1994 CATTRON INCORPORATED SECTION 1 – PAGE 1TOGGLE STYLE CONTROLLERSECTION 1PRODUCT DATA AND SPECIFICATIONSINTRODUCTION - Designed specifically for roughheavy duty applications, the T01 toggle style radio remotecontroller is ideal for steel mill, steel service center andother severe industrial applications. Its functionaloperation is customized to duplicate the operatingcharacteristics of the controls most commonly found incrane and locomotive cabs. Therefore the change frommanual to radio control is easily learned by operators.This controller has a sophisticated electronics circuitboard using micro-computer digital circuitry. It isprotected by a sturdy thick-walled, anodized aluminumhousing with specially designed tough rubber endcaps.Extensive use of seals and gaskets provides all weatherprotection for the electronics circuit board which usesindustrial rated digital components, a powerful micro-computer and flexible operating software code.Some significant performance and safety features:POWER ON SELF TEST DIAGNOSTICS - When theoperator first turns the power switch on, a sophisticatedself-test routine tests the microcomputer and inputintegrated circuits to detect a failure. Any optional paddlestyle switches are tested for neutral at this time. A smallspeaker beeps twice when the test is complete & all isokay.FAILURE MESSAGE - If a motion function switchcircuitry failure occurs, it is recognized as a problem and“locked out” from any further input. A special message issent to the receiver/decoder to advise maintenancepersonnel of the problem. The message is both displayedand stored in the datalog of the Cattron 864 decoder.TOGGLE SWITCH PLACEMENT - Each layout iscustomized according to user needs. The levers areplaced far enough apart to accommodate operators whowear heavy gloves.TRANSMIT/BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR - Thelow battery detection circuit is a two stage design. With agood battery, this indicating light flashes green for eachburst of transmitted data. If the battery voltage dropsbelow the normal level, this LED flashes red during eachtransmission. A beeping sound every 10 seconds alertsthe operator. When this happens, the battery hasapproximately one hour of operating time remaining. Thecontroller stops transmitting before the voltage drops solow that erratic operation could occur. An optionalcharging jack allows battery recharging without batteryremoval.BATTERY OPTIONS - AA alkaline batteries, alkalinepacks, NICAD and mercury batteries are available.Whether you choose rechargeable or disposable batteries,changing the battery is easy - simply open the gasketedbattery cover, drop the battery in place and close the cover.There are no wires or connectors to insert into the battery,which improves long-term reliability of this unit.SAFETY BAR - A full length safety bar is provided tofunction as an enable device to all motion switches. It is alarge full-length switch that is easily and naturally activatedby the thumb or palm of the operator's hand any time heplaces his hand into position to move the motion switches.This push-to-operate (PTO) safety bar electronicallydisconnects all motion switches when it is released, thusstopping motion commands from' these switches. Thisfeature is programmable. Certain applications may havesome switches removed from control of the PTO bar. Anexample of this is the brake function of a locomotive.RUGGED HOUSING - The housing that surrounds andprotects the electronic circuitry is a thick-walled extrudedaluminum, which has a hard anodized exterior. The ends ofthe housing are rubber coated plates that make shockabsorbing end 'bumpers" which shield the toggle switches.DURABLE/OUTDOOR OPERATION - The toggleswitches are extremely long lived units that are sealed,providing water and dust protection. All modules and sub-components are gasketed, making this unit suitable foroutdoor operation in rain and snow.ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY STOP - An optional tiltswitch is available with this model. If the controller is tiltedin any axis beyond 451 of upright for longer than theprogrammed time (typically 5 seconds), a programmablefunction is sent automatically. This function can beassigned in the decoder to stop the equipment, sound analarm, or both. Reset time is also programmable.FREQUENCY OF OPERATION - The RF transmitter builtin this model allows operation in the 450-470 MHz band onlicensed radio channels. All models in the 450-470 MHzrange are synthesized (16 frequency max).APPLICATIONS - The T01 toggle type control unit canoperate any digital Cattron Series receiver/decoder built byCattron Incorporated. It can be used with existing systemsas a replacement or as an extra transmitter/encoder.

1994 CATTRON INCORPORATED SECTION 1 – PAGE 3FEATURES SUMMARY• MaterialExtruded aluminum body with fiberglass sides covered with molded rubber. These sides are designed as a switchguard. They are held in place with stainless steel screws.• Battery Compartment and DoorA large, hinged door with gaskets covers the battery tray, which is separated from the electronics by the main body.A metal latch holds the door in place.• Battery Connection and Electrical ProtectionElectrical connections are by stainless steel springs with a wiping action that makes contact when the battery isplaced into the tray. Electrical short-circuit protection is built into the battery tray via a Pollyswitch' device. Thisdevice resets once the short is cleared and there are no fuses to replace.• Weight and DimensionsThe standard 12 toggle unit weighs approximately 3 pounds and is 9.75 inches high x 3.75 inches wide x 4 inchesdeep. (A chest pack unit with one or two side-mounted lever switches is the same height, 2 inches wider per switchadded, and has little noticeable weight change.)• Battery ManagementThere is a two stage battery condition indicator light, which FLASHES GREEN when the unit is ON and the batteryis OK. It FLASHES RED when the battery is low and sounds a beeper to alert the operator. The indicator is OFFwhen the battery is dead. A LOW BATTERY CUTOFF CIRCUIT stops the micro-processor when voltage goesbelow safe operating range. RF transmitters always operate at full power over the entire life of the battery.• LabelingA large easy-to-read reverse engraved custom faceplate is nearly indestructible. It has large letters that won't wearoff or fill with dirt.• Waterproofing/DustproofingThere is extensive gasketing throughout construction. Each switch is totally sealed as are the battery door and endplates. The circuit board is conformal coated.• Switch Protection From Accidental OperationRubber sides guard the toggle switches from most accidental bumps. A convenient palm-operated bar must bepressed to allow any motion switch electrical operation. Simply releasing the PTO bar stops all motion.• Side-mounted Lever StylesOne or two side-mounted lever pods can be installed as an option. Standard units have a large easy-to-locate andcomfortable 'FLAG' style paddle. Shaped knobs are available as an option.• Self Diagnostics CapabilitiesThere is extensive power ON self-testing with two beeps from the beeper. A standard tilt switch and beeper are usedto check all switches (ACTIVATED BY HAVING THE UNIT TILTED WHEN POWER IS TURNED ON). Adiagnostic port is standard to allow connection to an IBMO PC for in-depth analysis by technicians.• Interconnection Circuitry and ConnectorsFlex circuits are used intensively to reduce wiring and improve reliability. Connectors are goldplated throughout.• Synthesized RF TransmittersUsed in 450 MHz operations, it reduces the spare controller requirements. Models with up to 16 RF channels areavailable.
