The E-Stop is self-monitoring. The system performs a
self-test to ensure the E-Stop circuit is working
properly. If an error is detected, the system
automatically goes into Safe mode.
When the transmitter is turned on, it performs a
self-test to ensure that the circuitry is within designated
parameters. If an error is detected, the transmitter will
not transmit any signals.
Receiver Safe Mode
The following conditions cause the receiver to go into
its Safe mode:
•
Radio signal interference
•
Transmitter out of operating range
•
E-Stop circuit failure
•
Low battery sends E-stop after time out
When the transmitter is turned off (batteries removed),
there is no radio communication between the
transmitter and receiver.
Optional Cable Control
If at startup the unit detects that the cable control is
present, the unit will go to cable control mode. In this
mode, a cable is connected between the battery
compartment and the antenna port of the receiver. The
receiver supplies power to the transmitter and receives
data from the transmitter.
