TOGGLE STYLE CONTROLLER
SECTION 1
PRODUCT DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS
INTRODUCTION - Designed specifically for rough
heavy duty applications, the T01 toggle style radio remote
controller is ideal for steel mill, steel service center and
other severe industrial applications.
Its functional
operation is customized to duplicate the operating
characteristics of the controls most commonly found in
crane and locomotive cabs. Therefore the change from
manual to radio control is easily learned by operators.
This controller has a sophisticated electronics circuit
board using micro-computer digital circuitry.
It is
protected by a sturdy thick-walled, anodized aluminum
housing with specially designed tough rubber endcaps.
Extensive use of seals and gaskets provides all weather
protection for the electronics circuit board which uses
industrial rated digital components, a powerful microcomputer and flexible operating software code.
Some significant performance and safety features:
POWER ON SELF TEST DIAGNOSTICS - When the
operator first turns the power switch on, a sophisticated
self-test routine tests the microcomputer and input
integrated circuits to detect a failure. Any optional paddle
style switches are tested for neutral at this time. A small
speaker beeps twice when the test is complete & all is
okay.
FAILURE MESSAGE - If a motion function switch
circuitry failure occurs, it is recognized as a problem and
“locked out” from any further input. A special message is
sent to the receiver/decoder to advise maintenance
personnel of the problem. The message is both displayed
and stored in the datalog of the Cattron 864 decoder.
TOGGLE SWITCH PLACEMENT - Each layout is
customized according to user needs. The levers are
placed far enough apart to accommodate operators who
wear heavy gloves.
TRANSMIT/BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR - The
low battery detection circuit is a two stage design. With a
good battery, this indicating light flashes green for each
burst of transmitted data. If the battery voltage drops
below the normal level, this LED flashes red during each
transmission. A beeping sound every 10 seconds alerts
the operator.
When this happens, the battery has
approximately one hour of operating time remaining. The
controller stops transmitting before the voltage drops so
low that erratic operation could occur. An optional
charging jack allows battery recharging without battery
removal.

BATTERY OPTIONS - AA alkaline batteries, alkaline
packs, NICAD and mercury batteries are available.
Whether you choose rechargeable or disposable batteries,
changing the battery is easy - simply open the gasketed
battery 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 to
function as an enable device to all motion switches. It is a
large full-length switch that is easily and naturally activated
by the thumb or palm of the operator's hand any time he
places his hand into position to move the motion switches.
This push-to-operate (PTO) safety bar electronically
disconnects all motion switches when it is released, thus
stopping motion commands from' these switches. This
feature is programmable. Certain applications may have
some switches removed from control of the PTO bar. An
example of this is the brake function of a locomotive.
RUGGED HOUSING - The housing that surrounds and
protects the electronic circuitry is a thick-walled extruded
aluminum, which has a hard anodized exterior. The ends of
the housing are rubber coated plates that make shock
absorbing end 'bumpers" which shield the toggle switches.
DURABLE/OUTDOOR OPERATION - The toggle
switches are extremely long lived units that are sealed,
providing water and dust protection. All modules and subcomponents are gasketed, making this unit suitable for
outdoor operation in rain and snow.
ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY STOP - An optional tilt
switch is available with this model. If the controller is tilted
in any axis beyond 451 of upright for longer than the
programmed time (typically 5 seconds), a programmable
function is sent automatically. This function can be
assigned in the decoder to stop the equipment, sound an
alarm, or both. Reset time is also programmable.
FREQUENCY OF OPERATION - The RF transmitter built
in this model allows operation in the 450-470 MHz band on
licensed radio channels. All models in the 450-470 MHz
range are synthesized (16 frequency max).
APPLICATIONS - The T01 toggle type control unit can
operate any digital Cattron Series receiver/decoder built by
Cattron Incorporated. It can be used with existing systems
as a replacement or as an extra transmitter/encoder.

FEATURES SUMMARY
•
Material
Extruded aluminum body with fiberglass sides covered with molded rubber. These sides are designed as a switch
guard. They are held in place with stainless steel screws.
•
Battery Compartment and Door
A 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 Protection
Electrical connections are by stainless steel springs with a wiping action that makes contact when the battery is
placed into the tray. Electrical short-circuit protection is built into the battery tray via a Pollyswitch' device. This
device resets once the short is cleared and there are no fuses to replace.
•
Weight and Dimensions
The standard 12 toggle unit weighs approximately 3 pounds and is 9.75 inches high x 3.75 inches wide x 4 inches
deep. (A chest pack unit with one or two side-mounted lever switches is the same height, 2 inches wider per switch
added, and has little noticeable weight change.)
•
Battery Management
There is a two stage battery condition indicator light, which FLASHES GREEN when the unit is ON and the battery
is OK. It FLASHES RED when the battery is low and sounds a beeper to alert the operator. The indicator is OFF
when the battery is dead. A LOW BATTERY CUTOFF CIRCUIT stops the micro-processor when voltage goes
below safe operating range. RF transmitters always operate at full power over the entire life of the battery.
•
Labeling
A large easy-to-read reverse engraved custom faceplate is nearly indestructible. It has large letters that won't wear
off or fill with dirt.
•
Waterproofing/Dustproofing
There is extensive gasketing throughout construction. Each switch is totally sealed as are the battery door and end
plates. The circuit board is conformal coated.
•
Switch Protection From Accidental Operation
Rubber sides guard the toggle switches from most accidental bumps. A convenient palm-operated bar must be
pressed to allow any motion switch electrical operation. Simply releasing the PTO bar stops all motion.
•
Side-mounted Lever Styles
One or two side-mounted lever pods can be installed as an option. Standard units have a large easy-to-locate and
comfortable 'FLAG' style paddle. Shaped knobs are available as an option.
•
Self Diagnostics Capabilities
There is extensive power ON self-testing with two beeps from the beeper. A standard tilt switch and beeper are used
to check all switches (ACTIVATED BY HAVING THE UNIT TILTED WHEN POWER IS TURNED ON). A
diagnostic port is standard to allow connection to an IBMO PC for in-depth analysis by technicians.
•
Interconnection Circuitry and Connectors
Flex circuits are used intensively to reduce wiring and improve reliability. Connectors are goldplated throughout.
•
Synthesized RF Transmitters
Used in 450 MHz operations, it reduces the spare controller requirements. Models with up to 16 RF channels are
available.
