The Communicator is a wireless communicating device that makes it easy to direct truck or tractor drivers into position for efficient non-spill loading on the go. Placed in the harvester cab, beside your other controls, the transmitter works off a small finger operated joystick, which the harvester operator uses to guide the driver. Activating the joystick sends a signal to the receiver which then turns on LED's indicating directional arrows corresponding to the joystick direction. In addition to the directional arrows, there's also a stop and go function. All the signals are accompanied by a unique beep sequence for audio alertness. After mounting the transmitter it can be programmed so that the joystick's forward activation is correct for direction of travel. COPYRIGHT 2005 Installation Manual Page 3 Operators Manual Installation Manual Page 4 Operators Manual Model 201 Model 201 Version 1.0 Mounting the Transmitter Mount the transmitter at a convenient location so as to give the operator easy access to the joystick and switches. Plug the power cable into a 12vdc lighter adapter. If no lighter adapter is available cut the adapter off and connect directly to a 12vdc power source. The RED wire is positive(+) and the BLACK wire is ground(-). Version 1.0 Programming the Mounting Direction To program the mounting direction, press and hold the JOYSTICK in the forward direction of travel while turning on the power switch.
