The Cattron-Theimeg CS (Crane Specific) system provides industry with a high performance, low-cost digital Portable Radio Remote Control (PRRC) alternative. The CS system is a low-cost product that is easy to install and maintain. Designed to be ready for use right "off-the-shelf", the CS is perfect for overhead cranes and other types of machinery with reversing motors. It does not require an operating license and can be easily installed and ready for use at the job site in a relatively short period of time.

The CS System offers the end user up to 65,000 different addresses; thus, the chance for duplicate operating addresses is minimal to none. In addition, the CS offers "Output Relay Interlocking." This feature insures that the directional relays are interlocked to allow only one closure at a time, e.g., Forward or Reverse. The CS System is comprised of two primary components: a receiver/decoder with relay interface and a choice of either Cattron-Theimeg's MK or PS controller / transmitters. (See Controller Page for complete information on the MK and PS controllers).

The receiver/decoder and output relays are all laid out on a single circuit board housed within a compact, NEMA 12, IP65 steel enclosure. The single board design provides a simple way to change all of the electronics should a repair be required. The decoder makes extensive use of the microcomputer's self-diagnostic capabilities by using a two character display to show system status. The output relays are rated for heavy industrial loads, both resistive and inductive. A secondary contact on each directional relay is used by the decoder to sense and verify each of the radio transmitter commands. Should a fault condition be detected in the directional relays, the OPR and all motion outputs will be disabled. Automatic Safety Override (ASO) is a safety feature in most Cattron-Theimeg systems.

Key Features:

  • Low cost, simple to install - no operating license required
  • 2, 3, and 4 reversing motor control
  • Multiple, user-selectable RF frequencies (synthesized radio technology)
  • Up to 65,000 operating addresses
  • Output directional relay interlocking
  • High message security using digital FM radio
  • Power-on self-diagnostics to protect against lost or interfering signals
  • Multiple watchdog timers and Automatic Safety Override(ASO) Output verification on directional relays
