Locomotive MAC Address and S/N

Handset MAC Address and S/N

The LT150A utilizes a matched pair of radios . the following two labels are the ad-

dresses and serial numbers of the locomotive unit and handset

If there is no label here , the same label/

information can be also found on the radio

tranceiver and the mounting side of the

Locomotive unit.

If there is no label here, the same informa-

tion can be found on the back of the

Contains FCC ID: MCQ-PROS2B

The enclosed device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Operation is subject to the following conditions:

(i.) this device may not cause harmful interference and

(ii.) this device must accept any interference received,

including interference that may cause undesired operation.

WARNING

Radio Transmitting Device

This handset contains a low power “spread spectrum”

radio transmitter. While the e󰀨ective radiation of this

device is less than 200mW and though care has been

taken to design this handset such that the location of

the antenna minimizes human exposure to its 2.4GHz

energy, care should be taken to hold the handset per de-

sign to limit futher exposure and to improve operational

performance.

2. Handset - Before rst use

Inserting the rechargeable batteries into the handset.

Charging the handset batteries

The handset can also be operated

with 2 regular AA Alkaline batteries.

However, the internal charger will only

work with rechargeable batteries.

WARNING: Do not attempt to use

the charger with alkaline batteries

installed!

To charge the handset batteries, plug the

charger into the receptactle on the bottom

Press and hold the power button for a seconds.

You will see the splash-screen before the hand-

set shows the main dashboard. The handset is

now ready to use

Turning the handset on.

Charger LED indicator codes:

Code:

Pre charge state - 1 short ash per second

Rapid Charge - led is equally on/o󰀨 per sec

Post charge - led ashes short twice

No battery detected - 5 short pulses

Post charge constant voltage mode - 3

short ashes

During charging, if the battery is deeply discharged, the charger will indi-

cate it is in a “pre-charge” state in which the battery voltage is brought up to

approximately .8V per cell before commencing rapid charge.

If the batterys are at .8V per cell or above, the charger will enter rapid

charge mode in which the batteries are charged at 500mA for a maximum

time of 5 hours

Please note: The charger will not start rapid charging the bat-

teries if they are still more than 50% charged.

Turning the handset o󰀨.

To turn the handset o󰀨 you have to press and hold the power button for another 2 - 3

Startup Error Messages:

These error messages appear if any of the system checks at startup return a

negative result.

The controller will check for battery voltage and motor drive/motor health, before

it unlocks the system for use

Low locomotive battery error:

Symptom: Solution:

Battery voltage shows 0 Check the wire and fuse for the battery monitors

Battery voltage is ~ 22V 24V sys Locomotive batteries need recharged.

Battery voltage is ~ 33V 36V sys Locomotive batteries need recharged.

4. System and Error Messages

User E-STOP:

This message shows when the power button is pressed while the

system is in operation.

It indicates that the locomotive entered the emergency stop state.

This can be cancelled with a push of the brake button.

Dropped handset E-STOP:

This message shows whenever the handset is dropped and been in

freefall for longer than the period specied in the setup menu. (“fall

time” page 17.)

Handset battery low warning:

This message shows whenever the batteries of the handset fall below

a charge voltage of 1.9v . This message is only shown for a short mo-

ment before the handset turns itself o󰀨. (safety shutdown)

Immediate recharging of the Handset batteries is adviced.

Overcurrent Warning:

The system triggers this message whenever the internal current limit of

approximately 175A is overstepped. This is a safety feature to prevent

damages to the motor or motor drive due to mechanical blockage or

overburdening of the locomotive.

Please note that the locomotive wont stop when this occurs, but the

internal safety will turn o󰀨 the drive on a per PWM cycle basis, and

limiting the current.

To dismiss this message you need to rotate the knob of the hand-

set a notch.

Overheat E-STOP:

The system triggers an Cycle STOP whenever the internal temperature

sensors measure a tamperature above the safe zone for the internal

components.

This message can not be dismissed until the locomotive and hand-

set have been power cycled

System cool down before further use is adviced!
