Your radio remote control is designed for remote operation of machines and systems using safe wireless communications technology. Any modification, reconstruction or extension of the systems without a written agreement of Hetronic may lead to the loss of your warranty and guarantee claims.
Do not keep your ERGO-S stored in a closed container for extended periods of time unless it is powered off and the battery is removed from the unit. Charging the ERGO-S in a closed container is a potential fire hazard and may shorten its lifespan. Lithium-Ion batteries give off heat when charging and when discharging.
Functional Description We congratulate you on the purchase of your new Hetronic ERGO-S push button transmitter. You have chosen a high quality product. Familiarise yourself with the unit before using it for the first time. In addition please carefully refer to the operating instructions and the safety advise given in this manual.
ERGO-S Transmitter 3.1 General Description The ERGO-S is an ergonomically designed, programmable wireless industrial transmitter for remote machine control. Your transmitter is encased in a rugged IP65 rated housing, is battery-powered, and comes equipped with built-in low battery detection.

Your ERGO-S transmitter’s parameters (Frequency, Baud rate, display brightness, access code, time, date and much more) can be updated without connecting to Hetronic PC-Link. When the transmitter is in this mode the user can also check proper functioning of the buttons.
2. Insert a fully charged battery into the battery compartment of the transmitter. 3. Insert the USB key supplied with the transmitter in the ERGO-S port (#16) and press Power (#12) button to power ON the transmitter unit. 4. Enter Access code (if enabled in Hetronic PC-Link configuration).
4.8 Magnetic Belt Clip (if equipped) The practical magnetic belt clip allows the user to hang the ERGO-S transmitter to any steel surface and continue operation hands free or store the transmitter hung vertically when not in use and have easy access to it.

PROGRAMMING AND SERVICE MANUAL | ERGO-S 5.2.2 Adjusting Settings in Service Mode The four topmost buttons on the front panel are used to navigate through Service Mode and also to change setting parameters within the menus. The menu selection changes with every screen and the description of what each of the four buttons will do is explained next to the button number.
The coder address with which the ERGO-S transmitter has been programmed from the factory can be found listed on the datasheet. This can be updated via Hetronic PC-Link in the ‘RF’ tab and any number between 1 and 999999 can be used. The user is also able to read the coder address from the transmitter when the option ‘About’...
6.2.1 Radio Settings The ERGO-S coder is designed with the possibility to connect two on board RF modules either operating in the sub 1GHz range as well as MFS2G4 and CS2400. When the RF module is plugged directly on to the coder (onboard), the user may select the frequency channel or group to use for communication.
4800 or 9600bits/second for the Hetronic standard 4xx-8xx MHz radio modules. The standard baud rate of 115200 radio modules. The standard baud rate of 115200 bits/second is used for Hetronic standard 2.4GHz radio modules. radio modules. To change the TX Baud...
6.2.5 MFS 2.4GHz Radio Mode The presence of internal 2G4 radio allows the ERGO-S coder to operate in MFS 2G4 mode. MFS Channels – There are 16 channels available for selection of the primary and secondary channels of operation. The ...
6.3.1 DK Assignment Your ERGO-S transmitter can have 8 front and 4 side switches (for V1 and V2 type). These switches can be configured from the H-Link DK tab and each switch can be assigned with 3 different DK’s. The front switches can be 1 step or 2 step switches, depending on the coder, and the side switches can only be 1 step.
This is normally 2 seconds after #15 is pressed, however the shut down delay can be configured to last up to 7.5 seconds. This can be set on Hetronic PC-Link from the ‘Shut Down Delay’ Timer on the DK tab.
By adjusting the joystick analogue input sensitivity level from the bar in H By adjusting the joystick analogue input sensitivity level from the bar in Hetronic PC-Link, the speed by which the analogue input updates is by which the analogue input updates is configured.
After connecting the transmitter to Hetronic PC-Link, the user has to click on “Connect” on the Link, the user has to click on “Connect” on the ‘Device Status’ tab and the status status bar changes to green which denotes communication.
6.6 Feedback Messages Customized LCD feedback is used for ERGO-S and this is handled through the LCD and LEDs next to the LCD. This mode allows the display of images in any location on the LCD and decoding of the feedback data as required by user without the need to follow any particular graphics mode.
500ms to 5 seconds and the image displayed can be configured through the Hetronic Graphics Programmer. Should the user not wi 500ms to 5 seconds and the image displayed can be configured through the Hetronic Graphics Programmer. Should the user not wish to have a timeout image being displayed then a blank white screen can be set in the GUI timeout screen settings.

6.10.1 Installation of Cable Control Cable 1. Switch off ERGO-S and remove the battery. 2. Plug in the cable in the ERGO-S, making sure the clips are securely fastened. 6.10.2 Operation of ERGO-S in Cable Control Mode With cable control cable attached, switch on transmitter following the start up sequence as outlined in Section 4. During start up, the transmitter will automatically recognize that the cable is attached and communicating and thus will switch into cable control mode.
Operation Your ERGO-S transmitter works with a receiving device to transfer machine control commands via radio frequency to your machine. The transmitter electronically generates a carrier frequency that allows it to communicate with the receiver without the use of cables or wires. The receiver then converts the carrier frequency information into discrete machine control outputs that interface with your machine’s controls.
Tools required: Keil ULink 2 and uVision 4 1. Connect the “ULINK USB-JTAG Adapter” to the ERGO-S board’s JTAG (JTAG designator) connector. Square pad is pin 1. 2. Press the Power on button of the transmitter and keep it held until programming is completed.
