PENDANT STATION CONTROLLER OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL CUSTOMER: MODEL NUMBER: SERIAL NUMBER: FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT: ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT: MANUAL P/N: 68C-PS REV 000 01/2001

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Page i PENDANT STATION CONTROLLER OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTICES The security ‘i-Key’ that accompanies your Pendant Station (PS) controller has been pre-programmed with certain system operating parameters before leaving our factory. If your PS controller is of the Advanced Technology (AT) family that is custom built to your specification, such ‘i-Key’ parameters will include a specific address and operating frequency. However, CATTRON-THEIMEG™ strongly advises you to check that our pre-configured address and frequency is not duplicated in other remote control equipment located at, or around, your operating facility. When returning an PSAT Pendant controller to CATTRON-THEIMEG™ for repair, the original coded ‘i-Key’ supplied with the unit shall be returned with the unit. When returning a PSEZ or PSCS Pendant controller to CATTRON-THEIMEG™ for repair, we recommend the coded ‘i-Key’ last used with the unit be returned with the unit. Before returning a PSEZ or PSCS Pendant controller to CATTRON-THEIMEG™ for repair, we strongly recommend you record the operating address and frequency assigned to the controller as you will be required to re-program these operating parameters after we return your controller. Refer to Frequency and Address Reports in Section 5 of this manual for recording details. When a PSEZ or PSCS Pendant controller is returned to CATTRON-THEIMEG™ for repair, we make every effort to establish the operating address and frequency assigned to your controller when it arrives at our repair facility. Whenever such operands can be established, we will record the same on the service documentation returned with your controller. This equipment is firmware based. Any duplication of operating firmware without written consent of CATTRON-THEIMEG™ is prohibited. U.S. Copyright Laws protect all firmware, parts and product listings, assembly files, and this manual.

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 1, Page 1 Section 1 – Product Data & Specifications Functional Description. The CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Pendant Station (PS) remote controller is a lightweight, extremely rugged customizable radio control unit for use with any CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Portable Remote Control (PRC) System. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers are offered in three family configurations: PSEZ (Easy), PSCS (Crane Specific) and PSAT (Advanced Technology). In all three CATTRON-THEIMEG™ families of PS controllers, operational security is advanced to its maximum by the use of a removable stainless steel, electronic ‘i-Key’ which, when installed in the controller, defines and enables the appropriate operating parameters. When the ‘i-Key’ is removed, the controller is totally disabled. It should be noted that each family of PS controller has a specific colored ‘i-Key’ (green = EZ, blue = CS, and silver = AT) and that these ‘i-Keys’ are not interchangeable between controller families. The switch unit and electronics are contained in an extreme duty, water and dust resistant, aluminum housing which has armorized rubber end-caps for switch protection and high impact resistance. The controller housing is ergonomically designed with curved bottom and rubber side grips to allow comfortable handling. The ‘i-Key’ is mounted in a receptacle located within the confines of the armorized rubber ‘bumper’ that forms the top end-cap. Separate Power ON/OFF and STOP (red) switches are also located next to the removable ‘i-Key’. The controller front face contains up to six large pushbuttons that are engraved with their respective control function symbols. When pressed, each pushbutton activates circuitry inside the controller. Pushbuttons may be of three-step or proportional (stepless) operation. Three-step pushbuttons provide 3-speed operation with a single pushbutton. When pressed, each pushbutton step has a distinct limit of travel that provides an enhanced tactile feel that is noticed by the operator. Proportional (stepless) pushbuttons provide variable frequency drive (VFD) operation with a single pushbutton. In these applications, the drive motor speed is directly proportional to the amount of travel of the pushbutton (more distance = more speed). Additional maintained and momentary depression toggle switches are mounted within a recessed channel alongside the large control function pushbuttons. Note that PSAT models may be provided with variety of custom switches All commands from CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers respond within milliseconds of pressing or releasing a pushbutton. Additionally, a mainline ON command is sent when power is turned on and re-sent anytime a controller function pushbutton is pressed. Within the PS controller, a microprocessor performs self–diagnostics, interprets pushbutton and switch commands, and controls the radio transmitter.

Section 1, Page 2 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Functional Description, continued. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers are equipped with an internal antenna and the typical operating (transmitter) range is in excess of 500 feet (160+ meters). It should be understood that operating range varies with environmental conditions. Should the transmitter go out of operating range, all motions will cease. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PSAT series controllers have been approved to comply with both FCC Part 15 (non-continuous transmission) and FCC Part 90 (continuous transmission) applications, and for DOC RSS-210 (non-continuous transmission) and RSS-119 (continuous transmission) applications standards. No United States of America FCC, or Canadian DOC license is required for operation of FCC Part 15 or RSS-210 (non-continuous transmission) PS controllers. Non-licensed PS controllers transmit the very secure CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Series digital message, using frequency modulation (FM) radio. These radio transmitters are approved for use on frequencies between 425-447MHz (M) and 447-473MHz (H). They can be used on any frequency within these bands, including normally licensed channels without the need for a license. An authorized station operating license is required for the operation of US Part 90 and Canadian RSS-119 (continuous transmission) applications. If you need assistance in obtaining these licenses, please contact CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Inside Sales Department in the first instance. As previously mentioned, operational security is maximized by the need to use a stainless steel electronic ‘i-Key’ for controller operation. However, there is an additional and very significant operational advantage of the CATTRON-THEIMEG™ ‘i-Key’ concept. It is that individual system address, operating frequency and keypad configuration may be permanently stored in the ‘i-Key’, depending on the type of controller supplied. Therefore, CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers belonging to the same family at a user location can be identical - only the ‘i-Keys’ are different. To simplify, each ‘i-Key’ is color-coded and labeled for an individual control system family, thus, any CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controller will run any CATTRON-THEIMEG™ receiver/decoder belonging to the same family as long as the correct ‘i-Key’ is used. As the result, this unique operating concept reduces the need for specific spare remote controllers. Our unique family of PS controllers is identified on the next page. All CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers are powered by disposable 3-Volt alkaline or re-chargeable Ni-Cad battery packs. In normal operation, a green LED ‘flashes’ with each function command message and a ‘beep’ is sounded when a pushbutton is depressed. When the battery voltage becomes low, a separate yellow LED flashes, alerting the operator that the battery pack needs to be replaced or re-charged soon. Battery packs are easily and quickly replaced without the need for tools by turning two knurled thumbscrews and removing the battery cover-plate located within the confines of the armorized rubber bottom end-cap. The battery pack makes positive contact without snaps or plugs and has no wires to break; simply drop it in, and replace the battery cover-plate.

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 1, Page 3 Functional Description, continued. Ni-Cad battery packs can be re-charged ‘in-situ’ and do not need to be removed from the controller housing. To enable such battery charging to be carried out, a series of optional battery chargers are available for all CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers. One end of the charger is connected to the mains power outlet, the other plugs into a covered socket located within the bottom end cap. Additional options include an ‘AAA’ size battery adapter, and an external battery-charging unit – refer to accessories/consumable items in Section 6 for details and part numbers. A shoulder-carrying strap is standard for all CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PS controllers. This is quickly and simply installed to a pair of ‘D’-rings located on the side of the controller. Specifications.

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 1, Page 5 Overview – CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Remote Control Systems. Figure 1-1 below shows a simplified block diagram of a typical CATTRON-THEIMEG™ remote control system. Refer to this figure and the following paragraphs for a functional description of the remote control system. The target receiver/decoder is controlled by the Pendant Station Controller. Provided the correct coded ‘i-Key’ is inserted into the controller, the controller sends signals to the receiver/decoder using an UHF radio link. The signal is picked up by the antenna and passed on to the receiver. If the signal is the correct frequency and passes all required data tests, the signal is passed on to the decoder. The decoder compares the address code of the signal to its own address code. If the signal’s address code does not match its address code, it is ignored and a message is displayed on a system status display located in the receiver/decoder unit. If the address code is correct, the decoder processes the message and energizes and de-energizes the appropriate control, directional output, three-speed and auxiliary function relays located within the control system. An Automatic Safety Override (ASO) function continually monitors the state of all directional relay outputs (i.e. Forward/Reverse). If a directional relay electrically fails closed without a command from the controller, the ASO circuit logic de-energizes the master output relay (OPR). During operation, the microprocessor on the decoder board resets multiple watchdog timer circuits whenever valid messages are received and decoded. If the microprocessor fails to reset the watchdog timers, the timer circuits shut down and de-activate all relay outputs. The decoder microprocessor requires continuously valid transmitted signals to be received and decoded or all relay output functions will be de-activated unless programmed otherwise. It should be noted that the mainline control relay (OPR) would be maintained for up to 10 minutes, depending on system configuration. Figure 1-1.

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 2, Page 1 Section 2 – Safety Information Safety Considerations. CATTRON-THEIMEG™ believes that to safely operate any remotely controlled equipment, the overall system needs to be configured so that movement or operation of the equipment will take place only when the device is commanded to move or operate. For example; overhead cranes must be equipped with a braking system, which can only be released when an electrical signal is sent to the motor. Removal of electrical power or loss of the radio transmitted signal results in application of the brakes. One way to accomplish this is with a CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Electro-Hydraulic brake package – contact the factory for details. In keeping with this philosophy - NO COMMAND, NO MOVEMENT - CATTRON-THEIMEG™ has designed your radio remote control system with the following safety and security features. ‘i-Key’: Operational security is advanced to its maximum by the use of a removable stainless steel, electronic, ‘i-Key’ which, when installed to the Pendant controller, defines and enables the operating parameters. When the ‘i-Key’ is removed, the controller is totally disabled. Unique address code: Each PS series controller and receiver/decoder pair is configured with a unique address code so that the equipment will respond only to the controller whose address code matches that of the decoder. Intelligent digital message protocol: CATTRON-THEIMEG™ remote control systems utilize a unique message protocol for industrial control applications rather than the customary Electronic Data Processing (EDP) type of message format. ON/OFF power switch: The PS controller is provided with a rotary power ON/OFF switch that must be set to ‘ON’ in order to send commands to the receiver/decoder. If the power switch is set to ‘OFF’, the decoder will remove all commands from the controlled machinery, stopping all movement. However, the mainline control relay (OPR) will be maintained for up to 10 minutes, depending upon system configuration. Red System STOP Switch: Operating the red STOP switch while the PS controller is turned on will repeatedly send a burst of stop commands to all outputs including the mainline control relay (OPR). Operate relay (OPR): The operate (OPR) output relay shall be wired to control a user-provided electro-magnetic power contactor. The electro-magnetic contactor opens and closes the main electrical supply circuit(s) to the controlled device. Data Error Checking: All communications from the Pendant controller to the receiver/decoder contain error-checking information (BCH data error detection routines). The entire data command packet must pass error detection tests before being processed.

Section 2, Page 2 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Typical method of operation (incorporating above safety features) using a radio controlled overhead crane as an example: The Operate (OPR) relay(s) is energized for the first time when: The red STOP and rotary ON/OFF switches on the PS Controller are operated in the proper sequence (first unlatch and pull up STOP switch to ‘RUN’, then rotate ON/OFF switch to ‘ON’), the correct coded ‘i-Key’ is installed, and the target receiver/decoder has power applied. With all these conditions satisfied, a matching address code is sent by way of RF signal from the PS controller to the decoder. The OPR relay is wired to the mainline (ML) contactor on the crane. Once the mainline is energized, a continuously repeated valid signal must be received for function outputs to engage. If this signal is interrupted for any reason, all function outputs will turn off unless programmed otherwise. When operating within the USA, FCC rules state that RF transmitters in non-licensed controllers must switch off within five seconds after the operator releases a function pushbutton. Consequently, the OPR output is programmed to stay on for up to ten minutes after the last valid message is received. During this time all Automatic Safety Override (ASO) monitored outputs must stay off or the ASO sensing in the decoder will interrupt this hold up time, de-energizing OPR. Figure 2-1 below shows an Operate (OPR) contact wired directly to the mainline (ML) contactor. Provided the red STOP switch on the Pendant Controller is pulled out and the correct coded ‘i-Key’ is installed, setting the green ON/OFF power switch on the Pendant controller to ‘ON’ will energize the mainline contactor. Figure 2-1. Operate (OPR) contact wiring An auxiliary function may be used as a Reset (RST) output that will only be effective when the Operate (OPR) relay has been closed. Momentary closure of the Reset (RST) relay picks up the mainline (ML) contactor, which is maintained under control of the OPR. Thus, power is supplied to the controlled device. If OPR opens, the mainline contactor releases, removing power from the controlled device and stopping all motion. 120VL1 MLMLMANUALDISCONNECTL2L3 LL1LL2LL3 TOMOTORRECEIVER/DECODEREXISTING CONTROLS OPRRC5.0A

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 2, Page 3 Typical method of operation, continued. Figure 2-2 below shows the Operate (OPR) relay and optional Reset (RST) relay wired to control a mainline contactor. This configuration requires the operator to activate the reset function on the controller after he/she has turned the unit on. Once reset, the ML contactor stays energized until OPR de-energizes. In addition to being energized by the presence of a signal from the controller, OPR is under supervision of the Automatic Safety Override (ASO) circuit. The ASO circuit disables the OPR (shutting down the controlled machinery) if a directional output relay is active when no corresponding command is being received from the controller. In this event, no action is required by the operator to stop the equipment. The ASO safety circuitry will stop motion automatically without any operator command when a directional output relay fault is detected. Figure 2-2.

Section 3, Page 2 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Typical Controls and Indicators. Referring to Figure 3-2 below, your PS Controller may have some or all of the following Controls and Indicators: Figure 3-2. Operator controls and indicators STOP xxxx=left/rightzz=up/downzzyyy=forward/backwardyColor Coded ‘i-Key’‘ON/OFF’ SwitchGreen‘TRANSMIT’ LEDRed ‘STOP’ SwitchYellow ‘LOW BATTERY’ LED‘ALARM/RESET’ PushbuttonStepless Pushbutton3-step PushbuttonMaintained Toggle Switch

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 3, Page 3 Controls and Indicators, continued. The standard PS Controller is a lightweight unit with six large pushbuttons (function keys), plus a rotary power ON/OFF switch and a latched push/pull STOP switch. The color coded ‘i-Key’ sets the operating parameters for your control system and has been pre-configured at our factory. Your PS series controller has been engineered to duplicate some or all of the control functions normally found on the equipment being controlled. The controller may be hand carried or supported using an optional shoulder carry strap. PS series controllers are powered by disposable (Alkaline), or rechargeable (Ni-Cad), battery packs. With the correct color coded ‘i-Key’ inserted into the PS controller, setting the STOP and ON/OFF switches to their respective ‘RUN’ and ‘ON’ positions will apply power to the transmitter. When transmitting with a good battery, two short ‘beeps’ will be heard immediately after the ON/OFF power switch is set to ‘ON’ and the green TRANSMIT LED will ‘flash’ rhythmically. In addition, any time a pushbutton (function key) is pressed, the green TRANSMIT LED will ‘flash’ during each radio transmission. When the battery energy starts to go low, the yellow LOW BATTERY LED will ‘flash’ continuously, signaling the operator to change or re-charge the battery pack (refer to Battery Pack in Section 4 of this manual for instructions on how to replace a battery pack). When the ON/OFF switch is set to the ‘OFF’ position, power is removed from the controller causing all control functions to cease with the exception of OPR, which remains energized. Setting (pushing down) the red STOP switch to ‘STOP’ before setting the ON/OFF switch to ‘OFF’ immediately sends a burst of stop commands to the receiver/decoder unit. Immediately after the stop commands have been sent, the transmitter within the Pendant controller switches OFF. STOP commands will automatically be repeated for one minute or until the ON/OFF switch is set to the ‘OFF’ position, removing power from the controller. Referring to Figure 3-2, each large pushbutton is engraved with its control function symbol. When a pushbutton is depressed, the controller transmits the corresponding motion command. The controller stops sending commands five seconds after the last pushbutton is released. A ‘beep’ will be heard each time a button is pressed or released. On PSCS and PSEZ controllers, all large pushbuttons are of the three-step type. Each pushbutton step is momentary and must be maintained by the operator. For example, pressing the pushbutton will set the controlled machine in motion. The rate of motion may be increased by further pressure to the second or third speed step, as required. All machine motion will continue for as long as the pushbutton is held. Releasing the pushbutton at the third or second speed step causes the rate of motion to slow down. Completely releasing the pushbutton will send an ‘OFF’ command that de-energizes the drive motor, stopping all motion. On PSAT controllers, the large pushbuttons may be three-step, proportional, or a combination of both, dependant on the control application. Proportional pushbuttons are step-less and the speed of machine motion is totally dependent upon the travel distance of the pushbutton, much the same as an accelerator pedal on an automobile. Completely releasing the pushbutton will send an ‘OFF’ command that de-energizes the drive motor, stopping further motion.

Section 3, Page 4 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Battery Charging Options. NOTE: It is not recommended to re-charge the battery until the controller’s yellow ‘LOW BATTERY’ LED flashes continuously. Four CATTRON-THEIMEG™ battery chargers are offered for use with Ni-Cad battery packs only.

WARNING: ON CAB AND REMOTE OPERATED CRANES OR CARRIERS AN AUDIBLE OR VISUAL WARNING MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED. IN ADDITION, ALL EQUIPMENT SHALL HAVE AUDIO OR VISUAL ALARM INDICATIONS MEETING GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. FAILURE TO IMPLEMENT THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT. CAUTION: All control functions will be stopped if the PS Controller is used or left standing in an upright position during heavy rain, or in hostile environments where water could fill the top of the controller and cover the ‘i-Key’. To resume control functions, simply invert and shake the controller to remove excess water. There is no need to remove the ‘i-Key’. Ideally, to prevent such occurences in wet weather and water spray environments, the controller should (1) never be left standing upright, (2) be carried by the shoulder strap, and (3) operated in a near horizontal position. 1. Insert correct color-coded ‘i-Key’. This coded electronic key sets the unique operating parameters for a given control system. In the PSAT family of controllers, these parameters include, address code, operating frequency and function key (pushbutton) configurations, whereas in the PSEZ and PSCS families of controllers the ‘i-key’ only defines and enables the pushbutton operating functions for a specific PRC system. The ‘i-key’ is simply installed by pressing into its receptacle and may be further secured to the controller using the metal stud located behind the rubber bumper. Note that a Pendant Station Controller will not operate without an ‘i-Key’ installed. 2. Set red STOP Switch to ‘RUN’. Pulling this switch upward enables power to be applied to the PS controller. If the switch has been pushed down to the ‘STOP’ position, you will first have to unlatch the switch knob by rotating in a clockwise direction. 3. Set Power ON/OFF Switch to ‘ON’. Rotating this switch clockwise applies power to the PS controller. Two quick ‘beeps’ with the green TRANSMIT LED flashing rhythmically indicates the controller is ready for use and a power up message has been sent to the target receiver/decoder. The targeted receiver/decoder will respond by energizing the mainline contactor of your controlled equipment.

Section 3, Page 10 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Operating Procedure – PS Controller, continued. 4. Press any large pushbutton. The PS Controller is now fully operational and transmitting a signal as indicated by the green TRANSMIT LED flashing. Operate the pushbuttons and switches as required, remembering that each large pushbutton must be maintained in order for the function to continue to operate. Any or all functions may be operated simultaneously if the controlled machine permits such operation. NOTES: (1) A system STOP may be initiated at any time during the control function by pushing the red STOP switch downwards. (2) When all control functions have been completed, we recommend you initiate a system STOP (push red STOP switch down) before setting the ON/OFF switch to the ‘OFF’ position. This will prevent the Mainline contactor from remaining energized for up to 10 minutes via control of OPR. END OF SECTION

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 4, Page 1 Section 4 – Maintenance Instructions CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Maintenance Philosophy. CAUTION: All PS Controller internal circuit boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Consequently, all maintenance procedures involving disassembly and assembly of controllers shall be carried out by qualified technicians using anti-static mats and personal grounding straps. Failure to comply with this caution may result in equipment damage and void our warranty. Our general maintenance philosophy is that inoperative PS Controllers are normally returned as complete units to our workshops for repair. This is because (a) the internal circuit boards are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge and (b) internal components are highly miniaturized and assembled to within very close tolerances. Consequently, internal components may be irreparably damaged when replaced by unqualified maintenance personnel. However, CATTRON-THEIMEG™ will permit replacement for the sub-assemblies and components identified below, provided (1) replacements are carried out by suitably qualified technicians, (2) all recommendations to eliminate electrostatic discharge are implemented and (3) all defective items are returned to our workshops for repair. In the CATTRON-THEIMEG™ Series of PS Controllers, five items may be easily and quickly replaced – refer to the Illustrated Parts Breakdown in Section 6. These are: 1. Battery Pack (Ni-Cad = Part # 60C-0060N. Alkaline = Part # 60C-0060A). 2. Top End Cap sub-assembly (Part # CPA-0360), containing the ‘i-Key’ receptacle, power ON/OFF switch, red system STOP switch, internal antenna module, all surrounded by an armorized rubber bumper. 3. Bottom End Cap sub-assembly (Part # CPA-0359), containing the battery door assembly, battery-charging socket and surrounded by an armorized rubber bumper. 4. Upper Main Body Housing (Part # 15C-0138R). 5. Rubber Side Grips (Part # 15C-0126P).

Section 4, Page 2 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Maintenance Procedures. Preventive Maintenance is a periodic check of the system to keep it functioning at peak performance. Preventive maintenance can also help prevent breakdowns and equipment outages by identifying potential problems before they become real problems. Corrective Maintenance refers to fixing a problem once it has occurred. The goal of corrective maintenance is to get the system back on line as quickly as possible with a minimum impact on operations. Preventive maintenance – PS Controllers. Preventive maintenance for PS controllers is minimal because they are extremely durable and reliable units. Preventive maintenance procedures are detailed in the following sub paragraphs: Daily Visual Inspection. Before use, visually inspect the controller for cleanliness, physical damage, and security of external parts (screws, switches, rubber grips, etc.). CATTRON-THEIMEG™ emphasizes that regular visual inspections not only mean quickly locating a source of potential problems, but also may prevent serious problems from developing later. Annual Netting Check. Netting means that the receiver and transmitter of the radio control system are aligned on the same frequency. It is very important that the receiver is exactly tuned to the frequency required. This check should be done once a year by a qualified radio technician utilizing calibrated test equipment. Troubleshooting – PS Controllers. A basic Troubleshooting Guide is provided on page 4 of this section. When troubleshooting the controller, the other major components of the remote control system (power supply and receiver/decoder) should be fully operational. The operator should also be located within 500 feet (160+ meters) of the target receiver/decoder. Corrective maintenance – PS Controllers. Corrective maintenance for PS Controllers is restricted to replacing the Battery Pack, Rubber Side Grips, Top End Cap sub-assembly, Bottom End Cap sub-assembly and Upper Main Body Housing. Refer to the Disassembly/Assembly procedures below when removing and replacing items. On completion of any assembly procedure and before placing the PS Controller into operational service, carry out a Functional Check as follows:

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 4, Page 3 Maintenance Procedures, continued. Functional Check. A functional check is accomplished by operating the PS Controller in accordance with the Operating Procedures in Section 3 of this manual. Insure all system control functions are fully operational. Replacement Items – Pendant Controllers. Replacement items may be ordered direct from CATTRON-THEIMEG™. To order replacement items, refer to Section 6 of this manual for part numbers and quantities required. In addition: 1. If ordering replacement parts for PSAT controllers, provide the following information: (1) the model type and revision number located on the serial tag underneath the controller, and (2) the control system ID and serial number located on the ‘i-Key’ label tag. 2. If ordering replacement parts for PSEZ or PSCS controllers, provide the model type and revision number located on the serial tag underneath the controller.

Observe these guidelines when carrying out the following procedures: • When requesting spare parts from CATTRON-THEIMEG™, provide the model type of the controller (refer to the serial tag located on the underside if the controller). • Tag defective items with a description of the fault and return the item to CATTRON-THEIMEG™ for repairs. • Tag all leads before de-soldering or removal. Use small wire tags or pieces of adhesive tape with handwritten numbers. Reconnect all wires to the same location from which they were removed, observing proper polarity. • Visually inspect all disassembled items for damage. Replace damaged or defective items with identical items. CAUTION: All circuit boards are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Use an anti-static mat and personal grounding strap (wrist) for all maintenance procedures involving disassembly and assembly of PS Controllers. Failure to comply with this caution may result in equipment damage and will void our warranty. PS Controllers contain electrostatic sensitive devices that may be damaged (immediately or latently) by electrostatic charges of less than 1,000 volts. Since electrostatic charges of up to 35,000 volts may be present at the workbench, it is imperative that you take the following precautions before disassembly and assembly of the controller. • Ground the working surfaces of the workbench. This may be accomplished with an anti-static kit containing a wrist strap, two ground cords, anti-static floor-mats, and anti-static tablemats. • Remove nylon or double-knit polyester jackets, roll up long sleeves, and remove or tie back hanging neckties. • Eliminate static-generating material (plastics, styrofoams, synthetic materials, etc.) from the workbench area.

01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 5, Page 1 Section 5 – PSEZ & CS Series Controllers Introduction – PSEZ & CS Controllers. In the PSAT controller family previously described in this manual, the ‘i-Key’ supplied with the controller is pre-programmed with the system operating address, operating frequency and controller pushbutton/function switch layout for a given control system. Note that PSAT pushbuttons may be either of the 3-step type, the proportional (stepless) type, or a combination of both, dependent upon system requirements. In the PSEZ and CS controller families, the ‘i-Key’ is only pre-programmed with the controller pushbutton/function switch layout for a given control system. Note that PSEZ and CS pushbuttons are of the 3-step variety only. In addition: 1. When your PSEZ or CS Controller is supplied as part of a complete CATTRON-THEIMEG™ control system package (controller, receiver/decoder and appropriate hardware), the system operating address and operating frequency is pre-programmed into the controller at our factory and advised to yourselves. Such programming has been carried out using the top four large pushbuttons. 2. When your PSEZ or CS Controller is supplied as a stand-alone item to complement your existing CATTRON-THEIMEG™ EZ or CS Control System, or has been returned after repairs, address and operating frequency has not been pre-programmed into the controller at our factory. Given the circumstances described in 1 and 2, above, you will be required to verify/program the system address and operating frequency before using your PSEZ or CS controller for the first time. Installing Different PSCS (blue) & EZ (green) ‘i-Keys’. As an additional safeguard, your PSCS and EZ controller’s internal programming software has been designed to prevent accidental operation of your remote controlled equipment immediately a different (wrong control system) ‘i-Key’ is inserted into the controller. All PSCS and EZ ‘i-Keys’ are electronically coded with an individual serial number. This unique ‘i-Key’ serial number is automatically registered with the host controller’s programming software when the target remote control system operating address and frequency are programmed using the controller keypad. Consequently, inserting any ‘i-Key’ into your controller except the ‘i-Key’ installed when the operating address and frequency was last programmed (the original ‘i-Key’) will prevent any further remote control operations. When a different (or defective) ‘i-Key’ is installed, the controller will indicate a fault condition by emitting four long ‘beeps’ immediately after you apply power to the remote controller.

Section 5, Page 2 01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Installing Different PSCS (blue) & EZ (green) ‘i-Keys’, continued. If you wish to continue remote control operations, it will be necessary to choose one of the following options: 1. Install the original ‘i-Key’ into the controller, or, 2. Re-program the address code and frequency of the controller with a different ‘i-Key’ installed – refer to page 5 of this Section onwards for programming procedures. This unique ‘i-Key’ serial number will then be registered with the host controller’s programming software immediately upon entering one of the controller’s keypad programming menu options. NOTE. If option 2 above has been selected, inserting the original ‘i-Key’ (referred to in option 1 above) or any other ‘i-Key’ into the controller will prevent any further remote control operations. PSEZ & CS Control Systems - frequency and address assignment. WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY SELECT FREQUENCY AND ADDRESS MAY RESULT IN THE UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION OF OTHER MACHINERY AND COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONNEL. DO NOT DUPLICATE ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT. To enable a CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PSEZ & PSCS controller and receiver/decoder to communicate, they must use the same RF frequency and digital address. PSEZ PRC system controllers and receiver/decoders are capable of operating on up to 79 different frequencies and 126 addresses. PSCS PRC system controllers and receiver/decoders are capable of operating on up to 127 different frequencies and 65,000 addresses for maximum versatility.

$01/2001, CATTRON - THEIMEGTM Section 5, Page 3 PSEZ & CS Control Systems - frequency and address assignment, continued. NOTE: CS PRC system receiver/decoder board address codes are permanently assigned at the factory for the life of the equipment. They may not be changed by yourself. However, you may be required to change the frequency and address code of the PS Series controller. This may be necessary when: (1) The factory preset address code assigned to the system receiver/decoder is different to that set in the PS controller, (2) installing more than one control system at a single location, (3) replacing a receiver/decoder board, (4) other radio remote control systems emit RF signals that interfere with normal or safe operation, and (5) inserting any ‘i-Key’ into a controller except the one installed when the address and frequency was last programmed. Before making any change to PS controller frequency and address settings, check the factory settings on the target receiver/decoder to determine what changes are necessary for the controller. A CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PSEZ controller sends a two-digit address code with every transmission. A CATTRON-THEIMEG™ PSCS controller sends a four-digit address code with every transmission. For the system to operate, the same address code must be set in the receiver/decoder. When a transmission is received by the target control system receiver/decoder, the address of the PS controller sending the signal is checked against the address of the receiver/decoder. If these addresses do not match, the signal is ignored and an error message is displayed on the receiver/decoder status display. For safety reasons, it is recommended that each plant maintain a central record of frequency and address assignments so that no two PS controllers at any single location use the same address or frequency settings. Ignoring this recommendation could cause unintentional operation of other machinery resulting in damage to equipment and/or personal injury or death. PSEZ & CS Controllers - address/frequency verification. NOTES: (1) The PSEZ controller has two programmable address code digits which are selected using Pushbuttons #3 (High digit) and #4 (Low digit) on the keypad. (2) The PSCS controller has four programmable address code digits which are selected using Pushbuttons #1 (High digit) thru #4 (Low digit) on the keypad. Verify the desired address (address consists of two or four digits, all of which must be programmed) and the frequency of the receiver/decoder unit that is intended to be operated. The original factory settings can be found on the label affixed to the side of the receiver/decoder housing, or on the front inside cover of the manual originally supplied with the PS Series system. EXAMPLE #1: Sample EZ System Label - Factory Settings: Frequency 448.9000MHz Address: F E / \ Digit #1 Digit #2 (‘High’ digit) (‘Low’ digit)$

Programming PSEZ &CS Controller address and frequency. WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY SELECT FREQUENCY AND ADDRESS MAY RESULT IN THE UNINTENTIONAL OPERATION OF OTHER MACHINERY AND COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONNEL. DO NOT DUPLICATE ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT. NOTES: (1) The ‘i-Key’ must match the two letter designation of the model number, i.e. EZ, or CS. This is found on a label located on the underside of the controller, and also on a label located inside the battery compartment. (2) The controller will not operate your target control system without the correct address and operating frequency programmed. Referring to Figure 5-1 below and the keypad function menu on the next page, the top four large pushbuttons of the PSEZ and PSCS controller are used during the data entry mode. As required, proceed to verify/program PS Controller address and frequency using the following procedures:$
