HR 550FS wireless handwheel

Application

With the HR 550FS wireless handwheel and its radio transmission characteristics, you can move farther away from the machine operating panel than with other handwheels. The HR 550FS wireless handwheel thus provides an important benefit, in particular for large machines.

Description of function

The HR 550FS wireless handwheel comes fitted with a rechargeable battery. The battery starts charging when you place the handwheel into the holder.

The HRA 551FS handwheel holder and the HR 550FS handwheel together form one function unit.

The HR 550FS handwheel can be operated by battery for up to eight hours before it needs recharging. A completely discharged handwheel takes approx. three hours for a full charge. When you do not use the HR 550FS, always place it into the handwheel holder. This charges the handwheel battery constantly and a direct connection with the emergency-stop circuit is provided.

When the handwheel is in its holder, it provides the same functionality as during radio mode. This allows you to use a completely discharged handwheel.

 
Tip

Clean the contacts of the handwheel holder and handwheel regularly to ensure their proper functioning.

If the control has triggered an emergency stop, you must reactivate the handwheel.

Reactivating the handwheel

If you happen to get close to the limit of the transmission range, the HR 550FS will set off a vibrating alarm. If this occurs, you must reduce the distance to the handwheel holder.

Note

 
Danger
Caution: hazard to the user!
Wireless handwheels, due to their rechargeable batteries and the influence of other wireless devices, are more susceptible to interference than cable-bound connections are. Ignoring the requirements for and information about safe operation leads to endangerment of the user, for example during installation or maintenance work.
  1. Check the radio connection of the handwheel for possible overlapping with other wireless devices
  2. Switch off the wireless handwheel and the handwheel holder after an operating time of 120 hours at the latest so that the control can run a functional test when it is restarted
  3. If more than one wireless handwheel is being used in a workshop, then ensure an unambiguous assignment between the handwheels and the handwheel holders (such as with color-coded stickers)
  4. If more than one wireless handwheel is being used in a workshop, then ensure an unambiguous assignment between the handwheels and the respective machine (such as with a functional test)
