Cattron, a manufacturer of radio remote control, engine and generator control panels, announced the North American availability of the Tyro 2S line of wireless remote control systems. This addition enhances Cattron’s portfolio, expanding its market reach. Tyro products are used in mobile equipment, transportation, construction, industrial automation, agriculture, material handling and industrial cleaning, among other industrial applications.
Tyro 2S systems are designed for specialized mobile equipment. With IP65 to IP68 ratings, Tyro systems are resistant to shock, impact, dust, moisture and water. This durability makes them ideal for the harsh conditions often encountered in rugged and remote locations.
The latest generation of Tyro 2S products, the S2 generation, supports a range of frequencies, including 434 MHz for Europe, 915 MHz for North America, and 2.4 GHz globally. This compatibility allows Tyro products to be used throughout different regions to control a variety of diesel engines and electric and hydraulic motors, providing reliable connectivity across a broad swath of equipment types.
Tyro systems offer extensive customization options. Customers can personalize their transmitters with specific icons and symbols that match their equipment’s control interfaces, enhancing safety and ease of use. The new Musca 2S transmitter, among others, features large, tactile buttons with an ergonomic design, making it easy to operate even with gloves on. The transmitter’s backlit keys and audible and haptic feedback further improve usability in challenging conditions.
The Tyro 2S product line includes transmitters and receivers built to face tough environments. Handheld transmitters feature industrial-grade housings to withstand being dropped. Most receivers feature durable, potted waterproof solid-state circuit boards within impact-resistant housings. This ensures that the devices can endure all environments and severe impacts while mounted.
The Tyro 2S systems offer advanced features such as one-button pairing, allowing operators to quickly pair a new transmitter with the receiver, minimizing downtime. This is particularly beneficial in mobile applications where equipment may be frequently moved or lost. Additionally, the systems support multiple transmitters per receiver and vice versa, providing multiple users with flexibility and redundancy in their operations.
The Tyro 2S systems are available with an LCD screen that displays real-time feedback from the connected equipment. This feature is particularly valuable in applications like stone crushers, concrete pumps, and other heavy machinery where monitoring parameters such as oil temperature, fuel levels and operational speeds is crucial. The integration with CANbus systems allows for seamless communication between the remote control and the machinery, enhancing operational efficiency and safety. Machine-to-machine (M2M) programming is also possible.
“We are proud to offer U.S. and Canadian customers the same level of performance and reliability that European customers have appreciated from Tyro for years,” said Cattron CEO Ryan Wooten. “Tyro products bolster our global portfolio with a proven remote control solution for mobile equipment applications.” Cattron has manufacturing locations in Warren, Ohio and Liberec, Czech Republic. The company has over 300 employees and 11 global offices. To learn more, visit https://www.cattron.com/.
