This wireless system allows the user to control the turn signals, hazard lights, brake lights, and running lights all from a keypad unit located near the driver. Each signal is simply activated by pressing the corresponding key on the keypad. Lights on the keypad unit will indicate that a signal has been sent and received. These lights will continue to operate until a signal is sent to cancel the operation by simply pressing the same corresponding button on the keypad unit. SIGNAL LIGHT OPERATIONS: Sufficient LED lighting is used to ensure running light visibility at 150 meters on a clear night. Signal TypeResult Left Turn: Left Side, Bright, Flashing Right Turn: Right Side, Bright, Flashing Brake Lights: Left and Right Side, Bright Hazard Lights: Left and Right Side, Bright, Flashing Running Lights: Left and Right Side, Dim Bright - All LEDs on Dim - Half of the LEDs on E.T.M IndustriesUser Guide Transformix Engineering Inc.2 KEYPAD OVERVIEW: Note: The selected function will continue to operate until a signal is sent to cancel the function by simply pressing the same corresponding button. Right button: By pressing the RIGHT button on the keypad a signal is sent to the taillight unit to activate the right turning lights, a red confirmation light located above the button will let the user know that the signal was sent and received by the keypad unit. Left button: By pressing the LEFT button on the keypad a signal is sent to the taillight unit to activate the left turning lights. Brake button: By pressing the BRAKE button on the keypad a signal is sent to the taillight unit to activate the brake lights. The brake lights will continue to operate until a signal is sent to cancel the operation by simply pressing the same corresponding button. Running button: By pressing the RUNNING button on the keypad a signal is sent to the taillight unit to activate the running lights. E.T.M IndustriesUser Guide Transformix Engineering Inc.3 Hazard button: By pressing the HAZARD button on the keypad a signal is sent to the taillight unit to activate the hazard lights. Both lights above the RIGHT and the LEFT buttons will flash as a confirmation that hazard has been selected. Low battery keypad/taillight: A warning light will activate if the battery level for the keypad or the taillight drops below a certain level letting the user know that the batteries will have to be changed. E.T.M IndustriesUser Guide Transformix Engineering Inc.4 REPLACEABLE COMPONENTS: The replaceable components that make up the electrical hardware are: 1. Taillight LED board 2. Taillight Computer/Battery Module 3. Keypad unit Taillight LED board: The taillight lens module consists of a red molded lens cap, three screws and a LED circuit board. If the LED circuit board needs to be replaced, a new board can be easily installed. LED board removal To remove an LED board: 1) Remove the three lens screws from the red lens cap and then remove the lens cap. 2) Remove the two screws securing to the LED board. 3) Remove the LED board by pulling up on the LED board so that it disconnects from the connector located just underneath the board. LED board replacement To replace an LED board: 1) Take the new replacement LED board and by pushing down fit the board into the connector insuring that the connector is in the correct position. 2) Reinstall the two LED board screws. 3) Then place the red lens cap back over the main housing and rein…

Technical Description of Unit DESCRIPTION: The Farm Alert’s function is to provide the farmer with a wireless lighting system for use on agricultural implements. The Farm Alert system consists of two separate units, the keypad unit, and the taillight unit. The keypad unit sends RF signals to the taillight unit and the taillight unit in turn sends a signal back as a confirmation that the signal was received. Pressing a selected button on the keypad unit will activate each signal. Lights on the keypad unit will indicate that a function has been sent and received. The signal lights on the taillight unit will continue to operate until the function is canceled by selecting the same corresponding button. The keypad unit can operate up to 100 feet away from the taillight unit. The Farm Alert system is powered by 4 standard “D” size and one 9V batteries that are easily obtained at any convenience store. The battery life is approximately 200 hours of normal operation at 25° C with alkaline batteries. There are two low battery warning light’s located on the keypad unit that will indicate a low battery condition for both the keypad unit and the taillight unit. Each unit is designed to withstand a temperature range between -20° C and +50° C. The keypad unit and the taillight units are both designed to withstand impact and vibration loading and to protect the electronic components from wind, water and dust. MECHANICAL SPECIFICATIONS: The mechanical system is made up of 2 assembled parts. One part is a hand held keypad unit that can be mounted in the cab of the vehicle. The second is a taillight unit that can be mounted on the rear of the implement under tow. Both units are designed to withstand impact and vibration loading and will protect the electronic components from the elements. Keypad unit: Temperature range: -20° to +50° Height: 3.1” Width: 7.3” Weight: 250g Taillight unit: Temperature range: -20° to +50° Height: 4.3” Width: 72” Weight: 1950g ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Keypad unit: RF Range: 100 Ft Battery type: One 9 volt Battery life: Approximately 200 hours of normal operation at 25° C with alkaline (under use) batteries. Taillight unit: RF Range: 100 Ft Battery type: Four D cell’s Battery life: Approximately 200 hours of normal operation at 25° C with alkaline (under use) batteries. A low-battery detector is built into the keypad/taillight system. There are lights on the keypad unit to indicate a low battery condition for both the keypad unit and the taillight unit. Each unit is designed to withstand a temperature range between -20° C and +50° C. Both the keypad unit and the taillight unit are also designed to withstand impact, vibration and to protect the electronic components from the elements such as wind, water and dust.
