Description of equipment: Give some description of the system and what it does. Include any information that might help
reflect the hardware you will need.
For help choosing a system follow this LINK
Software Logic:

Logic, Interlocks, Special Functions: List general logic for the system here. Also include any logic on LED’s (besides Status).
Any other odd information that will help us make your system can be listed here. Specific logic that pertains to a
transmitter control can be detailed in the “Faceplate Controls” section of the worksheet later.
o Example: “Throttle Max” LED turns on when the “Engine Speed Max N.O. Digital Input” has 12V applied.

Dropout Operation: What should happen if the transmitter is out of range, or batteries die? Remember to consider the
safety of the operators and equipment when choosing what happens here.
o Example: “Engine Run Output” remains on; “Throttle Output” set to low); deactivate all other outputs; all outputs
re-activate when back in range.

E-Stop Output:
o N.C.: *Generally recommended for fail-safe operation* “Normally Closed” outputs energized during normal
operation. Output is de-energized when E-stop is pressed.
o N.O.: “Normally Open” outputs are not energized during normal operation. Output is energized when E-stop is
pressed.
o No Output: You can have an E-Stop on the transmitter that employs logic to turn off other outputs without the
need of a specific “E-stop” output.
o No E-Stop: E-Stop logic does not apply to your system and you do not want one.
(Note: Remember to include your E-Stop on the “Faceplate Controls” and “Outputs” pages on this configuration worksheet
if they apply)
E-Stop Style: Pick an E-Stop that is most suited to your need. Remember that if you are getting an “Intrinsically Safe” (-IS)
model, that you must use the Omron (30mm) E-Stop. The Apem (25mm) fits well on compact systems. The EAO (32mm)
has a small mounting profile on the inside of the transmitter, making it our preferred, standard E-Stop.


E-Stop operation (What should happen when the E-Stop button is pressed?): If you want your E-Stop to activate /
deactivate something other than your E-Stop output, the logic needs to be stated here.
o Example: All outputs deactivate; Maintained switches require cycling to re-establish output after E-Stop is cleared.
Options:
Belly Pack Options:

Handles (Guardrail): Metal Handles are required for faceplate designs where the entire faceplate is used. Plastic
handles limit the number of controls available on the transmitter, but offer a lighter, sleeker design. Metal
Handles (left) and Plastic Handles (Right)

Active Power Switch: Logic driven power system. Imagine your system powering down your device
automatically after 20 min of idle use and then powering down the transmitter to save batteries. An active
power switch allows us to write a program to “Actively” control the power states of the radio.
Tilt Switch: A logic condition or output when the transmitter is tilted 60⁰ or more for a specified length of time.
This can be used as a safety mechanism to determine if the end user has dropped the control. The tilt switch
can also be used to control an output by just tilting the system. For example you can have the receiver stop all
outputs and turn your engine down to idle when you tilt your controller.
Audible Alarm: Specify conditions that should result in an audible alarm. For example you can have an input
called “High Pressure” turn on the alarm with a N.O. Digital input.


Customer Logo Filename: If you want a logo on the transmitter please E-mail us a high resolution graphic in TIFF
or JPEG format. E-mail to configuration@miratron.com

Draft Faceplate Drawing: Draw and include a picture of how you want your faceplate arranged. Keypads can
have circle or square buttons. Remember to include a power switch (where applicable, you can use logic to turn
on your system with handhelds [Example: On with any button press]) and status LED. To draw the faceplate
with Autocad, Adobe Illustrator or Visio go to this LINK and grab the files. An online faceplate drawing tool is
being developed and will be available for use soon. If you would like to use the beta version faceplate drawing
tool please E-mail Rafe Smith at rafe@miratron.com for instructions.
Faceplate Controls:
 Control Type: The following control types are available for the listed systems:


Control Label: Each transmitter component will have a unique reference name. If you don’t want the label to
appear on the faceplate drawing you can put it in parenthesis. Example: (Center Switch) would not be labeled
on the faceplate as center switch, but we can still reference it later.
Position Label (Optional): Here you can label the positions on a switch. “+” will be away from user or to the
right of the user, “-“ will be towards the user or to the left of the user. “M” is the middle position of a switch.
The positioning does not apply to all control types. Also note that you can use parenthesis to reference a
position that is not labeled on the faceplate.

Software Logic (Interlocks with, Enabled by, Etc.): Explain what you want your switch to do. This is a good place
to explain complex operations on a per component level.
Receiver Options:
 System Voltage: What voltage will you be supplying to the receiver?


R1 & R2 Case Options: Only applicable for the R1 and R2 systems. Fiberglass is default if you want an internal
antenna. Additional costs may result if you choose metal.
Receiver Cable: We have 6’, 3’ and 12’ available as standard options for your systems. You can choose custom if
you need something special made. Additional cost and lead time may result if you choose custom. If custom is
chosen, we might require a diagram to be supplied.
Antenna Setup:
 Choose an Option: If an option you choose has a cable included you can define a custom length if you don’t
want the standard 17’. Additional cost may result with a custom length.
Receiver In/Outs:
 Wire Diagram Label: Supply us a unique name for each output and input. These are not always directly
associated to face plate controls.

In/Out: Tell us if this is an input or output. As shown in the above example inputs can be used to turn on LED’s
or manipulate data displayed on a LCD display. Outputs will provide a signal to all of the valve actuators and/or
other controlling devices (amp cards, PLCs, displays etc.) on your specific equipment.
Receiver In/Outs:
Throttle
Out
PWM
Example:
Speed
Programmable Ramping

In/Out Type: What kind of input or output? Here is a list of common input and output types that we handle:
Output is directly proportional to input voltage. Typically Neutral is 50%, Full Scale Port A is
25%, and Full Scale Port B is 75% of the system voltage. Sauer-Danfoss PVEH, PVEA, PVES
are examples of valve actuators requiring a ratiometric signal. NOT all PVG valves are
equipped with ratiometric actuators, so please consult the actuator datasheet if you are
unsure. PVG power output is also required for every ratiometric output.
On/Off output used in conjunction with ratiometric signal. This output can be configured
as “Always On” or “On Demand” (only on when the accompanying ratiometric signal is
NOT a ‘neutral’ value).
Pulse Width Modulation is a very common proportional signal for valve actuators. Most
actuators that require a PWM signal also specify a frequency. Our default frequency is
100Hz. Please note if a different frequency is required.
On/Off signal that is Normally Open (Off) Note: These are not “Dry Contacts” (relay
contacts).
On/Off signal that is Normally Closed (On) Note: These are not “Dry Contacts” (relay
contacts).
Proportional signal for an amp card or other 5V input. This output provides very little
current and is intended for a high impedance input.
Proportional signal for an amp card or other 5V input. This output provides very little
current and is intended for a high impedance input.
Proportional signal for an amp card or other 20mA input. This output provides very little
current and is intended for a high impedance input.
Proportional signal for an amp card or other 20mA input. This output provides very little
current and is intended for a high impedance input.
Proportional signal for an amp card or other 10V input. This output provides very little
current and is intended for a high impedance input.
Controller Area Network Message is a multi-master broadcast serial bus standard for
connecting electronic control units (ECUs). We provide a standard CAN Map with all the
system’s specific I/Os. We will adapt our messaging scheme to suit our customer’s needs.
For a standard CAN Map to fill out please e-mail: Configuration@miratron.com
Most Apitech® valve actuators require a PWM signal, but they also require a specific
hardware modification to our output modules. Be sure to specify the frequency for your
particular valve.
Ground signal that is Normally Open (Off) Note: These are not “Dry Contacts” (relay
contacts).
Ground signal that is Normally Closed (On) Note: These are not “Dry Contacts” (relay
contacts).


Associated FP Control: What control on the remote is controlling this output? This is optional because some
outputs will not have a Faceplate Control that directly affects their activation, but rather will be managed by
custom written software logic.
Notes (Select from list or type custom notes): Use a standard provided notation or just type to explain your
ideas or the function of a receiver in/out.
Notes: Any general information that we should be aware of for the receiver as a whole should be posted here.
