Tipping Grid
There are various configuration options for JMG Systems Tipping grids, used to operate
functions such as belt feeders, tipping grid movements and so on.
Each remote control comes in various frequency options depending on location of use
worldwide – please ensure that the unit frequency is ordered correctly for the appropriate
region.
This section outlines basic operation of the grid system, as well as programming and setup
steps to vary timings for use.

Overview
Each Tipping Grid comes with a transmitter and a receiver. Remotes can have up to 8
different operating functions dependeant on the custoemr requirement.

Region Operating Decal


Frequency Colour
Europe (CE) 869 MHz Blue
USA/Canada 914 MHz Grey
Japan 426 MHz Yellow

To restart the grid cycle press button 1 again – note that the Grid cycle has to finish – if
the Grid has been stopped during the raise cycle it will continue upwards to the highest
position, before lowering again.
Operational Notes:
- The Remote Control transmitter has a 2 minute automatic turn off feature to save battery
life.
- The range of operation is up to 100metres but longer or shorter distances will depend on
the location of the Receiver box on the machine in relation to the Transmitter location.

Tipping Grid 17
- Surroundings may have an impact on range, and all units have been designed to operate
with an internal aerial.

Receiver functions – how to set timings


The time in which it takes the Grid to tip out material using the remote control, and the
angle that the Grid rises to, needs to be set when the system is first installed.
Ensure that the Engine is running and that the Grid is
fully down.
Locate the top button on the side of the Receiver Box
(A), and press this twice and release – press and hold
for a third time to enter the programming phase.
The Grid will start to rise – once it has reached the
required angle, release the button and the Grid will
stop.
Press the second button on the Receiver Box (B) twice
and release – press and hold button (B) for a third
time.
The Grid will lower its position … again once it has
reached the desired position release button (B) and
the Grid will stop.
The Upper and Lower settings for the grid will now be
set each time the Tipping Grid remote is in operation.

Receiver functions – how to operate grid manually


To raise and lower the grid manually using the receiver box use buttons (C) and (D)

Raise the Grid manually by pressing and holding button


(C) until the Grid reaches the desired position.
Release button (C) to stop the Grid motion.
Lower the Grid by pressing and holding button (D) until
the Grid is in the desired position.

Tipping Grid programming options


Each Remote Control Transmitter and Receiver has a unique operating code. If a Remote
Control or Receiver Box is replaced then the Receiver Box has to be programmed to
recognize the new Remote Control Transmitter.
If a Remote Control Transmitter is taken from one Machine or system and used to operate
another system, the original Receiver Box should be disabled by removing the 2 amp fuse
on the printed circuit board (see below).

18 Tipping Grid
Label the Receiver with instructions to reprogram it before putting it back into service.
Otherwise the situation could arise that one Remote Control will operate 2 different
systems.

The following section outlines the steps to re-program a receiver unit.

Remove the cover from the Receiver Box by unscrewing


the 4 fixing screws, as shown at (A).

Ensure that “LED1”, as shown at (E), is turned on. This


led indicates that the Receiver has a correct power
supply.

Set the “Program ID” switch, as shown at (C), to the


programming position by moving the switch lever to the
left position.

Press and release the “Program ID” push button, as shown


at (D). The “Program” LED, as shown at (B), will turn on.

Ensure that the Remote Control Transmitter is turned on.

Press and hold any button on the Remote Control


Transmitter (Except the "ON" button).
The “Program” LED, as shown at (B), will turn off and the
“Valid Signal” LED, as shown at (F), will turn on.
Note: Do not hold the Remote Control closer than 500mm
from the Receiver Box.

Release the Transmitter button.

Set the “Program ID” switch, as shown at (C), to the


operating position by moving the switch lever to the right
position.

Replace the lid on the Receiver Box and tighten the 4


mounting screws.

Tipping Grid – Care and maintenance


The Remote Control should be kept in a safe location and protected from falling debris
and water contamination. If the Remote Control is being operated from a loader then it
may be possible to clip or secure the Transmitter to the loader's sun visor or some other
suitable fixture. To do this use the belt clip located on the rear of the Remote Control
housing.
Ensure that the Remote Control is protected from vibration or impact damage.

Tipping Grid 19
If the Remote Control gets damaged, tampered with or malfunctions in any way it should
be disabled immediately by removing the batteries. It should then be replaced and/or
returned to JMG Systems for examination.

The Tipping Grid Remote Control battery life depends on its frequency of use.
Low batteries are indicated when the LED on the Remote Control goes dim. When a button
is pressed and/or the functions do not operate.
When this happens the batteries should be replaced immediately. The batteries consist of
2 x 1.5volt AAA alkaline batteries located in the rear of the Remote Control.
Before replacing Transmitter batteries turn off the Receiver Box by disconnecting its
power supply.
To replace the batteries:

1. Undo the 3mm screw securing the battery compartment cover at the rear of the Remote
Control.
2. To remove the cover - raise the end adjacent to the belt clip on the Transmitter and
swing the cover out and lift off.
3. Remove the exhausted batteries.
4. Fit 2 new AAA size alkaline batteries taking special care to ensure that the battery
polarity symbols align with the corresponding symbols embossed on the base of the battery
compartment. Incorrect polarity may damage the Transmitter. Do not mix old and new
batteries.
5. Refit the cover by engaging the small catches at the bottom edge of the cover with the
slots on the lower edge of the battery compartment and then fold the cover towards the
belt clip.
6. Secure the cover with the 3mm screw.

Troubleshooting Guide
The following section outlines some of the basic checks to take when faults are reported
by the system.
Prior to commencing any of the steps outlined in the following sections it is recommended
that operators are fully aligned with the safety operations of the machine involved.
To successfully carry out the various checks suggested in this manual, certain test
instruments are essential. The following details the basic requirements in this respect. It
should be noted that in addition to these instruments a comprehensive kit of tools is also
essential. For fault finding purposes this need not include any specialised tools.
Item 1 – Digital Multimeter
The Multimeter is a comprehensive test instrument for measuring voltage, current and
resistance. It should be capable of measuring the following ranges:-
Voltage AC 0-250-500-1000 Volts

Voltage DC 0-25-100-250 Volts

Amperes DC 0-10 Amps

DC Resistance 0-10k (ohms) or 0-2k (ohms)

0-100k (ohms) or 0-20k (ohms)

0-1M (ohms) or 0-200k (ohms)

Item 2 – Tachometer or Frequency meter


This instrument can be used for measuring the shaft speed of the alternator and should be
capable of measuring speeds between 0 and 5000 revolutions per minute, (RPM).
An alternative to the tachometer is a frequency meter - however the alternator must be
generating its normal output voltage for this instrument to be accurate.
