DESCRIPTION:
KAR-TECH's VERSA REMOTE is a
state of the art microprocessor
based Radio Frequency (RF) and
Controller Area Network (CAN)
remote control system designed to
provide the machine operator
with the ability to remotely
operate equipment. The machine
operator is still required to follow
OSHA and other applicable
standards when operating the
equipment.
This system is designed with
Frequency
Hopping
Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) Technology and
Frequency Lock feature to
eliminate the RF interference
problem
in
Radio
remote
products.
The control system consists of two
major modules: the remote
station (RF transmitter), and the
Remote
Receivers
(Digital
Controllers).
Each
transmitter
is
preprogrammed with a special
radio ID code. The receiver is
programmed to respond only to
the transmitter with the ID code
for which it is set. This feature
allows the equipment to work in
wireless mode in close vicinity of
each other without interfering
with each other. In the event that
a transmitter becomes damaged
and a new one is needed, the
receiver can be reprogrammed to
respond to the new transmitter.
Please refer to TRANSMITTER AND
RECEIVER ID CODE PROGRAMING
section of this manual for
additional information.
The remote station has two LED
indicators, the BATTERY and
TRANSMIT indicators. The red
BATTERY indicator starts blinking
when the battery voltage drops
below 9 volts and blinking speed
increases while the voltage is
decreasing. The transmitter is
powered by a rechargeable
battery and can be recharged by
the +12 volt electrical system of
the machine when connected to
the machine by the CAN/charger
cable or charger cable.
An
optional AC charger can be used
to charge the battery.
Both frequency and duration of
use determine the operation time
of the battery. Power is being
used any time the transmitter
power is on. To turn transmitter
power off, turn off the power
switch on the transmitter. To
prolong the battery life and
efficiency, the pendant should not
VERSA REMOTE
be left on charge for a long period
of time and should be discharged
periodically. A complete charge
can be achieved in 8 hour.
To save battery life, the
transmitter is designed with an
auto shut down feature. This
feature turns transmitter off when
none of the switches or buttons is
used for specified period. To turn
transmitter on again, toggle the
power switch to off, then on
position.
The transmitter is also able to
communicate with the receiver
via CAN (Controller Area Network)
protocol.
This is done by
connecting the CAN cable to the
transmitter.
This feature is
designed to allow the user to
operate the machine in case of
radio interference or discharged
transmitter battery.
OUTPUTS:
There are sourcing on/off outputs
and proportional outputs on the
receiver module. Each output is
designed with built in short circuit
and overload protection. The
on/off outputs are also designed
with no load or broken wire
status. These statuses are
reported to the machine operator
via the error code display in the
receiver. Refer to the error code
chart for a list of error codes.
The Proportional outputs are
current regulated and the
minimum and maximum requited
current as well as ramp for the
proportional output is calibrated
using a Palm Pilottm.
Each
function is programmed for preset
factory settings when shipped
from Kar-Tech. Refer to factory
setting table at the end of this
manual.
DISPLAY:
The receiver is designed with an
integrated 4-character alphanumeric red LED Intelligent
Display. This display is used to
report the status of the outputs,
radio communication, etc. to the
machine operator. For additional
information on error codes refer
error code chart of this manual.

INSTALLATION:
each mating pin terminal.
1.Refer to the wiring chart for
wiring connections.
3.Read the rest of this manual.
2.The receiver should be mounted
on shock absorbing mounts. The
receiver is best mounted in a
protected location.
3.When installing the unit, the
main power should run from the
battery, through a 20 amps fast
blow fuse, to a power switch or
relay; then into the receiver unit.
For best results connect the
receiver main power connections
to the auxiliary terminal of the
ignition switch, PTO switch, or
ignition relay. Use 18 gauge or
heavier wire.
4.All connections must be
properly insulated to protect
against shorts.
5.Seal all connections with a nonconductive silicone grease to
prevent against corrosion.
BEFORE APPLYING POWER:
1.Check
polarity.

2.Check wiring harness for
possible shorts before connecting
remote control to output devices
(i.e., valves, relays) by checking
TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER ID
CODE PROGRAMMING:
Each
transmitter
is
preprogrammed with a special
radio ID code. The user can
change the ID code by the
following procedure.
1. Press the switch down (off)
2. Move the switch.
In this state, both LEDs on the
remote start toggling until the
user operates a function switch on
the remote. After the lights stop
flashing, a new ID has been
chosen.
The receiver is programmed to
respond only to the transmitter
with the ID code for which it is
set. This feature allows the
equipment to work in wireless
mode in close vicinity of each
other without interfering with
each other. In the event that a
transmitter becomes damaged and
a new one is needed, the receiver
can be reprogrammed to respond
to the new transmitter ID. A code
reset is done by connecting power
to the programming pin or
installing the mate to the 2 pin
WeatherPack connector provided
on harnesses (short 2 ft. cable) to
short power to program pin. This
VERSA REMOTE
connector must be removed after
programming ID code is set to
prevent from reprogramming ID
codes.

following
are
general
precautions that should be
closely followed in carrying out
any maintenance work.
1. Do not have hydraulic power
available to the valves when
performing electrical tests or
downloading programs.
2. Never operate or test any
function if any person is in an
area where they could be hurt
by being hit or squeezed by the
13
hydraulic equipment.
3. Turn power off before
connecting or disconnecting
valve coils or other electrical
loads.

INSTRUCTION TO THE USER:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
* Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
* Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
* Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
* Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This equipment has been certified to comply with the limits for a class B computing
device, pursuant to FCC Rules. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations,
shielded cables must be used with this equipment. Operation with non-approved
equipment or unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and TV
reception. The user is cautioned that changes and modifications made to the
equipment without the approval of manufacturer could void the user's authority to
operate this equipment.
The term "IC:" before the certification/registration number only signifies that the
Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the device.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: To comply with the FCC RF Exposure compliance requirements,
the following antenna installation and device operating configurations must be
satisfied:
