2. Remote Control Operation
A. The remote control duplicates the functions of the local push buttons on the magnet. The
system utilizes Infrared (I/R) light to communicate with the magnet to minimize interference to/
from radio frequency remote controls used elsewhere in the user's facility.
B. Check the remote control to verify that battery (9 volt, alkaline) has been
properly installed. Then press both the PROOF and GRIP buttons *while
observing the red LED at the top center of the remote. If the battery is properly
installed, the LED should fl ash.
C. (Programming) With the CER magnet connected to 115 -120VAC power, point
the remote control at the I/R lens above the local Grip/Release buttons. Press
and hold all three buttons simultaneously-GRIP, RELEASE, PROOF. The local
green GRIP LED ring and the red RELEASE LED ring will fl ash. Hold both
buttons until the LED rings stop fl ashing. This should take about fi ve seconds.
The I/R remote control is now programmed and ready to use with the magnet.
D. Perform a trial GRIP and RELEASE to verify that the remote is properly programmed: Aiming
the remote toward the I/R lens on the magnet, press and hold the blue PROOF and green
GRIP buttons on the remote. Hold them until the green GRIP LED ring illuminates. The magnet
is now in the full "ON" or energized condition. To release the work piece, place load on an
adequate support. Press and hold both the PROOF and RELEASE buttons on the remote.
Hold them both until the red ring of the RELEASE button fl ashes, indicating that pulses are
being sent to the magnet. See pulse schedule, above.
E. The remote control should operate the magnet at a distance of one to fi fteen feet from the
magnet.
* NOTES for previous versions of CER magnets:
Control functions for early models of the CER magnets are labeled with:
"LIFT" rather than "GRIP"
"ENABLE" or dual "RELEASE" rather than "PROOF"
Functionality is common with the descriptions above.
