"Lift to Operate" (LTO) Toggle Switch
LTO toggle switches must be lifted from their static
positions in order for the switch to be activated. LTO
toggle switches can be "maintained" or "momentary".
This feature is mechanically activated and is available
on Nova, GL, and GR transmitters.
Tilt Sensor Switch
The tilt sensor switch activates if the transmitter is tilted
more than 30 or 45 degrees from level. The switch has
a delay time of 0-5 seconds.The delay time is set at the
factory to customer specifications. If this switch senses
an unacceptable tilt for as long as the time delay is set,
the transmitter either sends the E-stop signal to the
receiver or enables/disables certain functions
according to customer specifications. This safety
device is useful if the operator is in danger of losing his
footing or control of the transmitter. It is available on GL
and GR transmitters.
Range Limitation
This feature uses a RF signal to restrict operator
movement to a predetermined range limit. It can be
preset at the factory, or adjusted in the field.
Interlocking Functions
This feature prevents contradictory operator
commands from the transmitter. Certain functions can
be enabled or disabled when another function is
activated or inactive. An example is hoist up and hoist
down. Activating both functions would most likely
damage the equipment. Therefore, hoist up is
interlocked with hoist down so that when one is
activated the other can not be. The systems are
capable of interlocking any functions.
