Features & Benefits
INNOVATIVE AND EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE
Advanced microprocessor controls with 32-bit CRC and Hamming Code provide ultra-fast, safe, precise and error-free encoding and decoding. The handheld transmitter comes equipped with more than 200 programmable functions to suit all types of applications.
ERGONOMIC & RELIABLE DESIGN
Rounded transmitter enclosures made from industrial-strength nylon and fiberglass composite materials combine comfort with durability. Pushbuttons feature gold-plated contacts and are rated for more than two million press cycles. The defined snap-action pushbutton steps provide positive tactile feedback even while wearing gloves.
SECURE & DEPENDABLE COMMUNICATIONS
Frequency agility feature automatically switches channels when interference is detected on a channel. Built-in infrared allows for transmitter configuration with the IR Programmer, so transmitter unit doesn’t need to be opened up to configure. Advanced synthesized RF controls with 124 channels add flexibility to frequency management in the field. 62 channels are user-programmable.
DROP DETECTION CAPABILITY
This durable features-rich radio comes standard with Zero G drop detection capability, designed to identify an accidental transmitter drop, ceasing all operation, preventing unintended equipment motion and enhancing system safety.
Options
SPECIALTY MODELS
Flex Wave radios are available with special operational functions to provide even more control options.
A/B Selector Switch (AB)
A three-position selector switch allows one operator to switch operation between two trolley/hoists (A, B, or Both) that are located on a single bridge. The operator can easily identify which trolley hoist is active on the crane by the position of the selector switch (Available on 8- and 12-button models).
RECEIVERS
Flex Wave systems are packaged with two transmitters and a receiver for easy replacement and increased uptime. Certain features of the Flex Wave are enabled when 4- or 6-button transmitters are paired with the space-saving MRX receiver. Full features are enabled when 4, 6, 8, or 12-button transmitters are paired with the Wave receiver.
