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. 1994 CATTRON INCORPORATED 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. SECTION 1 – PAGE 1 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS Case Material ...............................................

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. 1994 CATTRON INCORPORATED SECTION 1 – PAGE 3 MODEL SUMMARY CHART FOR CATTRON SERIES TOGGLE CONTROLLERS ITEM 10 PART NUMBER 01C-0177 01C-0177EA 01C-0176 01C-0172L 01C-0172L-V 01C-0172R 01C-0172R-BC 01C-0178 01C-0278T 01C-0282T See next page See next page M840T DESCRIPTION Upper Main Body Assembly Upper Main Body Assembly with Hardware – Connecting Kit For External Antenna Lower Main Body Assembly with Hardware Assembly, Left End Cap Standard, With Sonalert, Internal Antenna With Hardware Assembly, Left Endcap Optional, With Voice, Internal Antenna, With Hardware Assembly, Right Endcap Standard, With Keyswitch, With Hardware Assembly, Right Endcap Optional, With Keyswitch, With Hardware Push To Operate (PTO) Bar Assembly Door Assembly (Battery Cover) With Hardware Battery Assembly Tray Left Hand Lever Switch Assembly Right Hand Lever Switch Assembly M840T For Toggle Controller ( Plain No RF Section) 12 12 13 14 14 01C-0183 01C-0183B Does not apply 85C-0022 85C-0067 840 Switch Board Assembly with 12 Predrilled Switch Holes 840 Switch Board Assembly-No Switch Holes Drilled Custom Reverse Engraved Face Plate Antenna, External 450-470 MHz Flex Whip With BNC Connector Antenna, External 450-470 MHz Stubby With BNC Connector 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 60C-0023 C-8096 60C-0048 60C-0006 NLN-8106 01C-0185 23 24 25 26 NLN-8005 CPA-34G200C CPA-0281 CPA-0304 27 28 42-82608H03 42C-0056 Antenna, External Connector Kit (BNC to Encoder Board Connector) Battery, Alkaline Pack (White) Battery, NI-CAD Rechargeable Pack, Fast Charge (Yellow) Battery, Mercury Pack (White) Battery, Individual Alkaline, 1.5V “AA” (10 Required) Battery Holder For “AA” Alkaline Cells Battery Charger (Wall Transformer For Fast Charge) NOTE: Controller must have internal charge option.
