Line of Site Remote Controls

     
     

Proportional:

The items listed below as proportional are operated by the
Transmitters joysticks. The joysticks allow the machines
functions to be proportionally operated.

• Steering/Declutch - Left/Right
• Throttle - Forward/Reverse
• Blade - Raise, Lower tilt LHS, tilt RHS, Pitch out, Pitch in (if Pitch lifted)
• Ripper - Raised, Lower In, Out

   
      Non-Proportional:

The item's listed below a non proportional are operated
by the Transmitters switches and some joystick positions.
The switches allow the machine functions to be turned
on and off as required. The joysticks cause the machine
functions to be selected as required.
• Engine - Start/Stop EUI energised to run engine)
• Lights - Front/Rear
• Brake - Park Brake, Service Brake
• Gears - Forward 1st gear Reverse 1st and 2nd
• Decelerator
• Hom
• AFFF Fire extinguisher activation (if AFFF system fitted). When a machine fire situation occurs the onboard fire extinguisher (AFFF) system can be activated by the remote control Transmitter. When the Transmitters fire switch is operated the system causes the onboard AFFF system to discharge and the engine is automatically shut down.
• Pre start alann. When the machine is started on remote control, the machines horn will sound for 3 seconds before the starter motor will crank the engine.
   
 

Dozer Remote Control System

     
      Feed BackMonitoringFunctions:

• Engine monitoring - level 2, level 3 wamings. When the level 2 and/or level 3 monitoring alarm operates in the machine this also registers a fault at the Transmitter. The Transmitter's alert LED's will flash and the operator is able to read the fault (check engine or stop engine) on the Transmitter's display.

Safety Isolators:

• Remote/manual dash mounted switch, allows the operator to select between remote or manual operation whilst In the cabin
• Starter motor isolator is used to safely perform maintenance tasks. This isolator allows work to be performed on the machine with the battery power on and protects personnel from the engine being accidentally cranked and started.
   
     

Advantages:


•Prevents repetitive stress injuries.
• Maximises machine utilisation
• Greater overall operator vision
• Improved ergonomic working environment for the operator
• Less idle time between production cycles
• Reduce the risk ofslip injuries getting on/off machine
• More control ofcritical machine tolerances
• Hazardous machine tasks can be completed safely

   
      Dozer Applications:

• Caterpillar D5N, D8T, D9H, D10, D10N, D1OR (series 1&2), D11N, D11 RSeries (1,2,3)
• Komastu D475, 575A, D575A-3 & D275AX
