DESCRIPTION
The CAN RANGER is a state of
the art microprocessor based
Radio Fre uency (RF) control
system. It will provide the
operator the ability to
remotely operate e uipment.
The operator is re uired to
follow all OSHA www.osha.gov
safety standards when
operating the e uipment.
This system is designed with
Fre uency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) and Phase
Lock Loop (PLL) technology
for the optimum performance
in radio remote products.
The remote control system
consists of several modules:
the radio transmitter, receiver
module, actuators, wiring
harnesses, charger and
associated optional e uipment
such as Palm™ interface tools.
The transmitter is e uipped
with joysticks and toggle
switches for various functions.
It includes a port for charging
the internal battery.
The system’s radio receiver is
designed with 8 ON/OFF
outputs to drive the Horn,
Engine Start, Engine Stop,
RPM+, RPM-, Basket Tilt up,
Basket Tilt Down, Auxiliary
and an Analog RPM. There
are inputs for various options
like ATB/ Swing CW STOP and
OVL/Swing CCW STOP. All
outputs are protected for over
load and short circuit.
The receiver also includes a
CAN bus for communicating
with the CAN Actuators.
CAN RANGER OPERATION

The receiver has an RS-232
communication port to
interface with an optional
Palm Pilot diagnostic tool.
The CAN RANGER system
drives and controls the
position of the actuators with
respect to the position of the
transmitter joysticks. The
actuators in turn control the
appropriate valves.
The receiver will automatically
detect the system voltage and
adjust for either 12V or 24V
vehicles.
SYSTEM OPERATION
In the wiring harness, there
are two switches for REMOTE
POWER. They provide power
to the CAN Ranger Receiver if
both are ON. Turning either
switches OFF will power down
the CAN Ranger, and the CAN
Actuators.
To turn on the transmitter,
turn the key switch to the ON
position. To turn it off, turn
the key switch to the OFF
position.
The E-STOP button on the
transmitter must be up to
start engine and operate any
functions. To operate the
boom and winch, press
ENABLE and HORN for at least
1 second. After 1 second, you
can release HORN and use
ENABLE when you want to
operate a function. If the
ENABLE is not used for longer
than 1 minute, you must start
again with both ENABLE and
HORN as before.

If the transmitter is on, and
one or more of the valve
handles/actuators is moved
off center beyond the Engine
Stop position, by means other
than the transmitter (for
example if a spring return
fails or someone moves a
handle) the CAN Ranger will
stop the engine. This is a
safety feature to protect the
person using the transmitter
from someone else operating
the machine without their
knowledge. The Engine STOP
position is configurable for
each valve handle, and for
each direction. They can be
configured via the PALM or by
following the ACTUATOR
CALIBRATION procedure
listed below. NOTE: The
Engine Stop values must be
between 90% and 10% of the
FAST value.
When turning off the
transmitter the STOP ENGINE
output will activate for about
5s and then turn off to
energize the Engine stop relay
on the harness. This action
will open the NC contact on
the relay to stop the engine.
The normal configuration for
the actuators is to have the
actuators release the manual
handles when a function is not
active, or when in E-Stop
mode. For valves with weak
springs, the corresponding
actuator can be configured to
automatically return back to
center.
In order to operate the crane
manually with at least one
actuator in Auto Center mode
enabled, turn off the Receiver.
Otherwise the actuator will

continue to center the
valve/handle.
TRANSMITTER AND
RECEIVER
SYNCHRONIZATION
Each radio transmitter is
preprogrammed with a uni ue
radio ID code. Each receiver is
programmed to respond only
to the radio transmitter with
the ID code for which it is set.
This feature allows multiple
systems to work in close
proximity to one another
without interference. In the
event that a transmitter
becomes damaged and a new
one is needed, the receiver
can be reprogrammed to
respond to the new radio
transmitter. To teach the ID
code to the receiver, use the
following procedure:
1. Receiver and
transmitter power
should be off
2. Press E-STOP switch,
position BOOM toggle
switch to NORMAL,
WINCH switch to FAST,
and BASKET LEVELING
to AUTO
3. Press and hold HORN
button (on side) and all
joysticks down (pull
joysticks)
4. Turn transmitter
POWER on.
5. Release joysticks, Twist
to release the E-Stop
switch. At this point
LEDs on transmitter
should toggle.
6. Apply power to receiver

LEDs on transmitter will
stop toggling and the
green LED will blink
rapidly to indicate that
the teach is complete
INDICATORS
The transmitter has four
indicators. The red
BATTERY/DIAGNOSTIC
indicator, the green
TRANSMIT indicator on top,
and the red and green battery
charger indicators on the side
next to the connector. The
green TRANSMIT indicator
flashes rapidly whenever
there is communication
between the transmitter and
the receiver. The red
BATTERY indicator starts
blinking once every second
when the battery voltage is
low and re uires charging.
If the ATB Input is enabled
in calibration and the ATB
input is driven high (12/24V),
the red and green LEDs on
the transmitter will Flash
Alternately while using a
joystick.
If the OVERLOAD Input is
enabled in calibration and the
input is driven high (12/24V),
the red and green LEDs on
the transmitter will flash
together while using a
joystick.
If the Automatic Tilt feature
has been enabled, the
optional basket angle sensor
needs to be attached to the
transmitter’s charging/CAN
connector. Then the Tilt
Switch should be placed in the
AUTO position to operate.
Switching to Manual mode
disables the feature. To tare

(or zero) the angle sensor,
position the bucket to what
you want level to be. NOTE:
This must be within 5 degrees
of what the sensor thinks is 0.
Then with the transmitter and
receiver on, push E-STOP
down, AUTO TILT, AUX off,
Crane Speed Slow. Then hold
Tilt Up and press the HORN.
The receiver module can
identify problems with the
system in the form of an error
code. Check the red indicator
or display window under the
HISTOGRAM screens to see
the errors. The green LED
indicator will blink on the
receiver during normal
operation.
The display on the receiver
can provide the user with
diagnostic information, and
can be used to set up the
system. The 5 push buttons
on the controller are used to
navigate through the screens.
The five main menus are
DIAGNOSTIC, CALIBRATION,
HISTOGRAM, LCD CONTRAST
and LOCAL OPERATION.
The DIAGNOSTIC menu lets
you see the status of the
inputs and the outputs.
The CALIBRATION Menu lets
you set up the actuators, the
engine RPM, and the other
options.
The HISTOGRAM Menu lets
you check the errors. You can
check on just the active
errors, all the errors, or clear
the error counts.

The LCD CONTRAST Menu
lets you adjust the LCD
Contrast.
The LOCAL OPERATION
Menu lets you use the
Receiver’s buttons to
manually control the
actuators. This option is used
for e uipment without manual
override valve handles.
Use the Left and Right arrows
to select the actuator you
want to control. Hold the SET
button to activate the selected
actuator. Use the Up and
Down arrows to extend and
retract the actuator.
OUTPUTS
Each of the outputs from the
receiver module is designed
with built-in short circuit and
overload protection. The
outputs can also detect a no-
load or broken wire condition.
These error conditions are
evident by the red LED
indicator or the alphanumeric
display on the receiver
module or the HISTOGRAM
page on the optional Palm
Pilot™.
The RPM outputs can be used
as either ON/OFF (RPM +/-),
or variable RPM for connection
to ECM. Analog RPMs provided
are: PWM, inverted PWM or
DC voltage output. There are
preset parameters for
different type of engines (i.e.
Cummins engine) under RPM
calibration.
The ON/OFF outputs will
indicate an error under no
load or broken wire status if

NOT activated, and will detect
a short IF activated. The
proportional outputs will
detect a no-load or short
condition WHEN activated.
BATTERY CHARGING
The transmitter is designed
with a smart battery charger.
The battery can be charged
by connecting the transmitter
to an AC wall charger or a car
charger. The red and green
LED indicators near the
charging port indicate the
status of the charger: The red
LED indicates that the battery
is charging and green LED
indicates that the battery is
fully charged. A complete
charge can be achieved in
about 1 hour.
To save battery life, the
transmitter will turn off when
none of the switches or
joysticks (if e uipped) is used
for period of 10 minutes. The
user must recycle power to
restore transmitter operation.
However, the transmitter will
stay on as long as the
receiver has power applied to
it.
When the battery is new, the
run-time of the transmitter
will be shorter until it has
gone through the
drain/charge cycle several
times. After this point, the
unit’s current drain should
allow at least 20 hours of run-
time before a recharge is
needed.
