The ABURemote radio remote control:
─ The ABURemote enables ABUS cranes to be operated remotely.
─ ABURemote can be used to operate all the normal crane functions (crane travel/slewing, trolley travel, lifting/lowering) and, depending on the crane equipment, many additional functions.
─ ABURemote is tailored especially for the components of ABUS cranes and operates together with the electronic modules of the crane directly (e.g. load indicator system LIS, ABUControl).
─ ABURemote has a range of more than 100 metres, depending on, for example, the walls and objects between the transmitter and receiver. Additional factors which can limit the range include other devices with wireless technology, and ambient conditions such as weather and humidity.
─ The transmitter features an ergonomic design for a comfortable grip. The crane functions can be operated with one hand. The buttons are large-sized and have a long stroke for safe operation.
─ The transmitter has a housing made of impact- and scratch-resistant plastic, which makes it stable and robust.
─ The transmitter houses an internal antenna which cannot break off if the transmitter is dropped.
─ The current operating mode of the transmitter is also visualised through the background lighting in various colours.
─ The transmitter is operated using three rechargeable AA batteries or three single-use AA batteries.
─ ABURemote features semi-automatic frequency management. When switching on, or when the crane operator calls up “Freq. change” from the menu, ABURemote will search for a free radio channel for data transmission.
─ ABURemote is designed so that the crane is deactivated in the event of a faulty signal or radio interference, preventing it from operating unchecked.
─ ABURemote has a reliable emergency stop function. The transmitter continuously emits a ready signal to the receiver. If this ready signal is not detected for half a second (e.g. due to radio interference), the receiver switches to emergency stop. In addition, the transmitter emits an active stop signal and is deactivated when the On/Stop button is pressed.
─ ABURemote operates in the 433 MHz ISM frequency range.
For wireless technology XR2: The data transmission is based on a 4 GFSK modulation. This enables a short signal propagation delay, in other words, a fast response of the crane.
─ The receiver with relay has an inner-lying antenna and a compact construction, status indicator LEDs which are visible from a distance and can also be opened quickly with conventional tools.
─ The CAN bus receiver is intended for top-hat rail assembly in the crane control. It has a connection for an external magnetic base antenna and is designed for use with the ABUControl crane control unit.
─ The receiver for ABURemote AC is specially designed for the ABUS chain hoists ABUCompact GM2 to 8 and can be directly mounted on the chain hoist and connected.
With tandem control system:
─ ABURemote can be used to control two cranes with a tandem control system. The transmitter is logged in on both cranes and controls them in a synchronised manner. The monitoring of limit switches and other safety functions is ensured by the control of the two overhead travelling cranes.
─ It is possible to switch back and forth between the two cranes using the transmitter. Switching on the tandem control system temporarily enables control of an individual crane (e.g. for slinging the load or compensating height differences).
With two trolleys on one crane:
─ For trolley selection I I+II II: It is possible to switch back and forth between the two trolleys using the transmitter. This allows the trolleys to be operated in alternation. Furthermore, joint operation can be selected which allows the trolleys to be operated together.
─ For trolley selection I II: It is possible to switch back and forth between the two trolleys using the transmitter. This allows the trolleys to be operated in alternation.
Inductive charging cradle:
─ The charging cradle with the integrated induction battery charger enables easy and contactless charging of the battery inside the transmitter.
─ The charging cradle is a safe and designated storage location for the transmitter when not working with the crane.
─ By means of its magnetic lock in the charging cradle, the transmitter can be positioned for an optimal energy transfer. At the same time, the transmitter can be quickly and easily removed.
─ The transmitter can also be laid in the charging cradle with protective case, belt clip and hand loop.
─ The separate wall bracket of the charging cradle enables space-saving mounting near the work area.
─ The charging process of the battery is shown by a large charge state gauge on the charging cradle and in the display of the ABURemote.
─ Using optional accessories (conventional battery charger and replacement battery), the transmitter can also be used in three-shift operation.
The battery charger:
─ The battery charger can charge 1 to 4 rechargeable batteries (NiMH).
─ The battery charger monitors each individual charging slot separately from the other.
─ The battery charger monitors the battery temperature, prevents overcharging, detects defective batteries and detects any single-use battery inserted.
─ The battery charger detects when the rechargeable battery is charged and switches over to trickle charging.
─ With the separate battery charger and two sets of batteries, the transmitter can be used without interruption (e.g. in three-shift operation).
