Operation
6.10 Infrared System and Control Channels
40
• An integrated pre-amp to strengthen signal input
• IR correction, to filter outside light interference
• A frequency range of 500 kHz
There is an amber LED (4) on the base (bottom) of the front and rear receiv-
ing eyes. When illuminated, the amber LED indicates:
• Electric power is being supplied to the eye. The LED illuminates for the
first 1–2 seconds after power has been applied (key switch is turned on).
• The eye is receiving a signal from the SmartControl
module. The LED will remain on during operation.
The decoder module is positioned behind the hydraulic manifold at the back
of the machine. It receives, decodes, and outputs the signal from the trans-
mitter module. It is also the electric power supply for all hydraulic solenoids.
The IR system can be set to one of sixteen different control channels. Using
different channels allows multiple rollers to operate in the same area without
interference. Whenever multiple rollers are operated within 20 meters
(65 feet) of one another, make certain each roller and its accompanying
transmitter is set to a different control channel than the other rollers/transmit-
ters being used within the area.
Channel selection rotary switches (5) and (6) are included on both the trans-
mitter module and on the decoder module. The switches come from the fac-
tory set to the last digit of the machine's serial number. For proper operation,
BOTH switches must be set to the SAME channel. The channel of each
transmitter/machine pair is identified by a label on both the transmitter and
the machine.
Changing the control channel
1. Remove the transmitter module battery and rotate the selector switch
to the desired position. Install the transmitter module battery.
2. Set the rotary switch on the decoder module to the same position as
that of the rotary switch on the transmitter module.
3. To determine if the decoder module and the transmitter module are set
to the same channel, turn the key switch to the ON position and set the
transmitter module's ON-OFF switch to the ON position. The amber
lights on the machine's light ring should blink at a slow rate indicating
that the machine is receiving signals from the transmitter module. If the
amber lights illuminate but do not blink, the transmitter module and the
decoder module are not set to the same channel.
4. Change the channel identification label to match the selected channel
each time the channel is changed. Channel identification labels are
supplied with the Operator's Manual.
