Wireless Remote Control System
Wireless Remote Control System Overview
Overview
The Harmony™ eXLhoist range of wireless remote control systems is an operator control station
used in hoisting and material handling applications.
The Wireless Remote Control System is based on 2 types of devices:
Remote Device (or transmitter), which is the operator command device to interface with the
machine.
Base Station (or receiver), which is hardwired to the machine. It receives control commands
from the Remote Device and transmits information to the operator.
The Wireless Remote Control System is a combination of these devices which communicate by
radio transmission.
Radio Communication
Each Base Station have a unique ID managed by Schneider Electric. It permits up to 50 single
systems working at same time without perturbation in a 100 x 100 meter area.
