The Toro Commercial Equipment Remote (TCER) is a handheld transmitting Remote
and equipment mounted Receiver controller designed to operate wireless capable Toro
Power Equipment remotely. All installation, operation and service instruction must be
followed to insure safe and proper use of the wireless devices and power equipment.

Remote Receiver:

The TCER is interfaced with equipment through the two multi-pin connectors designated
as P1 and P2. In order to allow proper operation of the Receiver module, the antenna is
permanently attached to the Receiver module and its orientation is shown below in Figure

1. The Receiver module gets mounted high on the equipment with the antenna away
from metallic objects allowing visibility to desired operator use locations. A
preconfigured mounting location is present on the Remote capable equipment and the
equipment control wires will only connect at that location.

The Receiver module connector pins are shown in the schematics and drawings and are
connected to host equipment at the designated mounting location. The Receiver module
power of 7-30 Vdc is supplied by the host equipment and all Relay driven outputs,
isolated from the Receiver circuitry, are interfaced via the P1 and P2 connectors.
Voltages below 6 volts will result in the Receiver entering a standby then shutdown mode
until the input voltage rises within proper operating specifications. The antenna should
not be modified and must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.

Handheld Remote Transmitter:

The handheld Remote Transmitter (figure 2) consists of 6 buttons, an internal PCB loop
antenna and is powered by three 1.5 volt alkaline AAA batteries. The transmitter
operation will cease after the combined battery voltage drops below the operational

1 of 3

threshold. The batteries should be replaced immediately when range performance
decreases or operation ceases. An LED indicates when the unit is sending.

Installation and Operating Instructions

To install the Receive Module:

1) Turn the machine off and disconnect the Equipment’s positive battery cable.

2) Mount the Receiver module using the 2 machine screws to the designated

mounting location on the power equipment. The antenna faces up as shown in
Figure 1 above.

3) Plug the 2 electrical cables firmly in to P1 and P2 on the receiver module. The

electrical cables are different sizes and are keyed so they will only be installed
correctly in the noted position.

4) Reconnect the Equipment’s positive battery cable.

5) Turn the Equipment’s key switch on a note the power LED illuminate on the

Receiver Module.

6) Press a button on the Remote transmitter and observe the corresponding Receiver

LED illuminate and Relay energize.

Learning a new transmitter:

1) To have the Receiver learn a new Transmitter, temporarily short the unconnected

P1:1 cable to ground until the Signal LED blinks quickly.

2) Press any key on the new Transmitter until the LED stops blinking.

3) The Receiver will not only recognize the new Transmitter.

Replacing the hand held Remote transmitter batteries:

1) Open the Transmitter by removing the 6 phillips head screws on the back of the

case.

2) Replace the three ‘AAA’ batteries with three NEW batteries . NOTE: Never mix

old and new or different manufacturer’s batteries.

3) Reinstall the transmitter cover with the 6 removed screws.
