Features

Eight major features of FRP-0601

1. Our proprietary correlation decoding method (SS method technology application) ensures high noise resistance.
2. The 429MHz band specific low-power radio enables wireless ON/OFF control of devices up to approximately 150m away *1
3. Two-material molding with elastomer is used to significantly improve drop resistance
4. The transmitter is waterproof for everyday use so that it can withstand work in the rain.
5. Waterproof receiver available for outdoor installation
6. Equipped with a power-on failsafe function to prevent malfunctions when the transmitter is turned on
7. Long battery life of 15 hours with three AAA alkaline batteries
8. No license required as it complies with the Radio Law and is a specific low-power device.

*1 Waterproof receivers have a built-in receiving antenna, so the communication distance is approximately 80m.

Main uses

• Control of various hydraulic equipment in specially equipped vehicles
• ON/OFF control for various civil engineering and construction machinery
• Winch winding and unwinding work
• Remote control of welfare vehicles and agricultural equipment

Description

The FRP-0601 is a low-power wireless remote control operating on the 429MHz band, designed for controlling various industrial equipment. It replaces the FRL-0601 and FRM-0202 models. The transmitter features a new ergonomic design, prioritizing ease of use and comfort while offering excellent operability. It’s lightweight, with a two-material elastomer molding for improved drop resistance, and includes an embossed operation label for better usability.

Two receiver types are available: a non-waterproof version with an external antenna and a waterproof version with a built-in antenna, eliminating the need for antenna installation. The non-waterproof receiver has the same dimensions and mounting specifications as the FRL-0601, allowing for seamless integration into existing setups.

The FRP-0601 retains key features from previous models, including our proprietary correlation decoding (using spread spectrum technology for high-quality communication), auto power-off (to prevent leaving the transmitter on), power-on fail-safe (to prevent malfunctions), periodic function (which stops transmission 4 seconds after the switch is released), and a waterproof transmitter for use in rain.

With stable wireless operation over 150m (non-waterproof) and a communication distance of approximately 80m for the waterproof receiver, the FRP-0601 is available in 12 configurations, including 2, 4, or 6-point transmitters, two output types (common or independent relay), and waterproof or non-waterproof designs.
