User Manual Operations ® Cattron CommandPro Wireless Control Systems are designed to control industrial machinery. These rugged controls are built to survive the wear and tear of life in factories, mills and foundries. These systems comply with operation requirements under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This means that neither the operator nor the company need apply or register for a license to operate this equipment.
(described in the next section). 5.1.5 Safety Safety and loss of control prevention are very important issues at Cattron. We use a unique identification (ID) code for each user. There are provisions in our system for 65,535 individual codes. Each transmission includes a CRC check sum, which is a polynomial created by factoring all of the previous bits transmitted.

Cattron receivers are normally prewired for the most widely used control systems. Specific installations may require rewiring the relay ‘commons’. When connecting the Cattron receiver assembly to a power source that has large amounts of interference (noise) generated by motors and/or contactors, use noise suppression devices (snubbers) to prevent noise from triggering the receiver’s safety shutdown programming.
