The 

ORIGA

 

T150 / R130 

is a portable, long range, programmable radio remote control system.  Designed as a compact 

and easy-to-use product, this member of the 

ORIGA

 family puts complete control of your crane where it’s needed most, 

with the operator.  It’s robust, easy to install and has complete self-diagnostics.  This system can be a simple cable re-
placement or add intelligence to make it a total crane control package.  It’s a radio, a PLC and a valve driver all in one. 

 

The 

ORIGA

 

T150 / R130 

system uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology.  FHSS devices con-

centrate their full power into a very narrow signal that randomly hops from frequency to frequency within a designated 
band.  This transmission pattern, along with CRC-16 error-checking techniques, enables signals to overcome interfer-
ence that commonly affects licensed radios. 

 

The R130 receiver

 is designed to be powered from a 12VDC or 24VDC system.  It features 4 solid state, high-side driver 

input / output controls and a reliable E-Stop control. 

 

The T150 transmitter

 comes with 4 to 6 switches and an optional proportional trigger control.  It uses standard, long 

lasting AA batteries.  Each T150 transmitter uses a unique ID code to ensure that no two systems will conflict at a job 
site.

Mounting and Installation 

 

The receiver can be mounted by fastening two ¼” bolts through the two mounting holes in the unit’s enclosure.  When 
mounting, ensure that the receiver is oriented so that the text is reading right and the connectors pointing “down”.  
 

When selecting a mounting point for the receiver, it is recommended that the location require only a minimal 
length of wiring to connect it to the control panel, that it will be in a visible area where it has good exposure to 
the operator and that it is mounted on a surface that is protected from the weather and sustains minimal vibra-
tion.  It is also recommended that the receiver have the best possible line of sight with the transmitter 

Power Connections and Wiring 

 

Whenever a power connection is made to an electronic device, it is a good practice to make both the Power (+) and 
Ground (-) connections directly to the Battery and avoid connecting the power from the charging side of existing wiring or 
making use of existing "ACC" or other peripheral connection points. 
 
Make sure that wire of sufficient gauge and insulator type is used when connecting the outputs of the receiver to the con-
trol panel.  Observe any component manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for proper integration of their 
product.  This includes the power ratings and requirements of such components as relays, valves, solenoids, etc. 
 
Be sure to test each of the outputs with a multi-meter prior to connecting the outputs to your end devices. This will ensure 
that each output has been programmed to operate in the manner required by each end device. 
 

Filtering and Noise Suppression 

 
Whenever a solenoid or electromagnetic switch is controlled by the receiver, it is a good practice to install a Diode across 
its terminals to ensure that surges and spikes do not continue back into the circuit. Appropriate 36V Bi-directional Diodes 
kits can be ordered under the OMNEX part number “AKIT-2492-01”. 

 Special Functions 

 Installation Considerations 

NOTE: 

The FCC and ISC require that the antenna be restricted to that supplied by the manufacturer and approved for use with this product. An op-

tional 0dB coax wire antenna may be supplied. For other antenna options, please contact OMNEX Control Systems ULC

When the receiver has been installed, install batteries into the transmitter and turn it on as ex-
plained below. 

 

1.   Install Batteries 

 

Remove the battery cover on the back of the transmitter using a slotted screwdriver and insert 4 "AA" 
alkaline   batteries.  Orientation of the batteries is embossed inside the battery housing.  No batteries 
are required when the transmitter is connected to the receiver by a Tether Cable. 

 

NOTE: 

For operation at temperatures below –10° C lithium batteries are recommended.  Low temperatures reduce battery 

performance for both alkaline and lithium types.  Refer to the battery manufacturer’s specifications for detailed information on 
low temperature performance.

Solution 

 

Transmitter is ON 
The reason is the transmitter is not  
communicating with the receiver. 

Refer to 

Troubleshooting Chart #3 

for solutions. 

 

Transmitter is ON 
A low battery condition has been de-
tected. 

To detect intermittent conditions caused by poor or cor-
roded ground or power circuits, the GREEN light will 
continue to flash for 30 seconds after the condition has 
been removed. 

 

Transmitter is ON 
An internal fault with the E-Stop has 
been detected. 

Inspect E-Stop wiring for short circuit. Disconnect  E-Stop 
wire as close to the receiver output as possible.  If the 
Status light changes to: 

• 

GREEN, a short occurs after disconnection point. 

• 

Stays flashing RED, send it in for service .  

 

Transmitter is ON 
A short to ground or excessive current 
draw on an output.  It is most likely 
caused by a wiring fault. 

Ensure transmitter is functioning properly, check status of 
each output connection: Press each function button and 
observe Fault Light.   

• 

If GREEN, everything is OK. 

• 

If RED, there is a short in that connection. 

 

Transmitter is ON 
3 possible causes: 

• 

E-Stop output connected to an output. 

• 

Wiring short to the battery. 

• 

2 output wires connected, indicator 
comes on when a function is activated. 

Follow the wire and check for connections with other 
wires, disconnect to see if condition clears.  If not, call 
for service. 
 
Refer to 

Troubleshooting Chart #1 

for solutions. 

 

Transmitter is OFF 
The receiver has detected an internal 
fault. 

Refer to 

Troubleshooting Chart #1 

for solutions. 

 

Transmitter is OFF 
Blown fuse detected.   

Refer to

Inspect E-Stop wiring looking for short circuits (e.g. bare wires) 
Disconnect the E-Stop output as close to the receiver output as possible.   
If the status light changes to: 

• 

GREEN, there is a short is the wiring after the disconnection point. 

• 

Stays flashing RED, call for service .  

What is the 
state of the 

Fault light ? 

Problem state: 
E-Stop is RED 

Fault Light is OFF 

Fault Light is 

Flashing RED 

*Fault Light is 

RED* 

Call for service. 

3 possible causes: 
A. There is a short to supply. 

1. Disconnect A & B connectors from receiver and check all outputs for power (e.g. 

bare wires, improper connections) make the correct adjustments 

2. Call for service. 

B. E-Stop wire connected to another output wire 

1. Inspect wiring and look for improper connections 

C. 

2 output wires connected, indicator comes on when a function is pressed 

1. Disconnect each output wire one at a time and press the function button, 

if the light clears, that output is incorrectly connected.  Continue for each 
output until all output wires have been identified. 

There is a short to ground.   

Note: 

This should only occur when the transmitter is on and a function but-

ton is pressed.  In this case the Status light will be GREEN and will turn 
RED at the same time as the Fault light. 

 

Go to 

Chart 2 

to test the transmitter.  If the transmitter is functioning prop-

erly, proceed to check the status of the output connections: 
Press the function button and observe the Fault Light.   

• 

If the light turn GREEN, everything is OK. 

• 

If the Light turns RED, there is a short in that connection.

 

Problem state: 
Status—flashing 
GREEN 

Low battery condition. 

To detect intermittent 

conditions caused by poor or corroded 
ground or power circuits, the GREEN 
light will continue to flash for 30 seconds 
after the condition has been removed.

Testing the Transmitter / Receiver Communication 

What is the status of 
the lights of both the 

transmitter and  

receiver? 

Transmitter: 
Active light is flashing 
 
Receiver: 
Status—GREEN 
Link—Flashing GREEN 
Fault—OFF 
E-Stop—GREEN 

Transmitter: 
Active light is flashing 
 
Receiver: 
Status—GREEN 
Link—RED 
Fault—OFF 
E-Stop—RED 

There is no link between the 
transmitter and receiver 

Do you have a 

matched set? (i.e. the 

transmitter and re-

ceiver should have 

identical ID codes 

YES 

NO 

Was the transmitter 

accidentally swapped 

with another one on 

the job site? 

Search the job site for 
the correct transmitter.   

POSSIBLY 

Transmitter and receiver 
should be working properly.  
The problem may rest with 
the machine instead of the 
radio system 
 
Call for service 

Was it found? 

Turn on the transmitter 
to check if the units 
function correctly.  If 
not, proceed to 

Chart 1

 

NO 

YES 

The transmitter 
code may need to 
be re-downloaded 
to the receiver 

NO 

!!Caution!! 

 

Note:  

Before you proceed with the Download ID procedure located on 

Page 8, 

great care 

and caution must be adhered to. Also, refer to 

Chart #4 

for Tips and Considerations. 

 
If by accident, the transmitters have been switched with another unit, by downloading the 
ID code to a new receiver, it is possible for the transmitter to operate 2 units at the same 
time (if the original receiver unit is still on the job site).  Therefore it must be  
certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are the correct set. 
 
Secondly, once the download procedure is completed, ensure all other units on the job 
site are stopped.  Test the operation of the newly configured set to ensure no other  
machines on the site work with the same transmitter. 
 
Once you are certain that the transmitter / receiver pair are a unique set, continue  
normal operations. 

Call for service.

Troubleshooting Guide 

Chart #4 

Considerations when Downloading the ID 

Potential downloading issues 

 
If testing of the receiver and transmitter both show the system as working (Chart 1 & 2), then the transmitter and receiver 
will both go into Download/Configuration mode. 
 
Possible issues could arise during Step 4, the download phase of reprogramming.  In this case there are 2 symptoms to 
look for: 

1.  The Link light on the receiver will not turn GREEN when the power switch is toggled on the transmitter to download 

2.  The receiver will “time out” indicating that it didn’t receive a signal from the transmitter within the 30 seconds from 

the time the receiver was put into Setup Mode. 

 
If all indications appear normal during the download phase, test the link by turning on the transmitter (note: the transmit-
ter shuts off after transmitting the ID code in Step 4) 
 
1.  If the Link light on the receiver doesn’t turn GREEN, the receiver didn’t receive all of the information that was sent 

from the transmitter. 

 

Possible Solutions 

 
1.  Try the Downloading steps again 

2.  If this doesn’t correct the problem, send both the transmitter and receiver in for service. 
 
 

Note: you could try to determine whether the fault lies with the transmitter or receiver by completing the downloading 
procedure with a different transmitter.  If this step works, then the fault lies with the original transmitter.  If not, the 
fault may lie with the receiver.

 

!!Caution!!  

  
Note: 

Before attempting downloading with another transmitter, understand that reprogramming the receiver with another 

transmitter, could result in two receivers on the job site  responding to the one transmitter.  If the original transmitter was 
sent in for repair,  
 
Disconnect the receiver to continue using the machine without remote capability and without fear of inadvertently operat-
ing the machine with the other transmitter. 

Reprogramming Tips: 

 
1.  Use a pointy instrument to depress the Setup button on the receiver (i.e. a pen) as the button is relatively small 

2.  Follow each step as laid out in the procedure 

3.  Never lay the receiver circuit board down on anything metallic (there are contact points on the back which could con-

tact the metal and damage the receiver)
