Data feedback
Customer-specific feedback information / status of the machine function
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’.
Design as cable desk
1. RF radio transmitter (optionally also with wired connection)
2. Cable console
For radio-critical work areas, the control unit can be supplied on request, not as a transmitter but as a cable console with the same functional equipment.
SMP pushbuttons
Either one, two or three-stage
SMP technology: simple push buttons change without opening the housing, no protective measures against contamination necessary.
Rotary switch
Max. two rotary switches and / or optionally also potentiometer etc.
Side buttons
An additional button each left and right, for free use
Neck strap for PocketEvo
Optional (NBB-No.: 3.320.1022)
Belly strap for PocketEvo
Optional (NBB-No.: 3.320.1021)
Hand strap for PocketEvo
Description
The 8 buttons of the PocketEvo-media can have 1, 2 or 3 levels as well as stepless and are freely configurable. In the lower area of the radio remote control, up to two additional rotary switches or potentiometers can be integrated. For maximum flexibility, the transmitter has space on the side for one additional button each and can therefore be used to control a wide variety of machines.
Either a 7-segment display or a 2.2 inch display can be integrated to show customer-specific feedback.
All 8 buttons on the PocketEvo-media can be replaced by the operator in just a few minutes thanks to the patented SMP technology. The housing remains closed at all times, so that no protective measures against contamination need to be taken. Changing a transmitter is also really easy thanks to the integrated Radiokey. The key of the old device is simply removed and plugged into the new transmitter – a connection to the receiver is immediately established and the system can be put back into operation. These innovative technologies reduce expensive downtimes to a minimum!
The specially developed special housing of the transmitter offers optimal protection against dirt and shocks. The glass fibre reinforced plastic core protects all electronic components from external mechanical influences. Thanks to the all-round protective rubber coating, any impact or shock is cushioned. This allows the PocketEvo to be used in particularly harsh environments.
The jury of the Industry Prize was also convinced by the radio remote control, so that they awarded the PocketEvo the “Industry Prize 2017”. The prize is awarded to particularly progressive industrial products that have a high economic, technological and ecological benefit. The PocketEvo was awarded the “BEST OF” rating.
Compact, handy and easy to use, the PocketEvo button transmitter allows you to work in complete safety conditions without reducing the effectiveness of machine operation.
Technologies
SMP
The Surface Mounted Push-Buttons (SMP) are form-fit integrated into the PocketEvo series housings. In the event of service, the operator can easily replace a broken button himself on site. The housing does not have to be opened for this purpose, so no protective measures against soiling need to be taken. [More information]
Teach-in
The teach-in function enables an optimized utilization of the joystick movement. By setting the min/max values on the transmitter side, the maximum move of the joystick is optimally utilized. As a result there are no longer any dead joystick motions. Even a minimum deflection of the joystick causes the immediate opening of a valve. [More information]
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 information]
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 information]
Radiokey
The safety risk is significantly reduced using the RADIOKEY. Here a defined range is available for the crane or machine operator in which the remote control system can be activated. As a result, unwitting or inadvertent activation of the transmitter is excluded and the receiver is not sent any control information. [More information]
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 information]
Data reporting
Visual representation of Operating Range, Transmission signal strength, Status of the machine function and Customer-specific information as well as logos supplemented by acoustic feedback (buzzer can be activated). [More information]
