1.0 Warrior MCB-9XL Transmitter (MCB-9XL)

The Warrior MCB-9XL transmitter is a compact remote control unit that interfaces with Warrior
machine unit (MU) receivers. The MCB-9XL is available as either a three-joystick- or four­joystick transmitter, both powered by four type “AA” cell batteries. Each version includes two
toggle switches, a push-pull Single-Pole/Single-Throw (SPST) Professional STOP switch, and a
green multi-purpose pushbutton. Both MCB-9XL designs have four red diagnostic/status Light­Emitting Diodes (LEDs) that indicate wireless link (or radio frequency, “RF”) activity, Battery
(“Bat.”) condition, trolley/hoist “A” selection, and trolley/hoist “B” selection. The rugged MCB-9XL
enclosure is made of glass-filled nylon designed to meet an IP55 ingress protection rating, as
defined by IEC 60529.

Using line-of-sight Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology, the mini console
box’s (MCB’s) transmission power permits a generous control distance in crowded radio
environments. The rugged enclosure and water-resistant switches and joysticks ensure reliable
operation in harsh weather environments – operating in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C) to a
maximum of 158°F (70°C). Warrior MCBs transmit RF signals via an internal antenna, while
status is conveyed to the user via the four LEDs.

MCB-9XL transmitter functions can be configured by manipulating the MU receiver DIP Switch
(S01) mode settings.
