Safety package (optional)

The system can optionally be fitted with a Safety Package. The black rubber protective sleeve and the red stop button at the top of the transmitter indicate that a system has been fitted with this option.

Stop button and black rubber protective sleeve
The red stop button at the top of the hand-held transmitter is intended to stop the operation as quickly as possible in case of an
emergency.
Out of range protection
If the transmitter goes out of range of the receiver, the receiver can no longer react to the transmitter’s commands. When the transmitter goes out of range, the receiver will switch off automatically to avoid dangerous situations. If the transmitter’s battery is empty, the receiver will also switch off automatically. When the transmitter is activated within the range of the receiver the receiver will restart. The status LED will light-up red for a few seconds.

Resolving problems

If the system is not working properly, check the following points:

The receiver does not react when you give a command on the transmitter:

The receiver does not have any power.| Check that the receiver is connected correctly and/or the fuse is intact. *Note not all receivers have an removable fuse.
You are out of range of the receiver.| Make sure you are within range of the receiver and there are no large (metal) objects between you and the receiver or antenna of the receiver.
The transmitter is not programmed to the receiver.| Follow the steps in section “Programming (an additional or new) transmitter to the receiver” to program the transmitter to the receiver again.
Frequency overlap| If you use multiple wireless (Tyro) systems in 1 room or within a radius of 200 meters (219 yards), check that no frequencies overlap, the frequency of Tyro systems can be checked on the sticker attached to both the transmitter and the receiver.

If you use multiple Tyro systems, please contact Tyro Remotes to check if the frequency need to be adjusted.

Button blocking| Multiple buttons may be pressed simultaneously. This may cause certain functions not to be activated or blocked.
The receiver does not react when you give a command on the transmitter:

The receiver does not have any power.| Check that the receiver is connected correctly and/or the fuse is intact. *Note not all receivers have an removable fuse.
You are out of range of the receiver.| Make sure you are within range of the receiver and there are no large (metal) objects between you and the receiver or antenna of the receiver.
The transmitter is not programmed to the receiver.| Follow the steps in section “Programming (an additional or new) transmitter to the receiver” to program the transmitter to the receiver again.
Frequency overlap| If you use multiple wireless (Tyro) systems in 1 room or within a radius of 200 meters (219 yards), check that no frequencies overlap, the frequency of Tyro systems can be checked on the sticker attached to both the transmitter and the receiver.

If you use multiple Tyro systems, please contact Tyro Remotes to check if the frequency need to be adjusted.

Button blocking| Multiple buttons may be pressed simultaneously. This may cause certain functions not to be activated or blocked.

Range

The maximum range indicated is based on a measurement with the line of sight without interference. The indicated range cannot be guaranteed because it is always subjective to variable environmental factors. In particular deflection, reflection and shadows can decrease the maximum range.

Objects present in between the transmitter and the receiver, in particular metals, reinforced concrete or absorbing objects like trees or snow, have an unpredictable influence on the maximum range. In general the optimal range can be achieved when there is a line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. Please also see www.tyroremotes.com/tyropedia for more information about range.

Frequencies
Check if there are no other wireless devices that operate on the same frequency as that will have a negative impact on the performance and the range of the system.

Pairing (an additional or new) transmitter to the receiver

Please note: all systems have already been programmed at the factory!
You can skip this part unless you wish to program an additional or replacement hand-held transmitter to the receiver!

If you wish to program an additional or replacement hand-held transmitter to the receiver, take the following steps:

Put the hand-held transmitter in ‘pairing mode’

Step| Description
1| Turn the transmitter off using the “OFF” button.
2| Press and hold the transmitter ON and OFF buttons simultaneously until the system boots up. The menu LEDs indicate that the “learning mode” is active. (These fill from left to right)
3| The screen shows the progress of the learning process. At 100%, the system automatically switches to “normal mode.
4| If no receiver is found, the system returns to “normal mode” after 60 seconds. Previously paired receivers remain active. In a standard configuration, 8 handheld transmitters can be paired per receiver. Each additional handheld transmitter overwrites the first paired handheld transmitter.
Put the receiver in ‘pairing mode’

Step| Description
1| Locate the pairing button on the receiver. Depending on the model of transmitter there are two types of ‘paring buttons’.
2| Models: Aquarius, Hydrus, Scorpius| Models: Auriga, Pavo, Aquila, Norma, Virgo
Black programming button on the bottom.| White programming button on the PCB
| | Open the casing by loosen the screws. You will see 2 circuit- boards: one on top of the other. Locate the white button.
$Pairing $an additional or new$ transmitter to the receiver$ | $Pairing $an additional or new$ transmitter to the receiver$
3| Press and hold the programming button for 1 second.
4| When both transmitter and receiver are in pairing mode they should find each other to make pairing successful.
5| Check the functionality by pressing a button, if the status LED on the receiver blinks green or yellow (± 2x per second), the programming has been completed successfully.

Limitation

Multiple transmitters can be programmed. The limitation is that only one transmitter can be active at the same time. This is the transmitter that switches on the receiver. Another transmitter is ignored until the receiver is switched off and started by that other transmitter.

Maintenance

Maintenance check-list
To ensure that the system continues to function optimally during the service life, it is essential that annual maintenance is performed. Check-list below must therefore be carried out annually.
Check the system on the following points:

Visible damage to the transmitter or the receiver, if so offer to repair the set.
Make sure that the system still is connected correctly, if not repeat the control in chapter “assembly of a standard system”.
Check if the expiration date of the product is expired, if so the set should not be used anymore.
Verify system operation by verifying that the system enters a safe state when the safety inputs are disabled. If not, submit the set for repair.
