Query
This feature requires that the operator periodically press a ‘query’ button on the remote control to keep the pumping system active. If the operator fails to press the query button within a factory specified time, an audible warning is first sounded followed by activation of the truck’s Emergency Stop system. The operator must press the query button during the delivery or audible warning period to reset the timer.
SafeLink Operation
During normal operation, the handheld will communicate continuously with the receiver. If the handheld goes out of range or the signal is lost for any reason SafeLink will cause the equipment to shutdown. If the operator experiences a shutdown triggered by SafeLink, he can resume operation by moving back within range and pressing the ‘ON’ button again. the system will return to normal operation. This safety feature prevents the operator from losing contact with the receiver and being unable to activate E-Stop.
