  • Page 5: Operating The H212 Handheld

    1. Operating the H212 Handheld The Handheld has 12 push-button controls and two graphical display screens for indicating button functions and displaying information, messages, alarms and warnings. Each Trident Remote-Control System has at least one Handheld. This section describes how the Handheld buttons and screens work. 1.1.
  • Page 6: Configure Mode

    Pressing and holding the Green button will shift the Handheld to its secondary functions, as shown in Figure 2. If you prefer for the Handheld to stay in its shifted state without having to hold down the Green button, the shift behaviour may be made latching through the Configure Mode described in 1.2.
  • Page 7 "Configure Mode" will be displayed on the upper screen for a few seconds, after which the "Machine" type parameter will be displayed. At this point, the left and right rectangular buttons may be used to select one of many parameters to be displayed and/or modified.
  • Page 8: Indicator Lamps

    2. Indicator Lamps The Handheld has two indicator lamps—a red lamp to the left of the green button and a green lamp to the right of the green button. These lamps provide status information as described below: Table 1 Handheld Green Lamp Indications Green Lamp Information Conveyed The unit is turned off.
  • Page 9 Red Lamp Information Conveyed Pulsing (brighter and A charger is connected, but is unable to charge the battery. dimmer) Please refer to 3. Low Battery Indication, Charging for more information.
  • Page 10: Low Battery Indication, Charging

    3. Low Battery Indication, Charging In the H212 Handheld, the red lamp to the left of the Green button will begin to blink when the unit's battery charge gets low; at this point the battery has enough charge for several more hours of operation, but should be recharged as soon as possible. A charger (even a portable “power bank”) may be connected to the unit while you continue to operate the machine.
  • Page 11 Table 3 Battery Charging Indications Symbol Condition Indicated and Course of Action The unit is too cold (below freezing) to safely charge the battery. Please bring the unit and charger indoors to warm up. Charging will ○ start when the temperature rises above 10 Celsius.
  • Page 12: Changing Handhelds

    4. Changing Handhelds The Trident system allows for one or more Handhelds (depending on software version) to be matched with the C220 Controller. Occasionally a Handheld becomes damaged or lost, and must be replaced. The replacement of a Handheld is as easy as matching the new Handheld with the C220 Controller.

  • Page 15: Introduction

    1. Introduction The Trident Remote Control System is a high performance, customizable remote control system designed for a variety of different machinery. It consists of a single C220 Controller (to be installed into the machine), and one or more remote Handheld units. Sophisticated firmware programs contained in the Handheld and C220 Controller contain custom logic and algorithms for operating different types of machines.
  • Page 16: Precaution For Welding

    2. Precaution for Welding Provided that the ground clamp is affixed to the machine close to the point of the weldment to be placed, electro-welding may be performed with the Trident Remote Control System installed. However, as a precaution against electrical damage, please disconnect the 30-way and antenna connectors from the C220 Controller and secure them at least 10 cm away from the C220 prior to any welding operation on the machine.
  • Page 17: Affixing The C220 Controller And Antenna

    3. Affixing the C220 Controller and Antenna Please refer to the Trident Quick Start Guide for instructions to mount the C220 and external antenna (unless the C220 was supplied with an internal antenna). While the C220 Controller has an IP67 rating and is completely waterproof, a covered location is preferred for ease in matching (see below), servicing, and viewing of the controller's status lamp.
  • Page 18: Wiring The C220 Controller

    4. Wiring the C220 Controller The Trident Remote Control System is supplied with a wiring harness that is appropriate for the system option. The harness has a 30-way rectangular connector which mates with the C220 Controller, and, depending on the system option, a blunt-cut cable or connectors which mate to existing connectors in the truck.
  • Page 19: Matching The Handheld With The C220 Controller

    5. Matching the Handheld with the C220 Controller The Trident Remote Control System requires at least one H212 Handheld to be matched with the C220 Controller. The Trident Quick Start Guide contains instructions for matching the H212 Handheld with the C220 Controller. New systems are delivered with the Handheld already matched with the controller.
  • Page 20: Configuring The System

    6. Configuring the System The H212 Handheld's Configure Mode may be used to adapt the Trident Remote Control System to a specific machine variant. To enter Configure Mode, proceed as follows: 1. If the system does not yet have a Handheld, match a Handheld with the C220 Controller as described in the Quick Start Guide.

    (the second time to confirm) cause all of the parameters to be changed to their initial values. Then, the green button may be pressed to commit to the reset operation. This function is protected and may be access only after entering the correct access code (provided by Aarcomm Systems Inc. in a separate communication).
  • Page 22: Splash Duration

    Customer Customer logo (Initial Value) Aarcomm The Aarcomm logo is displayed. This parameter is local to the Handheld on which it is configured. No access code is required to change this parameter. 6.7. Brightness Handhelds equipped with lighted displays will show this parameter.
  • Page 23: Light

    This parameter can be adjusted from 0 to 9 seconds to select 10 levels of brightness; it has an initial value of 4. Higher brightness levels consume more battery power and yield less run-time per charge. This parameter is local to the Handheld on which it is configured. No access code is required to change this parameter.
  • Page 24: Servicing The System

    7. Servicing the System The Trident Remote Control Systems is capable of detecting many issues with both the machine and itself. To help with servicing and repairs, the Trident provides detailed information via the C220 Controller's status lamp and a special Diag Mode in the handheld.
  • Page 25 Lamp State Interpretation Quickly Blinking Blue A recently activated output was overloaded for long enough to trigger the over-temperature protection of the associated output driver. The controller will continue to operate, and the affected output will resume operation when the driver cools down sufficiently. Slowly Blinking Turqoise The controller has detected that its supply voltage is below 8.0 volts.
  • Page 26: Diag Mode

    Lamp State Interpretation Quickly Blinking Orange 1. The controller is unable to communicate with its base (ELR) board; or 2. The controller has detected an error with the PWM driver chips. This condition may occur while updating the firmware of the base (ELR) board using the USB programming cable, in which case there is no reason for concern.
  • Page 27 2. Ensure that the machine controller (e.g. C220) is powered, and start the H212 in Config Mode as instructed above. Note that the initial display upon entering Config Mode will include the message "< & > for Diagnostics". 3. Once in Config Mode, simultaneously press the left rectangular (<) and right rectangular (>) buttons together, then release them.
  • Page 28: Can-Bus Messages

    If the C220 Controller detects it has lost the address- claim process, it will not send any further messages on the CAN bus. In case of an address conflict, please contact Aarcomm for instructions on how to configure the C220 Controller for a different Preferred Address.
  • Page 29: Loadmaxx Messages

    180 (B4 hexadecimal). If the scale is using another address, contact Aarcomm for instructions for configuring the C220 Controller to find the scale on a different address. (Note: Newer C220 firmware may be able to search-for and find the address of the scale, in which case configuration is unnecessary.)
