THUMB CONTROLLER

Operators love this tiny, light, rugged, water-resistant unit (TC) which controls the many complex functions of the Maclean Blockholer. To make life very easy for our customers, Nautilus has interfaced directly with Maclean's PLC, which is located on the Blockholer. The only connections required between the Maclean Blockholer and the Nautilus RVU is a single four wire cable. The advantages of this system are listed below:
 

ADVANTAGES

Because the Thumb Controller is very light (450g or 1.2 lbs) it only needs a neckstrap instead of a shoulder harness. This powerful system can control machines with up to 32 proportional and 25 on/off (digital) functions. A fully charged Thumb Controller can operate for more than 32 hours before it needs recharging. Each Thumb Controller has only one circuit board with two small connectors making it quick and easy to service at the mine.

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

For those customers who have a lot of experience with Radio Control Systems this new  Nautilus system is going to come as a very pleasant surprise. The Remote Vehicle Unit (RVU) that controls and monitors the complete machine is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand
 

3 SECOND INSTALLATION

Installation of the RVU on the machine takes a few seconds. Note the powerful magnet bolted to the bottom of the RVU. This allows the RVU to be quickly attached to any steel surface. If you change your mind you can easily move it somewhere else just as quickly.
 

SIMPLE RVU WIRING

There is the usual coaxial cable for the radio antenna plus the other four wire cable.
