It has five configurable Light Emitting Diodes (LED) for machine and status feedback. The buttons and the LED’s can be configured for a variety of different operations.
Neither of them are described in this manual as it is intended for the installer and end user. Please contact Scanreco in case of programming is required. Another Pocket or Rocket transmitter can be configured to work as a repeater to extend the working range. Please contact Scanreco in case of repeater function is required.
10/33 Installing/changing battery The G5 Pocket Transmitter is equipped with 3 standard AAA cell batteries; to change batteries follow the instructions below 1. Remove the belt clip by unscrewing the top middle screw. 2. Unscrew the three screws holding the lid. 3.
11/33 G5 Rocket Flex Transmitter Product description The G5 Rocket Flex Transmitter is a light weight, impact and water resistant handheld unit equipped with up to fourteen ON/OFF function pushbuttons. The pushbuttons can have a two-step function. It has five configurable Light Emitting Diodes(LED) for machine and status feedback as well as a charge indication LED.
Neither of them are described in this manual as it is intended for the installer and end user. Please contact Scanreco in case of programming is required. Another Pocket or Rocket transmitter can be configured to work as a repeater to extend the working range. Please contact Scanreco in case of repeater function is required.
13/33 Installing/changing battery The G5 Rocket Flex Transmitter requires 3 re-chargeable AA cell batteries. Batteries are included in the delivery but needs to be installed, follow the instructions below: 1. Remove the belt clip by unscrewing the top middle screws. 2.

15/33 Battery charger The battery charger also works as a holder for the Rocket Flex. The charger can be assembled on the machine with a 1/4” UNC screw, same as RAM-Mount Size B holders. While the Rocket Flex is charging the blue LED is flashing. When charging is finished, the blue LED is lit. The charger is delivered with a 1.8 meter cable with open wires.
16/33 G5 Receiver Product description The G5 Receiver is manufactured in plastic and is provided with contacts for connection of power supply and electro-hydraulic valves. Depending on the version the G5 Receiver can either be equipped with MOSFET outputs/inputs and Deutsch connectors, relay outputs with spring terminal block or CAN-Bus output.
17/33 Versions The G5 Receiver exists in different versions. The main difference between the version types is the output type which can be either MOSFET output, Relay output or CAN-Bus output. Versions with MOSFET output have two 12-pin Deutsch connectors while versions with relay output have cable glands with spring terminal block.

22/33 Radio information The G5 system family incorporates an automated frequency jumping technology, a reliable radio transmission highly resistant to interference. The radio transmission takes place within the ISM-band used at pre-defined channels. The channel switches takes place multiple times per second following a pseudorandom sequence order which ensures the operator that transmission takes place at an optimal frequency at all times! No transmitter uses the same pseudorandom sequence order when switching...
23/33 Installation recommendation General information This chapter covers general recommendations for assembling of the G5 system. ATTENTION: Assembly of the system in other ways than recommended in this chapter may affect the systems performance and life-span and may void any warranties given. Assembly of the Receiver The Receiver should be installed using the mounting holes at the edges on the unit.
Page 24
24/33 The Receiver should be assembled in such way that the operator can easily check the indications given from the units LED-display. The Receiver shall not be mounted in a place where the temperature can increase over max specified temperature. The antenna must never touch a metal object and should not be mounted in an area that is surrounded by metal as it causes reflections that significantly reduce range.
26/33 Startup and LED indication After installation of the Receiver and the batteries have been inserted into the Transmitter, the system should be fully operational with the default settings. The default setting use button number 7 to turn on the system. Buttons 1-6 are mapped to output 1-6.
There are two ways to do this; connecting the system to a computer using RS232 communication and WinSCI software or On-Site programming which is a simple method with less options. Please contact Scanreco and ask for G5 On-Site or WinSCI software configuration instructions.
