Description
The RANGER 4 is fast and smooth; it responds in 0.05 seconds and feathers all of the crane functions. Installation is simple with our illustrated manual.
Four proportional paddles control the winch and boom, and additional toggle switches drive the auxiliary functions and boom speed selection.
There is a key switch mounted on the side for turning the transmitter on and off, as well as starting the engine. Side-mounted, sealed pushbuttons are used for increasing and decreasing the engine RPM, as well as for the horn. Enable buttons are on the transmitter and are required to be pressed in order to operate the crane, as a safety feature along with the Emergency Stop switch.
The belly pack transmitter has the ability to run over an included tether cable in the event of a dead battery, and all functions can be manually controlled on the receiver/control box, or even using the manual levers.
These radios are proven safe and secure. The CAN actuators that control the valves are fast and precise to 0.01” with 90 pounds of force. They are environmentally hardened for all weather. An internal clutch allows local operation of the valve handles without any effort when not in active wireless operation.
This control is tough – all electronics are silicone dip-coated or encapsulated, every switch, joystick, and enclosure is sealed, and the transmitter is molded out of a high-impact rated plastic ready to take a beating on a job site.
Each CAN RANGER 4 System includes:
:: PACKER Series Transmitter (PN: A3B1902F)
:: Radio Receiver (PN: A3B1903C)
:: 4 Linear Actuators (PN: A1A0014E)
:: 4 Mounting Hardware Kit (PN: A3B087MA),
:: Pre-Made Wiring Harness (PN: A3B1906B)
:: CAN Car Charger (PN: AB20032C)
:: Throttle Actuator (ask for separately)
| PACKER Series Transmitter (P/N: A3B1902E) |
This PACKER Series radio transmitter is a belly-pack style enclosure molded out of a very durable high-impact plastic that’s durable from -40 to +185F (as are all components, including the electronics!). It contains switches for winch speed, boom speed, and two-basket leveling (or use them for an auxiliary function). It has four fully-proportional paddles for smooth control of your winch, boom elevation, boom rotation, and boom extension. There are buttons to enable the horn, RPM pushbuttons, an E-Stop switch, and a three-position key switch for power and engine start – just like your car. It runs off of internal rechargeable batteries that provide approximately 20 hours of operating life between charges. A high-quality padded shoulder strap is included. |
| Radio Receiver (P/N: A3B1903C) |
This radio receiver module directly drives the actuators, crane switches, and all engine functions with two simple plug-and-play front-panel-mounted sealed connectors. It provides all outputs based on transmitter commands. The ARM-powered receiver is housed in a sealed polycarbonate enclosure with industry-standard sealed Deutsch connectors. All I/O are protected against reverse battery connections, transient voltage spikes, short circuits, and overload. The system has an onboard backlit 2×16 character display for easy setup and configuration, manual backup, diagnostics, calibration, and histogram, driven by four sealed pushbutton switches. In addition to driving the actuators, it has multiple outputs for various throttle control types, and outputs for engine start, engine stop, horn, and basket tilt (or auxiliary). RS-232 is on-board for configuration as well. |
| 4 Linear Actuators (P/N: A1A0014C) |
These CAN-enabled actuators provide 90 inch-pounds of force with a 3” maximum stroke, and a built-in processor for precise control of hydraulic valves. They have an internal clutch to enable freewheeling back to the center position when the joystick is released or power is lost as a safety feature, and are fully weather-sealed. |
| 4 Mounting Hardware Kit (P/N: A1A0018A) |
This kit is comprised of 4 adjustable linkage rods and clevises for connecting the actuators to the valve handles. The steel bracket is supplied by the installer. |
| Pre-Made Wiring Harness (P/N: A3B1906B) |
This pre-made harness is designed to snap into each system component for an effortless installation with two sealed toggle switches for left and right pedestal remote power. All wires and connectors are labeled for easy identification. All sealed connectors are used, and cables loom together where required for a clean, plug-and-play installation. Crane connections such as RPM, horn, etc. are terminated in flying leads. |
| CAN Car Charger |
Car charger for Kar-Tech remotes terminated in 5-pin circular screw-on connector. (P/N: AB20032B) |
