PRELIMINARY Definitions of Terminology Four types of special notice are used throughout this manual. They are: Warning, Caution, Important, and Note. The warnings and cautions in this safety section relate to the equipment in general and apply to all aspects of the foot switch. Be sure to read the other chapters because there are additional warnings and cautions, which relate to specific features of the footswitch. Warning- A WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Caution- A CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. Cautions are also used to avoid damage to equipment. Important- An IMPORTANT notice indicates an emphasized note. It is something you should be particularly aware of, something not readily apparent. Note- A NOTE indicates a particular point of information, something on which to focus your attention. Warnings To avoid personal injury, do not use this switch on machinery with an unguarded point of operation. Use of foot controls on machinery lacking effective point of operation safeguards can cause serious injury to the operator. Foot controls should only be used where “Point of Operation” and “Pinch Point” guarding devices have been properly installed and are utilized so that it is IMPOSSIBLE for the operator’s hands or fingers to remain within the point of operation during the machine cycle.

PRELIMINARY Warnings Accidental spills- In the event that fluids are accidentally spilled on the receiver, take the receiver out of operation and inspect for damage. Electric shock- To reduce the risk of electrical shock do not remove any covers. Refer servicing to qualified personnel Explosion hazard- Do not use this equipment in the presence of flammable materials. Grounding- Do not defeat the three-wire grounding feature of the AC adapter. A dangerous shock hazard may result. Interfacing to equipment- Foot switches must be interfaced with other equipment. Be certain to consult manufacturer’s specifications to maintain safe operation. Cautions: Annual servicing- For continued safety and performance of the switch, it is recommended that the functionality and electrical safety of the switch be verified on an annual basis by an authorized Linemaster representative. Daily testing- It is essential that the foot switch be inspected everyday or before use. Performance- The RF wireless footswitch system operates on a frequency range of 2.405-2.480 GHz. It should be tested to assure compatibility with any device it is connected to or environment it is working in. Report all problems experienced with the footswitch. If the footswitch is not working properly, contact your service representative for service. The footswitch should not be used if it is not working properly. On a REGULAR BASIS, lubricate the treadle pivot rod with one or two drops of lubricating oil on that portion of the pivot rod that extends between the outside of the base and inside of the treadle; two places. Manual P/N RF Industrial Rev 005 5 of 17
PRELIMINARY Cautions: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Linemaster Switch Corporation could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. Important: Performance- Multiple transmitters and receivers may be operated in a single room. Each transmitter and receiver is paired at the factory. Loss of signal- If the receiver does not receive a signal from the transmitter for a period of 1050ms it will shut off the outputs. However, once the transmission is restored the receiver will function normally. The RF wireless foot switch radiates in a 360 degrees mode of operation. However every application is different. You may need to adjust the position of the receiver or transmitter to obtain optimal performance. Tip Switch- If the footswitch is tipped 60 degrees or more or disturbed in such a way as to activate the internal tip switch the receiver’s red LED will blink for approximately 10 seconds, the footswitch will be inoperable until it is stabilized. If the footswitch is left tipped for more than 20 seconds it will power down and remain so until once again righted. Locator Function- This function is used to determine if a particulate transmitter is paired with a particular receiver. Upon tipping the transmitter the red LED on the paired receiver will blink for 10 seconds. This indicates that transmitter is paired to work with that receiver.

PRELIMINARY Electromagnetic Interference This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for EN 61000-6-2 (2001), Immunity for industrial environments. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a typical industrial installation. However, because of the proliferation of radio-frequency transmitting equipment and other sources of electrical noise in the industrial environments it is possible that high levels of such interference due to close proximity or strength of a source, may result in disruption of performance of this device. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference with other devices in the vicinity. Disruption or interference may be evidenced by erratic or incorrect functioning. If this occurs, the site of use should be surveyed to determine the source of this disruption, and actions taken to eliminate the source. The user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:  Turn equipment in the vicinity off and on to isolate the offending equipment.  Reorient or relocate the other receiving device.  Increase the separation between the interfering equipment and this equipment.  If assistance is required, contact your Linemaster Switch Representative.

PRELIMINARY Channel/Coding The RF foot switch has multiple channel capabilities. This allows multiple switches to be used in the same area simultaneously even if they are on the same channel. The channel is identified in the serial number of the units. See example below. The channel also appears on a label on top of the units. These two digits designate pairing of two transmitters to one receiver Alpha digit designates transmitter or receiver Last alpha digit designates channel XXXXXXXX T001 In addition to the channels each manufacturer has its own code encryption. This assures that different manufacturers with the same channel marking can be used in the same area simultaneously with no interference. The manufacturer’s code is embedded into the model number as shown below. It also appears on a label on the top of the units. SP-831-XXX XXXXXX These three digits denote the manufacturer’s code. XXX XXX/XXX Example A Example B Unit label: The first two or three digits denote the manufacturer code, the last two digits are the channel. If label on the receiver looks like example B, it means that the receiver is paired to two transmitters. Manual P/N RF Industrial Rev 005 9 of 17
