Cattron, a global leader in radio remote control, engine and generator control panels, cloud-based monitoring and control solutions, announced the North American availability of the Tyro 2S line of wireless remote control systems. This addition significantly enhances Cattron’s portfolio, expanding its market reach with the proven reliability and performance of Tyro products, which have been trusted in Europe for over 20 years. Tyro products are widely used, specifically in mobile equipment, transportation, construction, industrial automation, agriculture, material handling and industrial cleaning, among others.

Tyro 2S systems are designed for demanding and highly specialized mobile equipment applications. They are particularly well-suited for environments where robust, durable, and reliable remote control is essential. 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 universal compatibility ensures that Tyro products can be used seamlessly 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 (MuscaPyxisCetus, and Fornax) and receivers (AquariusAuriga, and Scorpius) built to face the toughest 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) programing is also possible.

Mobile Equipment Applications: Tyro 2S systems are ideal for various mobile equipment applications, such as truck-mounted cranes, skip loaders and hook loaders. Operators can control equipment from a distance, improving visibility and safety. The robust design ensures reliable performance in rugged environments, making it suitable for construction sites and industrial settings.

Transportation Applications: In the transportation sector, Tyro 2S systems facilitate the control of equipment like flatbed loaders and recovery vehicles. The ability to customize the transmitter’s buttons to match the control symbols of the vehicle’s interface enhances operator familiarity and safety. The IP68-rated receivers ensure that the system remains operational even in adverse weather conditions.

Construction Applications: Tyro 2S systems are perfect for controlling construction machinery such as water pumps, concrete pumps, and industrial cleaners. The durable and waterproof design of the transmitters and receivers ensures reliable performance on construction sites. The advanced LCD screen provides real-time feedback, allowing operators to scroll and toggle between multiple screens to control, monitor and adjust machinery settings and more.
