Convert Dump Trailer to Remote Control using a Crane Remote including the Winch F21E1B Remote - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06... Diodes - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01...
RU-vid took out a post I made about wiring up the dump trailer without the diodes so it works. It may have been using a link to another site. Anyway I will mention it again without it. I am editing this comment as I found an error on my part due to my not fully realizing that the solenoid and valve coil need to be energized at the same time. I have posted a video explaining how the unit works plus a look inside one. I hope it helps those of you wanting to wire this up to anything for remote control. I am by no means wanting to derail the author or take away what he did. Using the diodes is not a problem as long as you wire them in and are aware of the current/voltages needed to ensure the valve solenoids are getting what they need.
Also on those diodes. There is a Anode side and a Cathode side. Electricity flows one way as you state however that band only shows you which side is the Cathode side. Current always flows from the Anode to the Cathode.
As posted I had opened one up and those wires are meant for AC 24 or higher depending on what transformer you have. The one I have had it removed so I used 12v. The polarity can be switched. On mine the input wires were connected to a bridge rectifier.
Ok Brown is not ground. Its an input to a bridge rectifier. Black is the other input. You can reverse them and it will still work. According to the diagrams and info you can connect 24 volts but you need to know what transformer is in the unit. Mine did not have one so I used 12 and it worked out ok. You have Orange and Red for common connections. The Orange wire is fused and connects to a relay. That is the relay that clicks when you click on start button. Both go to the same place when all is energized. The fused is like 10A. This allows you to connect it up to 120V. The relays depending on your model will be rated for 120 to 230VAC. You can open your unit and inspect them to be sure. These units are meant to connect to a industrial PLC type of controller for industrial motor control. Do not use it to control directly a fan etc. Use an industrial relay or rated motor controller. For your application use a rated relay for your dump trailer unless it has a low voltage trigger. It will protect your receiver from damage if something goes wrong.
Hello Steven and thanks for the comment. It sounds as though you are a much smarter man than I. i am not a professional but I can tell you mine works perfectly as stated. i wish you luck. Clay
@@claymeza Thanks Clay. If you ever need help with stuff in the future I can help. I do a lot of electronics and have programed robots using off the shelf components.
Nice I want to make a trailer dolly with two winch motors controlled with one remote and now I want to get one for my dump trailer for my winch and dump and also for my trailer jack
@@JefferyClay-tl3tn Make sure you use a good rated relay to power that wench. They use a lot of current. The max the receiver can do is 10A and thats pushing things.
at least yours is color coded LOL I bought a piece of equipment and it came with this remote. I have 16 wires all the same color :( no manual or diagrams
The wires you will use to power the pump has to also open the solenoid. Therefore both power wires (up/down or in/out) have connect both to the pump and the solenoid. You have to use a diode so power does not go back up to the unit and burn it up.
I got the same problem, I have number not colors, I got no idea what (com) and (main) is I wired power and grnd and it works in 12v but no idea how to connect it to my unit to make it work it’s a basic gravity down hydraulic unit :(
