RANGER II HANDHELD OVERVIEW
The Wireless Control System is comprised of two major components;
the handheld device (Ranger II) and the receiver unit. The handheld
device is the portable unit which the operator keeps by his side and
uses to send wireless commands back to the receiver to make the
desired operational changes.
The handheld unit is designed to IP66
standards for a robust, custom designed
ergonomic unit. It uses large buttons which
provide positive tactile feedback when
operated. Two (2) LED indicators are used
to give the operator confirmation of signal
transmission during button presses and
also to warn of low batteries. An audible
‘beep’ alarm will also indicate a low battery
condition. The handheld is powered by a
rechargeable lithium battery. Each system
ordered includes a charging cradle to
securely hold the handheld while the
vehicle is in motion, and provide necessary
charging to the handheld.
The Ranger II handheld can be equipped with different radio
technologies depending on your application requirements. Currently,
only one radio technology is available: Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK).
The operating frequency along with other characteristics of this radio
technology is outlined in the following table.

The handheld and receiver are pre-programmed to operate as a

The handheld will wake up when any key is pressed and will go back
to sleep mode as soon as the button is released.
