INTRODUCTION The M550 family is the result of IMET’s many years’ experience in the production of radio remote controls. IMET radio remote controls are advanced instruments designed and built using state-of-the- art technology. IMET M550 radio remote controls are available in a large number of versions for any application. They are easy to install and they become an integral part of any machine that can be operated by remote control.

In this case, use a connector that can be disconnected at any time. If you are using a CB6000-DC battery charger (see Chap. 9.11), protect the connection with a fuse Warning: Explosion hazard if non-compatible batteries are used! Use IMET batteries only. See Chap. 11 for information on the disposal of exhausted batteries.
The combinations are personalised depending on the clients needs and are programmed by IMET during the radio remote control manufacture. Each transmitter can handle up to 16 different receiver combinations with which it can operate at the same time.
Turning only the transmitting unit off and on will not erase the corrections carried out with the DSC. During the programming or test phase, for minimum and maximum limits of analogue outputs, the DSC function is not active.
