Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Tyro Remotes declares that the radio equipment types Musca 2S and Aquarius 2S are in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU Declaration of Conformity can be found at www.tyroremotes.co.uk

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

To assure continued compliance, any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. (Example – use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices).

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons and must not be co- located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Warning: risk of injury or damage!
To avoid dangerous situations, please observe the following rules:
In case of changes, doubts about the rules or if something is unclear, please contact Tyro Remotes.

3. Description of a Musca 2S transmitter

1. Transmission indicator (green LED)

• LED flashes for each signal transmitted.

2. Battery indicator (red LED)

• This LED flashes when the battery is almost empty.
• If a function key is active while switching on the transmitter, this LED flashes as an indication.

3. Function keys

• These keys control the functions of the system.
• Can be executed as pulse or latching (key hold-down function). Function keys that have no function can be set inactive at the factory and can be locked mechanically.
• Function keys lit up automatically when it is dark.

4. ON/START-button

• Press down for 2 seconds, to activate the transmitter and the receiver.

5. OFF/STOP-button

• Immediately switches off the transmitter and the receiver.

6. Buzzer

• Beeps briefly with each key operation.
• Warns when the function key is pressed when the transmitter is switched on.

Transmitter backside

1. Battery casing

• Loosen the screws on the back of the transmitter and carefully open the casing.
• Replace the battery and close the casing.

2. System identification

• The system can be identified using the sticker on the back of your transmitter. The type of system is stated on the sticker next to the word ‘ Type ‘. The serial number can also be found here.

4. Range Optimisation

The location of the receiver is of great influence on the maximum range, therefore, please take into account the following points in order to optimise the range of the system;

• Place several receivers at least 50 cm apart.
• Never directly place the receiver or antenna on metal objects but at least 50 cm away
• Mount the receiver or antenna approximately 3 to 4 metres above work height, higher or under work height reduces range significantly
• Place the receiver or antenna at least 50 cm away from engines or other devices that can generate a force field
• Never place the receiver with antenna in the cabin of a vehicle, a switch box, or a similar (metal) casing
• If possible try to maintain a line of sight with the receiver during operation
• Applications like axle steering or winching where the work height is equal, the aerial has to be mounted vertical Applications like hoists where the working height greatly differs, the aerial has to be mounted horizontal

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.co.uk/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.

5. Assembly of a standard system

For optimum range, place the Aquarius 2S receiver as high up as possible and away from metal objects. We advise against placing it in the cabin of a vehicle, a switch box or similar casing. After connection and assembly, the system must be tested before switching on the mains.

6. Programming (an additional or repaired) transmitter to the receiver

To delete all transmitters from the receiver’s memory, press and hold the black programming button on the receiver for more than 8 seconds until the red status LED switches off. To delete all receivers from the transmitter’s memory, press and hold buttons 1 and 2 on the transmitter while turning the transmitter on with the ON button. Wait until the red LED switches off before releasing the buttons. Please check www.tyroremotes.co.uk/support/tutorials.

6. Change of functionality

In the factory settings, the switching type of the buttons is set in the pulse mode. Before the functionality can be changed, a transmitter must first be programmed to the receiver. When a complete set is ordered, this has already been done at the factory.

As soon as the set-up mode has been activated the following settings can be changed:

Revert to standard settings
1. In or order then to send reset the the receiver unchanged to its setup to standard the receiver. settings. you need to set only the transmitter to set- up mode and skip the changes in Table
