TOGGLE STYLE CONTROLLER
SECTION 1
PRODUCT DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS
INTRODUCTION - Designed specifically for rough
heavy duty applications, the T01 toggle style radio remote
controller is ideal for steel mill, steel service center and
other severe industrial applications. Its functional
operation is customized to duplicate the operating
characteristics of the controls most commonly found in
crane and locomotive cabs. Therefore the change from
manual to radio control is easily learned by operators.
This controller has a sophisticated electronics circuit
board using micro-computer digital circuitry. It is
protected by a sturdy thick-walled, anodized aluminum
housing with specially designed tough rubber endcaps.
Extensive use of seals and gaskets provides all weather
protection for the electronics circuit board which uses
industrial rated digital components, a powerful micro-
computer and flexible operating software code.

Some significant performance and safety features:
POWER ON SELF TEST DIAGNOSTICS - When the
operator first turns the power switch on, a sophisticated
self-test routine tests the microcomputer and input
integrated circuits to detect a failure. Any optional paddle
style switches are tested for neutral at this time. A small
speaker beeps twice when the test is complete & all is
okay.

FAILURE MESSAGE - If a motion function switch
circuitry failure occurs, it is recognized as a problem and
“locked out” from any further input. A special message is
sent to the receiver/decoder to advise maintenance
personnel of the problem. The message is both displayed
and stored in the datalog of the Cattron 864 decoder.

TOGGLE SWITCH PLACEMENT - Each layout is
customized according to user needs. The levers are
placed far enough apart to accommodate operators who
wear heavy gloves.

TRANSMIT/BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR - The
low battery detection circuit is a two stage design. With a
good battery, this indicating light flashes green for each
burst of transmitted data. If the battery voltage drops
below the normal level, this LED flashes red during each
transmission. A beeping sound every 10 seconds alerts
the operator. When this happens, the battery has
approximately one hour of operating time remaining. The
controller stops transmitting before the voltage drops so
low that erratic operation could occur. An optional
charging jack allows battery recharging without battery
removal.

BATTERY OPTIONS - AA alkaline batteries, alkaline
packs, NICAD and mercury batteries are available.
Whether you choose rechargeable or disposable batteries,
changing the battery is easy - simply open the gasketed
battery cover, drop the battery in place and close the cover.
There are no wires or connectors to insert into the battery,
which improves long-term reliability of this unit.

SAFETY BAR - A full length safety bar is provided to
function as an enable device to all motion switches. It is a
large full-length switch that is easily and naturally activated
by the thumb or palm of the operator's hand any time he
places his hand into position to move the motion switches.
This push-to-operate (PTO) safety bar electronically
disconnects all motion switches when it is released, thus
stopping motion commands from' these switches. This
feature is programmable. Certain applications may have
some switches removed from control of the PTO bar. An
example of this is the brake function of a locomotive.

RUGGED HOUSING - The housing that surrounds and
protects the electronic circuitry is a thick-walled extruded
aluminum, which has a hard anodized exterior. The ends of
the housing are rubber coated plates that make shock
absorbing end 'bumpers" which shield the toggle switches.

DURABLE/OUTDOOR OPERATION - The toggle
switches are extremely long lived units that are sealed,
providing water and dust protection. All modules and sub-
components are gasketed, making this unit suitable for
outdoor operation in rain and snow.

ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY STOP - An optional tilt
switch is available with this model. If the controller is tilted
in any axis beyond 451 of upright for longer than the
programmed time (typically 5 seconds), a programmable
function is sent automatically. This function can be
assigned in the decoder to stop the equipment, sound an
alarm, or both. Reset time is also programmable.

FREQUENCY OF OPERATION - The RF transmitter built
in this model allows operation in the 450-470 MHz band on
licensed radio channels. All models in the 450-470 MHz
range are synthesized (16 frequency max).
