buttons; I/O turns GREEN for OK, RED for a short.
  • If E-Stop is Flashing RED: Radio Fault. Call for service.
  • If Unknown Fault: Call for service.

Chart #2: Test the Transmitter-T110C

Follow this flowchart for transmitter troubleshooting:

• Initial Steps: Turn off receiver. Ensure transmitter batteries are good/charged. Turn on transmitter.
• Transmitter Lights Check:
  • If Active light is steady for 3 seconds then fast flashes, and Battery light is OFF: Press one of the buttons.
  • If Active light goes to solid YELLOW: Transmitter may be in secure mode. To check: Turn off/on transmitter, press buttons in order 3, 1, 4, 2, ON (Green), then press any button. If active light goes solid YELLOW, reconfigure transmitter to exit secure mode (refer to Installation/Configuration manual).
  • If Active light does NOT go to solid YELLOW: Go to Chart 3.
• Error Condition: Review Lights
  • If Active or Battery light is never on: Complete steps: Check battery orientation, clean contacts, check/recharge/replace batteries, or send for service.
  • If Active and Battery lights flash at the same time: Stuck button. Toggle buttons a few times; if persists, send for service.
  • If Active and Battery lights flash alternately: Low Battery. Replace or charge batteries during the next break.
  • If Battery light flashes for 10 seconds then both lights are OFF: Transmitter failure. Send unit in for service.

Chart #3: Testing the Transmitter / Receiver Communication

Follow this flowchart for communication issues:

• Initial State: Transmitter: Active light flashing. Receiver: Status-GREEN, E-Stop-RED.
• Check Light Status:
  • If Transmitter: Active light flashing, Receiver: Status-GREEN, E-Stop-Flashing GREEN: No LINK between transmitter and receiver.
  • If Matched set (identical ID codes): Call for service.
  • If Not Matched set: Check if transmitter was swapped with another on the job site.
  • If Swapped or UNSURE: Search job site for correct transmitter.
  • If Found: Turn on transmitter to check function. If not functional, proceed to Chart 1.
  • If Not Found: The transmitter code may need to be re-downloaded to the receiver.
• General Note: If transmitter/receiver are working properly but the machine has issues, the problem may be with the machine, not the radio system. Call for service.

!! Caution !!

Note: Before downloading IDs, exercise great care. Accidentally switching transmitters can cause one transmitter to operate multiple receivers. Ensure the transmitter/receiver pair is correct. After download, stop all other job site units and test the new configuration to ensure no other machines respond. Confirm the pair is unique before resuming normal operations.

Chart #4: Considerations when Downloading the ID

Potential Downloading Issues:

• If receiver and transmitter tests show the system working, both enter Download/Configuration mode.
• Issue 1: Link light on receiver does not turn GREEN when transmitter power switch is toggled for download.
• Issue 2: Receiver "times out" (no signal from transmitter within 30 seconds of entering Setup Mode).
• If indications appear normal during download, test the link by turning on the transmitter (it shuts off after transmitting ID). If the receiver's Link light does not turn GREEN, it did not receive all information.

Possible Solutions:

• Try the downloading steps again.
• If the problem persists, send both the transmitter and receiver in for service.

Note: To determine if the fault is with the transmitter or receiver, try reprogramming with a different transmitter. If it works, the fault is with the original transmitter; otherwise, it's likely the receiver.

!! Caution !!

Note: Reprogramming with another transmitter might cause two receivers to respond to one transmitter. If the original transmitter was sent for repair, disconnect the receiver (connector A) to use the machine without remote capability and prevent inadvertent operation.

Reprogramming Tips:

1. Be patient and deliberate when pressing Power and E-Stop buttons in the correct order during power up in Configuration mode.
2. Use a pointy instrument (like a pen) to press the receiver's Setup button, as it is small.
3. Follow each step of the procedure carefully.
4. Never lay the receiver circuit board on metallic surfaces, as contact points could cause damage.
