Wireless deadman series trigger switch radio remote control is particularly developed for industrial applications that requires positive operator-to-machine contact. A wireless trigger-switch is specially used to send RF command signals to the pump.

The system incorporates a secure frequency hopping, spread-spectrum radio connection that is almost immune to outside electrical or RF interference. The system automatically shuts down with any loss of signal from transmitter. The rechargeable transmitter can supply 30hrs of continuous use between charges. The operator is unencumbered by cables and wires normally used in deadman fueling operations.

This wireless industrial remote control has safety timer software that is available to limit switch closure duration prior to automatic shut-off. This characteristic needed periodic trigger pulsation by operator to maintain receiver 'on' condition. It is up to eleven other command functions available per customer requirements. The modular quick-connect components allow for easy installation and field service. Now pre-wired solenoids are available for Pneumatic, Hydraulic, ...
... or Hose Reel devices and in-cab computer interface.

There are some additional control buttons options that are given below, these are:

The hose reel option allows remote Unwind and/or Rewind control greatly reducing effort required to pull the hose off the reel. The possible injury is condensed and productivity is increased through easier hose handling. These remote devices are really easy to install prewired hose reel motor solenoids and 70Amp breaker included with this option. The system design prevents Unwind and Rewind circuits from being energized.

Now the Pump option extends pump life and increases safety by allowing operator to engage and disengage the PTO and PUMP from hose end at customer's storage tank. The truck PTO shaft is not rotating, pump is not running in by-pass, and hose is not charged unless linked to the customer’s tank. The PTO association can be electric, pneumatic, "hot shift" or "clutch shift".

The remote PTO delay option automatically opens tank internal valve 5 seconds prior to engaging PTO allowing pump and product lines to equalize pressure. This feature prevents an excess flow 'slug' situation which when happens, starves the pump of manufactured goods, and may lead to pump failure.

Engine RPM or THROTTLE option allows operator to increase/ decrease truck engine RPM and corresponding pump volume from the customers tank/ hose-end of the delivery. The operator can begin delivery process, ensure product is flowing safely, and then increase pump speed until tank is nearly full. These connections are available for any electronic or mechanical engine system.

The enable option can be specified to create a 'two-step' process for activating certain buttons to further prevent unintended button operation. There is an emergency stop bottom feature closes all tank valves, truck engine and pump.

The tank valves and pump to remain inoperative until a manual system reset is performed. Now pressing the E-Stop button repeatedly will send the same 'shut-down' signal. This device meets global regulatory necessities and is available for all types of pneumatic, cable operated or "Flowmatic" type tank valves and all truck engines.
