Remote Control - GE SpotChecker Operating Manual

Remote control

2.8 Remote control
The wireless remote control is not included with the
standard package of the SpotChecker. It is available
as an accessory. The remote control consists of a
transmitter with eight keys and the receiver integrated
in the SpotChecker.
The inspector can easily operate the inspection-rele-
vant functions via a wireless radio control if required.
The user has eight keys at his disposal to which he
can assign the functions most frequently required, e.g.
gain setting, A-scan freeze on/off, saving.
Thanks to the radio link, the remote control is non-
directional; it has a radius of approx. 10 meters.
The remote control is automatically recognized. Sev-
eral remote control systems can also be simultane-
ously operated without any mutual interferences. This
independence of several remote control systems is
automatically ensured by a special code.

Notes:
H
Remote control operation can be infl uenced by exter-
nal interference (e.g. welding robot in the production
line). Therefore, especially before storing, check to
see whether the transmitted commands (e.g. evalua-
tion) have been correctly recognized by the program.
The assignment of the transmitter (coding) to the re-
quired receiver is made after the system start-up by
pressing the keys 1 and 8 of the transmitter unit simul-
taneously.
It must be ensured at this moment that no other in-
struments are waiting for a receiver assignment in the
neighborhood, otherwise several instruments are con-
trolled by one transmitter.
