Users Manual RF900 Wireless remote

The RF900 Wireless Remote is a transparent cable replacement for the EZ-R wired remote. The
system consists of two ends, one that resides on the top of the truck and the other that resides on the top of
the loader.

Installation is to be handled by a factory certified dealer.

Truck

The indicator will be located inside of the feedtruck shown below. The radio will be located on
top of the cab of the truck. Your dealer will set the channel during installation. Operation of the indicator
will not vary to the user. If during normal usage, performance is less than 300 feet in open field conditions,
re-orient the radio on the roof of the truck away from large metal objects until the range improves. If no
improvement is made, please call your dealer.

Loader

The channel selector and the remote are located inside of the loader. The radio enclosure will be
placed by your dealer on the top of the loader. Your dealer will have already set and recorded the channel
number of each of the available trucks. Turn the remote on and wait until either the weight display or the
NODATA message appears on the display. If the no data message appears, re-orient the loader
approximately 50 feet in front of truck. If the weight display does not appear press the up arrow button on
the remote. You should see the message “CH 01” appear on the display indicating that your radio is set on
channel one. Press the up arrow once more to advance the channel number to channel 2. Cycle through the
16 channels and watch for the weight display to appear. If the weight display does not appear after trying
all of the channels, check the orientation of the radio attached to the loader. Orient the radio away from
any large metal objects and try the channel selection test once again. If there is still no communication,
please call your dealer. To tare the indicator in the truck from the remote in the loader, press the tare button
once and wait for the red enunciator on the from of the remote to illuminate.

Both the radio on the truck and on the loader have low battery detection circuits. Should the message
“LOWBAT” appear on the display of the remote, check the battery voltages of both the truck and the
loader. Raw power for both radios is provided by the indicator on the truck end and the remote on the
loader end. Check the connections. If no source of trouble can be found, please call you r dealer.
