Electronic Deadman Control

The electronic deadman control shall prevent an unintentional use of a joystick, which can cause unwanted movement of cranes or machines.

The operator has to release the joystick by putting it back to the neutral position before giving the ultimate command. Without this release the joystick will not react and no commands will be conveyed from transmitter to receiver.

After the release, the joystick remains active until it returns to the neutral position and remains there for set amount of time. The active/inactive status of the joystick is indicated by a LED on the transmitter.

This feature can be set for a drive, a joystick or even two joysticks.

Changing the RF-Channel

In order to ensure interference-free operation of a radio control system it may be necessary to change the RF-channel locally.

Changing the RF-channel can become necessary due to interference or the fact that a specific RF-channel is already in use. A change of channel can be performed either by reprogramming the TransKey or by reprogramming the transmitter. Reprogramming of the transmitter is performed using the transmitter keypad and requires no additional equipment.
