Operating Characteristics

WARNING
Personal injury or equipment damage hazards. The roller's sensing system will not
stop the roller from moving when the transmitter is in the storage compartment or
on the side of the roller.
► When operating from the side of the machine, always maintain a distance of at
least 2m (6.6 ft.) from the machine.
► Never operate the machine with the transmitter in the storage compartment.
■ In some instances, objects passing between the machine and transmitter (such
as support beams) will block the signal. When this occurs, the machine will stop
moving. If the signal is not re-established within 30 seconds, the engine will shut
down.
■ In an enclosed area (such as a shop floor or warehouse) or an area surrounded
by large structures, the infra-red signal may reflect off surrounding surfaces,
causing it to be picked up by the machine even when the transmitter is pointed
away from the machine. This condition is more pronounced at shorter distances
when the signal strength is strong.
■ As the distance between the transmitter and machine increases, the intensity of
the signal diminishes.

Communication Faults

Description The decoder has built-in diagnostics that continuously check for a faulty signal
transmitted from the receiving eyes to the decoder. If a faulty signal is detected, the
decoder stops machine movement and the light rings illuminate solid amber.
Fault Communication faults may occur when a receiving eye is damaged. The faults vary
correction
in frequency and duration. When a normal signal is restored, the light rings slowly
flash amber and machine movement is restored.
If communication faults occur regularly, check the condition of the receiving eyes.
Replace damaged components as needed.
