Radio Remote
Whenever a radio remote is being used for the first time, the remote frequency code
must be “learned” by the Electronic Control Box. Select “RF LEARN” in the Remote
Type Menu and connect the receiver to the serial port on the Electronic Control Box
and select Auto mode (Button 13). Press the Stop Button on the radio remote (See
Figure 8.f). A code will appear on the screen of the Electronic Control Box to show that
the radio frequency code has been stored. ESC (Button 2) can then be pressed to
return to the working screen and the remote is ready to use.
This procedure only needs to be followed when the remote handpiece is used with an
Electronic Control box for the first time. The “RF” type will be automatically used once
the remote frequency code has been established. Up to 7 handpieces can be
programmed into the one Electronic Control Box, if desired. Each remote handpiece
has a different code which ensures that multiple wrappers can operate in the same
location, without interfering with each other.
.
With either remote type, pressing the “Table Forward Rotate” Button on the handpiece
during wrapping will switch On/Off a 12 volt output on one of the spare electrical
connectors on the wrapper wiring loom. This feature can be used to switch on an
external valve on a hydraulic power pack to select a lower oil flow setting (This is useful
when wrapping badly shaped bales).
There is a spare connector on the wrapper wiring loom marked with the letter “E”.
(On machines up to serial no. 58297 the white/blue wire is +12 volts and the yellow/
green is ground).
(On machines from serial no. 58298 the brown wire is +12 volts and the yellow/green
is ground).
The maximum current available on this 12 volt output is 3 amps.
CAUTION: Press the safety button on the radio remote
simultaneously with all function buttons, except for Stop
There is a safety button located on the back of the remote which needs
to be pressed simultaneously with each function button to activate it.
This safety button doesn’t need to be used for the Stop Button.
WARNING: Radio remotes have a very long range, do not
accidentally press any buttons when not near the machine
There is a very long range with radio remotes (approx. 200 metres in the
line of sight), so care must be taken not to accidentally press any buttons
even when not near the machine. The control box must be in AUTO
mode before any remote functions will work.
