The machine operator is still required to follow OSHA and other applicable standards when operating the equipment. This system is designed with Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) Technology to eliminate the RF interference problem in Radio remote products. The control system consists of two major modules: the remote station (this unit), and a separate remote receiver (Digital Controller) sold separately. Each transmitter is preprogrammed with a special radio ID code. The receiver is programmed to respond only to the transmitter with the ID code for which it is set. This feature allows the equipment to work in wireless mode in close vicinity of each other without interfering with each other. In the event that a transmitter becomes damaged and a new one is needed, the receiver can be reprogrammed to respond to the new transmitter. MINI REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION: 1.Refer to the wiring chart for wiring connections. 3.When installing the unit, the main power should run from the battery, through a 20 amps fast blow fuse, to a power switch or relay; then into the receiver unit. For best results connect the receiver main power connections to the auxiliary terminal of the ignition switch, PTO switch, or ignition relay. Use 18 gauge or heavier wire. 4.All connections must be properly insulated to protect against shorts. BEFORE APPLYING POWER: 1.Check power and ground polarity. 2.Check wiring harness for possible shorts before connecting remote control to output devices (i.e., valves, relays) by checking each mating pin terminal. 3.Read the rest of this manual. MINI REMOTE 3 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE: 1. Clean transmitter and receiver regularly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. 2. Periodically check receiver antenna for tightness. 3. Inspect electrical wiring for wear points or other damage. Repair as required. 4. Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion. Tighten and/or "seal" as necessary. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS: When performing any inspection or maintenance work on the MINI REMOTE system, always exercise care to prevent injury to yourself and others or damage to the equipment. The following are general precautions that should be closely followed in carrying out any maintenance work. 1. Do not have hydraulic power available to the valves when performing electrical tests or downloading programs. 2. Never operate or test any function if any person is in an area where they could be hurt by being hit or squeezed by the hydraulic equipment. 3. Turn power off before connecting or disconnecting valve coils or other electrical loads. TROUBLESHOOTING: This section provides basic operator level troubleshooting for the MINI REMOTE system. If, after following these instructions, the system still does not function, check the hydraulic system then contact your KAR-TECH representative for further instructions or servicing. MINI REMOTE 4 TROUBLE SHOOTING CHART PROBLEM SOLUTION 1. No operation of all functions when a function switch is activated. 1. Check to see if a selector switch is in the proper position. 2. Check that unit power is on. 3. Check that receiver power is on. 4. Check vehicle wiring for power into the receiver. 5. Check LED status display for system status. 6. Check for proper grounding of vehicle's electrical circuit. 7. Check vehicle's hydraulic system 2. Certain functions do not work 1. Check the wiring connection from the receiver to the valve coil or the output function that does not work. 2. Check LED status display for system status. 3. Check vehicle's hydraulic system 4. Check vehicle's electrical system 3. Function operates intermittently. 1. Check for loose connections. 2. Check LED status display for system status. 3. Check receiver antenna for any damage and proper connection. 4. Check vehicle's hydraulic system MINI REMOTE 5 SPECIFICATIONS TRANSMITTER Power supply ........................................... +12V nominal, 9V to 35V transient Operating temperature - Radio ............................................ -40 ̊C to +85 ̊C Storage temperature........................................................ -40 ̊C to +100 ̊C Frequency ......................................................................... 902-928 MHz Transmit power (ERIP) ................................................................... 10 mW Vibration ............................................................................ 3G to 200Hz Shock ...........................................................................................50G There are no user-serviceable parts inside the Transmitter or the Receiver.

FCC ID: P4U-MNTA2 Report 3097359MIN-001M, May 2006 Page 18 of 51 3.6 RF Exposure Calculation, FCC 15.247(b)(5) The RF Exposure calculations are based on manufacturer specification that minimum distance from the antenna to operator (user) is 20cm. The RF Exposure can be calculated according to equation from OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01: S = PG/4*pi*R 2 , Where: S is Limits for Maximum Permissive Exposure (MPE) (mW/cm 2 ), P is Maximum Peak Power to Antenna (mW), G is Antenna Gain (numerical gain), R is Distance to the antenna radiation center (cm), must be below 20cm (FCC 2.1093) S = (F/1500)mW/cm 2 according to FCC 1.1310, where F (in MHz) from 300 to 1500MHz S = 902/1500 = 0.6 mW/cm 2 P = 9.36dBm = 8.63mW, G = 0.71dBi = 1.18 (numerical gain) R is calculated and = 1.2cm, within 20 cm
