Product Spotlight: Raymote® Infrared Industrial Remote for Cranes, Shiploaders, and More

Control Chief Wireless Solutions has been providing industrial remote controls since 1971.

Control Chief Raymote® Infrared Remote Control

Our product spotlight this month is our infrared remote control system, the Raymote®.

When radio remote control units won’t do the job, the Raymote® will allow you to operate overhead cranes, hoists, shiploaders and other equipment.

The Raymote® eliminates the need for wires and cables, like the kind used on a traditional pendant controller, and communicates via IR signal to allow the operator to work at a safe distance. 

An unobstructed line of sight between the transmitter and receiver is recommended for the Raymote®, as infrared technology is most reliable and safest with a clear sight line.

Infrared Remote Control Without RF Interference

Radio interference can cause problems for many traditional industrial remote controls in certain conditions, which is why the Raymote’s® infrared light technology sets it apart. Immune to radio frequency interference, the transmitter sends signals to strategically placed IR sensors, which relay information to the receiver to operate the equipment.

Multiple Raymote® systems can be used in the same facility, allowing for independent configuration, or a single transmitter can be configured to control multiple systems.

Infrared Remote Control Receivers are Reliable

The Raymote® receivers verify and decode the infrared commands through the help of an advanced microprocessor, which helps to make sure the equipment is safe and reliable. If the processor detects a fault, the equipment is automatically slowed or shut down.
