Installing the Radio Remote Control
For a robust and dependable remote control system, follow these vital recommendations. Entrust the installation of the remote
control to skilled professionals exclusively. It's crucial to meticulously adhere to all safety instructions outlined in this manual —
never overlook these essential guidelines.
Install the MCU in a strategic spot on the controlled equipment, safeguarding it and its cabling from physical harm. Securely
fasten all MCU cables, shielding them against potential mechanical damage. Utilize suitable cable insulation that aligns with the
field and environmental demands of your specific application.
In applications prone to significant mechanical shocks or continuous vibrations, it's strongly advised to incorporate rubber
dampers or mechanical shock-absorbing buffers. These installation accessories should be integral parts of your machine's
preventive maintenance routine checks. It's important to note that for sea water applications, dampers suitable for such
environments must be utilized.
Guarantee that the power cable furnishes the MCU with a reliable and regulated voltage. Although the MCU possesses inherent
protection against supply line irregularities, it's advantageous to proactively mitigate the risk of excess supply transients. Install
surge protectors on the ground lines wherever feasible, particularly for applications operating at significant altitudes above ground
level.
Steer clear of installing the MCU or its antenna in close proximity to high-power frequency inverters. It's imperative to guarantee
that these inverters are properly grounded using earthing cable with a cross-section recommended by the manufacturer. This
precautionary measure helps mitigate potential interference and ensures optimal performance of the MCU.
Position the MCU antenna to ensure constant line-of-sight visibility of the OCU, ensuring optimal performance at all times. This
strategic placement facilitates seamless communication between the OCU and the MCU, enhancing overall system efficiency.
Steer clear of installing the antenna inside cabins, in locations with metal shielding or where its radiating element cuts through
metal surfaces. Ensure the radiating element remains unobstructed at all times to optimize control range and performance. By
maintaining clear visibility and avoiding interference from metal obstructions, you can ensure the best possible performance of
your remote control system.
In certain applications, antenna cable extensions may be necessary to enable optimal antenna placement. It's essential to
minimize the length of the antenna extension cable whenever feasible. Avoid excessive lengths of antenna extension cable, and
under no circumstances should it be coiled up. Opting for the shortest possible extension length ensures optimal signal
transmission and minimizes the risk of interference or signal loss.
