Frequently asked questions
Common questions about CHIEF HPU from 3G Electric.
What are the differences between the CHIEF HPU remote control handsets offered by 3G Electric?
The CHIEF HPU remote control handsets differ primarily in wire count, cable length, and part number. For example, MPN 251319 has a 3-wire, 2-button configuration with a 10 ft cable. MPN 251317 features a 4-wire, 2-button design with a 10 ft cable. MPN 251200 offers a 20 ft cable with 3 wires and 2 buttons. All operate on 12V DC. The appropriate model depends on the specific hydraulic power unit's wiring requirements and the distance needed between the operator and the unit.
Can CHIEF HPU remote controls be used with any hydraulic power unit?
CHIEF HPU remote controls are designed for use with hydraulic power units that accept a 12V DC control signal and have compatible wiring. The handsets are available in 3-wire and 4-wire configurations, so it is important to match the wire count to the power unit's control circuit. Additionally, the button configuration (typically 2 buttons for raise/lower or start/stop) must align with the functions required. 3G Electric recommends verifying the part number and specifications against the power unit's manual or wiring diagram before ordering.
What is the cable length of the CHIEF HPU remote control handsets?
The CHIEF HPU remote control handsets are available with different cable lengths. The MPN 251319 and MPN 251317 both have a 10 ft cable, while the MPN 251200 has a 20 ft cable. The cable length determines the maximum distance from which the operator can control the hydraulic power unit. For applications requiring greater reach, the 20 ft model may be more suitable. 3G Electric supplies these handsets as listed, and custom cable lengths are not indicated in the available product information.
Are CHIEF HPU remote controls compatible with 24V systems?
The CHIEF HPU remote control handsets listed by 3G Electric operate on 12V DC. There is no indication in the available product information that they are compatible with 24V systems. Using a 12V handset on a 24V system could damage the unit or cause malfunction. For 24V applications, consult the hydraulic power unit manufacturer or contact 3G Electric to check for alternative models that support 24V operation.
