NOTE: These instructions are intended only for installing and operating the remote control equipment described here. This is not a
complete Operator’s Manual. For complete operating instructions, please read the Operator’s Manual appropriate for your particular
machine.
Safety Precautions
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Failure to follow the SAFETY PRECAUTIONS may result in radio equipment failure and serious personal injury.
Installation
PROVIDE A SAFETY CUTOFF SWITCH. If maintenance is required, the radio must be disconnected from power.
USE PROPER WIRING. Loose or frayed wires can cause system failure, intermittent operation, machine damage, etc.
DO NOT INSTALL IN HOT AREAS. This apparatus can be damaged by heat in excess of 158° F (70° C).
Personal Safety
MAKE SURE MACHINERY AND SURROUNDING AREA IS CLEAR BEFORE OPERATING. Do not activate the re-
mote system unless it is safe to do so.
TURN OFF THE RECEIVER POWER BEFORE WORKING ON MACHINERY. Always disconnect the remote system
before doing any maintenance to prevent accidental operation of the machine.
Care
KEEP DRY. Do not clean the transmitter / receiver under high pressure. If water or other liquids get inside the transmit-
ter battery or receiver compartment, immediately dry the unit. Remove the case and let the unit air dry.
CLEAN THE UNIT AFTER OPERATION. Remove any mud, dirt, concrete, etc. from the unit to prevent clogging of but-
tons, switches, etc. by using a damp cloth.
Maintenance / Welding
DISCONNECT THE RADIO RECEIVER BEFORE WELDING on the machine the radio is connected to. Failure to dis-
connect will result in the destruction of the radio receiver.
The ORIGA T150 / R170 system uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology. FHSS devices con-
centrate their full power into a very narrow signal that randomly hops from frequency to frequency within a designated
band. This transmission pattern, along with CRC-16 error-checking techniques, enables signals to overcome interfer-
ence that commonly affects licensed radios.
The R170 receiver is designed to be powered from a 12VDC or 24VDC system. The R170 is a radio receiver that
takes commands from an OMNEX wireless transmitter and translates the commands into SAE J1939 or other CAN-
bus protocols. The R170 has two CAN ports and can act as a CAN bridge. A RS232 port allows the R170 to be con-
figurable, provide diagnostic information, firmware upgradeable and provides data logging capabilities.
The T150 transmitter comes with 4 to 6 switches and an optional proportional trigger control. It uses standard, long
lasting AA batteries. Each T150 transmitter uses a unique ID code to ensure that no two systems will conflict at a job
site.

When selecting a mounting point for the receiver, it is recommended that the location require only a minimal length of wir-
ing to connect it to the control panel, that it will be in a visible area where it has good exposure to the operator and that it
is mounted on a surface that sustains minimal vibration. It is also recommended that the receiver have the best possible
line of sight with the transmitter
Make sure that wire of sufficient gauge and insulator type is used when connecting the outputs of the receiver to the con-
trol panel. Observe any component manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for proper integration of their prod-
uct. This includes the power ratings and requirements of such components as relays, valves, solenoids, etc.
Be sure to test each of the outputs with a multi-meter prior to connecting the outputs to your end devices. This will ensure
that each output has been programmed to operate in the manner required by each end device.
1. Install Batteries
Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter using a slotted screwdriver and insert 4 "AA"
alkaline batteries. Orientation of the batteries is embossed inside the battery housing. No batteries
are required when the transmitter is connected to the receiver by a Tether Cable.
NOTE: For operation at temperatures below –10° C lithium batteries are recommended. Low temperatures reduce battery T150 Battery
performance for both alkaline and lithium types. Refer to the battery manufacturer’s specifications for detailed information on Housing

2. Turn on the Transmitter WARNING: do not install batteries backwards, charge, put in fire,
or mix with other battery types. May explode or leak causing in-

The R170 requires a transmitter ID from an OMNEX wireless transmitter before it can be operated. The R170 can only
hold a single transmitter ID; if another ID is downloaded then the new ID will overwrite the previous ID. OMNEX transmit-
ter IDs are unique, ensuring that the R170 will only respond to the correct transmitter.

5. Download ID Code
NOTE: When downloading a new ID to a receiver, a safety feature requires that the transmitter be in close proximity to the receiver.
This will prevent a transmitter from accidentally reprogramming a different receiver in the area.
NOTE: When replacing the receiver cover, ensure the cover snaps completely into place to create a weather proof seal around the
base of the receiver.
NOTE: A transmitter ID may be downloaded at anytime even if the R170 already has a valid transmitter ID—the new ID will simply
overwrite the previous ID. When the R170 enters Setup Mode, it shuts down the CAN ports and opens the Emergency-Stop Relay,
thus disabling normal operations.

to the receiver
If by accident, the transmitters have been switched with another unit, by downloading the
ID code to a new receiver, it is possible for the transmitter to operate 2 units at the same
time (if the original receiver unit is still on the job site). Therefore it must be
certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are the correct set.
Secondly, once the download procedure is completed, ensure all other units on the job site
are stopped. Test the operation of the newly configured set to ensure no other
machines on the site work with the same transmitter.
Once you are certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are a unique set, continue
normal operations.
If testing of the receiver and transmitter both show the system as working (Chart 1 & 2), then the transmitter and receiver
will both go into Download/Configuration mode.
Possible issues could arise during Step 4, the download phase of reprogramming. In this case there are 2 symptoms to
look for:
1. The Link light on the receiver will not turn GREEN when the power switch is toggled on the transmitter to download
2. The receiver will “time out” indicating that it didn’t receive a signal from the transmitter within the 30 seconds from
the time the receiver was put into Setup Mode.
If all indications appear normal during the download phase, test the link by turning on the transmitter (note: the transmit-
ter shuts off after transmitting the ID code in Step 4)
1. If the Link light on the receiver doesn’t turn GREEN, the receiver didn’t receive all of the information that was sent
from the transmitter.
Possible Solutions
Note: you could try to determine whether the fault lies with the transmitter or receiver by completing the downloading
procedure with a different transmitter. If this step works, then the fault lies with the original transmitter. If not, the
fault may lie with the receiver.
!!Caution!!
Note: Before attempting downloading with another transmitter, understand that repro-
gramming the receiver with another transmitter, could result in two receivers on the job
site responding to the one transmitter. If the original transmitter was sent in for repair,
Disconnect the receiver (disconnect connector A) to continue using the machine with-
out remote capability and without fear of inadvertently operating the machine with the
other transmitter. Connector A
Reprogramming Tips:
1. Use a pointy instrument to depress the Setup button on the receiver (i.e. a pen) as the button is relatively small
2. Follow each step as laid out in the procedure
3. Never lay the receiver circuit board down on anything metallic (there are contact points on the back which could con-
tact the metal and damage the receiver)
