  • Page 9: System Description

    User Manual System Description A Cattron Portable Remote Control (PRC) system offers the safety and dependability required for industrial control applications such as overhead cranes, conveyors, machines, etc. A remote control system enables an operator to be in the safest and most efficient position for each and every operation, thereby reducing accidents with associated injury or material damage and simultaneously boosting efficiency and productivity.

  • Page 10: General

    MKU OCU User Manual General With an OCU and a matching MCU, a machine such as a crane or vehicle can be remotely radio controlled, avoiding the need for a wired connection between the human interface and the controlled device. A number of different control elements are integrated into the OCU housing so that commands to the device are securely encoded into a radio transmission.

It has been designed with the latest generation dual-channel electronics and exceeds the Safety Related Systems requirements for ISO13849 Category 3 PLd.
  • Page 15 MKU OCU User Manual In Europe and other regions, the operating frequency will typically be in the 433-434 MHz license exempt band; again, other licensed and unlicensed frequency bands are available. Battery packs are easily and quickly replaced without the need for tools by turning two knurled thumbscrews and removing the battery cover-plate located within the confines of the bottom end-cap.

  • Page 16: Preparing The Ocu For Operation

    An operator should be aware that securely retaining the TransKey within the OCU top end-cap will not prevent unauthorized operation of the controller or its target machinery. Therefore, when not in authorized use, Cattron recommends that an OCU having a permanently retained TransKey be held in a suitable cabinet under lock and key.
  • Page 17 MKU OCU User Manual Indicators Referring to Figure 5, the OCU is a lightweight hand-held unit with twelve pushbuttons (function keys) on a single keypad, plus a rotary ON/OFF switch and a push/pull STOP switch. The OCU may be hand carried, held by a belt loop strap or worn with an optional shoulder-carrying strap. The OCU is powered by a disposable (alkaline) or rechargeable (Ni-Cad) battery pack.

    MKU OCU User Manual Operating the OCU Note that dual pressure (DP) function key pushbuttons are pre-assigned through TransKey programming for two- step operation. In other words, a second output is tied to the second level of button depression. Typically, dual pressure OCUs send one of two output commands to the MCU from a single button. DP buttons are paired to opposite directions of the same output (i.e., forward and reverse).
