Install the Antenna
Install the antenna using the provided 90
o
antenna-mounting bracket. The
antenna is designed to fit this bracket and it should be used for optimum range.
An ideal location for mounting the antenna is by the rear deck of the rear toolbox
which contains the Hydraulic Controller. Mount the bracket to a flat bare metal
surface that is well grounded.
Route the coax antenna cable from the mounting bracket to the Power
Pal™ PDC. Insert the cable through the mounting bracket and attach the
antenna mount to the bracket. Attach and tighten the antenna to the threaded
cable mount on the bracket. A loose antenna may cause intermittent operation
and limit the distance of operation.
Route the other end of the antenna cable through the black strain relief on
the Power Pal™ enclosure. Attach the cable connector to the antenna connector
on the receiver board. Be careful not to over tighten the cable.
Program the Receiver Board
Apply power to the Power Pal™ PDC. Be sure the ‘wired/wireless’ button
is in the ‘wireless’ mode.
In the wireless mode, the green indicator light in the top right of the wired keypad
will be off and the wired remote will not function.
The transmitter keypad will not display a green power light like the wired keypad.
The wireless keypad will display a RED flashing light when the positions are
activated on the keypad.
Located on the receiver board is the programming button. Press the
programming button and hold down. The RED LED indicator on the receiver
board will turn on solid. While holding the button, press the top left-most position
on the wireless transmitter keypad.
When the programming is accepted, the indicator light will begin to flash.
Release the receiver button, and then release the position on the transmitter. If
the red indicator goes out when attempting to program, release both buttons and
repeat the procedure. Be sure the transmitter has a good, visual ‘line of sight’ to
the antenna.
Test the Wireless Keypad
There are over 10 billion transmit codes available, so there will never be
two transmitters that will operate the same truck. Your transmitter code is
unique.
Be sure that the wired/wireless switch is in the ‘wireless’ position.
•
Test the operation of all the functions of the wireless keypad.
•
Test the operating range of the wireless keypad.
If the wireless keypad does not function properly, consult the wireless
troubleshooting section that came with the wireless kit.
