RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM MANUAL FOR LOUIS A. GRANT’S GOM-360BDRE MACHINE (Version 2.0) USER’S REFERENCE FOR THE G.0.M. RADIO CONTROL SYSTEM Sategg Precautions and Conditions Any operator of industrial mobile equipment needs to be aware of the inherent dangers associated with the operation of that equipment. Any number of single point failures in the control mechanisms associated with mobile equipment could cause erratic movement of the machine Typical radio control systems for hydraulic mobile equipment utilize a hand held transmitter device with switches remotely driving a receiver with relay switches wired to electrically driven solenoid hydraulic valves driving cylinders and motors, etc. thereby allowing operation of the various functions of the machine Each of the devices in this chain of control has a life expectancy and can and has failed to operate and/or react erratically We have provided all of the safety features available With today’s technology to avoid erratic and/or non-response situations in our radio transmitters and receivers. This does not eliminate the possibility of a failure in hardware Any operator needs to be aware of the safety concerns and operate the machinery accordingly In essence this means he must keep his body out of the way of potential harm from erratic movements, maintain distance from moving, swinging and tramming devices Machine Stop devices are available for the operator to shut down the machine, the operator should be aware of and know the location of these devices as well as be aware of the time it takes for these devices to react This time factor will help determine the safe operating distance he needs to maintain from any moving part, The advantage of a radio remote operating system is to allow the operator to maintain a safe operating distance without being tied to the machine by tether and/or hand controls This distinct feature should be taken advantage of and utilized making the overall machine a safer piece of equipment to operate, Please recognize this capability and utilize it to its full potential Introduction The following is a brief description of the radio control system for the (3.0 M. 360 line of machines The radio system will consist of a transmitter, receiver and a remote antenna The radio system was designed to be a direct replacement for the current umbilical system and operates on the same basis, but there are some differences Please read the following for transmitter operation, receiver operation and diagnostics. Also there are drawings of both to pick out areas of discussion Transmitter In armatian The transmitter is a hand-held controller approximately 9"H x 4 25"W x TD in size and, weighs about 3 pounds The enclosure is built to aNEMA 4 standard, which states the unit can with stand water splashes, but the unit can not be submerged in water The transmitter is made out ofPVC plastic. This plastic is used for three reasons It is strong, light. and it has good RF characteristics. Please keep metal away from the transmitter Metal Wlll shield the RF signal and cause poor reception The transmitter was designed to be a replica of the current umbilical controller You will notice that the rocker levers on the front of the unit match the same functions on the umbilical unit The controller was lengthened to include buttons for future use There were some changes made to the bottom row of switches on the front cover A throttle increase button and decrease button was included to replace the IDLE HI/LO button To increase the machine idle press and hold the THROTTLE INCREASE button until the engine reaches the desired RPM To decrease the RPM press and hold the THROTTLE DECREASE button Please note at machine startup, the receiver will automatically decrease the throttle for 2 seconds This is for safety reasons The “HAMIVIER ON/OFF” switch remains in the same position as the old controller One push activates the function, to deactivate the function push the button again When the hammer is on, the yellow led at the top lefi of the transmitter will light up When the hammer is turned offi the yellow led will go out On top ofthe transmitter are three toggle switches and one pushbutton The second toggle switch in from the lefi side, and the pushbutton start the entire system. To power up the machine and transmitter the following sequences of events must happen The “TX POWER” toggle must be switched from the off position to the on position Next the start button is pushed. This button will start the machine's engine Please note that when the green button is pushed, no other buttons can be activated For example, if an operator has the “TILT” toggle in the “CW” position, the radio system will not let the machine start For safety the machine will only stan when no commands are operated. This also allows the radio system to scan for swttches that are broke If a button is stuck on, the machine will not start Switch the TX POWER switch to the off position to remove power from the transmitter The receiver will then shut the fuel solenoid elf to the engine The receiver will go into a scan mode looking for any transmitters that has an address that matches the receiver’s address. Located on the top of the transmitter are three LED‘s When the transmitter is held in the operation position, the first LED to the lefi is the “HAMMER ON” led (yellow color) This LED lights when the "HAMMER 0 ” operation has been activated The middle LED (colored green) is used to indicated when any switches have been activated This LED indicates a number of different operations. The green LED lights when any switch has been operated For example if you push “TILT CW", the green LED will light until the function is released. This light will also let the operator know when a button is stuck For example, at starlupt if there is a stuck button the green LED will light when the operator pushes the “START“ pushbutton. During operation ifthe green LED stays solid afier a function has been released, immediately swrtch the “TX POWE ” toggle switch to the off position Try to restart the transmitter afler power down The transmitter needs repaired irthe green LED comes on when the green pushbutton is pressed during the start up ofthe machine The third LED (red) shows the operator battery status when the transmitter has fresh batteries the LED will be off The LED will blink when the batteries need changed Please note that the transmitter starts monitoring battery life about ten minutes afier the transmitter is staned A dead battery will start the transmitter, but as soon as the battery monitoring starts. the transmitter will shut down This scenario will make an operator think there is problem with the machine, or radio system, but the batteries need changed. The batteries are two 9V batteries located under a protective cover at the bottom of the transmitter Change both batteries at the same time. A bad battery will drain power from a good battery when put together Two new alkaline batteries will provide an estimated so hours ofcontinuous operation Two toggle switches are located on the outer edges ofthe top plate These toggle switches have a shorter handle than typical toggle switches Please note the difference between their height and the “TX POWE " toggle switch These switches perform the same function as on the umbilical The lefi toggle controls the “STICK” up and down functions, and the right controls the "TILT" clockwise (CW), and counter-clockwise (CCW) functions On the front of the transmitter under the rocker switch assembly is a selector switch This switch was provided to select different operating channels or frequencies The selector switch has eight different channels labeled 1 to 3 If a radio system seems slow, there is a good chance the radio system is seeing some interference The operator then would select a different channel to operate the radio system on Please remember the transmitter and the receiver channel selection must match If the transmitter is set to channel 3, then the receiver must be set to channel 3 Please the attached drawings for more information about setting the channel Receiver I nlnrmation The receiver was designed to be especially useful for the operator of the system The receiver enclosure is approx 17.“L x S”W x Z”H in Size, and weighs about Slbs The shell is made of a mgged extruded aluminum shell At one end of the unit is a twenty four position connector This connects to the machine’ s solenoid block where the umbilical controller now connects The receiver is connected Via a cable to that block At the other end of the receiver is a blank cover Located on the top of the receiver is a cluster ofvisihle LED diagnostics for operator feed back At the end closest to the connector are the machine functions You will notice that there is a single row ofLED‘s next to each function when the green LED is lit under the label “OK" the function is being operated Ifthe green LED does not light, a fuse has tripped insnle the receiver unit There is short between the receiver and the solenoid The short circuit must be Corrected for the function to work The internal fuse takes about 5 minutes to reset The fuse is thermal sensitive The green LED should light afler the shon circuit has been corrected and adequate time was given for the fiise to reset All 24 ninctlons are fused the same way At the other end of the receiver is a bar graph along with six LED’s labeled 1 through 6 The bar graph indicates signal strength When the bar graph is fillly illuminated (all 10 segments) the RF signal is strong The signal is weak when one segment is lit and it is recommended to first check the antenna, and the cable that runs from the receiver to the antenna. If damaged, the antenna or cable must be replaced If those two pieces are OK, then try the system with another transmitter The current transmitter could be putting out a low signal The transmitter should be sent back for adjustments The next six LED’s perform a more detailed check between the receiver and transmitter The following occurs when the labeled LED lights LED 1- TX ON LINE- Solid ON for transmitter recognized, OFF for no transmitter recognized Receiver has chull‘ed a transmitter and control has been awarded to that one unique transmitter Continuous messages are required to keep the fuel solenoid energized If a message is lost for one second, the system will reset all outputs except the fuel solenoid Afier two seconds all outputs are reset, the engine will stop, and the receiver will enter a search for transmitter mode LED 2- MID MESSAGE DETECTv This LED flashes on receipt ofvalid messages when LED 1 is ON. A message contains the commands sent by the transmitter A valid command will consist of two identical messages sent by the transmitter A transmitter needs to be on—line (i e LED #1 is on) This LED also serves as a system watchdog The watchdog has a slow flash when no transmitters are on or recognized (LED 1 OFF) This LED lets the operator know that receiver’s intemal processor is operating and scanning for available transmitters (in watchdog mode LED l will be off) LED 3 - 2 SECOND DATA LOSS- There is a lapse ofvalid data for more than 2 seconds The receiver will clear all outputs, including the fuel solenoid LED 16 will come on {or 1 second indicating a total system shut down After this one second period the receiver will re-enter the search mode (for a transmitter) LED 4 - CONE/(ANDED POWER DOWN - The operator powers down the transmitter LED 4 stays on for approx 1 second then the receiver goes into a search Mode (LED 6 comes on). LED 5- ADDRESS CONFLICT ERROR » More than one transmitter is on and set to the same address codes The receiver will refuse all commands until it sees one transmitter sending messages. LED 6- M SECOND DATA LOSS - When a transmitter is en-hne, (LED 1 is on) then this LED indicates there has been a one second lapse in valid messages from the transmitter All momentary nulputs are cleared until the next valid message is detected Latched functions (fuel solenoid) are not affected Normal operation will resume when a valid message is detected, unless the total time frame reaches 2 seconds See LED if} for further details ifthere is no transmitter on-line, LED is] is off This LED indicates that the receiver is aware of a transmitter, but it is refusing to accept it’s signal because of a command being on (transmitter) For safety reasons all commands must be elf at the transmitter before the receiver will award control to a transmitter For example, if the operator walks out of range with the transmitters a two second data loss will occur If the hammer (latched command) was on, the receiver will not re-recngnize the transmitter when the operator comes back into ranges due to the hammer being on In this case, LED an will be blinking slowly and LED we will be on The operator will need to turn otfthe hammer function on the transmitter in order for the receiver to accept the signal Above the antenna on the receiver is a selector switch for operating channels This switch was provided to select difierent operating channels or frequencies. The selector switch has eight different channels labeled 1 to B. If a radio system seems slow, there is a good chance the radio system is seeing some interference The operator then would select a different channel to operate the radio system on Please remember the transmitter and the receiver channel selection must match. If the transmitter is set to channel 3, then the receiver must be set to channel 3 The relationship between the channel number and frequency are listed in the channel selection part ofthis manual Transmitter and Receiver Pairing The first prototype systems used a serial number system having a three digit code for matching components. This serial number would match the machine's serial number With the radio system The latest systems have the receiver and transmitter matched by internal sofiware Each transmitter is specifically matched to a receiver For example transmitter number 102, will only work with receiver number 102 No other transmitter will work with receiver number 102 It'the transmitter or receiver malfunctions (electronically), both units will need returned for servicing If a transmitter toggle switch breaks, the unit does not need to be retumedv The top plate assembly Will be replaced with a new assembly, The old assembly will be returned for repair The transmitter and receiver will need to be returned when there is a RF problem, or a sefiware problem General repairs can be done in the field The only items that need to be matched are the channel settings! Channel Selection On the front of the transmitter under the rocker switch assembly, and above the antenna on the receiver is a selector switch This switch was provided to select different operating channels or frequencies. The selector switch has eight different channels labeled 1 to 8 If a radio system seems slow, there is a good chance the radio system is seeing some interference, The operator then would select a dilTerent channel to operate the radio system on. Please remember the transmitter and the receiver channel selection must match| If the transmitter is set to channel 3, then the receiver must be set to channel 3 The relationship between the channel number and frequency are listed in the channel selection part of this manual. The following list will show the operator what frequency each channel represents. Please the attached drawings for more information. Channel Frequency 903.3Mhz 906.3Mhz 907 .8Mhz 909.3Mhz 9l2.3Mhz 915.3Mhz 919.8Mhz 921 .3Mhz OOxlcthbWN~ Drawing Listing The drawings of the receiver and transmitter will illustrate the areas discussed above Please read over and understand the system.
