Spectrum E is the new high-end entry in HBC-radiomatic’s Spectrum series. The radio control has space for a large number of operating elements and features. The device is suited for applications with exceptionally large function ranges, such as bucket excavators, special transport vehicles and drilling machines.
This transmitter is 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs.) and has a newly developed housing in the Spectrum design. In contrast to the special housings used up until now, it has much more compact dimensions.
The control is available with up to six joysticks or 10 linear levers as well as numerous push buttons, toggle or rotary switches (maintained or spring-return). As with many Spectrum transmitters, the operating elements can be set in different combinations. An individually configurable 3.5? color TFT shows important machine data, status information, and warnings, depending on the customer’s requirements. A newly developed Li-ion exchange battery has 18 hours of continuous operation at any one time.
It also features a newly developed live video transmission and user identification with the HBC data logger. As well as the radiomatic CPS (Continuous Power Supply) designed to allow interruption free machine operations. This function allows the operator to replace the battery without interrupting power. The control also has a range of HBC features like tandem operation and different frequency management systems.
The new Technos 2 has a 3.5? TFT and colour display as well as an ergonomic housing. The transmitter’s optional features include live video transmission with video camera for the safe control of machines in areas with limited view
Depending on the customer’s requirements, Technos 2 is available with diverse combinations of up to three HBC joysticks and with a z-axis switch for three drive commands, up to eight linear levers, and numerous other switches and buttons. With the display activated, the transmitter offers up to eighteen hours of continuous operating time.
Technos 2 is available with several HBC Smart Options, such as an integrated LED flashlight. This is useful if the operator changes positions in conditions with limited lighting. Further options include the user identification with data logger, the micro/orthogonal drive for demanding driving maneuvers, as well as several fully or partially automated frequency management systems. With all these options, Technos 2 can be entirely configured according to the customer’s wishes.
Uses range from multi-functional tower cranes to stone crushers and telehandlers, from magnet cranes to logistic vehicles and container transporters.
Both controls have a video function that works with up to eight powerful and robust video cameras simultaneously. They can be installed in a good location on the machine and the working environment, and can then transmit the working situation in high-resolution images directly to the transmitter’s 3.5in TFT with a range of up to 150m over a separate radio link. The images are shown on the non-reflecting TFT with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. This means the operator always has a perfect view of the application and working area and can operate precisely and safely, even in demanding situations.
Another feature is the integrated day/night-switching. As soon as the illumination of the working area falls below a pre-determined value, the cameras automatically switch to several infrared LEDs. This means that the operator can also work when it is dark. In order to take perfect advantage of the versatile possibilities of the 3.5in TFT, it is also possible to switch back to the standard data indication on the display.
