Push button transmitter

Planar-C

Thanks to its small and flat design, the Planar-C fits in any breast pocket.
It is particularly suitable for controlling skip loaders, chippers, screening machines, conveyor belts, mobile transport systems, light poles, mixers, fog machines, high racks, suction/dishwashing vehicles, grinding machines and scrap presses.

Extremely flat and light
Particularly short charging time thanks to the charging tray
7-segment display for data feedback

Options

Data feedback

LBT frequency search

When switching on or switching to another frequency, the system checks whether the frequency channel used is occupied by other transmitters. If this is the case, the next frequency channel is checked until it is ensured that the transmitter can operate without interference. LBT is the abbreviation for ‘Listen before Talk’.

Description

The Planar-C convinces with its small and compact design. Nevertheless, it offers space for up to 15 single-stage or 6 two-stage keys and can therefore be used in a variety of ways. A 7-segment LED display is also integrated in the Planar-C for visualization of the machine feedback.
The replaceable AA cells used for the power enable maximum performance. Thanks to the charging contacts integrated in the transmitter, they can be charged quickly and easily in the appropriate charging cradle.
Optionally, the Planar-C can be equipped with LBT (Listen before Talk) technology. This technology ensures that when the transmitter is switched on or when the frequency is changed, a check is made to see whether the selected frequency channel is already occupied by other transmitters. If this is the case, the next channel is checked until it is ensured that the channel is free and the transmitter can operate without interference.

Technologies

Multi-user system

The multi-user system enables radio communication between several transmitters and several receivers. Each transmitter can be optionally operated with several receivers at a workplace and / or vice versa. Provided that this connection is not otherwise used at this moment. [More info]

NBB battery system

Nickel metal hydride batteries (NiMH) have a high energy density. The contacts have a self-cleaning design. The NBB battery pack is charged with a high charge current with a NBB charger. This quick charge is thermally controlled to optimize recharging and prevent overcharging. [More info]

LBT frequency search

When switching on or when switching the frequency, a check is carried out to determine whether the used frequency channel is reserved by another transmitter. If this is the case, the next frequency channel is checked until it is ensured that the transmitter can operate without disturbance. LBT is shortcut for Listen before Talk. [More info]
