Characteristics and design
2 Characteristics and design
2.1 Characteristics
The infrared manual remote control FB-706 is used to manually control and remote control controllers that have the accompanying software and are fitted with a infrared interface.
The FB-706 supports two IR transmission speeds. Therefore it is compatible with vehicle controllers of the 5xx, 6xx and 7xx series as well as vehicle controllers of the latest generation 8xx.
The remote control permits the switching of controllers to manual mode (hand mode) so that e.g. a vehicle can be moved manually using various commands. In this context, it is possible to address vehicles by means of vehicle numbers so that individual vehicles can be selectively activated.
Commands such as “Travel forwards/backwards” and “Hoist/Lower” can be given by pressing the relevant buttons.
It is also possible to acknowledge errors using the manual remote control.
The various commands are transmitted to the controller using coded IR signals. These signals are controller-dependent.
Functions! The functions of the manual remote control are specific to projects. The assignment of buttons to your controller is given in the separate descriptions to your controller.

Characteristics and design
2.2 Design
The housing of the infrared remote control FB-706 is made of impact-resistant plastic and is
handy to carry around using the waist belt clip attached to its back.
The 12 buttons on the remote control are embossed on the keypad, which helps prevent the
buttons from being accidentally pressed with the correct amount of pressure.
The FB-706 has an easy-to-read four-digit LED display.
(left segment = mode display; three selection segments)
IR transmit diodes for infrared transmission are located at the front of the device.
The power is supplied by a 9V block battery. The battery can be changed in the battery
compartment on the underside of the device.

3 Operation of the FB-706
Warning! Risk due to improper use! Improper operation can lead to serious damage to persons or property. During manual operation, ensure that there is no risk to persons from the manual operation and that there are no persons in the working area of the vehicle.
3.1 Functioning
The 12 operating buttons on the remote control are used to remote control controllers and to acknowledge errors. The commands are transmitted via infrared. For remote control or acknowledge errors, the IR transmit cone must be directed with a tolerance of +/- 16° towards the display window of the controller. The range of the remote control to the receiver is at least 6 m.
± 16 °
at least 6 m
Note! The vehicle number of the vehicle to be addressed may be input in the mode vehicle selection (F) so as to prevent the unintended activation of other controllers.
3.2 Switching On/Off
Switch on the remote control by pressing the ON/OFF ESC button. Switch off the remote control by pressing the ON/OFF ESC button for a few seconds.

3.3 Selection of modes and button functions
3.3.1 Overview
The Infrared Manual Remote Control FB-706 has five modes that can be selected by repeatedly pressing the ON/OFF ESC button on the remote control.
The currently active mode is shown in the left segment of the remote control display.
Mode S L F C d
Description Fast infrared Slow infrared Vehicle selection Command Dimming the LED display
Note! The function S, L, F or C only works if it has been implemented in the controller software.
3.3.2 Mode S Fast infrared
Mode is used to remote control controllers with fast infrared. Transmission rate 62500 bit/s, e.g. controllers of the series 6xx, 7xx and 8xx. When F mode is selected, the vehicle number of the vehicle to be operated is displayed in the
three segments on the right and only this vehicle receives the command. A zero indicates that the command has been sent to all the vehicles. Operation by remote control is done using the #,,,,, buttons. A command specified in C mode is sent using button 1.
3.3.3 Mode L Slow infrared
Mode is used to remote control controllers with slow infrared. Transmission rate 9600 bit/s, e.g. controllers of the series 5xx. When F mode is selected, the vehicle number of the vehicle to be operated is displayed in the
three segments on the right and only this vehicle receives the command. A zero indicates that the command has been sent to all the vehicles. Operation by remote control is done using the #,,,,, buttons. A command specified in C mode is sent using button 1.

Operation of the FB-706
3.3.4 Mode F Vehicle selection
A vehicle number can be input in this mode. Commands are sent only to this vehicle. Inputting “000” will cause a reset and all vehicles will again be addressed.
3.3.5 Mode C Command
In addition to standard remote control commands, the remote control also allows numerical commands to be given to the vehicle controller.
The command is transmitted in S/L modes using the button 1.
3.3.6 Mode d Dimming the LED display
The brightness of the display in the FB-706 can be set in this mode.
Increase brightness
Decrease brightness
The brightness level is shown in the display. “0” corresponds to the highest brightness level.
Note! If no button is pressed for more than 5 seconds, even during a transmission procedure, the display is dimmed automatically. (power saving mode)

Operation of the FB-706
3.4 Remote control
Devices with Conductix/LJU controllers can be operated remotely via the infrared interface in the controller display using the remote control. That means functions like driving can be manually controlled using them.
To switch the controller in manual mode (hand mode) press the button of the remote control. If the controller is in a manual operating mode, this is displayed by a flashing “H” in the controller display.
Button assignment! The functions of the buttons are specific to projects. An example is shown in the following table. The assignment of buttons to your controller is given in the separate descriptions to your controller.
Example button assignment:
Button *
Function
Switching to manual mode resp. error reset
#
Normal mode (automatic mode)
Travel forward slow
Travel forward fast
Travel backward slow
Travel backward fast
Hoisting slow
Hoisting fast
Lowering slow
Lowering fast
* two buttons: press the buttons simultaneously
Note! Special function -button! Normally commands are buffered by the controller software. Release all buttons and press the -button immediately, the last command is breaking (clear buffer memory) and the movement will be stopped immediately.
3.5 Acknowledge errors
By switching the controller in manual mode “H” and back to automatic mode errors can be acknowledged. Only acknowledge errors after troubleshooting.
