1.2 Warning Instructions

WARNING: Read all instructions. Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES may result in serious
personal injury.

Installation

 GROUND THE RECEIVER CASE. In order to ensure safety of the system, firmly connect the receiver

case to earth ground.

 PROVIDE A SAFETY CUTOFF SWITCH. If maintenance is required, disconnect the radio from power to

prevent accidental activation.

 USE PROPER WIRING. Loose or frayed wires can cause accidental activation of machinery.
 DO NOT INSTALL IN HOT AREAS. This apparatus can be damaged by heat in excess of 160º F.
 DO NOT INSTALL IN HIGH VIBRATION AREAS. The life of this apparatus may be shortened through

long exposure to intense shaking or vibration.

1.2.1 Personal Safety

 MAKE SURE MACHINERY IS CLEAR BEFORE OPERATING. Do not activate the remote system unless it is

safe to do so.

 TURN OFF THE RECEIVER POWER BEFORE WORKING ON MACHINERY. Always disconnect the remote

system before doing any maintenance to prevent accidental operation of the machine.

1.2.2 Care

 KEEP DRY. If water or other liquids get inside, immediately dry the unit.
 KEEP ANTENNAS CLEAN. Keep antenna connections clean and free of corrosion.

1.3 Consignes de Sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT: Le non-respect des CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ peut causer des blessures
sérieuses.

1.3.1 Installation

 RACCORDER LE BOÎTIER À LA MASSE. Pour que le système fonctionne en toute sécurité, le boîtier du

récepteur doit être solidement raccordé à la masse.

 FOURNIR UN INTERRUPTEUR DE SÉCURITÉ. Lors de travaux d’entretien du dispositif, déconnecter le

poste radio afin d’éviter une mise en marche accidentelle.

 UTILISER LES FILS APPROPRIÉS. Des fils découverts ou uses peuvent provoquer un démarrage

accidentel de la machinerie.

 NE PAS INSTALLER DANS DES ENDROITS CHAUDS. Des températures supérieures à 160º F (71º C)

peuvent endommager l’appareil.

 NE PAS INSTALLER DANS LES ENDROITS SOUMIS À DE FORTES VIBRATIONS. L’exposition prolongée

de cet appareil à des vibrations ou des secousses intenses peut en réduire la durée de vie.

1.3.2 Sécurité

 S’ASSURER QUE LA MACHINERIE EST DÉGAGÉE AVANT DE LA FAIRE FONCTIONNER. Ne pas faire

fonctionner le système de téléguidage à moins que cela puisse être fait en toute sécurité.

 METTE LE RÉCEPTEUR HORS TENSION AVANT D’EFFECTEUR DES TRAVAUX SUR LA MACHINERIE. Afin

de prévenir la mise en marche accidentelle de la machinerie, toujours débrancher le système de
téléguidage avant d’effectuer des travaux d’entretien.

1.3.3 Entretien

 GARDER AU SEC. Sécher immédiatement l’appareil, s’il est exposé à de l’eau ou tout autre liquide.
 GARDER LES ANTENNES PROPRES. Garder les raccordements d’antenne propres et exempts de

corrosion.

CommandPro® 23 Series

User Manual

2 INTRODUCTION

The Laird CommandPro® Wireless Control Systems are designed for control of industrial and commercial
equipment. These rugged controls are built to survive the wear and tear of life in factories, mills, and
construction industries. The 23 Series is designed especially for the mobile markets. These systems comply
with requirements for operation under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This means neither the
operator nor the company need apply or register for a license to operate this equipment.

The basic system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter sends commands to the receiver by
means of radio waves in the 900 MHz band. Receivers operate from 12 VDC vehicle power. Operation from
24 VDC is also available.

2.1 ID Codes

Each transmitter and receiver can be programmed for any one of 81 operating frequencies, plus a 16-bit
address code. A single ID Code is used to set and identify both the frequency and address. There are millions
of codes so that no two systems will ever be assigned the same code unless specifically requested for a
particular application.

Each system is fully programmed and tested before shipment from the factory and should require
reprogramming only in the case of spare management (see Maintenance).

2.2 Programming

One of the key features of the decoder is Laird’s exclusive Manufacture Application Program (MAP). The MAP
determines how the outputs are directed, what type they are, how they operate, what safety criteria is
required, and what processing time should be used for each one. In short, the MAP allows Laird to match the
control requirements of almost any system. Laird programs the MAP at the factory.

2.3 Programming Accessories

A stand-alone, portable, and handheld programmer, RAC16A, is available for most applications. It provides a
convenient method for changing the ID Code and making basic application changes to transmitters and
receivers.

2.4 AutoLink

Some receivers are provided with the AutoLink system which allows the receiver to copy the ID code from
any of the 23 Series transmitters by the push of two buttons.

2.5 Options

 Custom Labels. Custom labels are available from the Laird factory to best suit your application.
 Custom Programming. Output relays can be programmed to meet special control requirements.
 First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS). The First-Come-First-Serve option allows use of multiple transmitters

with one receiver, one at a time. The receiver scans a preset list of ID Codes. When a valid signal is

received, the receiver stops scanning and responds only to that transmitter’s signal. When the signal is

no longer being received (i.e., the transmitter has been turned off or is out of range), the receiver
again scans until another valid signal is received.

 Multiple Receivers Controlled by Multiple Transmitters. One transmitter can control up to a maximum

of six receivers with a rotary selector switch.

 Extended Range Antenna. An extended range 900 MHz antenna, Model RCA7, is available for special

applications that require increased range.

 Intrinsically Safe. Intrinsically Safe UL-approved systems with NEMA 7 receiver enclosures are available

for ratings of up to Class 1, Division 1, Group D.
