Remote Control Tarp Arm Kit S6
Installation and Operating Manual
The Remote Control Tarp Arm Controller is designed to provide the ultimate in convenience and
safety to perform tasks remotely. It is a radio frequency (RF) controlled device that allows
operation of a tarp from a hand held transmitter operated remotely. The Transmitter, which
operates at 900 MHz FM, transmits encoded information to the Receiver, which then decodes the
information and performs the desired function. The Transmitter and Receiver are designed to
operate within 585' but actual range is dependent on operating environment.

Kramble Industries Inc. is not responsible or liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection
with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of property, loss of revenue
or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
Electrical Installation
The Tarp Arm Controller is provided with pre-wired connectors and terminals. The polarity must
be correct as follows: +12V on the RED STRIPE wire. A supplied 100A circuit protector is to be
installed on the tractor battery to protect against a wiring “short”.
WARNING: Do not attempt to power the console or drive from a battery charger alone as
damage may occur. Connect to a properly maintained battery system only.
To Reverse the Direction of Operation:
If the Tarp Arm Controller drive is running in the wrong direction when operated, reverse the Red
and Black wires on the terminals connecting to the motor case.
To Change the Transmitter Channel Control: Refer to Channel Select instruction.
Drive Cabling
The Tarp Arm Controller is supplied with 4 gauge power.
CAUTION: The 100Amp Circuit Fuse Assembly provided MUST BE connected directly to the
+12VDC Terminal of the battery to protect against an electrical short in the wiring.
NOTE: ENSURE CORRECT POLARITY! The RED STRIPE/MARKED wire must be connected to +12
VDC.
Think Safety!
Do no install or operate where damage to persons or
property may occur

General Operation
Receiver
The Receiver is equipped with a Power On/Off button on the outside of the case. When the
button is pressed, the Red LED will light indicating normal operation. Press the Power On/Off
button again to turn power off.
The Tarp Arm Controller can be operated using the Transmitter, or alternatively, by operating the
OPEN/CLOSE momentary pushbutton switches on the Receiver. When the Tarp Arm Controller is
operated, a Green LED indicating output power to the motor will be lit. When input is received
from the Transmitter, the Yellow Receive LED will light as well.

with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of property, loss of revenue
or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
Diagnostic Indicators:
There are three ways that the Receiver may use to indicate to the operator that a problem has
been encountered:
1. LOW VOLTAGE: If “low voltage” supply occurs to the drive, the drive will continue to
operate but will reduce speed automatically to maintain maximum torque. The tarp’s
green activity LED will blink slowly (approximately once per second) to indicate this
condition. “Low voltage” is defined as less than 10 volts supply. The “blinking” status will
remain until the supply voltage returns to proper level or the unit is turned off. Check the
battery condition and clean/inspect all electrical connections if this condition arises.
2. HIGH TEMPERATURE: If the temperature of the motor controller becomes too high, the
green activity LED will flash rapidly (approximately three times per second) to indicate
this condition. The high temperature indication will remain and the drive will not operate
until the motor controller has cooled. Check to ensure the tarp moves freely or otherwise
determine the source of the excess load that the drive is working to overcome.
3. CURRENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION: If a “current overload” status occurs, the Tarp Arm
Controller drives are protected by a 100 Amp auto-resetting thermal breaker (fuse)
installed at the tractor battery which disconnects the cabling and drives. This fuse trips
with an audible “click” and the receiver will not operate until the fuse cools and resets
(generally about 15 seconds). The receiver may need to be manually turned on after the
fuse resets.
The Receiver is matched to a Transmitter by “learning” the transmitter’s unique security code so
that the receiver will accept commands from that transmitter. The security code is provided to
prevent unwanted operation of the Receiver by other devices. When the transmitter and
receiver are matched and the transmitter "talks" to the Receiver, the yellow “RECEIVE” light will
come on. A newly-purchased system already has its transmitter matched to the receiver. It is
also possible to erase all stored security codes if desired. The Receiver is equipped with a two-
position switch to enable or disable the learn and erase functions. To enable or disable a function,
open the case and locate the switch as illustrated below. The switches and their positions are
labeled on the circuit board. Newly-purchased systems are set by default so that both functions
are enabled.

Kramble Industries Inc. is not responsible or liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection
with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of property, loss of revenue
or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
Figure 2 Learn/Erase Switches
To match a transmitter to a receiver:
1. Turn the receiver power switch OFF.
2. Hold the STOP button on the receiver and turn the receiver power ON, then release all
buttons. The Receive/LEARN light is then lit to indicate that the receiver is waiting for a
signal from the transmitter to be learned.
3. With the transmitter’s slide switch set to Standby, press the up button on the transmitter
for the channel you wish use to control the receiver. The receiver will read the
transmitter’s security code and the desired channel and store them in memory. The
Receive/LEARN light will flash slowly to indicate that the transmitter has been successfully
learned, and the receiver will then enter normal operating mode.
Up to eight transmitters can be learned by a receiver, and each transmitter may use a different
channel to control the receiver. If eight transmitters have already been learned by a receiver and
it is instructed to learn another transmitter, the oldest-learned transmitter will be overwritten
and forgotten.
To erase all stored security codes, first set the internal switch maker ERASE to ENABLE. Turn the
receiver power ON while holding the LEARN button, and continue holding the button until the
Receive/LEARN light begins to rapidly flash. Release the button, and the light will flash more
slowly for three seconds, then will turn off to indicate that the erase operation has succeeded. If
the LEARN button is pressed while the Receive/LEARN light is slowly flashing, the erase operation
is aborted and the receiver retains the stored transmitter security codes.
The Receiver power should be turned OFF when not in use to prevent undesired operation.

with the use or performance of the product or other damage with respect to any economic loss, loss of property, loss of revenue
or profit, or costs of removal, installation, or reinstallation.
Transmitter
The Transmitter is powered by a 9V battery which, when installed, should light the red "power"
light when the OFF/STANDBY switch is in the STANDBY position and a function switch is pressed.
If the battery does not exceed 7 volts the Power light will not light, indicating battery replacement
is required.
Figure 3 Transmitter
Each transmitter contains a unique identifying security code that is transmitted to the receiver
during RF operation. Up to eight Transmitters can communicate with the same Receiver as long
as the receiver has learned the transmitters’ security codes.
The OFF/STANDBY switch (if equipped) must be in the STANDBY position before the Transmitter
can be activated to prevent unintentional operation of the Receiver. The OFF/STANDBY switch
does not control the Red led but the RED Led will NOT turn on when a transmitter function button
is pressed if the switch is in the OFF position. To control the Receiver, slide the OFF/STANDBY
switch to STANDBY, then press the desired channel function buttons. Slide the switch to OFF
when no control is desired. The transmitter does not use any battery power with the switch in
the STANDBY position unless a channel function control button is also pressed.
