2 Product description

2.1 Overview

The RCB10+ is a 4-channel control box with a 2 Ah battery pack.

2.2 System and compatibility

A REAC control system consists of a control box, a power source, a hand control, and one or several

actuators.

•The RCB10+ has a built-in battery and needs no additional power source.

•The RCB10+ can be combined with the RHC10 hand control and almost any REAC actuator1.

•The RCB10+ can also be connected to generic digital switches, via the RHC12 adapter. In this

case, the hand control cannot be connected.

2.3 Configuration

The RCB10+ is easily configured using the RST10 Windows software. It is possible to set parameters for

each actuator channel, in both directions. You can, for example, set the start/stop ramps, speed factors,

and overcurrent limits.

1Except RE7000 which has a special interface.

2.4 Connectors

Actuator connectors

A REAC actuator2equipped with a 6.5 mm phono connector can be connected.

Charger jack

The charger jack is used for connection of the battery charger.

Hand control (HC) connector

The RHC10 hand control can be used together with the RCB10+. It is as standard equipped with a 6.5

mm phono connector.

To achieve full IP protection, all cable connectors must be equipped with O-rings.

The actuator and hand control connectors are of the same type. To facilitate identification,

color coding of cables and connectors is available as an option.

2.5 Battery

RCB10+ has a built-in battery, with a capacity of 2.0 Ah.

The duration of a fully charged battery depends on the current consumption in each application and the

usage pattern.

RCB10+ can handle energy from regenerating actuators. This makes it possible to use the

actuators with very good efficiency, which in turn gives an improved time between charging.

2.5.1 Battery level information

The following battery level information is available:

•The RCH10 hand control has a low battery LED, which starts flashing when the RCB10+ battery

has reached a low level.

•The RCB10+ Premium has a low battery sound alarm, which gives a sound when the battery has

reached a low level.

•The estimated charge level can be read using the RST10, see section 5.3.2.

When the low battery warning is activated, a few strokes remains. The number of strokes depends on the

application and the configuration in RST10, see section 5.2.7.

2Except RE7000 which has a special interface.

2.5.2 Battery disconnection function

To protect the battery from deep discharge and damaged battery cells, the RCB10+ has a function that

can disconnect the battery completely internally.

The battery is automatically disconnected when the battery level is critically low or after 18 days of

standby.

You can also disconnect the battery manually. The battery should typically be disconnected during

shipping, storage, or when not in use for a long time. For more information, see section 4.2.

2.6 Safety functions

2.6.1 Duty cycle

To prevent the actuator motors from overheating, the REAC control systems have a built-in supervision

and protection feature. There are three limits used to determine if the user shall be warned or if the

operation should stop.

The following limits can be configured per actuator channel:

•Warning limit.

•No acceleration allowed limit (ongoing movement continues at current or lower speed, no new

movement can start).

•No movement allowed limit.

The duty cycle limits can be configured using the RST10, see section 5.2.5.

2.6.2 Disabled motor activation while charging

If the battery charger is connected, the RCB10+ prevents any motor activation. The reason is that the

charger is not intended to run a motor and doing so might cause EMC disturbance from the charger.

2.6.3 Overcurrent

Overcurrent is a limit that is used to detect if the actuator is overloaded, runs into any obstacle, or reaches

an end limit (if limit switches are not used). The movement will be stopped if the motor current is above the

set limit for 250 ms. If the motor current is 2 A above the set limit, the movement will stop immediately.

It is possible to configure individual current limits for all channels via the RST10, see section 5.2.4.

2.6.4 Internal errors

If an internal error is detected, the operation turns off for one channel only or for all channels, depending

on the type of error. The alert indicator LED on the hand control lights up.

Errors are automatically cleared after 10 seconds and the operation turns on again. If the error still

remains, the channel/channels will be turned off again and no operation will be possible.

3 Getting started

3.1 Before first use

Before using the RCB10+ for the first time, you should charge the battery for 24 hours. This to ensure full

charge and to prolong the lifetime of the battery.

To charge the battery the first time, do the following:

1. Connect the battery charger to the RCB10+ charger jack and to a wall socket.

2. Check that the LED on the charger is red, indicating charging.

3. Keep the charger connected for 24 hours.

3.2 Connecting hand control and actuators

To connect the hand control and actuators, do the following:

1. Connect the hand control to the HC connector on the RCB10+.

2. Check that the LEDs on the hand control light up. If not, the battery needs to be activated.

Do the following:

a. Connect the battery charger to the RCB10+ and to a wall socket.

b. Wait 5 seconds and then disconnect the charger.

3. Connect each actuator to an actuator connector on the RCB10+.

Make sure all cables are equipped with O-rings. Without the O-rings, the IP protection

will be lost.

The actuator and hand control connectors are of the same type. Make sure you

connect the cables to the correct conntector.

To simplify assembly of the O-rings, put some grease on them. Standard Vaseline

can be used.

3.3 Configuring RCB10+

The configuration of RCB10+ is done using the RST10 Windows software, which you can download from

REAC’s web page and install on your computer.

To connect the RCB10+ to the computer, the RHC12 adapter with a USB cable (Type A-B) and 6.35 mm

phono cable are needed.

To be able to test the effect of the parameter settings, the actuators and the hand control can optionally be

connected.

3.3.1 Connecting RCB10+ to computer

To connect the RCB10+ to the computer, do the following:

1. Connect the USB cable to the USB connector on the RHC12 adapter and to the computer.

2. Connect the phono cable to the HC connector on the RCB10+ and to any of the HC connectors

on the RHC12 adapter.

3. Connect the hand control to any of the HC connectors on the RHC12 adapter.

4. Connect the actuators to the actuator connectors on the RCB10+.

The first time the RHC12 adapter is connected to the computer, installation of drivers

is required. This is done automatically if the computer is connected to the internet.

RHC12 adapter LEDs:

1. USB Power

2. PC tool

3. HC bus

3.3.2 Installing RST10

To install the RST10 software on your Windows computer, do the following:

1. Go to https://www.reac.se/products/control-systems/rst10/ and download the RST10 Software zip

file.

2. Extract the zip file.

3. Double-click the file named “setup”.

4. A guide takes you through the installation. Normally, there is no need to change the suggested

settings.

If there are limitations in installation rights on the computer, you can run the portable

RST10 version instead. Double-click the file named “portable”.

3.3.3 Setting parameters

To change and set the parameters, do the following:

1. Run the RST10 from the program start menu or by double-clicking the desktop icon.

2. On the top menu, select System > Maintain.

3. Select the correct COM port. Then click Next.

Remove the USB cable from the computer. One of the COM ports will disappear.

This is the one you should select when you have connected the USB cable again.

4. The software now collects information from all connected units. This takes some time. Wait until

the Receiving application window disappears.

5. Icons for the detected units appears to the left. Double-click the Cicon (control box). This displays

parameter groups for the RCB10+.
