2. The eBOOM™ tray which inserts into the tripod, holds the battery and provides a base for the eBOOM™ body 3. The eBOOM™ body which holds the boom arm and raises it to vertical position, or lowers it to horizontal position, according to remote controlled commands.
The eBOOM™ shall be installed in a suitable location clear of obstructions. An appropriate risk assessment shall be conducted to ensure the safe and suitable use of the eBOOM™. Examples of factors to consider when assessing suitable location are safe distance from the traffic path, so that wide loads or turning vehicles will not impact the unit, length of worksite, volume of traffic and topography.

IMPORTANT: ensure eBOOM™ is stable and is weighted down with sandbags prior to operation. Minimal One sand bag per tripod leg is required. Ensure the arm is in vertical position (or removed from eBOOM™...
Alarm Beeper stops beeping. In the horizontal position the LED flashers remain flashing. The eBOOM™ unit is also fitted with a “Cut-Off Switch”. This is the Power Switch, located at the back of the eBOOM™ unit. This switch will turn Off the eBOOM™ unit instantaneously as required. The unit must also be Powered Off when not in use.
❽❾ represents the states and faults of the respected paired unit. o Blue – HRC is paired to an eBOOM™ unit but communication fail (no connection, may need to re- pair). o Purple – The paired eBOOM™ unit is tilted from its starting position after Activation. Or the Boom arm is struck between vertical and horizontal position.
3. Test - When first powered on, the HRC will starts in Test Mode and the Status Indicator ❿will show blue. During Test Mode the HRC can be used to pair to a specific eBOOM™ unit (Refer to Pairing section). If the HRC is paired to an eBOOM™...
Pairing the Handheld Remote Controller (HRC) to eBOOM™ units The HRC can be paired to any eBOOM™ units. Once an eBOOM™ unit is paired to an HRC it is stored in memory, they will be automatically synced when powered up and ready for operation. By default, an HRC is paired to 1 eBOOM™...
Unit2 can be paired. Note: This is pairing a second eBOOM™ to right side of the same HRC, this pairing setup allows 2 eBOOM™ to be controlled such that only 1 eBOOM™ can be in vertical position at a time, if pairing as single unit operations, only paired to Unit1 on each HRC with each eBOOM™.
A. Charging the Batteries 1. The HRC Battery The HRC can be charged from any USB device including the one attached to the eBOOM™ body (the screw cap and USB connection are located at the back of the eBOOM™). When the HRC is switched off and the USB is attached to a charging device, a red status LED indicates that the battery is being charged.

The LED indicators will indicate battery status according to its respective paired units. b. Directly on the Unit The eBOOM™ battery status can be determined on the unit directly by pressing the button on the battery pack as shown. If the reading on the display shows a value less than 11.5V, it means that the battery is running...
Firstly turn off the unit and remove the 10 screws off the front the eboom. Secure the front panel with tape so that it doesn’t fall down. With the front panel removed be make sure that the back of the eBOOM is hooked onto the battery tray from the front and latched on the battery tray on the back so that it doesn’t...
The HRC should then operate as usual. eBOOM™ – Assuming battery is not low, in the event of unknown error or faults, soft reset the eBOOM™ by powering it off and on again. The power switch is located on the back of the eBOOM™ unit.
• eBOOM™ Tilted (Fault LED on HRC is Purple) a. Check the eBOOM™ unit is not on tilt over 20 degrees from vertical. Place eBOOM™ unit in its operating vertical position then perform a soft reset to recalibrate its orientation.
