ON/OFF and function changing functions.
ON/OFF switches can be used to manoeuvre electrical, hydraulic or pneumatic ON/OFF
functions. Examples of functions :
· Stopping and starting of the vehicle's motor, throttle lever, beep / signal, change-over
valves, function changing for ex. 9th and 10th function.
· Enable parallel running of two or more valves at the same time from one manoeuvre lever.
· Connection of so called hold function, i.e. "lock" a function at a specific speed, after
which the speed is kept constant without the lever having to be held ( for example
hydraulically driven drills ) etc. This can be compared to the speed control in a private car.
Make sure that you always know which functions are connected for ON/OFF manoeuvring.
Alternative: One switch can be used to designate that levers will give either proportional or ON/OFF functions
( function changing ).
3. CABLE FOR CABLE CONTROL ( electrical 3-core ).
The control unit is connected to the electronicbox via a thin and flexible 3-core cable. The
cable has round contacts (Amphenol / Hirchmann) at each end.
The cable feeds the digital coded control information from the control unit to the electronic
box. The cable is available in standard lengths of 10 , 15 , 25 , 50 and 100 metres.
With cable control, the standard cable length supplied is 15 metres .
A 10 metre control cable is supplied with opto or radio control, for emergency operation.
