1 Introduction

The AgroPilot radio system consists of a transmitter and a receiver. Communication takes place

mainly from the transmitter to the receiver. With the "feedback" option, the relay states can be

displayed on the transmitter.

Thanks to sophisticated wireless technology, distances of up to several kilometers can be achieved

(line of sight).

In addition, the receiver has an integrated PLC (CoDeSys) that allows more complex linkages to be

established. The PLC functionality is optional and is only enabled upon request.

The handheld transmitter features 12 robust, water- and weather-proof silicone buttons that provide

comfortable tactile feedback. They are backlit and indicate the relay status of each function. The

robust, high-quality laser labeling can be customized.

Depending on the model, the receiver features 2, 4, 6 or 7 relay outputs and includes an integrated

buzzer. The relays can be programmed by touch, resting, to switch off after a certain time or to

prevent switching off. If the PLC option has been enabled, as many separate linkages and delays as

desired can be implemented.

2 Safety Notices

The received must be installed, serviced and set up only by trained electricians.

All installation and safety standards must be followed.

Before putting into service, check whether the correct operating voltage has been set in

terms of performance and voltage (see receiver model label).

The switches must not be operated ungrounded.

The receiver terminal box may only be opened once the current has been cut off.

Never work on the terminals or controls when the current is active!

Never wash the unit with water or clean with high pressure water.

The AgroPilot radio remote control must NOT be used in applications where failure or

malfunction of the product could result in personal injury or material damage.

3 Hand-Held Transmitter

3.1 Installation

The transmitter is delivered with 3 pre-installed AA alkaline batteries and is ready to use without

further preparation.

3.2 General Functions

Fig. 1: Front Side of Transmitter

LED display:

A: Low battery status

(if lit, change battery)

The LED will flash as the battery is

getting low, but the transmitter will

continue operating for some time. If

the LED stays lit (without blinking),

the batteries must be changed.

B: Transmitter on

(if lit, indicates the

transmitter is ready to

operate)

The LED lights up when a button is

pressed to indicate that the

transmitter is ready to use. After

approx. 15 seconds without further

input from the user, the transmitter

will return to standby mode. The

LED will flash to indicate this.

C: Wireless connection

(displays quality of wireless

connection)

If the LED flashes quickly, this

indicates communication between

the transmitter and the receiver. If

the LED stays lit (without blinking),

the connection has been disrupted.

3.3 Changing Batteries

Remove the battery housing cover on the back of the transmitter to reach the battery compartment

and the manufacturer interfaces.

For the machine to work properly, use standard AA, 1.5V alkaline batteries.

The batteries can be ordered from Firma Meier Elektronik AG or from a

specialist store.

Fig. 2: Rear Side of Transmitter

1: Device number

Each transmitter/receiver pair

has a unique device number.

The device numbers for the

transmitter and receiver must be

identical.

2: Frequency selector

A maximum of 8 different

frequencies are available. If you

change the frequency with the

dial, do the same on the

receiver.

3: Programming interface

Manufacturer's programming

interface (not used by end

users)

4 Integrated TelePilot

4.1 General

If AgroPilot contains the optional integrated TelePilot, the controller can be accessed globally. This

allows issues with the range of radio signals to be easily bridged. This feature requires a telephone

(mobile or landline).

4.2 Operation

Use your phone to dial the number of the receiver housing and use the phone's keypad to turn

features/channels on or off. With * (star), you can switch a feature ON. With the # (pound sign), you

can switch it OFF, if it is bistable. Momentary functions (such as the buzzer) turn themselves off.

5 Receiver

5.1 How to Install the Receiver Housing

The receiver housing has a stable aluminum mounting plate on the rear side that allows for different

installation options. Depending on the installation option, the receiver can be mounted on the DIN

track, brackets, a rubber buffer or by magnet.

Fig. 3: Receiver Housing with Mounting Plate

If the receiver is used outdoors, it should not be exposed to direct weather

influences which will unnecessarily reduce its useful life.

Protect the receiver from spraying water and other environmental influences
