for Planar-B, Planar-C
and Planar-D
When a transmitter is operated with AA Mignon 1,2 V NiMH rechargeable batteries, these
batteries automatically charge inside the transmitter in the optional base unit. To start the
charging process simply slide the transmitter into base unit (see image 1). An automati-
cally controlled charging process keeps batteries from over-charging. Base unit has to be
connected to a power supply(optional also with dc-charger) – (see image 2).
WARNING: Never try to charge regular AA batteries (non-rechargeable
batteries) – danger of explosion!
WARNING: Charge 8 hours (2000 mA/h) after total discharge of batteries or
before first use.

RIGHT
The receiver is connected to the unit to be controlled with the multi-pin connecting
cable supplied. Please observe the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the unit
to be controlled!
The power supply of the receiver is generally effected by the connecting cable.
We recommend urgently to realize this connection via a central, well
accessible, multi-pin plug connector (for example HTS-plug connector series
HE/HB/HN/HA or comparable ones of other manufacturers) to make possible a quick
and clear fault diagnosis in the service case and to take off the receiver without an
expenditure of assembly.
In general, an earth lead is required in case the units to be controlled have not pre-
viously been operated by radio control. Failing this, the
receiver electronic circuit will not receive any power supply. Ensure that the opera-
ting voltage of the receivercomplieswiththeelectricalspecificationsof
the unit to be controlled. The applicable operating voltage is specified in the supp-
lement.
Never expose the receiver to a high pressure cleaning jet. This applies to the
transmitter also.
The receiver should always be fixed vertically at the outside panel of the swit-
ching cabinet. (The antenna should always reach over the top of the panel.)
You have to make sure that the antenna is not shielded by metal parts totally or part-
ly.
Mounting the receiver in a cabine or in a switching cabinet the antenna should be
layed with an extension cable to the outside and be attached with the fastening
strapping as horizontally as possible with distance to the shielding metal parts.
In general the antenna should always be mounted in such a way so that the antenna
is still visible with each change of position of the transmitter.

Safety equipment in the NBB-radio remote control:
In the transmitter
In the receiver:
If the NBB radio remote control is not used for a long period, it is urgently recommended -
if you use rechargeable batteries - that they should be charged now and again (about
every 4 weeks). This prevents deep discharges of the batteries and prolongs their useful
life. If you shut down the NBB radio remote control for a long period, we recommend you
take the batteries out of the transmitter.
Frequency change Planar-B, -C, -D:
Channel number:
,thiscomprisesmainly:
STOP (transmitter ON/OFF) with automatic disconnection of the power supply.
Automatic zero positioning.
Automatic zero setting when switching back on after radio interruption.
Locking of the radio commands at relay level in the event of a defective STOP circuit.
To ensure fault-free operation, please follow precisely the following rules for operation:
The unit to be controlled can only be switched on - it is assumed that the transmitter is
ready to operate - when no command unit is actuated. The command necessary to do so
is triggered by the key "ON/HORN". This triggers a horn signal in the unit to be controlled.
After switch-on of the facility to be controlled, this key is used for repeated emission of the
horn signal in accordance with working regulations.
To change the frequency, keep the "ON/HORN" key pressed down. T h e n o p e r a t e t h e
"CHANNEL / FREQUENCY CHANGE" key. If the receiver locks into the new frequency, a
horn signal is given (if present) and the unit to be controlled is ready for operation. Please
observe the particular postal approval regulations of the concerned country.
When changing the frequency the channel number lights up shortly in
the display: First the decimal place, then the digit.
During operation the choosen channel can be shown by pressing the “CHANNEL / FRE-
QUENCY CHANGE” key.

6. FUNCTION CHECK To maintain operational safety, a regular function check of the NBB radio remote control is
necessary. In single-shift day-to-day operation, we recommend performing this check at
least once a week. Checking is possible using the display lights provided on the receiver.
To do so, the transmitter must be set to the ready-to-operate state.
First connect just the receiver - the transmitter remains switched off.
Activate the transmitter by pressing the key "START/ON/HORN" at the Planar
transmitter.
Now check the commands (always start with the lowest stage) and check for
correct reaction oftheunittobecontrolled.
Ensure in particular that there is nobody in the danger area.

If the power lead is OK, call in the after-sales service.
HF PRESENT. Steady light when transmitter is switched on
(insignificant for scanner operation).
Flashes evenly during fault-free operation.
Irregular flashing means that the HF channel is probably at
fault - please set another channel.
If this LED flashes, the HF channel is at fault (not for scanner
operation).
Steady light notifies the operator that an output function
is critical due to high current.
