The LRC-M-IS and LRC-L-IS are Intrinsically Safe Operator Control Units that are part of the
CattronControl™ family of remote control systems for cranes, lifting equipment and a diverse
range of machines operating in hazardous areas. They employ advanced dual processor
electronics and safety critical software, protected in an ergonomic and robust housing that is
well suited for use in aggressive industrial environments.
These controllers are approved to UL913 for the United States, CSA C22.2#157 for Canada
and ATEX for Europe and other regions recognizing the ATEX approval. Operation is possible in
hazardous areas classified as zone 0 (constant immersion in the explosive atmosphere). Approval
for Zone 0 operation requires products to be able to tolerate two concurrent faults without
resulting in conditions likely to cause an explosion; whereas products approved to Zone 1 are
only required to consider a single fault. Therefore, Zone 0 compliant OCUs can be used in Zone 1
and lower environments with the added benefit of the two-fault tolerant design.
These OCUs feature an external memory button, for simple unit configuration, to allow facilities
to quickly deploy spare units by simply swapping the memory button between the operating
unit and a spare, downtime and spares holding are minimized.
The LRC-M-IS and LRC-L-IS are available as engineered units configured to suit the specific
application and may (depending on the unit selected) incorporate up to three stepped or step-
less joysticks OR up to 5 full-size paddles OR up to eight mini paddles, PLUS up to ten additional
actuators (pushbuttons, toggle, rotary switches, etc.) OR without any main actuators, up to 32
Auxiliary switches plus Stop/Horn/ON-OFF.
There are so many possibilities with their high reliability switches, levers, feedback to
LEDs, multi-crane, multi-hoist / bridge selection capabilities, tilt switches, memory button
configuration, and global compliance, these tough and highly configurable controllers are ideal
for operation in almost any application and operators maintain total freedom of movement for
safe and efficient operations.
