Remotus Jupiter is Åkerströms’ standardized remote-control product line. These rugged, reliable products are developed for most of today’s cranes and overhead cranes and for other types of machine control. They’re used, for example, in manufacturing, steel works, mines, and metal and processing industries.

Easy to install and get started
The Jupiter line offers various transmitters and receivers to choose from—depending on usage area. One is a simpler version, which handles three movements at two speeds and contains an extra function. The other is a more sophisticated version, which handles three movements at two speeds and contains three extra functions. You can order joystick and pushbutton transmitters for both versions.

Rugged and reliable
The Remotus Jupiter product line is built to tolerate tough industrial environments. Environments that are often plagued by drastic temperature differences, dust, vibrations, oil, and humidity. Design and material selection set the stage for making these Åkerströms’ products more rugged than ever before. Enormous emphasis was put on ergonomically designed transmitters—to facilitate ease of use.

Secure radio transmission
Jupiter enables top security during radio message transmissions and runs a cyclic redundancy check on all 16 bits. The receiver has double microprocessors that monitor each other. A message is checked before the relay function goes out into the receiver. Command errors don’t occur and security increases. Diagnostic testing is done during operation. The system uses the general frequency band at 433 MHz. Several functions enable operators to automatically connect transmitters and receivers on an available frequency and to share the same frequency band.

Easily configured and functional
Configuration of button functions, frequency, shutdown time, and remaining or momentary functions, is easily done from the pushbuttons. Users can configure the transmitters via computers with ordinary terminal programs. And they can store Jupiter transmitter configurations on a configuration information module (CIM) card. That way, a transmitter’s configuration can be effortlessly moved to another transmitter, for example, when a reserve transmitter replaces the current transmitter. The CIM card is secured during operations but easily accessible via a service shutter.

The easy-to-use Jupiter 100J/150J is well designed from an ergonomics perspective. Various carrier options are available. Joysticks and rubber bumpers on these transmitters were modified for further improved reliability. Built-in self-test for all functions. Constructed to tolerate challenging environments. Jupiter 150J is also available with trolley selection function.

Operators can use the rugged, Jupiter push button transmitters indoors or outdoors. Protective, IP65-classified rubber bumpers make the transmitters extra shock-proof. They have large, legible, durable buttons and 8/10, two-stage buttons that enable double functions for each push button. The buttons are designed for easy maneuverability when operators wear gloves. LEDs on each button indicate selected function. A separate LED indicates storage battery status and operation. Transmitter 10B has a trolley selection function.

Receiver RX131

This receiver has 13 outputs, with switching relays; 116 dB siren optional. The receiver also has 9, preprogrammed, dial-selected applications for various standard cranes and objects-plus synthesis radio with a frequency on the 433 MHz band. The receiver has double processors that monitor each other. A message is checked before the relay function goes out into the receiver. Command errors don’t occur and security increases.
