If I lose the remote control, how do I secure the receiver?
The first step is to cut power to the machine or remove the receiver supply fuse; that way no movement can occur even if the lost remote control comes back into range. Then re-pair the receiver with a new remote control following the learning procedure in the user manual. Confirm with technical support whether the operation disables the lost device.
A lost transmitter carries the ID code that has been taught to the receiver. For that reason, relying only on keeping the lost device physically far away is not correct.
What to do, in order:
- Immediate measure: switch off the machine's main switch or remove the receiver supply fuse. A receiver without power cannot process commands.
- Record: record the incident; which machine, which remote control, when.
- Re-pairing: apply the learning procedure in the manual with the new or spare remote control. Keep the power circuit isolated during learning.
- Verification: test all channels first unloaded, then loaded.
- Confirmation: confirm with technical support whether re-learning erases the old ID; if it does not, ask for the alternative method.
Preventive measures: hand the remote controls in to a locked cabinet at the end of the shift and keep a handover record; label each device with the machine name; use a neck strap or belt clip to reduce the risk of dropping and forgetting. The machine's own hard-wired emergency stop circuit must always be accessible and kept in working order.
