LODAR
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LODAR from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between LODAR remote control models 92100-8, 92104-8, and 92106-8?
The main differences are in included components and functions. Model 92100-8 includes a receiver with wiring harness and glands, and provides forward/reverse functions. Model 92104-8 includes a lanyard and cover, and offers customized functions. Model 92106-8 includes a handheld remote only, with push-button controls. All are push-button handheld transmitters for winch control. The receiver inclusion and function set are the primary selection criteria. Buyers should match the model to their winch control interface and whether they need a receiver or already have one.
What voltage do LODAR wireless winch remote controls operate on?
LODAR remote control systems are commonly specified for 24 V DC winch systems. However, the exact operating voltage depends on the specific model and receiver. The product listings indicate a 24 V DC max input voltage for some models. Buyers must verify the voltage compatibility of the remote system with their winch control circuit. The receiver is designed to interface with the winch's electrical system, so matching the voltage is critical. 3G Electric's catalog entries include voltage information where available, and the manufacturer part number can be used to confirm specifications.
Are LODAR remote controls supplied with a receiver and wiring harness?
It depends on the model. Some LODAR remote control systems include a receiver with wiring harness and glands, such as model 92100-8. Other models, like 92106-8, include only the handheld remote. Model 92104-8 includes a lanyard and cover but does not specify a receiver in the included components. Buyers should check the included components for each SKU. If a receiver is not included, the buyer must ensure compatibility with an existing receiver or obtain one separately. 3G Electric lists the included components for each LODAR SKU to help with selection.
What are typical applications for LODAR remote control systems?
LODAR remote control systems are used for wireless operation of winches in material handling, towing, and recovery applications. They allow operators to control winch functions from a distance, which can improve positioning and line-of-sight. The push-button handheld transmitters are designed for portable use. These systems are not limited to a specific industry; any application that uses a winch and requires remote operation may be suitable. The receiver interfaces with the winch control circuit, so the winch must have a compatible control interface. 3G Electric supplies LODAR systems for global industrial use.
Can LODAR remote controls be used with any winch brand?
LODAR remote controls are designed to interface with winch control circuits, but compatibility depends on the winch's control voltage, input signals, and physical mounting of the receiver. They are not universal; the receiver must be wired into the winch's control system. Buyers should verify that the winch's control interface matches the LODAR receiver's specifications. The manufacturer part number and product specifications provide the necessary details. 3G Electric's catalog includes the control type, functions, and included components for each LODAR model, which are key to determining compatibility.
What is included with LODAR model 92104-8?
LODAR model 92104-8 includes a push-button handheld transmitter with customized functions, a lanyard, and a cover. It does not list a receiver or wiring harness in the included components. This model is suitable for remote operation of 24 V DC winches, but the receiver must be compatible with the winch control circuit. The customized functions allow for specific control mappings beyond standard forward/reverse. Buyers should confirm whether they need a receiver separately. 3G Electric lists the included components for this SKU to aid in selection.
