Transmitter components and description

Safety case

1. When turning safety switch from ON to OFF, the remote control stops actions, shuts off the OFF signal and has no response to the keys.
2. The mushroom emergency stop switch is OFF when being pressed and ON when being rotated clockwise and released.
3. In emergency case or when finishing operation, the operator shall turn off the safety switch.

Address code and wireless channel

1. Transmitter and receiver with same address code and wireless channel constitute a remote control system WCT-K4 (32-bit address code). Machines shall be used together because the address codes are different when leaving factory.
2. Before installation and use, confirm the address code and wireless channel of transmitter and receiver are consistent and ensure there is no equipment with same address code and wireless channel in workplace.
3. A control system for one-transmitter and multiple-receiver/multiple-transmitter and one-receiver/multiple-transmitter and receiver can be constituted by setting the address code and wireless channel of transmitter and receiver.

Note: The address code and wireless channel are marked on the nameplate of transmitter and receiver.

Transmitter battery

1. Transmitter is powered by 2 AA (5#) alkaline batteries, but rechargeable battery is not recommended. Battery box cover is arranged at the bottom of transmitter and fixed with 1 screw.
2. After pressing keys, if the signal indicator is normally-on in red, the battery would be undervoltage and should be changed. 3. After installing a new battery, the continuous working time of equipment depends on the battery type and operation frequency. Generally, a high-performance battery can be used for 3-6 months, while the low-performance battery could only be used for 1 month or shorter.
3. To ensure long and continuous operation, high-performance alkaline battery is recommended.

Receiver connection

Generally, the power supply of receiver is AC36V or AC380V (or other types specified by users). During connection, please refer to the power specification marked on receiver. Connection of receiver is shown as the table below:
