When used with the battery charger or Contactless Charge Cradle, the TD3100 can use and recharge self contained rechargeable pack. Each TD3100 RCU uses a unique ID code to ensure that no two systems will conflict at a job site.
Whenever a solenoid or electromagnetic switch is controlled by the Base Station, it is a good practice to install a diode across its terminals to ensure that surges and spikes do not continue back into the circuit. Appropriate 36V Bi-directional Diodes kits can be ordered under the Eaton part number “AKIT-2492-01”. www.eaton.com/wireless...

The deadband, as configured for the system in general using the LCD screen of the Control Console, may appear excessive for the TD3100 RCU in particular. TD3100 has a built-in deadband which is sufficient for any operation. It is therefore recommended to set the Deadband Offset on the Ad- justment page to a negative number matching the Control Console setting.

Service Mode Service Mode is available on all TD3100 configurations and allows the operator to adjust the RCU’s characteris- tics. For example, the LCD backlight can be adjusted to operate under various lighting conditions. Once the RCU is put in to service mode a unique display screen is used to view or modify each option. Navigation and option selection/modification is controlled by four buttons as described by the Enter Service Mode and Naviga- tion.
1. Prepare the TD3100. 2. Prepare the R260 Base Station. 3. Start Pairing. The following sections describes the three step process to pair the TD3100 with an R260 Base Station. Refer to Trou- bleshooting Chart #4 for Tips and Considerations. NOTE: It is necessary to associate the RCU to Base Station when replacing either the RCU or Base Sta- tion.
