Your radio remote control is designed for remote operation of machines and systems using safe wireless communications technology. Any modification, reconstruction or extension of the systems without a written agreement of Hetronic may lead to the loss of your warranty and guarantee claims.
Do not keep your ERGO-S stored in a closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off and the battery is removed from the unit. Charging the ERGO-S in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Lithium-Ion batteries give off heat when charging and when discharging.
Functional Description We congratulate you on the purchase of your new Hetronic ERGO-S push button transmitter. You have chosen a high quality product. Familiarise yourself with the unit before using it for the first time. In addition please carefully refer to the operating instructions and the safety advise given in this manual.
ERGO-S Transmitter 3.1 General Description The ERGO-S is an ergonomically designed, programmable wireless industrial transmitter for remote machine control. Your transmitter is encased in a rugged IP65 rated housing, is battery-powered, and comes equipped with built-in low battery detection.
Figure 2. ERGO-S Transmitter (Right, Front, Left) An optional 2.4” 240x320 TFT screen provides real-time visual information during operation of the ERGO-S transmitter. It is used to change configuration settings, provide two-way feedback and display transmitter diagnostic information such as battery life, signal strength and button status.
1. Confirm that all safety measures required by the equipment manufacturer have been followed. 2. Insert a fully charged battery into the battery compartment of the transmitter. 3. Insert the USB key supplied with the transmitter in the ERGO-S port (#16) and press Power (#12) button to power ON the transmitter unit.
USER’S MANUAL | ERGO-S Figure 4. Stop Screen 2. Press the Start button (#12) and the Shut Down Delay timer starts. The transmitter shuts off once the delay timer is over. This is normally set to 2 seconds by default but can be programmed differently (refer to Programming and Service Manual). The OFF state of the LED indicates that the transmitter has switched off.
4.9 Magnetic Belt Clip (if equipped) The practical magnetic belt clip allows the user to hang the ERGO-S transmitter to any steel surface and continue operation hands free or store the transmitter hung vertically when not in use and have easy access to it.
1. Make sure STOP switch (#15) on transmitter is activated. 2. Switch on ERGO-S by pressing the Start button (#12) and then keeping the side switches (#9 and #12) pressed until the splash screen disappears and the ‘Device Settings’ screen appears.
Transmitter Baud Rate The allowable baud rates of the control telegram that may be configured are 4800 or 9600bits/second for the Hetronic standard 4xx-8xx MHz radio modules. The standard baud rate of 115200bits/second is used for Hetronic standard 2.4GHz radio modules. To change the TX Baud Rate when the transmitter is in Service Mode one has to: 1.
