Introduction 5 (44) Introduction Remotus is Åkerströms product family for radio remote control of safety critical industrial and mobile ap- plications. Remotus Jupiter is Åkerströms’ standardized industrial remote control product line. The manual must be used when installing Åkerströms Remotus system to ensure a secure and safe operation. This manual only covers the installation of the Remotus radio remote control system.
Use of warnings and notes in this manual 6 (44) Use of warnings and notes in this manual Read all safety instructions throughout this manual and on safety signs attached to this equipment. Failure to follow all safety instructions could result in death or serious injury. The safety alert symbol is used to alert about potential personal injury hazards.

Functional Description 8 (44) Functional Description Design The receiver consists of a MAIN board, antenna board (default, otherwise external antenna) and a radio module. The radio module is located on top of the MAIN board. The MAIN board holds all logic components, relays, power supply and the connectors. For RX161 there is a possibility to add an expansion board, see chapter 7.5 on page 15.
Installation 9 (44) Installation The permanent installation of the receiver must include fuses to protect the equipment and wiring from over current and short circuit. In detail the power supply of the receiver and all relay contacts must be fused. All fuses are used as disconnecting devices.
Installation 10 (44) Connections and switches on the MAIN board RX161/RX110: 1. Rotary switch, SW1 2. Rotary switch, SW2 3. Dipswitch, SW3 4. Pairing button 5. Horn (siren) 6. DC supply 24 V DC 7. Connection for radio module LED28 LED27 8.
Installation 11 (44) Cable installation If the receiver and/or receiver terminals are connected to more than one line phase the voltage between any connector must NOT exceed 250 V. If voltage of one phase is 230 V AC the corresponding three phase voltage is 380 V AC and thus NOT allowed.
Installation 12 (44) 7.3.1 Functional diagram / Program Option The receiver functional diagram shows how to connect the equipment, in this manual the functional dia- gram is written as different program options, see appendix RX161: 959125-100, RX110: 959125-101. 7.3.1.1 Cable drawing / functional diagram If you have bought a cable, there is a diagram for that cable and a specific program option.
Installation 13 (44) 7.3.3 AC supply Carefully check the power supply voltage level. 7.3.4 DC supply The connection cable for the DC supply shall be routed through 24VDC its own cable gland. Do not mix with NON SELV signals. 7.3.5 Digital inputs, RX161 Carefully check the signal voltage level.
Installation 14 (44) Antenna placement The antenna is by default placed internally in Jupiter receiver, see figure below. 1. Antenna board 2. Antenna connector Figure 9. Internal antenna 7.4.1 In case of external antenna placement When mounting the antenna separately it must be placed as open (in free air) as possible preferably below the crane beam.
Installation 15 (44) Expansion board for RX161 Number of relay outputs: 12 normally open (NO) and 4 normally open/normally closed (NO/NC). 7.5.1 Installation 7.5.1.1 Connections and indications In front of every relay there is a LED indicating an active relay. Connection for REL 9-16 REL 1-8...
