4/53 IMET - M550 ALL1-EN
INTRODUCTION
The M550 family is the result of IMET’s many years’ experience in the production of radio remote
controls. IMET radio remote controls are advanced instruments designed and built using state-of-the-
art technology.
IMET M550 radio remote controls are available in a large number of versions for any application. They
are easy to install and they become an integral part of any machine that can be operated by remote
control.
IMET radio remote controls come in many
versions: simple units with single transmission
and digital controls (ON/OFF), or more complex
units with digital/analog controls, CAN-bus and
dual transmission (data-feedback option).
The practical, ergonomic control panel lets you
manage all machine functions and perform the
most difficult operations from a safe position.
The units are easily identified by the ID code
printed on the nameplate affixed to every unit.
The meaning of the ID codes is shown in the
tables on pages 5 and 6.
The casings are made of shockproof plastic to
guarantee complete functionality even in the
toughest operation conditions.
M550 portable transmitters are equipped with a
removable, rechargeable sealed battery,
ensuring continuous operation over long work
shifts even in extreme environmental conditions.
The frequency synthesis radio section (PLL) lets
you change the frequency of the transmission
channel directly on the control panel.
Continuous, encoded radio transmission is used:
the receivers are designed to recognize control
signals coming from transmitters having the
same ID code. Signals coming from other
transmitters are ignored. . In the presence of
interference, bad reception or interruption of the
radio signal, the receiver automatically puts itself
in stop status, that involves opening the E-STOP
circuit (clause 9.2.7.3 EN 60204-32).
Every radio remote control is designed and built in conformity with the European Directives and with
the relevant standards and can be used to set up a wireless control station complying with the strictest
safety requirements.
