Remote Console Push Button One-Hand Handset
The L0WR0201 Longwall Shearer handset is an intrinsically safe (Ex ia) radio control handset providing membrane-style push buttons for radio remote control of mobile mining equipment.
Using the side strap – the unit can be comfortably held in one hand; providing access to control buttons from a single thumb. The internalre-chargeable battery provides up to 16 hours of continuous use between re-charge cycles.
An internal motion sensor provides customisable safety shutdown options – such as console drop, console tilt or sudden impact shock.
Pempek’s two-way radio control technology also offers options for collecting and storing machine data while the machine is being controlled.
The data is collected at the end of each shift by the charging station. Data is then available for machine reporting and performance analytics.
The L0WR0201 model has been customized specifically for controlling longwall shearers.
The L0WR0201 features control labels in English.
The L0WR0201 model operates in 915 MHz band.

Features Charging Typical Application System Integration Option FeaturesRadio Remote Control Console is an intrinsically-safe, hand-held radio remote control handset; designed for remote control and monitoring of mobile mining equipment.
The console features a bi-directional radio data link supporting 2-way communication with the control system fitted to the mining machine. The communication link allows operator key press commands to be sent to the machine for control. The communication link also provides a pathway for machine data to be sent back to the remote console in real time.
The remote console features three (3) multi-colored LEDs to indicate status and diagnostic information to the operator.
A built-in data logging facility allows machine data and console diagnostics to be recorded during the operating shift. This logged data can later be extracted at the surface and used to develop reports on mining production and machine maintenance records.
There are several variants of the L0WR console, each of which has been developed to match a specific type or model of mining machine. Each L0WR model is fitted with a printed keypad membrane that matches the control functions of the machine that it was designed for.
ChargingThe L0WR Muesli Bar Remote Console may be charged using an L0SS Remote Console Charging station.
Typical ApplicationLongwall Shearer
System Integration OptionThe remote console establishes and maintains a 2-way radio data link with the control system on-board the mobile mining machine. By way of this link, any keypress commands made by the operator are sent to the machine for control purposes.
The link also allows the machine to send data back to the remote console. The remote console features an internal “Flash” memory for storing the received machine data. This allows a data logging history to be compiled of the machine performance. Mine management can later retrieve the data logging information from the remote console and use it to generate mining machine performance and reliability reports.
Finally, the machine control system can control – by way of the feedback data pathway – one of the diagnostics lights (HOST LED) on the front panel of the console. This allows the machine to alert the operator to different status conditions.
The L0WR0201 Remote Console can be adapted to a wide range of machine control applications. For each new application it is necessary for Pempek to configure a control button assignment to suit the machine to be controlled. This consists of custom membrane keypad printing and allocation of a unique part number (model number) for the configuration.
In order for a machine control system to communicate with the remote console, a Pempek “Oracle” Radio Data Transceiver Base Station is required. The Oracle features a self-contained radio data transceiver that maintains constant communication with the remote console. The Oracle can then be controlled and monitored by the machine control system over an industry-standard fieldbus. Oracle models are available to support the following fieldbuses: RS-422, CANopen, Ethetnet/IP, Ethernet Powerlink and OpenSAFETY (Ethernet Powerlink)
